Why southdowns7

The size, activity, and hardness Of these
sheep specially 6t them for short, rough
pastures, on which they will thrive fairly
where larger sheep would scarcely keep
alive. They do better on the great Western
plains than other mutton sheep, as they are
lnofe industrious in digging under the
snow for grass in the winter, and thrive the
best Of all breeds, West or East, on arid or
rocky pastures. While thus exposed they
are less liable to disease than any other
breed, save the tough Merino, and can be
kept in large Aocks. The southdown buck
crossed with common ewes, makes great
improvement in the offspring over their
dams, and the mutton finds much quicker
sale at higher prices than the common
sorts. A first cross by long woOled rams on
lean grade Merno ewes may be preferable,
in order to give more fat; but it is best to
cross ewes thus produced with southdown
rams, to ensure larger proportion of juicy
ewes, and especially those tinctured with
long wooled blood, the Southdown male
cross is decidedly superior.
The Southdown fleece is abundant, o.
medium fueness, aud preferable to anv
other for certain kinds Of goods. The wool,
therefore, sells quickly and at fair prices
but while the wool contributes largely to
the profit, mutton is the great thing with
these sheep. Early lambs can be NOR,
easily obtained from Southdown ewes than
from any other, and these bring high prices
from March to June. Though more diff
cult and expensive to produce such lambs
at the North during these months, at the
South it may be cheaply and easily done,
and be a source of wealth to those who
judcously breed and rear them for North

pennsylvania, after an extended scs-
sion reaching to one hundred and fifty
days, the extreme limit to which it
could be extended with pay to the
members, adjourned, sine die, leaving
some of the most important business
of the session IN an unfinished state.
To the members of the House, the
people Of the state are indebted for
considerable rcformatory legislation,
which would no doubt have been grcat
ly extended only for the settled de-
termination of the majority Of the
Senate by factious cXpedicnts, to delay
the transaction of all business. The
object of this course, manifest from the
first, was to throw over to the last
moment, consideration of the several
apportionment bills to district the state
in accordance with the mandates Of
the Constitution into equal, fair dis.
tricts, and then eventually TO burden
the bills with such Objectionable party
features, that no new appUrtionmcnt
could be agreed upon by the House or
approved by the Governor The base
majority controlling the Senate want
ed no other apportionmcnt than the
shameless and unjust gcrrymandcr
forced by the same machine party
management upon the people ten years
ago. 1t furnishes them an unfair con-
trolling advantage, which they seek TO
retain even at the expense OF honor,
