Shearing.

- - a
to prompt him to humanity in the treat
account and for the sake of the sheep,
we ask humane treatment at shearing
time The animal should be handled
kindly; should be held in the most COM
Portable position; should be restrained
with the least possible force and should
never be put into the hands of care
less shearer who cuts and slashes away
without regard to whether he draws
blood or not. When man cannot
shear a sheep without having it look,
after the operation, like the face of q
man who has been shaved by an APP
prentice with dull razor, he should
not be allowed to shear one at all. In
shearing Merinos it is not always pos
sible to prevent some cutting of the
skin, but frequent cutting even on this
breed should be sufficient to demonstrate
that the shearer is incompetent. A
shearer must have experience to do the
work well. A novice will most likely
make bad work on both fleece and skin
of the Merino. especially. The most
delicate part of the work is, perhaps,
shearing about the udder, of young
Merino eve having no lamb, in par
ticular. In such case the udder is small
and concealed from view by the wool,
and unless special care is exercised
there is danger of severing the teats,
which will make them useless unless
opened by artificial means. The best
advice that can be given to those who
have never sheared a sheep, is to never
undertake it unless they have become
familiar with the process by seeing
good shearers perform it. OF course
there must be a first time in every
shearer's experience, but it ought to
follow most careful observation of the
practice of others. This being true it
is not necessary to describe the process
in detail in this connection.
The wool should be sheared off pretty
close and even, care being taken not to
cut the wool twice in two. But the
shearing should not be SO close as to
expose the skin to the sun or the animal
to the danger of taking cold. A-great
deal of our shearing isperformed before
the weather is very warm; and it is only
necessary to remember that the removal
of the heavy fleece makes great change.
and if the weather is only moderately
cool the animal will feel it and not only
be made uncomfortable but, perhaps,
take cold. This is species of cruelty
which should be carefully avoided. But
If the weather happens to be quite warm,
and the sun hot, the skin will become
sun-burnt if the shearing has been done

Good Society.

The term ssgood society" to the I'M
observing and uninitiated would seem
to imply class of persons separated
by common consent from the rest of
mankind for their excellent morals. in
tellectual ability and other qualities
which would seem to place them in
sphere far removed from those differing
from them in mind and morals But at
the present time it merely signifies GER
tain people of abundant means and little
brains, others with less brains and
abundant 'scheek," and vet few others
who pride themselves on family
A mystic charm surrounds the latter
class which no one has yet been able,
or perhaps has had the desire to look
into, or probably in this democratic
country. where aristocracy is unknown,
there would be some very startling rev.
Citations. Were some one of an inquir-
ing turn of mind to investigate the true
ancestral lineage he would probably
find very little trace of blue blood in the
ancestry of a hundred years ago.
If among this class of people there is
one 9 steemed above the others for that
which makes him eminent among his
fellows, the possession of mind of his
own, let him take warning by the gen.
cral uprising in Europe against the
aristocracy and not seek to copy that
which has met with condemnation in
the old country and will most assuredly
meet with disapprobation in this land
of liberty and equality. But let him
rather, like the great and efficient bell
wether that he is, jump from the field of
idling and sycophantic fawning on
riches to pastures of learning or honest
labor. and surely the rest Of the sheep
will follow.
In every town of any pretensions
whatever there is always select coterie
Of what is termed the s.best society,"
the male portion usually consisting of
idle, dissolute fellows, rapidly squander-
ing the fortunes left them BY hard
working fathers; the females, in most
eases; rendered helpless by the educa-
ton which was meant to refine and i'm
prove them, spending their time in
dawdling over execrable .'fancy-work, +"

A Doctors Occupation Gone.

A good story is told of doctor whose
most profitable patient was an old lady who
suffered greatly from dyspepsia, nervous
ness and weak kidneys. His medicines
seemed to relieve her but did no permanent
good. Her nephew induced a trial of DIR.
Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsapariila
which benefited her so much that she dis
missed the doctor. His peculiar sensitive
ness caused him to give up his practice, and
instead of responding to professional calls,
he often merely grunted take Guysott's,"
which saying became proverbial in the
neighborhood and large sale for this
medicine soon sprang up.

to new complications and resulted in q
match being arranged for the following
evening between two men named Martin

lasted % minutes. Almond was worsted.
