The sun hardly reached it9for the

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.


Upon the latter Rests the Future Pros-
perity of Sheep Husbsndry.
Ten good sheep are worth more than
any number Of inferior ones. super
fetal observers huve an unfortunate
habit OF estimating the status OF sneep
husbandry by standard OF enumefa-
ton. Deductions from such premise
are invariably misleading. oneep
husbandry is not necessarily tending
toward determination because any
one years returns may show a falling
of in numbers of animals from some
former enumeration. The quality
rather than the number of sheep in the
country liz the foundation on which TO
build prophesies of the future. The
pinch of hard times and its influence
in diminishing the number OF sheep
has more than once been found an
aid to higher flock stand
ard. The general discourage
ment among sheep-owners dur
ing the years Immediately succeeding
the war, in the opinion of many OBJ
servers, deserves to be credited with
large measure Of marked increase In
average weight of fleece during the
decade of 1860 to 1870. Most OF those
who had inferior sheep let them go al
together. Others who had some good
and some inferior animals got rid OF
the latter-with what result let the in
crease OF more than fifty per cent. In
average weight of fleece produced
throughout the entire country ateest.
1t ia in view of these facts from his
tory that the Gazette has ersi$ently
declined to join the mourning band 'of
those who bewail the decrease in
sheep du ring the past three ysars as
the harbinger Of flock determination.
The change from sheep raising TO
some other line of husbandry. when
sheep had proved Improbable, is
no more indicative OF general aban-
donment OF wool and mutton pro-
duction than looping of barren
branches indicates destruction of the
orchard and the abandonment of fruit
growing. Complaints coming up from
many and widely-separated localities
bring pretty strong proof that the
sheep census needs still further reduo'
ton. Quite certain. it is that goodly
number of inferior animals yet remain
to consume the profits earned by their
superiors. Their mutton should be in
the shambfes as soon as it can be got
ready. When all that needs to be
done in this direction has been accom-
plished we may look for another pound
to be added to the average fleece. ant
ascore Of pounds increase in weight o
the average carcass. With this ad
vance let ns hope that the men who's
time has been spent in hunting fol
shadows may be induced to once mor'
turn their faces toward the light

Suggestions About OH Lamps.

The oil reservoir should be of metal. rather
than Of china or glass. Wicks should be
soft, not too tightly plated. Wicks should
be dried at the fire before being put into the
lamps, and should be only just long enough
to reach the potion of the oil reservoir.
They should be so wide that they quite fill
the wick-holder. without having to be
squeezed into it, and should be soaked with
oil before being lighted. The reservoir
should be quite filled with oil every time be-
fore using the lamp. The lamp should be
thoroughly clean, all oil should be carefully
wiped of, and all charred wick and dirt re-
moved before lighting. When the lamp is
lighted the wick should be at first turned
down, and then slowly raised. Lamps which
have no extinguishing apparatus should be
put out as follows: The wick should be
turned down until there is only a small. flick
ering flame, and sharp puff of breath
should then be sent across the top OF the
chimney, but not down it.

There were three men who had peculiarly

were Mcclellan, Sedgwick and Sheridan.
