Sheen as Restorers of Wasted Soil.

OF all animals the sheep is the best
restorer of the wasted soil. The horse
and mule and COW deposit their ex-
cretions in masses on the grass, which
kill all under them, and there remain
until dried up by the sun or washed
away by heavy rains, so that here
where pasturage is prime feed, gen.
orally go over the grass lands in early
spring aud scatter with hay-forks these
deposits, so that they may enter at once
Into the roots of the growing grass.
But the sheep does this work itself and
does il well, so that nothing is lost.
Their movements are slow and regu-
lar, and they make few paths. feeding
in line up 10 the salt-trough, the water,
and their bedding place The after
math is not often ted; but if sheep are
turned in on meadows and taken off at
proper times the product of hay is great
" increased. If the aftermath remains
until it is killed by winter and dries up,
it is very light and is often washed
away by winter rains as it is decom-
posed. But the sheep turns it at once
into secure manure. This | have sat
isfactorily tested. 1t should not, how
ever, be grazed closely; and the sheep
should be removed as soon as the grass
begins to spring in the early year.
Hence the sleeps foot on the farm
may well be called golden. We
have the manure; the richest next TO
that of fowls, the wool, the pelts, the
mutton and prolific increase; while its
love of variety, its internal structure
and quiet habits make the most flesh
- Al Co Ga h
out sheep is as thriftless as having n
lake without fish; a yard without pig
cons, or fields of bloom without bees.
Sheep that Craze will feed at regu-
lar hours night and day; and only lie
by when the weather or "the fly" him
ders them. They go over the same
grass nearly each time, take salt and
water, and then lie down on the same
ground. Hence the necessity of
changing them to break up their place
of rest. A new flock coming in will
select new place for lying down. In
grazing they form a line mostly adj
vanced in the center, that space being
held by the leaders, who direct the
movements. This does well enough
when the space is wide enough for both
TANKS, but in defiles or other obstruct-
ions the weaker sheep follow behind
the leaders and Get poor fare, and con-
seguently are puny and often diseased
for want of sufficient variety and
choice of bite. Hence in close districts
sheep must be kept in limited numbers,
or else the whole thing will fail, and
! have known many farmers who tried
a 'sheep-farm' to quit it in disgust for.

ciously managed, better than any other.

Fashion and Woodworking.

Upon the fortunes of wOol-growers
fashion has greater influence than
she has upon any other growers of
stock. When financial distress comes
or other reasons arise for exercising
strict economy in Oh ess, the fine wool
of the Merino and other sheep of deli
cate and silky fiber is driven from the
market, SO far as the popular demand
is concerned. The coarser and cheap
er tweeds and other goods made of
long and coarse woods are then good
enough to satisfy the general public.
The prices of finer staple sink to the
level of, then fall below that of, the
coarser. Prompted and fostered by
manufacturers who wish to take adj
vantage of the low prices, reaction
comes, and fine wooden goods again
become popular.
By choosing to wear fine-wool goods
for dresses and other articles of appar-
ell, the ladies have done much tor the
cause of the Merino and other animals
bearing fine, silky fleeces. The grow
ing custom OF wearing wollen under
clothing, which was few years ago
almost unknown among ladies', has

add to the profits of those who have
steadfastly chung to the Merino and its
kind. For the finer description of
goods SaXony wool will no doubt con-
tinue in demand, and will probably
always sell at profitable rates.
The improvement in means for
transporting farm products from one
part of the world to another has tend
ed to lessen the extremes of fluctua-
ton in prices, so that there is little
probability that any branch of the
wooI-growing business will become as
depressed as it was when, many years
ago, sheep were slaughtered by hun.
dreds in Ohio and other States in
which wool-growing had become all
important industry. 1t may be assum,
ed safely that any one who will adhere
faithfully to The fine woods will find the
average profits at least as good as those
made from keeping any other descrip.
ton of sheep.-Chicago Tribune.

Hair Remover.

Seldom does popular remedy win such
strong hold upon the public confidence as has
HALLS EAIR REVIEWER. The cases in which
it has accomplished complete restoration of
color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerabe.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruif away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as a dressing because it gives the hair a beau
tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of ALL and it has become so simply
because it djsappoints no one.

Sad Ending of IL Love DisappOinf-
ment.

Miss Grace L. Benjamin, young girl,
committed suicide on Thursday ut her un-
cle's house, in Great Bend, near Scranton,
Pa. Miss Benjamin was an orphan, and Il
great favorite in society. She had many
admirers. but the favored suitor was James
Uawker, to whom she was engaged to be
married. They had kept company Tor two
wears. although both were quite young, and
when, short time ago, sic received letter
from him stating that their engagement was
ot am end, she said ii would break her
heart. Miss Benjamin returned his pre-
sents. including a diamond engagement
ring. and then went TO her uncle's house.
She told her story to sympathetic ears, but
her own heart found no relief, and on
THURSDAY she was found face-downward
ON her pillow. All efforts to rouse her
were fruitless, and when her face was
turned to the light it vas seen that she was
dead. She left brief letter to her lover,
telling him that she could not live without
him. A coroner's Jury returned verdict
that Miss Benjamin died by her own hand
She had swallowed morphine.

Pharmacists and Aconitino.

There has been quite general approval OF
the suggestion OF Professor Bedford, editor
Of the Pharmaceutical Record, that whole
sale and retail druggists throughout the
country try 10 recall the names of persons
TO whom they have within few months
past sold aconitinc. with the view OF tracing
the source OF the poison which killed SIX OF
the inmates OF the Western Lunatic Asy-
llm at Staunton.
The State Pharmaceutical Association to
meet in Norfolk next week may, ii they
are 80 disposed, give tremendous impulse
To this inquiry, not only by questioning
their own members, but by invoking kim
drcd associations throughout the whole
land to do the same. Aconitine is so
rarely called for, so seldom prescribed
or used Chat is. the alkaloid form, that
the few druggists who keep it are not
likely to forget to whom they sell it.
Since it is positively asserted that the
aconitine used upon the lunatics with
such fatal effect could not have come out
OF the Asylum dispensary or from any
drugstore in StauntOn, ii follows that 1t
must have been procured from some other
locality. 1t may have been from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washing
ton. Richmond, Lynchburg, Norfolk, Pc
tersburg. Alexandria, Charlottesville, Dam
Vile, or Portsmouth.
The inquiry instituted by Professor Bed
ford upon the suggestion OF Professor Nal
letO now seems the only way TO un'
earth great mystery and provide against
the recurrence OF such an evil in the fu-
turp
