least one-third of these shall be cut
off and their salaries reduced by law.
If any resign on account of such re-

He suggests the passage of a law pro-

Their, that Ii there are two or more all

up his ideas as follows: AS

Amount of Feed.

We are often asked how much cotton
seed is required to feed sheep over the
winter in the sections where ii is nee
essary, and we have asked again OF
those who have had experience and
we find that three bushels per head
for the season Is considered amply suf-
ficient, and more than the average
amount put up. Allowing that we
feed one hundred days, three bushels
per day would be plenty, but MS the
weather is variable and the condition
OF the range uncertain, sometimes not
one-half Of that quantity Is required
to keep up the condition of the Hooks
TO healthy standard, and it is this
uncertainty which makes such ques-
tions difficult to answer, and what is
worse for some, it leaves undecided in
their minds the all important ques-
ton, if feed is required or no.
We have all heard the story of the
Frenchman who studied economy
and having tried If his horse would
live without eating, made success of
it so far that he trained the horse so it
would not eat He saved the feed,
but when the horse got used TO the
starvation diet, il died. Sheep rascrs
should keep in mind the Frenchman
and his horse and keep themselves
from anything like following in his
| footsteps. AS we cannot control the
! seasons we must prepare for them.

Too Much Complaint About Sick Sheep.


When we see, hear and read of So
much complaint by fiockmasters about
sick, dropping, moping, scabby, dying
sheep our mind reverts back to the
cause of all this, stated by a successful
wool grower of Coleman county, II. IL
Overall, who says, "the direct and
main cause is triilngneSsn We be-
lieve most all, if not all of our would
be wool growers can credit his words
in toto. Among all the complaints
we have seen of late in regard 10 sick
and dying sheep, there has not been one
instance (where sheep are properly
cared for or Il fat sheep, or sheep in
n thriving condition dying. Sheepmen
would do well to note this and II will
make for them good starting point.
Almost all diseases in sheep originate
from starvation and accumulation OF
filth. Hogs can live in filth and fatten.
Tley can pile up in rainy, cold weather
and keep fat, and suffer but little.
But very different with sheep.
They die in filth, and chill TO death
in cold, stormy weather. Hogs
can live without SALT sheep can
not. Sheep must be Kept dry,
and sheltered sufficiently from cold
winds. They ought TO be sailed once
week with sulphur III tlelr sun ia
dry warm weather. They should he
shifted about from place to place and IL
they are on a poor range they ought 10
have a little grain once "a day to keep
them strong, and To keep their blood
circulating freely. The weak ones
should be separated from among the
strong, and fed more grain and oftener.

THE STEAMER KYLE.
All Hope OF Raising Her Abandoned by
Capt. Hates.
The Eckert Saving the CargO-The En-
Eines 10 be Recovered.

Capt. Lew Hates, of the sunken steamer
Will Kyle, arrived yesterday on the Kate
Adams and left at night on the IL o'clock
train for Cincinnati. All hope of raising
the Kyle has been abandoned and the
Eckert, which, with force of forty men,
has been for some time attempting to do
so, ceased all efforts in that direction at 4
o'clock yesterday morning and went to
work to take the remaining cargo from the
hold. There are about l200 or 400 barrels
of sugar and molasses to be taken out.
The contents of several barrels which were
removed day or two ago were fully half
gone, and it is estimated that this is a fair
average for that which will now be re-
moved,
The Kyle lies against the bank, with her
stage thrown out exactly as it was when
she landed. She has settled some, though
her head is still little out of water, which
is twenty-three feet deep on the outside
the depth over her guards being fully
seventeen feet. The river is rising ano

ROBBING THE MAIL.
4 Young MaiI-Rider Sentenced TO Six
Months ImprisOnment.

In the United States Court yesterday
the case of Junius Powell, charged with
tampering with the United States mails,
was called and disposed Of The prisoner
is a youth of about sixteen years, and re-
sides near Brownsville, Haywood county.
He has been for some time past employed
in carrying the mail between Brownsville
and Double Bridges. On more than one
occasion letters were missing, but the Off
cials were 10th to suspect the boy, and
waited for something more definite. 4 short
time since, when he arrived at Woodville,
with mail from Double Bridges, it was dis
covered that a number of screws on the
mail bag We're loose, and that an opening
had been made in the bag; also that a
letter containing 81 % had been torn open.
The young man was arrested, and at the
trial yesterday plead guilty. He said in
explanation that his horse SHE'D, raking
the mail bag against a tree and damaging
it to the extent already known. Several
letters fell out, and the temptation to open
one of them was too strong to be resisted.
His sentence was six months in the work
house at Brownsville, where he will be
sent Thursday morning.

LORD COLERIDGE
Inaul;urates the Work of Modelling the
English Judiciary.

English Judiciary.
Lori Chief Justice Coleridge has already
begun to put into practical use the pro-
fessional information he obtained in the
United States during his recent tour. His
lordsEip, since his return, has discussed
freely with the great lawyers and judges
of London the merits and dement's of
American jurisprudence and in these semi
profes sional conferences has never hesitat-
ed TO express great admiration for the man.
ner in which Americans have deYel-
opened the local or home government
idea until, as he says, it has become to OBJ
servant foreigners the most striking fea-
ture OF American institutions. The gene
raj government Lord Coleridge thinks,
although not strictly more constitutional
than that of England, appears to the for
eign observer to have less to do with the
people or their personal affairs than any
government in the world, and to be con-
fined in its functions within a sphere that
it might be described as simply an inter
national agency or bureau, with practi-
cally no absolute power of its own, and
acting; under popular direction. Lord
Coleridge has taken every oppor-
tunity of impressing these views
upon the liberal members of his pro-
fession in England, and has already sue
| ceeded in breaking down much conserva-
tive prejudice. His first attempt to
Americanize British practice has been en-
tered upon, and has steadily gone beyond
the mere approval of his colleagues and
secured favorable Cabinet action. This
step has for its object the formation of a
system of district courts throughout Eng.
land, after the model of the district courts
in the United States. A bill for the crea-
ton OF such system of courts in Eng
land has been prepared under the super
vision, it is understood, of Lord Coleridge,
and has been accented bv the Cabinet

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
KESToN, November 26-The very bad
weather for a week past has put a check
on almost all kinds of work, and business
is dull.
The Kenton Stave Factory is still turn.
ing out a great number of slaves and heads
daily, but will be forced to stop running
very soon for want of timber, unless the
roads improve. Six dollars a cord is now
paid for stave timber delivered at the fac
tory, and most of the white oak near town
has been exhausted. Another factory five
miles from town is doing a great deal OF
work. Farmers generally have been get
ting out timber for these factories during
the summer and fall, and many crops have
been neglected and still remain in the
field.
This county is very heavily timbered
and the soil is fertile. Fine crops OF corn
and wheat re made here, but cotton does
not do so well, though a good deal is
grown.
The educational advantages of this
county (Gibson) are unsurpassed by any
county in the State. There are good
schools in every neighborhood, which run
from six to ten months every year. Most
of the citizens are proud to pay the extra
tax for schools, for their property is
greatly enhanced in value thereby.
Considerable changes have recently oc-
Cured in business circles here, but no
failures. The business men here are gen.
orally very solid.
