Sheep Without Water.

A correspondent of an exchange al
leges that if sheep are not furnished
with sufficient wat.r supply, the
fleece will show it, as they will when
they are not fed sufficient, or Irregular
ly. The statement has excited consid-
cradle comment and some positive de-
mails. A correspondent of the Bandcra
Bugle, for instance, says: "AlthOugh
do not doub. the sincerity of 'Old
Shepherd 80, e-~"o'o sn""'u moo
fe'ce1ve his bomb TOO crcduiously. A
year ago last winter knew flock OF
$500 lambs, Eerdcd and bcdded with
a Hook of 5000 wcthers on the same
ranch, treated the same way. They
sheared splendid flecccs, the large flock
averaging over seven pounds per head.
This last winter knew Of flock that
were without water for a like number
Of months, and they shcared heavily
And have never heard that the price
of this wool was curtailcd or damaged
in any way. However, it may be thai,
odd Shepherd is too true iii what he
savs, and that the buyers Of this wool
knew not what they were doing. And
again it may be that doing without
water in some climates Injuries the
wool more than i'll other climates.
sheep, or home stock, will often get and
keep fatter on soft, succnlent, and, OF
course, watery food, without water,
than with water OIL the same food, and
who shall say that sheep eating luxu-
RANT grasses, with the dews OF heaven
upon it, does not, in the winter, at
least, partake of water enough for all
healthful purposcsY
Well, if the animal gets all the water
needed in the way indicated, it makes
no difference how it gets if. But we
are rree TO say that sheep cannot get all
the wafer they need in any such way.
They may get along, but not as we'll as
they would if they had plenty of water.
AS to the effect of lack Of water upon
tho fleece, we had never thought of the
matter until our attention was called to
il by the assertion made by the CORE
spondent referred to. II looks, how
ever, entirely reasonable. If the sys-
tenn is deprived of anything That it
needs, the fleece must feel it Michi-

The Mornons.

Utah was settled thirty-tive years ago,
nearly, and has received at least ninety
thousand immigrants. The Mormon re-
cords claim that they have brought in sew
enty thousand, and the lowest estimate of
Gsntiles is twenty thousand. Population
in new country will double by ordinary
generation in twenty years. So Utah ought
10 have at least two hundred thousand in
habitants She falls short Of her natural
increase at least fifty thousand. The
deficit is to be account ed for by the two cX-
tremes of polygamy, viz polygamy among
the Saints and polygamy among the Cen
tiles, The apostate and hickory" Nor
mons constitute the only part of our popu-
lalion in natural social conditions, the
sexes equal in numbers. OF the twenty
thousand Gentiles in Utah certainly less
than twenty thousand are adult females
probably not over one thousand. As al
most every Gentle child is in school
somewhere, ii is easy to estimate, and |
place them at twelve hundred. So you see
that the adult males among the Gentilcs
outnum Der the women and children at least
five to orc. OF course the orthodox Nor
mon population is just the other way. AZ

Who is Mrs. winslow >

=. AS this question is frequently asked, we
val simply say that she Is lady who, for
upward OF forty Years, has untiringly de-
voted her time and talent as a female
physician and nurse, principally among
children, She has especially studied the
constitution and wants of this numerous
class, and, as result Of this effort, and
practical knowledge, obtained in lifetime
spent as q nurse and physician, she has
compounded Soothing Syrup for children
teethlng. 1t operates like magio-giying
rest and health, and is moreover sure 10
regulate the bowels In consequence of
this article, Mrs. Winsow is becoming
World-renowned as Il benehctor Other race:
children certainly do rise up and bless her;
especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Wins
low has immortalized her name hy this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands ofchildren have been saved from
an early grave by itstimely use and the mill
mons yet unborn will share itsbenetits and
unite IN calling her blessed. No mother has
discharged her duty to her suffering little
one, IN our opinion, until she has given il
the benefit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
syrup Try it, mothers-try it now
