INGALLS, ON THE RACE QUESTION.

Mr.. Ingalls, delivered his much talked
about reply to Mr.. Buffers resolution
and speech in the senate on the race
question on Thursday. The effort was
disappointing, not SO much in its subject
matter per Sc, as in its failure to meet
the issue raised, that of deporting the
colored race from the country. The
speech reminds us of the good old
preacher who "took his text and
preached from it," That there is very
much of truth in what the senator said
will not be denied, but will it help to
solve the vexed problem? The same
things, including the warning, have
been said from forum. pulpit and press
ceaselessly, almost daily, if not hourly,
for twenty odd years, and it has had
about as much effect as throwing peas
against a dry beef hide. The same
may be said of the solution Of
fered by the senator, that of giving
the colored people of the south justice.
Even the southern whites will indorse
that Fact is they defend their actions
and the policy pursued in this matter
from the standpoint of justice to all con-
cerned, and it is useless to talk about
justice as long as they believe no injus-
tice is done. When MIR. ingalls, idea on
this point is attained to, the world will
be in the midst of the millennium. We
fear the senator's effort was loves labor
lost, and in saying this we do not mean
to controvert single one of the many
statements of fact with which his ad-
dress abounds. We only question the
expediency of using them at time and
in connection where they can not but
be largely lost.

In concluding his very profound des-
sertation upon the personality of ex-
President Cleveland, anent his recent
interview with that distinguished citizen,
the good Doctor Munford says he was
more impressed than ever with his
depth of draught." Bless you, doctor,
that has been the trouble with him for
the past four years. His depth of
draught was so great that mis- party
found it impossible to tide him over,
and he got stuck in the mud, and it is

80 to 100 pounds and shear from five to
seven pounds of WOOL is the one that will
pay. In such a flock, ordinarily, we shall
raise 80 or 80 per cent of the lambs; the
wool will bring about S1.75 per head, and
the lambs s.. These returns may be eX-
poctod with only ordinary care and expense.
but much better results are often realized.
We often read Of spring lambs being sold as
high as $40 or Sl2, but where these figures
are reached it OF course means mnch more
care and great deal Of expense.
Many have made themselves rich by raising
the pure bloodel merino. but the amount is
row limited md every farmer could not
make it profitable Think many farmers
who have drittcd away from this industry
have made a mistake. Shecp and cattle are
well calculated to feed together on same
farm: would be less waste Of fodder where
both IRE kept than where either one, but
very many OF our farms are not adapted to
any other stock than sheep.

Sheep in the pen viii sometimes lose
their wool in large quantities and the
cause remain a deep mystery to the
owner. This comes from various
causes, and an Investigation of the con-
dition of the sheep Will be necessary 10
ascertain the difficulty Sometimes If
sheep have been in a poor condition and
are thriving quickly the change will
cause the wool to fall cut in quantities.
Again. if sheep are infested with YER
min. rot, pelt rot or sDab, they Will lose
their wool rapidly. For pelt rot and
scab there are various ointments recon
Inended. IL the sheep losing wool
should be dipped as early rs possible a
new growth VIII be encouraged on the
bare places. and viii perhaps prevent
further falling off in other places. Yer
min and scab are liable to get on the
sheep at this time OF the year any way,
and a great deal of care is required 10
prevent such diseases
Sheep are very peculiar as to their
tastes and the kind of food they eat, and
they viii never eat unsuitable food I'M
less it is the only alternative. If hunger
and starvation stare them in the face
they viii take up with almost anything,
but they viii never grow rapidly or take
on mich flesh under such unfavOrable
conditions. The feeder should cater to
their desires, especially during the un-
pleasant weather OF fall and winter,
when the sheep cannot select for them
selves. The most successful eastern
sheep feeders adopt the plan Of feeding
at least three times a day, and feeding
only such food as the sheep will eat up
clean.
Too liberal feeding is mistake in
several ways. There is a great deal OF
waste attendant on it, and the sheep do
not profit by an overabundance. y
small rack should be kept near the sheep
for hay, and fresh hay should be put i'll
il two or three times during the day,
See that the quantity is Just enough 10
satisfy the wants Of the sheep until the
next feeding hour Hay III the morning
without grain. fodder at noon and some
grain and hay for the evening meal l,
the best diet. Such regularity of feed
ing, supplemented by regularity of wa
Ter, will keep a flock in good condition
through the winter and prepare then
for rapid spring growth.
y word or two may be said about
roots for sheep. A good fattening fod
der for sheep must not be too watery
and hence too liberal supply of roots i.
not beneficial. 4 small quantity Of
roots is good for the sheep, and especial
ly potatoes, which furnish better ration
between water and dry matter thar
Otherwise to be obtained, Roots are no
only very watery, but ensilage also, ant
too much Of either one is not very goot
for the sheep. Yet in England the tur
nip plays an important part in making
mutton. 1t is not often, however, thu
one sees the floclrs injured by too liberia
use Of roots for feed, but on the con
tra1y they are not fed enough roots
The best advice is TO use Judgment il
using roots and erpdlage, and 10 sur
that the ration between such water,
food and Inc more solid foods Of grain
and hay is kept up.--E. p. Smith il
