Summer Management Of Sheep.

During the hurry and rush of the gen.
eral farm work the sheep must not be
neglected. And while one can not give
general directions to apply to partic-
ular case, yet a few general obscrva-
tons will be of practical benefit.
Sheep should not be too closely con-
range, unless it is large. A few head
of cattle with each bunch of sheep will
help in two ways. The cattle will eat
the large, coarse grass. and they will
very materially help to keep off all
dogs. Do not fail to put on at least
one good-sized sheep-bell to every ten
sheep, and then kill every dog, large
and small, that comes around your
farm. Don't bury the dogs, but bury
the carcass of any sheep or lamb.
Look after the lame sheep. This wet
summer, with high grass, or what is
worse-sheds, is very apt to give you
more or less trouble with lameness.
Pare the hoof carefully, half is in par
ing, and apply pulverized blue vitriol,
one pound; red lead, one pound; nitric
acid, eight ounces; adding cidsr-vine-
gar until paste is formed, and apply.
uTH your SHcep Ill YOUR StuDDlc ucluS,
as they do splendid there if not left on
after the feed is gone.
Grub in the head is caused by the
striped CAD fly, (Oestris' Uts), depositing
its egg in the nostril of the sheep during
July and August, which matches in q
few days and crawls up into the head of
the sheep, and there generally does no
harm, though sometimes when it comes
in contact with the brain death ensues.
Study the situation. This can be

each sheep and lamb, and you will
obvate much anxiety and some real
trouble.
The poet says, "Man wants but little
here below nor wants that little long,"
and if you do not adopt this motto in
your notions of caring for your sheep,
do not blame any one but yourself il
you fail, or if the sheep die with grub,
dogs, cholera, or the dozen other enc
mics of the sheep. Once upon time

Everybody ought to have an honora-
BILE ambition and supreme desire to be
and do something in life. 1t is better
lions at all. There are far fewer who,
having a laudable ambition, fail to make
their mark than of those who drift
through existence aimlessly, with no
definite purpose in view.. There are
persons who devote half their lives in
trying to solve the problem of their ex-
istence and the other half in longing for
some friendly hand or propitious Cir
cumstance to give them shove in the
right direction. Much has been said
and written of wasted lives and neg
lected opportunities, and yet the subject
is by no means threadbare. 1t is one of
those accommodating matters that will
admit of line upon line and precept
upon precept." To live to purpose
high and noble purposes an ambition
worthy of all men, and women, too.
How to work out destiny so that it may
inure to our own and the we'll being of
others is one of the most profitable
themes of contemplation. Men like the
stars move in different spheres and
orbits, and to keep in place is highly
important. Fidelity to duty and station
will enable any individual to become
honored and useful. Should one of the
small and comparatively insignificant
heavenly bodies attempt to usurp the
place of one of the brilliant planets, it
would doubtless suffer for its pains end
become the ridicule of its associate
twinklers.
So with individuals. They often miss
the accomplishment of any grand aim
because of a failure to apprehend the
plane on which they are best fitted to
move and shine. 1t is not necessary TO
an honored and useful life that one
should be President, or Senator, or
Minister Plenipotentiary. A man
might be either of these and yet possess
no extraordinary intellectual or moral
weight. Yet, if he adorns the place by
eminent fitness for it, he will certainly
command the respect of his fellows,
and make the best of his opportunities.
A Constable might be a better and
more useful man than King; so we
see that place and power are not always
attended by the characteristics and
principles which entitle humanity to
love and respect. TO make the best of
the position in which one is placed,
whether that position be high or low, is
the secret of wise living. A clown and
a preacher may be the very ant ,podes of
character and calling, and yet man
may be honored and useful in either.
The palpable fault with most of us is
that we fail to make the best of our
opportunities and aspire to conditions
for which we are not fitted. An i'm
portant thing to be remembered is that
character is everything, and that with
out the foundation of a good character
to build upon, all efforts to inspire the
confidence of others incur capacity for
honorable distinction will become pain
fully abortive. Columbus (Ga.) L1>

Speaking of improvements on the
farm, and some other things which need
Improvement, the Country Gentleman
suggests that an unfinished cellar is too
often seen to be place where immense
improvement might be made. Con-
fusion should give place to order, con-
tamination to purity, mud to polished
pavement, soft earth to hydraulic ce-
ment, and when of much size the cellar
should be divided into apartments for
different purposes. Even if quite small,
the fruit room, the milk room and the
vegetables should be separated from
each other.

