sweet chimes came to him across the snow

Here Is q timely hint for farmers
and gardeners who desire to raise AZ
home every thing possible that IS now
purchased at stores; Hon. H. G.
Crawford. Of Crawfordville, brought
us last week some samples Of black
pepper, which was grown by Mr.. E.
r. Ready. He got his start from plants
imported from South America, and
says the trees are prolific bearers. He
now has two trees in full bearing,
which are about eight feet high, and is
roofing several more. Mr.. Ready is
satisfied from his experience that
black pepper culture is success in
this section Of Florida, and he
will continue TO root plants until he
has quite large pepper orchard. He
says he and his neighbors ali use the
pepper from his trees and find it equal
ly as good as imported, if not better.
We have tried the sample brought us
and are satisfied that it is strong. Why
should we buy imported black pepper
when we can grow it at homer This
is quite profitable crop, and it would
pay many Of our planters to enter into
the business. They can sell all they
raise right here in the home market,
and at good prices. = Tallahassee Flori-

When Job Pippin lot the voanme o.

without saying goodnight" he left
Dorothy Flint equally as speechless as
himself.
It was some little time before she re-
covered sufficient composure to gather the
letter, the book and its wrapper from the
floor. Her eyes brimmed with tears as
she brought them TO the center-table. In
spreading the wrapper to envelop the
volume she saw her name In Jobs hand
writing. She opened the work and read
the inscription on the fy-leaf. For q mo
ment she hesitated, then opened the letter
and quickly read its mortifying contents.
One moments pause and she had de.
rided.
Hastily showing the letter in her pocket,
she ran upstairs and returned with lew
elry casket that had belonged to her
mother; then, after examining number
Of deeds and papers, one of which looked
like viii, she inclosed them in the casket
and locked it.
An hour later she was vending her way
down the mooniit road along which Job
had Travelled in the direction Of the haunt
ed house.

road on such a cold night, and what pluck

Small IS. Large F!oek. ii Sheer.

On pasture sheep do much better in
small docks than in large ones, and as
rule they should not exceed fifty to
one hundred. Sheep always crowd to-
gether in mass, and the large num-
her do greater damage to pasture by
trampling; in very large flocks the
weaker sheep are crowded and hus-
tied more, and do not have the chance
to feed that they do in smaller focks.
If any disease gets in among
them, fewer are exposed to it
in small than in large flocks.
and they can be more easily cared
for and doctored. In winter shelters
for the small flock is more important
than on pasture. Too many shelters
are badly ventilated and become veri-
table black holes of Calcutta. Even
fifty sheep consume great deal OF
oxygen during the night, and crowded
in close quarters must suffer for want
OF pure air. When we consider the
quarters sheep are too often kept in,
it is surprising that more do not sicken
and die, and even suffocate in the foul
air. Xook well to the ventilation.
