tamely to say that Judge McFar-
lands judicial labors were frem the
beginning to the end of his career,
pre- -eminently satisfactory to the bar
and to the people. In his hands the
scale of justice rested in delicate
equipOise, and when the right seem
ed to require the beam to turn the
one way or the other, there was no
hesitation in causing it so to turn.
All our later reports bear abun>
dant evidence of the painstaking la
bors of the best years of his life.
While his published opinions may
net, and perhaps do not bear the
marks of technical research and le-
gal learning, borne by the opinions
of some of his predecessors, yet it
can be said of no man who ever ec-
cupied seat on the Supreme bench
of Tennessee, that his opinions are
clearer, juster, or more satisfactory
than the opinions delivered by Hon.
Robert Mcfarland. nfe

who have had better opportunity
than ethers, should place upon rec |

and personal traits of character
which distinguished Judge McFar-

hurdle as OelDg GOO means OF maxi
fng the feeding OF sheep more practical
on the average tarm of that character.
When field has been long cultivated,
and has in consequence been reduced to
what we call WORKOUT condition, 1t IS
frequently very difficult to get it seeded
down. unless the application Of manure
is very generous. But poor farms do
not have much manure. and the owners
of such farms are likely not to have
much money with which to buy ma
nure. But sheep will manufacture the
necessary fertilizer directly on the spot
and pay for the privilege of doing it. A
held could be sown to oats and then
pastured by the sheep, which, if they
had a small grain ration. would make
good growth and fertilize the field at
the same time. Some of our best known
Eastern fiockmasters have had great
success in bringing up exhausted farms
in this way. The sheep may be fed as
generously as we can afford to feed
them, and it has been demonstrated
that they will pay for all the grain and
labor, besides fertilizing the land.
These exhausted farms are usually
small, varying from fifty to hundred
acres. They would not support much
of a flock and the hurdle would be a
necessity. But all the sheep that they
will support ought to be put on them.
There are hundreds of farms in the
East and South that can be bought for
little that could be brought into a good
state of cultivation. Western Aurai.

A Water Famine in Mexico.

A good illustration of how the au-
thorities here attend to the wants of
the population is afforded by the recent
break in the city aaueduct. Eight days
ago one of the arches of the San Cosme
aqueduct broke down and the entire sup
ply of water from that source, 1.-THE most
important one and the only one on
which this entire city of nearly 800, 600
inhabitants depends for its spring
water, was cut off abruptly. The
broken arch had been for many
wears in such 3 weak condition as to
cause continual apprehension on the
part of those who knew its condition of
break, which WIS., apparently only q
question of time. Of course the Water
Board, or whoever under this slipshod
Government has charge of the matter.
trusted in Providence and left to that
kind protector the duty ofslooking after
the rotten old aqueduct. But Provi-
dence, apparently, had its attention
called away last week to duties in some
other quarter. So the San Cosme aque-
duct tumbled down, as might have
been expected. Now that eight full
days have passed and the citizens are
all grumbling about the wafer famine.
the same delightful '.waiting on
Providence prevails, and we have
yet to hear or see that the ..Ayun-
tamienton Common Council), the Wa
ter Board, or anybody else has taken
the first step toward repairing the
break. Still this is nothing amazing.
If we were living in the United Statesi
or England should feel somewhat sur
prised, but here in Mexico we consider
this sort OF thing quite matter of
course. Perhaps after the city author
tiles have had sufficient time to think
this matter over and deliberate upon
the best methods for borrowing the
money to pay for the repairs-say q
month hence-then they will begin to
prepare to commence to take the in
itiatory step toward making the neces-
sary repairs. Meanwhile those of Dis
who are accustomed to use water-a;
limited portionof the tpopulation-must
get our supply from cisterns and wells,
not at all numerous here, and pay two
reals (about twenty-five cents Ameri-
can money! per gallon for it. 1 do not
think that this water famine will work
any special harm to o large majority of
the native population of this city, for if
one may judge from their appearance
the use of water as an outward appli-
cation plays no very important part in
their domestic economy.-Cor. San
francisco Chronicle.

Curious Facts About silk Worms.

A writer in Land and Water says the
ideas Of the ancients upon the subject
OF the origin of silk were rather vague,
some supposed it to be the entrails Of q
spider, which fattened for years upon
paste, at length burst, bringing forth
its silken treasure; others that it was
spun by hideous horned grub in hard
nests Of clay-ideas (which were not.
dispelled tilt the sixth century, whesls
the first silk-worn.s reached Constanti-'
nople, introduced and cultivated, like
many other beneftsc by the wandering
monks From thence they were soon
imported into Italy, which for q long,

of France, seeing that u~alberry trees
were as plentiful in his southern Prov
inces as in Italy, introduced silk-worm,
