an1 all sore places well rubbed by the
hands of the men employed, so that
the very bottom Of the sores were
reached. The sheep will become sick,
and in some cases die, when kept too
long in the tobacco juice.
The water in the tub was kept as
not as could be and not burn the sheep,
by from time to time, adding new from
the kettle over the FIRE; and about the
sixth sheep that was dipped, new sup
ply of turpenune of about a gill was
added. The turpentine floats on top
of the water, and for this reason must
be supplied in small quantities and of
ten. Mr. Cossitt putevery one Of his
flock through this course of treatment,
whether there were found or not any
sores on each, and at the end of the
week he repeated the treatment and a
third time at the end of another week,
and again fortnight from the third.
Thus, in four weeks from shearing,
every sheep had been four times dip
ped and scraped where necessary. No
signs of scab were ever again seen in
this flock though, to make all safe,
the sheep were all (young lambs as
well as shorn Sheep dipped once the
year after, and once again the third
year Immediately after shearing. 1t
may be that the first years four dip
pings were sufficient, but-if this was SO
the benefits derived by destroying all
ticks and the promotion Of a healthy
condition of the skin generally, justified
the cost of the operation where tobacco
stems can be had for nothing. Many
wool growers think this annual dipping
in tobacco juice pays in the increased
quantity and improved condition of the
wool of the next fleece.
ANOTHER REMEDY.-Rub soft soaI
on the back pretty thickly, otter shear
ing in the spring, and let them take
the rain; for month or two the soaI
will be partially melted, and will ruI
down over the whole body when i
rains; this will effectually kill the in
sect and cure the scab.

Nashville World. Hendersonville,
situated in the beautiful valley Of the
Cumberland, in the blue grass region
of Tennessee, is about fifteen miles from
Nashville on the l.. 4 N. railroad.
In its vicinity are some of the finest
farms in the state.
Most of the farmers devote their
attention principally to the potato crop.
Within an area of three miles there are
1900 acres in Irish potatoes, that will
average thirty barrels to the acre. Mr..
W. E. Jernigan last season sold the po-
tato crop of three acres for $500. One
season more than paid for the land,
which is worth $50 an acre. The prin-
cipal potato raisers here are Messrs.

A club of young farmers at Minden,
La, has been organized to compete
with each other in the cultivation of
one acre of corn each. The man who
produces the largest crop of corn on
this acre is to receive FIVE bushels of
corn from each of the members of the
club. Each man selects his own acre
and measures and cultivates it to suit
himself. Suppose that there are
twenty members in the club: the lucky
man will receive So bushels of corn,
which will be a handsome premium.
Every member will be benefited in

PSALM OF MARRIAGE

Tell me not in idle jingle,
Marriage is an empty dreamW
For the man is dead that's single,
And men are not what they seem.
Life is real Life is earnest
Single blessedness sham;
"To be alone tbs not best"
Has been spoken of the man,
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But so act that each tomorrow
Finds us nearer marriage day.
Life is long and youth is Aeeting,
And our hearts, though light and gay,
Still with gentle throbs are beating
Wedding marches all The way.
In the worlds broad field of battle,
In the bivouac Of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle
Be the lover of wife.
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant,
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Act!-act in the living present
Hope within and wife ahead.
Lives of married men remind us,
We can live our lives as well;
And, departing, leave behind us
Such examples as shall tell.
Such examples that the others.
Wasting time in idle sport,
Our forlorn, unmarried brothers
Seeing, shall take heart and court.
Let us then be up and doing,
With heartOn triumph set;
Still contriving, still pursuing,
And each one good wife get.

HILL Co. Texas, April 81, 1885,
| will give your readers a few items
from the far West. This has been an
unusually backward spring for this
country, and the great amount of rain
we have had has very much retarded
farming interests. The people are late
getting their crops planted. The small
grain crop is looking quite well, though
the acreage is smaller than usual. Corn
is looking better than could be expected
under the circumstances. The cotton
crop will be very large again, much
larger than if we had had favorable
spring for sowing oats and planting
corn. The people ofthis country plant
too much cotton; it monopOlizes all
their time, they depend upoa it, and
buy all their provisions, which does not
pay any farmer. The fruit crop is al.
most failure. Stock of all kinds
high; cattle are out of reason. Com
mon Texas milch COWS are selling al
from $35 to $45. Hogs are high and
but few in the cruntry. This is a prai
rie country, and the hog law is rigidly
enforced. We have to grass our hogs
in close pen.

Gates.

There are great many kinds of
gates. Every man has gait of his
own that he carries with him when
he moves around. We do not mean
that gait, but the gate that a man
passes through when he enters or leaves
an enclosure in legitimate way, and
does not climb over the fence. When
Sampson left GAIA he was accompanied
be one of both kinds you remember,
but that has really nothing to do with
this article, neither has the Weighets of
the German. We are coming to the
subject directly What difference
there is between the gates or portals in
England and other parts of Europe,
and those that impede travel out on
Onion creek which is a part of the
United States. When an English
editor calls on some earl or noble mar
quis in a social way, or to collect ar
rears of subscription, he rides up to a
stately portal at the end of a flower
bordered avenue, shaded by noble
ancestral elms. From the ivy covered
porter's lodge emerges the venerable
form of one of the nobleman's family
retainers. He opens the gate, and
bows low with uncovered head, and
with the dignity and bearing of an
archbishop, motions the coachman tC
drive right in. When the editor hurlI
toward him a silver coin of the capacity
of dime, the old mans howls of ioy
and gratitude may be heard for miles
We have a very different kind of ar
rangement in this country, When al
editor goes out to visit a friend OF
Onion creek, the first thing he does no
see is the kind of gate referred to above
The Onion creek gate, we mean tn
