Why Should They ?

No man or woman can do satisfactory
work when the brain is dull, the nerves un-
steady, the system relaxed and they feel
generally wretched. Why should anybody
drag through their work in this condition,
when bottle of Parker's Ginger Tonic will,
at moderate cost give them the strength and
will to perform their duties satisfactorily.

Sheep and Goats.

There has suddenly sprung up an old
idea OF protecting sheep against dogs by
adding a goat or two in the flock to
drive the dogs away, etc. But this
has hardly made its appearance before it
is contradicted. A gentleman Of Wash
ington writes in New York paper that
it will not be tried more than once. He
strained pair Of Angora goats Ga buck
and ewe) on one occasion to range with
his sheep for the latter's protection; but
the "buck could jump any fence in the
county, and could climb any tree grow
ing in the corner of rail fence by first get
ting on the fence and then into the tree.
In quite short time every wether ] had
was as good jumper as the Angora buck,
and had not converted them into NUT
ton / would have had valuable flock of
sheep ruined. Kill the dogs but keep
the sheep and goats separate here as well
as hereafter. - .
If the plentiful use of bells will not
protect sheep, herding or yarding should
be resorted to. The expense of erecting
rough fence, say seven feet in height,
and OF course impenetrable to dogs, from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
feet square, is nothing to compare to the
loss of sheep. A fence solidly built of
rails, poles, ETC., would last the best part
of score Of years, and there would be
no trouble of gathering the sheep into it
when once accustomed to it.-Gernaan-
town Telegraph.

Corner in Quilts.

"There has been such demand for
vaccine virus that some shrewd fellow
actually got up little corner in quills,"
said DR.. S. S. Bogert, house physician of
the Eastern Dispensary, Essex Market.
$ Most of the quilts used by physicians
are Austrian quilts. Those raised in this
country are not generally large enough.
An ordinary quill will make four
points, or slips, First the feather end
is cut off; next the other end, leaving
tube of the clear, hard, transparent,
horny part of the quill. This is too
smooth to retain the virus, so it is
scraped at each end to make it rough.
The ends are then dipped, and the quill
is split into four slips. They are sold at
$40 per hundred. Single slips are sold
at twenty-five cents each. As there have
been more persons vaccinated within the
past six weeks than in the preceding
ten years, the demand for quills has
raised the price from S11 to $3.50 per
gross. A very good substitute for quilts
is made from ivory chips. One dealer
recently gave an order for 100000 of
these ivory points. Each ivory point
will vaccinate two persons. Sometimes
glass tubes are used to dip in the virus;
but they are more expensive.-M 7. Sun.

Raise Your Own Fish.

BY attaching pump, propelled by
the wind, to well you can supply a
basin from fifty to seventy-five feet in
diameter and six to eight feet deep, with
water sufficient to raise several thousand
carp or other fish. The cost of this pond
and appurtenances need not exceed fifty
dollars. The bottom and sides need to
be cemented thoroughly. When the
basin is complete, place in it small
quantity of brush or floating weeds. If
you intend to raise carp, do not place
other fish of predatory character in the
pond. The spawning will occur during
the spring months, the female LAYING
from $4,000 to 100000 eggs. The eggs
will adhere to whatever they touch, and
will soon hatch. The green scum Of q
partially stagnant pond is fine food for
the young fish. Mud in the bottom of
the pond is beneficial. The fish will feed
readily on kitchen-garden refuse, such
as cabbage, leek, lettuce, hominy or other
substances. Water seldom becomes too
warm for these fish. During freezing
weather they bury themselves in the
mud at the bottom of the pond. While
in this condition they should not be dis
