Management Of Sheen.

Sheep management should be mark
ed with regularity. With no other
farm animals is the reward SO great
for punctuality and are in feeding, or
the punishment so severe and certain
in case Of neglect. Ewes for breeding
should he served by the ram from the
November, if lambs are intended for
the increase of the flock of stock
sheep. If for fattening, they should
come earlier, and will need greater
care than those dropped when the
warm days begin to come. Ewes that
are to raise lambs in the spring, should
be fed hay and a small quantity of
grain, each day during the winter.
We have found no trouble in keeping
breeding ewes in good, strong condi-
ton by such treatment, and never
have any trouble from ewes not own
ing their lambs. During the Landing
period, the flock needs the best posi-
BILE attention. Feed good clover hay
and bran, alternating with their reeu-
lar feed of unground corn and oats,
mixed in equal quantities. The amount
of feed required will depend upon the
flock, their shelter and previous man
agement. A safe quantity is six
quarts twice daily, to forty ewes, pro-
vidcd they have been grained some
during the winter. In focks devoted
to the raising of fine breeders, it is
the custom for a man to sleep in the
barn neal the sheep during the period
of lambing, in order to prevent any
lambs from becoming chilled, or to
render any attention which the flock
may need during the night. In any
ordinary flock this would not be best,
but it serves to illustrate the constant
watchfulness needed, as a few lambs
dropped lead during a cold day, great
ly reduces the profits Of sheep raising.
The ewes and their lambs should have
the earliest and best pasture on the farm
chat the dams may give plenty of milk
to keep the lambs growing. They will,
in a few days, need no attention from
the fock-owner. After harvest. when
the early cut clover is s%pringing up in
fresh second growth, wean the lambs,
turning them into the clover field, and
give them a feed of bran every morn
ing. With this treatment they will
not fall away much in hesh.-G. g.

inquired of the English home secreta-

1866. The answer was that such i'm
munity "could not safely be granted
So, although his countrymen in Canada
are still anxious for him to visit them,
says The Pilot, "as he cannot afford to
alarm his family and perhaps serious
" interfere with his business by sucf

The sun" Is Right.

The New york Herald attributes the
business depression in the country to
fear of the standard dollar. The Sun
replies to the Herald's article. 1t
holds that ga knowledge of the facts
of the case leads to the conclusion
that the present lack of Employment
of labor and consequent stagnation Of
business are due, not to the fear of
the silver dollar, but to the actual
grinding pressure of the gold standard.
Prices Of all commodities measured in
gold, have been falling for ten years
past, and it is not certain that they
have yet touched the bottom. Hence,
capitalists wait, and the laborers wait
and everything waits to see what IS
going to happen. A similar stagna,
ton, produced by the same cause,
prevails in Great Britain, where silver
coiD is legal tender only to the
amount of forty shilings and where
the fear of the silver dollar is un-
known" We thank the Sun for com
ing to the rescue Of silver. The
reference to the situation in Great
Britain is strong point, and COM
pete answer to the HeraId's assump-
ton of hard times in this country.

Should Senator Fair be Given u
Second TerIns

SccOAu ASAs
It is now conceded that Mr.. Fair
wishes to succeed himself as United
States Senator, but It must be appars
ent to the most obtuse understanding
that be has many obstacles and much
opposition to overcome before he
reaches the goal of his ambition. His
many acts of commission and commits
sion have estranged a large and
influential element Of his own party,
and thus handicapped, we fear that
even his ducats. as numerous as they
may be, will not carry him through.
That he controls the Federal patron
age of the State there is no doubt
and the FEW appointments he has
so far made are most unfortunate for
his own interests. Ignoring entirely
the highest recommendation an APP
pIicant could have, he has caused to
be appointed to two of the most ims
portant places belonging to the State
men who can bring to him no politl-
cal influence whatever.
1t is understood that one appoint
ment was made for the sole purpose
of bracing up and strengthening the
chances of our present Chef Execu-
tive to serve the party another term.
No aspirant for United States Senator,
however popular he may be, can afford
to carry the load which the candis
dacy of Governor Adams would bur-
den him with. In the appointment
of the Foreign Mission he made still
a graver mistake. Needless OF the
petition which went to him signed by
leading and prominent Democrats
from every part of the State, he turns
ed deaf ear to the application and
claims of n gentleman who for twenty
years has served the party in this
State and spent a large fortune to
promote its interests, and who IS in
every respect eminently qualified to
discharge the duties of the Office, and
gave the appointment to one who has
never rendered the party any service
whatever, and who has no political
following or influence 1t may be
that our Hon. Senator, in the liberal
ity of his heart. which is proyerbial,
took advantage of the situation to
pay the appointee for services he had
rendered him in the capacity of Pri-
vate Secretary.
Again, from the manner in which
some of our Republican c0ntempora-
ries "speak in open meeting" there is
every reason TO believe that there is an
alliance offensive and defensive be-
tween our Republican Senator J. p.
Jones and our Democratic Senator
James G. Fair, by which they hope to
perpetuate themselves and their par
ticular friends in office. Mr.. Fair has
refused to cause to be removed from
Federal Office in this State Republi-
cans to whom the rule of the Presi-
dent. "removal for offensive partisan
ship" would Enthusiastically apply, and
merely because they are the hench-
men of Senator Jones, and aided his
servile bidding at the last election.
We greatly overrato the intelligence,
the manhood and the independence of
the average Nevada voter If Uncle
Jimmy does not have "hard road to
travel to reach the United States SEN
