Improvement Of the walking gait is rarely

has spread from the horse centres Of New

the trotting action Of one or more Of his
draft horses; the ploughman dllates upon
the trotting action Of his plough horse, the
dealer in coach horses boasts of their trotting
movement, and even importers Of Clydes-

SHEEP.-There is general idea, not IN
connected with religion, tina, there is a wide
difference between the sheep and the goats
Ii is said that goats will eat anything, and
we have seen them chewing brown paper,
banana skins, and even the salty ends Of
barrel hoops. Sheep somewha, approach
the goats in this respect. So long as there
is fine feed they will cling to it. But lie,
them loose and they will find food that
nothing else but chicken would discover
That is no reason. however, why they should
not receive very careful attention at all
times of year. An ancient army was fed
on gum, but that is no reason why modern
armies should be fed on gum and although
sheep will clear up almost everything on a
place, they should be fed. Night is the
best time for giving them their big feed

cows. They say the frost does not injure it,
and it is good feed for the production of

cotton-seed should be added.
Most farmers would make a great i'm
provement in their system of management

could prepare the soil and put in the crop in
the time required to rebuild the old hedge

cut the fodder and give it to the cows in
the time taken to drive them a quarter Of
mile or so to pasture and drive them home
again. When cutting just enough to feed
their stock, each day, they would notice how

Winter Management Of the Manure Heap

Much depends upon how this is done if
we would secure the best results from the
winters Weld. \ first consideration should
be to obtain the greatest degree Of decOm-
position, with no loss from fine fang As
the manure comes from the stables. pains
should be taken to build up the pile rightly
from the start. A common conical- shaped
manure heap is the worst possible shape for
the winter. This is because such a form is
easily penetrated by cold. and is liable to be
kept frozen st its top. even from the first,
thus preventing decomposition The square
form with level top j. the best shape. BY
starting the heap earl, enough TO secure
some body for making heat before cold
weather sets in, and then adding 10 the pile

surface. heat and decomposition can be KEEP,

freeze the top Of conicsl heap where i,

or less warm throughout. Additions of H.

was shot and killed tonight about s
O'Clock by q. W. Wotlord, bar-keeper
at the Parlor saloon. There were no
words between them ut the
time Of the killing, but they had u
quarrel some weeks ago. Simmons
was generally considered dangerous
character when provoked, but there is
some indignation against Wexford for
shooting with so little provocaiion.
Wollord surrendered to the sheriff and
is now in Jail. the jury of inquest re-
turned verdict In accordance with
the above facts.

in that state three years ago. They
left with their prisoners for Tennessee
this afternoon.
a gentleman familiar with the cir
! cumstances says that Simmons was
formerly a highly respected citizen OF
Henrietta, and was for three years
county assessor. He had been drink.
ing for some time and had considerably
impoverished himself. Several weeks
ago he entered the Parlor saloon and
called for drink, when Wofford de.
manded cash, Simmons was very
much offended and day or two later
meeting Woilord on the street he drew
n pistol on him. Woiiord also puliet
his gun, but interference O
bHstanders prevented trouble
Simmons was arrested and refused 4
allow his friends topay his fine, goin,
to the calaboose TO serve out his sen
tence. He was released from his vol
