A CONSISTENT MAN.-The ''free pass"
question has very much agitated the present
session of the Arkansaw Legislature. The
other day well-known representative arose
and said; 'Mr Speaker, wish to offer a
resolution making it misdemeanor for any
member of future session of the Arkansaw
legislature to accept free pass over any
railroad "Why not let it apply to the
members of the present session p some one
asked. "Oh, no, that won't do. We've
all got passes, and it might be impolite to
return them. Sir, this pass system is wrong.
1t has tendency, sir, to corrupt but it
saves money. If they hadn't sent me pass
1 don't know how 1 would have got here.
Reckon I'd had to walk, but, sir, it is our
daty to remove future legislators from temp
tation. I am in favor ofall good measures,
and 1 promised my people that l would
work for the temperance cause. / am a
temperance man from the word CO." In
turning suddenly his coat tails struck the
corner of the desk. Reaching back and
taking the dripping fragments of bottle
from his pocket. he remarked: Temper
ance is the salvation of man and the Joy of
woman, but I'd like devilish well to know
who put that bottle in my pocket. Smells
like pretty good Ticker, too. Speaking
about passes, why, sir, the future legisla-
ture ought to have every possible induce
ment to behave himself.-4rkdnsaw Trarel-

Road MACHINES From communica-
ton in the Leesburg Washingtonian we ex-
tract the following
1.-THE right of the Road Board to purchase
machinery for use on the public roads, was
decided, by the Commonwealth ATTORNEY,
before the pul chase was made, the expedien.
cy of this act has been endorsed by the pub
lie, so far as the Mirror and Washinqtonian
reflect public opinion. A Rock Crusher.
and Lamborn Road Machine now await the
open season, to attest their usefulness, and
power for good, to the cost of the Road Dis
triet-some $500. The unanimity of senti
ment, regarding the capacity of these Ma
chimes to do what is claimed for them, ex
pressed by the Road Boards, who have
adopted them, and by individuals who have
Travelled the roads worked by them, is too
strong for any reasonable beng to doubt.
that if the true purpose for which the Road
Tax is levied, is to make the roads durable
and smouih, the best means to attain that
end, is to give fair and impartial trial
here, to these machines, that have been full
ly tested elsewhere, and not found wanting.

MAKING HASTE sLowLY.-Many people
are impatient at the delay in putting out
bad public servants; but Rome wasn't
built in day." and we cannot expect the
Government to turn everything out at the
windows, all at once. This is an admins
tration of reform, and no doubt it will do
it's work thoroughly and well; but to secure
these results it must move with proper de-
liberation in all matters of public trust. We
are all agreed that men who have prostitut-
ed their offices must go. They have had
them too long already; but there must be a
decent inquiry into the fitness Of their sue
cessors. Let US possess our souls in pa.
thence. The ''fesh pots of Egypt" are for
the most part permanent, and the rations
will be served out in due eason.-NorfoM

Soils for Fruits.

The best soil for the production of the
apple is deep, rich, moist loan with a
sandy subsoil; although it succeeds moder-
ately well upon any soil not too dry.
The pear delights in deep, rich, warm
loan, with clay subsoil.
The plum requires deep moist soul, but
there must be no stagnant water in it.
The cherry grows best in a rich, warm,
sandy loan. If 8 mulch of leaves, straw or
brush is put around them, they will be very
much benefited by it,
The ounce should be planted in a very
moist, clayey soil, but one free from stag
nant water.
The peach produces fruit of a much finer
quality when planted upon light high land
with southern exposure. 1t is also much
morehardy and longer lived than upon q
stronger soil and more northern exposure.
The grape delights in high, light, rich,
stony soil end produces its sweetest fruit in
the driest parts. On very dry soils q mulch
of old hay, leaves, brush, etc., during the
uiUutuS VI July anu AuSuSt VIII Do Aouuu
very beneficial, but. should be removed in
September, to allow the vines to more fully
mature wood and roots before very severe
weather.
Currants and gooseberries succeed best in
| the soil advised for the ounce.
RAspberries and blachberries are more
hardy if planted on light, sandy loan, but
if large berries are desired mulch must be
used in July. On more moist land mulch
ing is not needed, but the canes are more
liable to be winter-killed
| The different varieties Of strawberries
succeed upon great variety of soils; on
moist land the berries are generally large,
fewer in number and of inferior quality,
while IN light land, more and sweeter ber-
ries are produced, but they will be smaller.
To overcome the last difficulty heavy mulch.
ing or thorough irrigation must be resorted
to.-Our Country Home.

FEEDING AND CARE OF EEP.-The
better sheep are cared for, the larger the
profit TO the owner. The f1ock-master
should understand the relative value of
grasses, and the varieties of winter feed,
and possess sort Of instructive Judgment
in matters relating to sheep. Taking into
account the various conditions of food, eli
mate, and conformation of country, he will
have to selec. the breeds best adapted to
his requirements. Ordinary 1ocks may be
greatly improved by the introduction of a
pure-bred ram possessing specially desired
characteristics. Where a good market for
either wool OF mutton is available, the
sheep should be such as will best meet the
demand. The habits and instincts of sheep
should be as nearly as possible adapted to
the character of the range they are to oc-
cupy, as the process of acclimatizing is Of
ten very costly one. The heavy-framed
Cotswold and the plump Leicesters would
not improve on poor and impoverished
soil, or under conditions necessitating their
carrying their heavy weight of flesh and
aeece up the me untain sides. The lighter
and nimhler breeds are the best adapted to
upland country, while the heavier sorts
thrive most on rich and succ1lelt grasses
of the plain. The original Cotswolds
were, however, natives of somewhat hill
ly district. Merinos are poor mutt ton
sheep, and are bred mostly for their fine
wool. They are thrifty and hardy, and
will pick up a living on scanty pastures.
The more active breeds OF sheep will not
endure close confinement in winter without
injury. 1t is well to avoid, as mu' as
possible, the driving of sheep along dusty
roads. The dust irritates the skin and
causes discomfort. 4gricuttur-
ist for April.
