"our Boys" to the Bat.

"Our Boys" is the name OF base
ball club recently organized from the
Friendship Fire Company. They sent
challenge to the Railroad Juniors to
play match game few days ago. The
Juniors said that they (the Boys) could
not play ball. The secretary Immediate
ly wrote to the Juniors to come and learn
them, but no reply has been received
yet. Some sharp corresponding is
likely to follow, but not much ball play-
ing until the mud dries up.

1t is not to be supposed that the sheep
business, like any other. may not be
overdone. lime and agAin it has been
demonstrated that sheep husbandry is
one of the easiest business to overdO.
Sheep breed very rapidly, and fleece
and good mutton carcass are developed
the Fl rsu year. But even If sheep were
less prolific and development less
rapid, and there should not be 8
general rush to go into sheep.rais'
ing, it is possible for the individual to GO
into the business and undertake to &C
complish more than he has the facilities
or the tact and Judgment to accomplish
and thus overwhelm himself in financial
ruin. ! hereis a tendency in weak human
nature to do this. But let every one act
with due deliberation and judgment and
go into raising sheep in moderate way
and no such disaster would follow. Let
every one keep few sheep. instead OF
going out of other business to make this
his sole relauce-let him even dispose
Ct some of his poorer cows, il he is en-
gagged in dairying, and put six or eight
sheep in the place of each poor COW dis
posed of-and not only will disaster be
avoided but an addition to the net profits
Of the farm will be realized By such q
course the business will not be likely
to be individually or generally over
done. On every farm, whether there be
a reduction in other lines Of farming oil
not, few sheep can be kept to advan
tage. And this is what we want to see
sheep on every farm and no one over
run and endangered by keeping too many
The few on each farm that can surely bt
kept at a profit, under almost any circum
stances. would make large aggregate
while vast increase would be made to the
wool and mutton production of the coun'
try. There would be a general dissent
nation Of the profits and advantages
and while disaster would be to a reason
able degree avoided, losses would be
lighter. if any should occur, and they
would be divided among all and easily
borne without entailing serious suffering
on any. A medium course and moder
ate investments in sheep husbandry
would be wise policy to pursue.-Mir'

Guns have lately been built longer in
order to get the full advantage of the slow
burning powder which is now being used.
This combination Of longer gun and slower
powder gives Il higher velocity, which
means in effect not only a longer range
but also greater penetrative power and de
structive energy on the part of the shot.
With the old powder the shot received
merely a sharp, short biow-that is to say,
the powder suddenly produced very high
pressure, which fell as soon as the shot
commenced its movement-and had long
gun been employed, the result would
really have been "A diminution of velocity.
With the slow burning powder high
pressure in the bore can be maintained for

Upprofita bic Plowiog.

There are two reasons for plowing -
the need of buryiug surface growth
of sod under the soil, where it will decay
and add its elements to the general stock
of plant food, and the need of tighten
ing the soil so that the air and sunlight
can pe.meate it and make available the
plant food already there. The mechan-
ical moving of the soil is designed to
accomplish these results and secure a
proper seedbed for the crops to be
raised. But plowing at its best
is slow, laborious, and expensive. la
the inversion of the sod the plow-
share is the only available agent so far.
There is serious glound for question
whether farmers as a whole de not rely
far too much upon this implement in the
preparation of their land. When field
has been planted for one season, and the
crop given clean culture so that no weed
growth is lea in the fall, it ought to be
put into first class condition for sowing
either then or in the following spring by
the use Of one of the modern cultlvators
or harrows, constructed with the disc or
c,itaway. Old land that is properly
drained ought to work up into perfect
seedbed by such treatment, being stirred
as deeply as it would be by the plOw
and pulverized much more finely. As a
matter of fact the plow does not break
up and pulvetize the soil as much as is
desirable, unless narrow furrow is
made. The tendency of most shares is
to throw the earth bodily from one posi-
ton TO another With one of the har
rows mentioned the soil is thoroughly
stirred, pulverized, and lightened to as
great depth as one may desire, and at
AN expense for labor that is trifling COM
pared with the operation of plowing.
The natural objection TO such course
on the part of many would be that old
land is often more or less covered with
grass and weeds after the crop is re-
moved. There is the rub. Poor farm
ing one season necessitates increased
labor in the following. Not only did
those weeds help to exhaust the land
rob and crowd the growing crop, but
they also make it necessary to plow the
field for the next crop, SO that their tops
ard roots may be gouen out of the way.
Clean culture will obviate this difficulty
and pay well, not only in the subsequent
care Of the land buu i" the increased
crops that tfollow.-Maine Correspondent
of American agriculturist.
