and the hats fitted the Colonel exactly.
When he wanted Il new article he would

he cannot carry il, and he is compelled
To lie in bed nearly all the time. Men

not well balanced. The average size of

provided what is in il is distributed pro-
pcrly. Iou will observe that it is Just as
dangerous for Il man to have too great a
development of head rs it is to have Il too
contracted one. The old saying of
big head, little wit.
Little head, not u Bit
is not sound one. because | have the
personal acquaintance of gentleman
wcll-known in this city, and who is the
secretary and treasurer of large manu-
featuring company, who requires only a

small head, this gentleman has one of
the brightest minds in Philadelphia, and
is thorough-going business man. He
is we'll known to the cotton and wool
trade OF this city. But there is this
peculiar feature about ia person whose
head is very small or large is exceeding

There are many reasons why you
can stock your fam more cheaply with
sheep than any other animals. Less
money will be needed for shelter and
fencing. They will utilize every thing
which grows on Il farm. and, with the
exception of hogs, the returns will come
in sooner and oftencr than with any farm
stock. If your land is poor and needs
cnriching sheep will thrive where cows
would need much extra feed, and ut the
same time they will be making the land
better. Do not invest in poor stock.
Better have Il few gDod grades than L
flock of poor, scrubby animals.
