No TINE TO TELL A LlE.-Jesse
G. had the reputation of heing the
biggest liar in Georgia. and was
never known to come out behind.
One hot day Bill II. sat on the
shady side of his barn. After din
ner he saw jess riding in great
haste towards town. Bill hailed
him and went to the gate, Jess
asked him what he wanted. Stop
and tell us a big lie, said Bill.
No time for lying now said JESS
Your Uncle Soil died suddenly an
hour ago, aid l am going for a
coroner and a cofin.' And on he
went. Bill went to the house and
told his wife. She gathered up the
children. He hitched the horse to
the wagon, loaded in the family
and posted off four miles through
the heat and dust to Uncle Soils.
On arriving he found the family
end two neighbOrs in the large
kitchen, Uncle Soil buried, to the
eyes, in halt big watermelon.
The surprise Was mutual, and ex,
plantations followed. 'Well,' said
Bill, / asked Jess for a big lie,
and not only got it hut was fool
enough to believe it, l wouldn't
believe him again ii l knew he was
lying.

Early VS.. Late Shearing.

{ An English journal, quoting from
a presumably American contempor-
airy in an article on shearing SHEEP,
says: We have known of loss by
early shearing, but in both cases
the sheep were net il prime condl>
ton, and the shearing was follow
ed by cold snowstorm. and very
chilly air. Sheep will usually
draw the feet little nearer toge
Their if cold weather Immediately
follows sha.ing, but WHO has not
seen them lie and pant in a hot
May sun when unshorn, suffering
with heat ? One OF the benefits OF
early shealing is that it Is the best
way TO destroy lice. Fowls will
clean them all of If allowed TO 60
whe.e the sheep are-both sheep
and fowls enjoy it. Another, the
necessity for washing is obviated.
Sheep having heavy tieeces some
times do not dry off well after
washing. Sometimes the farmer
may suffer in selling unwashed
wool; but moi washing at all is bet
ter Tor the the conscience than
washing slightly and shearing alter
the grease has started again. On
the other hand, don't shear early
unless the weather is fine or su-
perior protection can be given, and
do not s.Iear weakly sheep unless
very ticky; When thus, they may
improve under such treatment
Shear before the lambs are drop
ped, if possible, having none but
men experienced in the business to
handle them. A sleep few days
well over shearing IS all light, if not
allowed 10 stay Out night Oh
through stormy weather. 1t is
important that shearers should
LEAN to leave from one-third to
one-halt inch OF wool on the sheep
for protection, which they may
easily learn to pc with the coarse
wool and medium sheep without
seriously affecting the appearance
Of the animal, alter little time.
1t is lot a good practice to shear
too close in June, as the hot SUI
may cause the shedding OF wool TO
the skiu.'
The Prane Farmer believes in
moderately early shearing, if pro>
per shelter is provided against
storms in cold snaps. 1t does not
Lelie,e in the policy OF allowing
sheep 10 acquire warmth by draw
ing their feet closer together. 1t
does not Lelieye in trusting 10 fowls
TO keep the sheep clear OF ticks,
neither does it believe in leaving
hall an inch OF wool on the sheep
tor protection. 1t cool weather
intervene after shearipg, it is bet
ltr that sleep receive shelter and
extra iocd. We should not shear
ewes with lambs. especially early;
we think it letter, in such cases, to
wait until so long alter lamblng
time that the ewes be- entirely re.
covered hOm the accompany ing

A Small Industry.

The principal business Of certain
Massachusetts town is tying business
tags with bits If string, by which the
tags may be attached to articles which
require to be labeled. The tags are
cut elsewhere, and set in bulk 10 the
town. The string is also sent
in skeiDs. The business here is to
cut the strings in suitable lengths, tie
one into each tag and return it to the
manufacturer in Boston. This sounds
simple enough and small enough, and
vet it furnishes occupation to between
three and four hundred persons, aud
involves an elaborate system OF book
keeping. The business has been
carried on by woman for the last
twenty years. Tue orders, which
were once filed in bushel basket,
now require large freight boxes, and
amount to au aggregate of fory mill
ionsof tags in a year. The little pink
strings are roelcd off and cut into
given lengths and punches, each bunch
having one hundred and one string''
These strings are Given ont by the
one thousand aud ten, together with
a corresponding number of tags, to
people coming TO the Office for them.
and are paid for at the rat OF twelve
to seventeen cents thousand. Young
children tie with their mother. and
even cd men. and it is the great
source of pin money in the C mmuul-

THE OOUET OF APPEALS.

The Court Of Appeals, at Charles
ton, Kanawha county, had before it
last week, two very important and
interesting cases. One was the State
of West Virginia against the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway Company.
The object of this suit is TO make
that corporation responsible for
taxes. The Auditor estimates the
annual tax payable by that company
at near $50 900, which being unpaid
for The last ten years, would make
the nice little sum OF near $500 600
added 10 our public treasury. The
other was The case of James M. Ma
o VS.. The Harper's Ferry Bridge
Company. The object of the appeal
was to set aside a verdict for SO, 000
rendered by the jury in favor of Ma.
son. 1t was argued by Hon. Chas.
J. Faulkner and Daniel b. Lucas,
Esq, for the Bridge Company, and
by Mr.. Mason in bis own behalf.
It.is supposed that q decision may be
rendered by the Court at its March
special term.