NO THIRD TICKET.
The Proposed Prohibition Movement In
Kentucky Failure,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April BIT was an
nounced last January that a convention
would be held in this city in February, COM
posed of Prohibitionists Green hackers, Inde-
pendents and the floating element between
the Republican and Democratic parties to
nominate a candidate for Governor and
other State officers. Later, the con-
vention was postponed to April 10, as
the scheme did not materialize SO
rapidly as the projectors had imagined
when they boosted of their intention to
sweep the State over both the old parties
and their hope to draw largely from the Re-
publican party owing to its minority in the
State, was not realized. Now it is announced
that the convention will nc be held at ALI
Prominent prohibitionists furnished the
Courler-J ournal the following communica-
ton:
The repeated postDonement and ultimate
failure of the convention called to nom
mate candidates for State officers on the
prohibition platform is not due to luke
warmness or Indifference on the part
of the temperance folks, but to
avowed and open opposition to a
third party movement The central commit

and the Prohibition League both oppose

The TewIxsburY Inianity.

BosToN, April 12.-The Tewksbury aims
house investigation was resumed to-day. J.
Y. Burt testified that he had made the lowest
bid to supply milk to the alms-house, but
others had secured the contracts.
Governor Butler introduced the testimony
OF former inmates, one of whom, James A.
Goodwin, corroborated the testimony as to
indiscriminate bathing by healthy and dis
eased patients in the same water. The good
clothing which he had taken to the aims
house had been stolen from him. He had
complained to General Butler of the bathing
abuses, and they stopped soon after
Harriet A. Jackson said she got very little
to eat at the alms-house and that was OF poor
quality. She left in consequence.
Otto H. Alden said he had been forced to
battle with diseased inmates.
Charles B. Marsh, clerk OF alms-house, said
he had delivered all the books asked for by
the Governor. There was no register of bur-
ials kept, and he knew of no book which
showed how the dead bodies were disposed
OF, but had heard such book was kept. No
record was kept of the clothes brought by
inmates.
The Governor asked witness if, when a
man was hired, whether his entire time be-
longed to the State, and opposing counsel
said witness was no more competent to
answer that than to say whether or not the
whole time of the Governor belongs to the
State

Body of a Missing Man Found.

Wagner, brother of the deceased palace-car
man, a native of New York, and for whom
an extended search was made last fall was
found by some emigrants, on last Sunday,
on the bank of creek, eight miles from
Powers Station, on the Santa Fe railroad.
The body was terribly disfigured. Consid-
cradle money was found scattered about, and
plain gold ring with the inscription "A
B., to F. W., Feb. l, 1881" was found near
also a business card of Frederick Wagner,
successor to J. Bumiller, New York. A bull
let hole back of the neck proves conclusively
that he was murdered for the large amount
of money he was supposed to have carried
on his person.

A swindIing Freight Agent,

MEMPHIS, April 12.--Noah Partee, agent of
the Blue Line in this city, and also at Jack
son, Tenn. about ten days ago made a raise
OF over $4,000 by issuing fraudulent bill of
lading for 200 bales of cotton which he pur-
ported to have shipped to the care of his
brother-in-law, in New York city, and on
which bill Of lading he drew for something
over $40, 900 through the bank at Jackson,
which draft was cashed there. The cotton
was presumably shipped from Jackson. 1t
is not definitely known as yet if his brother
in-law loses the money or the Blue Line. At
