FATTENING SHEEP In WINTER

Comparatively few farmers suc.
coed in fattening sheep in winter
A neighbor told me yesterday that
last fall he bought one hundred and
fifty sheep, fed them straw, bav
corn-stalks, and grain, all winter
and sold them for forty FIVE dollars
more than he paid for them. aT
got a lot of good manure. y he said
sand that and the forty five dollars
is all / have to show for the feed and
labor. It does not pay.n
If you can buy sheep in the fail
for three cents a pound, and sell
them in the spring for six cents A
pound, it will pay. 1t will pay still
better to buy them for four cents.
and sell them for eight cents per
pound. We can sometimes do even
better than this. One thing is Ger.
tain: it does not pay to try to fatten
poor sheep in winter. If sheep are
not in good growing condition in the
fall, get rid of them.
If you are going to buy sheep to
fatten, select the very best that can
be found. You do not want old sheep,
and you do not want lambs. If the
sheep are long-wool, or Southdown
grades, select those that are year
lings, or two year-olds if merino
grades, then year-old wethers are
best. Buy more than you want, il
need be, and select out the best ia
keep over winter, and sell the poor
ones now for what you can get
Careful selection is the main point
With good sheep, liberal and reg
ular feeding, dry, comfortable quar-
tiers, fresh water every day, and sail
once a week, fattening sheep in win
ter is decidedly profitable to the far
mer and beneficial to the farm. II

TURNING H TABLES.

A farmer hired a man to help
work the farm. One summer day,
when labor was very scarce, the two
were moving in the fields, several
larks few by.
"Look at those big cranes," said
the hired man.
"Those are not cranes; they are
only larks,n replied the farmer
somewhat surprised. ?
"If you don't say that they Me
cranes, I'll knock off work right
now" said the hired man.
As the farmer could get nobody
at that time to take the hired mans
place, he was obliged to yield to the

now that they are cranes, but they
are not big cranes. They are only
half-grown cranes"
The hired man was satisfied with
this concession. Some months af.

FALLING LEAVES.
BY AGNES L. R T


What will become of the trees, mamma ?
The leaves are falling, M by one
Colder it blows;
Soon come the SHOWS
What will become of the trees, mamma,
The bare. browntrees when all isdone?
viii not the trees be cold, mamma,
When all the leaves are blown away !!
When nights are long,
And winds are strong,
Will not the trees be cold, mamma,
On many a cold and wintry day ?
What will become of the leaves, mamma?
Away before the wind they fled
After their play,
Hurried away.
What will become of the leaves. mamma?
cannot think that they are dead.

If l ran after them, will they mind
Now for a race!
Now for a chase!

WANTED HER THIRDS.

A lawyer tells a laughable story
of an old lady who wanted her " law
full thirds" in advance.
The old lady and her husband, a
pleasantlooking but verdant old
couple, came into my office, accom-
panied by a mar evidently a far
mer.
ave want to git some writn's
drawed up" said the old gentleman.
every WE'LL" l said, glad of even
a small fee, for | was just beginning
my legal career
"Tm goin' to SELL
" We're goin' to sell,r interrupted
the old lady, gently but firmly.
SWELL, qCe're goin' to sell an acre
of my medderland,n said the old
gentleman.
I" Oar medderland," said the old
lady.
"Mandy ~ said the old gentleman,
in mild reproof.
"Don't keerw said Mandy. al
have my sheer in it same as you,
Nahum, an don't sign no writin's
till I've had my thirds in cash in my
own hands; mind that.n
ooh, you'll git your thirds all
right" said the old gentleman, reas-
suringly.
81 know I WILL" replied Mandy,
with a confident nod of her head.
"The necessary papers having
been made ready for signatures, the
old gentleman wrote his name, and
Then said:
"Sign right there, Mandy; right
there under my name"
Il amt a-goin to, Nahum
"Why ~
al hain't had them thirds yit.n
well, you can't get 'em, Mandy,
I'll you have signed SO the prop'ty
leg'ly blongs to neighbor Hickson.n
"Then shan't sign Again Ma
hum reprovingly said,-
MANDY
II shan't!"
"Now, Mandy, have sense"

"But, Mandy, don't you see
that-'
"No, Nahum, / don't see nothing
of the kind. l long go made up my
mind never to put my name to airy
writin' till l have the money fer it,"
Here Mr.. Hickson came to the
rescue, and counting out thirty-three
dollars and thirty-three.cents, he
handed it to the old lady, and said
laughingly:
"There is your money. Now put
Your name here"
Mandy counted it, tied it up care
fully in a blue bingham handker-
chief, hid it away in a mysterious and
unsupported pocket IN her balmoral
skirt, and then signed the writins."

at the regular meeting Of that body, which
will be ON June 2, a resolution would be Of
fered to change the government Of the town
from that Of the town and village act to that
Of towns and cities, as provided BY statute, A
committee was appointed to draft ordinances
to that effect.
We have for some time personally ad'o'
ted this movement, and had several times
thought Of doing so through our columns.
We are glad to find that II has been started
without. We regard II rs a very important
and eommendablo step. II will place our
town in the grade to which Il properly
belongs; will harmonic the conflict Of laws
which has heretofore been hindnnee
to our progress and ensure tho ultimate
success Of our free schools, should other
means fail.
BY the way, is II not high time con-
sideration was resumed Us to what IL neces.

A Work Of Art.

We refer to the beautiful statue put up by
Mr.. c. W. Byrnes, of Houston, by order of
Mr.. House of that city, at the grave of the
late Major Hunter. The statue represents
Grief, n female figure clad in antique drap-
cry, clasping rustic cross; the Bonded
head, downcast eyes, and half-parted lips,
the whole contour, typify most perfectly
the sentiment intended. 1t is beautiful
piece of sculpture and will amply repay in
spection.
This statue was made ut Carrara, in
northern Italy, famous the world over for
its superior marble, there being thirty quar-
ries of marble in the vicinity. Tho figure
was never removed from the original box in
which it left Italy until placed in position
in the new cemetery last Tuesday afternoon.
It's cost was was $1,000. While gazing
upon its chaste and Symmetrical outlines we
fully realized with the poet, that:
There is a kind Of eloqueucc in dumb grfef
That shames all olamorous sorrow.
