built In the Dorlc style, and is an admirable
specimen of the boldest and coldest of the

Office are the model rooms, where many
thousands of ideas have been materialzed

by over /, 500 clerks, ar d, like most of the Gov

Sheep for Wool and Mutton


About ten years ago | began with a
small flock Of twenty scrub owes and
one thoroughbred Meriuo buck. | soon
numbered one hundred head, graded
onc-fourth to one-half Morino. had
a strong constitution and fine fiber of
wool, but | wanted still better; | de-
sired larger sheep for mutton, more
rapidly-growing and earlier-maturing
lambs; wanted more wool, too The
next cross was with COtswOld, a high
grazing sheep adapted to Kentucky and
IenDeSSCG-a breed that Colonel
Richard Peters and other eminent au-
thOrities considered unfit to breed on
the cotton plantations of middle Geor-
gia. My success has been equally re-
markable with this large frame, long
comb mutton sheep. | have kept as
many as eighty to one hundred head,
generally selling off in early spring the
buck lambs for mutton, and OCCASION
ally buck and small flock to some
ncighbor for breeding purposes. From
twenty head worth fifty dollars, with
the buck, have in ten years sold wool
and mutton amounting to five hundred
dollars. | have lost but few sheep by
dogs, and my flocks have been very
healthy, entirely exempt from foot rot
and other diseases that these animals
are subject to on the Downs of England
and in some of our Northwesterly
States.
Undoubtedly the Merino is the sheen
to begin with; above all others he

Proof Better Than Assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from W. H. Dean, of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago was taken with
very violent pain in the small of my back.
1t was so severe that l could hardly
breathe; every movement caused great
agony. l finally found out it was lumbago'
Being entirely helpless, friend sent to
druggist and got two ALLCoCK's Porous
PLAsTERs; these were well warmed and
applied to my back, one above the other.
In half an hour, to my great delight and
surprise, found the pain began to abate.
In two hours l was able to walk out and
attend to my business, the pain being al
most gone. Next day was all right but
continued wearing the plasters for week

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL
Agricultural Truth a Unit

Tn an article ander the heading "Cul-
.iration OF Corn" Major j. H. Dent
ravs, ~ mad visit from and DID, ex-
,,o,,ienced Vermont farmer who Hau
pocome rich from farming, and in look
inc ot our farms and mode OF cultlVa-
lion he remarked that Unless grass
and stock we're raised on our farms, IN
, fow wears we would have no soil 10
on1tivstn for no lands could last SO
constantly cultivated under the plo"'
70 the above sound Northern con-
nontion Georgia's model farmer re-
niles: "We see It taking place, and
have resorted to terracing to save themi
but nothing will save them and main"
tain their fertility like grass clover
and the small grain cops. Let the cul-
aviation of grain and grass and the
raising of stock be enlarged, and the
olanting of cotton be curtailed'
The remarks of the Vermont farmer
call to mind another farmer born ana
,,eared in the cold climate OF thaO
Northern State, who, emlgratlhg W
Western New York in the first decade
of this century, made q fortune py
farming and did not have a ploW on
his farm. His plan was to convert
through the organizing power OF grass
and the COW, air and water into mllK'
butter cheese and money, with no
plow to aid the soil in wasting fertility
In an early day before the Erie canal
was made, when it cost two bushels OF
wheat in Western New York to send
one bushcI to tide water on the Hudson
river, butter and cheese were taken IN
bopts and on RATS down the Chenango
and Suequehanna rivers to Baltimore
and other distant markets. Wearing
out land in producing crops which are
worth less than the raw material
consumed in making them, is
one of the worst mistakes in
American agriculture. 1t is bad enough
10 throw away honest, hard work on
the farm by misapplied tillage; but to
incur double loss, a loss of planttoo
as well as of labor, makes such farm
ing very Improbable industry To
tell the plain truth in the plainest
manner, how many million laborers in
this great nation Of farmers consume
in part the earth's natural fertility to
the injury of mankind? Our present
system of tillage and husbandry has
come to MS by inheritance. 1t has
spread almost hopeless sterility over
vast areas of Alaska, Africa, Europe
and America. 1t works the soil,
whether deep or shallow, precisely as
a miner works gold mine-he takes
all that he can find that is worth hav-
ing, and then opens new placer or
plantation elsewhere. RestitUtiOn OF
plant food corrects this evil in some
degree. The restitution made is apt
IL be defective with diminished capital
in long cultivated fields. .-S0utherp

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
DR.. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters. Had he called it
Prickly Ash "Regulator," Curative" or
almost anything but BttterS it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tions of similar character. The name Bit
ters is misleading; it is purely medicine,
and can not be used as beverage.
