RAISING SHEEP IN TIE SOUTH

Before sheep raising in the South can
become generally profitable, farmers
must make great changes in their man
agement Of sheep, and the Legislatures
must have some wholesome dog laws.
Sheep need legislative protection, and
also special care and protection by their
owners. Owners Of sheep must study
the nature and habits of these valuable
animals and treat them we'll. Sheep
should not only be driven up every
evening and put in n secure yard every
night and sheltered in bad weather, but
they must have salt, and tar, and clean
place to rest on. A sheep, il kept in 4
foul pen, will soon become diseased
Sheep cannot stand flth-they abhor
it. Five sheep will eat as much as
cow, and discharge as much manure,
solid and liquid. Fifty sheep under
one roof will deposit as much manure
as ten COWS. One can easily imagine
how filthy fifty foot shed with ten
COWS in il would become in few days
If the manure were not removed and
clean litter placed under foot daily
Some hardly clean their sheep yards at
all until spring, but most farmers have
no special yard or shelter for sheep, but
let them take their chances in COW
yard with the cattle, or take to the
woods and bottoms for protection in
bad weather, like mast fed hogs.
A flock Of sheep needs looking after
carefully morning and evening every
day in the week and in the year. In
lambing time both sheep and lambs
need special attention. II a farmer or
breeder expects to have fat, plump,
healthy sheep, and to save all Of the
lambs, he must make this animal close
study. He must sturdy sheep books
and sheep papers, and in time his knowl-
edge may pay him handsome profit all
the balance Of his life, or as long as he
owns and manages sheep.
To CHICKEN RAIsERs.-W. ii. Crit.
fifth, Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, says during
the past two years he has vaccinated 2,
600 fowls in yards badly smitten with
chicken cholera, and Of this number
only eleven died. Oficwls in the same
yards not vaccinated, all died. The
proper procedure in such cases is as fol-
lows: "Vaccinate hen, and in eight
days her system will be thoroughly in
oculated; then cut Off her head and
catch all the blood in some vessel; then
pour the blood on paper to dry; half
drop Of this blood is sufficient to vac
cinate fowl, and the bloodo of one hen
will vaccinate your whole flock. Catch
the fowl you wish to vaccinate, and
with pin or knife make little scratch
on the thigh Gust enough to draw blood
then moisten little piece Of the paper
with the dry blood on and stick Il on
the chickens leg where you scratched
Il; then let the fowl run and you need
have no fear Of chicken cholera"

Drinking Dead Indian.

Last week, while out prospecting,
Hon: j. B. Tolley, Charley Johnson
and Tom Megan camped at the head
Of Wilson Creek. The water, de.
l'ghtfully cool and sparkling, tricklel
gently through a lot of loose rocks
from living spring above. The su.
perlor quality of natures beverage
induced the party to hold their camp
there for couple of days. On the
third morning Mr.. Tolley started out
to gather some fuel with which to
cook breakfast. Noticing some drv
poles standing among the loose rocks
above mentioned, he went after them
for fire wood. On arriving at the spot,
to his establishment and disgust he
found that the sticks were monuments
indicating an Indian burial place, and
lying around on the rocks, which had
evidently been placed there by human
hands, were scraps of rags and other
articles usually found in aboriginal
bone yards. The knowledge that for
two days they had been drinking
water filtered through dead Plutes
etectually destroyed all interest in the
breakfast question, and the party
broke camp without preparing their
usual matutinal meal. - Tuscarora

Contradicted by the Preacher,

The following Is told by the Reno
journal: If there is one thing a Ne.
vada miner reveres above another. II is
to hear the truth spoken at all times.
4 few days ago a new preacher from
the East was holding forth to a mixed
audience in the little mining camp of
Columbus, Esmeralda county, and an.
nounced for his text: sin my fathers
house are many mansions" He had
hardly ceased speaking when a tall,
gray-haired man, dressed in the garb
OF an honest miner, stood up and said:
g! tell you folks, that's lie. know
his father we'll. He lives abou. three
miles east of Hawpatab, Indiana, in
an old log cabin that was built when |
was boy, and there amt but ono
room in the house."

An exchange says that the enter.
prising railroad in Ohio, the Cleve.
land, Akron 4 Columbus, has made a
new departure in its time tables BY
adopting system which has been ap-
proved OF, but not ventured upon by
many railway companies in the coun.
try. On its time cards the hours are
numbered from one up to twenty-four,
the latter being midni ght. The con-
fusion which so often exists between
a. m. and p. m. hours is thus avoided
Thus one train arrives in Cleveland at
1880, and one departs from Colum-
bus at II o'clock. This also carries
upon its morning trains weather sig.
mails, devised and set by the Ohio
meteorological bureau from predic
tons furnished by the United States
weather service. 1t is believed to be
the first railroad in the country, if not
in the world, to adopt either OF these
schemes.

Supposed Gold Digginps.

The Phoebe Record says it is thought
by many people at the lower end Of
Lincoln county, who have been in the
vicinity Of the mouth of the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, that there
are large quantities Of gold in the
canyon somewhere, as from time to
time gold has been found that has
been washed down to the mouth of
the canyon. We understand, says the
Silver State, that there will be an
effort made some time this fall, when
the water is low, by certain parties, to
attempt making a trip through the
canyon by boat. This has never been
accomplished but once, and that was
by Capt. Powell.

What Is q Gentleman

This is a question discussed by q
recent issue Of the Pail Mall Gazette.
The best description of gentleman
we ever heard was given by Mr..
Leonard Jerome when he presented to
Princeton College prize to
be awarded each year by vote of
the graduating class to the best "gen-
tleman" of the class. Alas! the en-
dowment for the prize after three
years of heart burnings and jealousies
was returned to Mr.. Jerome. Moth
ing of the prize now remains in that
college for the gentleman save the
pleasure he experiences in really know
ing that he is one. and of finding the
title implicitly awarded him by the
conduct of others.
Mr.. jerome describes a gentleman
to be one in any worldly rank of life,
whether ploughboy or statesman, who
continually regulates his speech, bear
ing and action so as, without injuring
his own self-respect, to respect the
rights and feelings and to promote the
comfort and happiness Of all with
whom he is brought into communi-
cation or contact.
Under this description it will be
seen that eternal vigilance is the price
of gentlemanly excellence, as indeed,
vigilance is of every virtue and good
trait.
