PROFIT FROM SHEEP.

We give below an article on The
profits to be derived from raising
sheep which is well worth the at
tention of every farmer. Read it
and let your neighbor read it, and
keep it where you can read often
for there is money in it:
A subscriber from Goochland
County writes to The Southern Plant
er with the following information
as to his experiences in sheep keep
ING and breeding, and tbs of so ell
couraging a character that we here
give it as an incentive to others.
We wish to see more sheep kept
where, as apart from the actual
profit which may derived from the
flucks no animals on the farm so
quickly and permanently improve
it. He bought torty-one ewes,
with forty three lambs sucking, in
in The spring of 1888, for $1S4. He
sold, IN The same spring and sum
mer, lambs and wool 10 the amount
of $50, and killed and ate one lamb
worth 81. During the winter OF
1883 he lost five old ewes. In the
spring and summer 1889 he sold
from thirty-six ewes $lS3 worth OF
lambs and wool and lost five lambs,
which were killed by young mules.
lie has now on hand thlrty-siX
ewes, for which he has been offered
4 / 2 cents per pound. lie weigh
ed one of them few days ago ami
she drew 115 pounds, and he says
they will average 100 pounds each,
thus making their value $3.50 each,
or Sl62 for the flock. The sheep
have never had either corn or hay,
except during very severe weatbeF
during the winter. when they had
clover hay and a little corn for a
short period.
From an original outlay OF S1S4,
he has realized IN less than len
years $36S, dollars and still has on
hand worth 1852 Of sheep, either 10
breed from again or 10 sell for NUT
ton. Our friend remarks that the
sheep have paid hm better than
else on the farm, and we
can well believe this TO be true.
Why do not others follow this ex-
amples The markets for lamb,
mutton and wool are good, and
there is no danger OF oyer-stOcking
them. There is also this further
advantage, that in realizing profit
from sheep breeding aud feeding
you can do so whilst all the time

being troubled with many costly
leans and much labor. We have
known farms which, by constant
use as sheep farms. have improved

per acre, that have come TO carry
four or five sheep per acre the year

lam an honest trading mau;
keep little store
Where many take the easy plan
Of running up a score,
And say, when being dua2ed for TaT,
With much surprise and sorrow:
''Its not convenient. sir, today
Please call abound tomorrow"
Those people always want the best,
And wait it very quick;
They grumblc more than al thercst
Wio never buy on tick,
Yet, they, whea being danned fofpay,
Say with sO-nrise and sorow:
".fs not conven eut, sir, to day

Those humbugs have lofty air,
A d live in royal style,
And, judging by lie clothes they wear
They own golden pile
Yet, they, when being duuned jrpay,
Excaim in fright and so,row:
"It's not convenient, sir, to-day
Please call around to to'mOrrow"
The customers who buy for cash,
Have rights we should protect;
To pay for other peoples dash
They certainly object
Yet, they must do it anyway
When tradesmcn call tomorrow"
On sho@dy folks who never pay
Aud live on what they borrow"
To any honest trading man
Those frauds are all a bore,
And when they, cooler than a fan,
Walk gaily in store,
They should be treated in a way,
And told with little sorrow
Its not conveuot-'lil you pay
Please call around to morrow"

WHAT DOES CIVILIZATION
MEAN?

"in F. T." a writer in "Kate
Fields Washington says:
My early days were passed in the
wiIds of Arr,ca The playmates
of my childhood, the companions
Of my youth were the children OF
negro savages. All The civilization
| hal ever seen was that of our
own home. Urged by constrainlng
love, my father and mother had
chosen for their lile-work the task
OF civilinizing and educating those
barbarlans. The chief treasure of
our home was a carefully chosen
library. was not conscious Of the
changes that come in the literary
world, and thought that in that lit
lie collection of books was laid
away all the worlds wisdom. Next
10 pouring over those old works,
my greatest joy was to sit in The
sunset and listen to tales my pa
rents would tell of the far away
we stern world. More wonderful
they were to me than those OF the
Arabian Nights,
With awed wonder | heard how
the news Of the world was gather
cd and every day placed at the
door Of even the poor; of how
stoam worked with noisy cheerful
ness IN the factory or on the iron
roads; of how the electric flash
was caught aud famed 10 do its
work OF arnihilaling time and dis
tance.
Iheard how woman WAS respect
ed; was told that she was treated
as mans equal, tenderly protected
because weaker, revered because
purer; in all things deferred to,
because she was queen aud all men
were her knights.
One day there came a stranger
TO our town. lie was white, an
American, and his visit was the
event of my life. Even my father,
whose wisdom | thought perfect,
was astonished as he listened TO
the story of the progr SIS our era
had made in science and in ant.
The powers that were in their in
fancy when We had left The world
had developed into strong giants
whose single stride would cover
halt the globe. But TO me the
greatest fascination was in the
thought of the patriotism and uni
ty OF naiiOns-lhat vast empires
lived up to one aim, the highest
good to the greatest number.
The time came when my dearest
wish was fulfilled was to see for
my self the civilization of the west
You that have always dwelt in the
hum OF The worlds voices can new
er know what that meant for ne.
When | saw for the first time most
common OF all things, a daily pa

me il il seemed a miniature ency
