Oxford Mutton.

At the meeting of Ohio breeders a pa per was read ably advocating the Oxford breed of sheep. In the discussion fol. lowing it this statement was made: "Oxfords will clip about three pounds more wool here than in England. They have been bred for the purpose of SUD- plying very fat mutton for the miner and worl5ingmaa of England, and the aim of their inprover has been realized. They will eat the coarsest, toughest food and produce a quality of mutton that the workingman can afford to consume. The wool on the Oxford is of its own kind. It would not be good wool for the Shropshire or for the Southdown. And so far as mutton is concerned the South. down is the best of all breeds, and Southdown mutton cannot be had out side of that breed. Many Shropshire men are trying to get near the South, down type, and the nearer they approach it the better sheep they have"

JEALOUS OF UNCLE SAM. AMERICAN POLICY THE ENVY OF
 ENGLAND AND OF EUROPE"

What Protection Has Done for the United states-Debts of Various Nations Are Increased While Ours Decreases--Our splendid Financial Rating.
 There would seem to be no doubt as to where The London Times stands on the question of Protection and Free-trade. No pubic journal on either hemisphere has been or is now more pronounced in opposition to the one or in support of the other of these policies than has that recognized mouthpiece of British senti- ment. Hence the special significance of whatever that journal says on public questions. In discussing the condition of the United States, S shown by its financial and statistical reports in 1880, The Times said:
 "The finances of the United States may excite the envy not only of England, but of Europe"
 This extraordinary concession by the leading journal of England and the Old World was made twenty years after the abandonment of the policy of Free-trade and the adoption of Protection by the United States, of which period not less than ten years was covered by actual de- vastating civil war and severe financial embarrassment inevitable with such great struggle, and but one year after our government was enabled to under take payment of it's vast indebtedness.
 No country in history ever passed through experiences better calculated severely to test every quality of its finan- ci..l and business policy than did the United States during the twenty years preceding the utterance by The Times. The policy of Protection, if unfavorable to national prosperity, could not have conditions more favorable to the devel- opmcnt of such influence than Protection II here from 1861 to 1880. Hence The Times could not have more emphatically recognized the benefcent results of such p1licv than when it cited it as the "envy not only of England, but of Europe"
 Another feature of this case is the fact that at the outset of the rebellion The Times expressed most cOntemptuous es. innate of the financial condition and prospects of the United States. It re- irrred to report that Amsterdam capi- talists were investing in our bonds, that paper there stated that no money could be had in London on such securities, even at 50 per cent. on the dollar, the price paid in geld by the Dutch investors for 6 per cent bonds. Long before the year 1880 English capitalists were glad enough to get 3per cent, United States bonds at 100 cents on the dollar in gold. This fact alone fully justifies the esti' mate above quoted.
 As further warrant for The Times appreciation of American financial policy may be given the following statement of the national indebtedness of various European countries in 1865 and 1879 reIuced to gold standard), as compared with like statement for the United States in 1865 and lSSO-to wit:

 self against fences and trees in its efforts for relief, and it leaves wool and mites scattered along its way, and the next sheep that comes past there will get the infection.
 When wool from scabby sheep is sold and passes into the hands of the wool sorters, the mite attacks tbeir hands and produces wool sorters' itch. It is to be dreaded more than any other scourge of sheep breeders, except per haps dogs, and for this reason must be guarded against vigilantly. The mo- ment a sheep in a, flock is seen to be losing its wool and rubbing itself against posts and buildings, examine it at once, to see if there is not a scab where the rubbing and bare spots are. If so, sep arate it from the rest of the flock, and give it dip into mixture composed of four ounces of tobacco stems, or coarse tobacco, and one of sulphur, stirred and steeped thoroughly in gallon of boiling water. This should be the proportion, and the quantity used should be sufficient to cover the sheep all over except its head. The liquid should be hot when the animal is dipped, not less than i29 degs. Rub the scab entirely off with a corn cob or rough cloth. In two weeks repeat the dip and the animal will be cured.
 The loss from the scab mites to sheen raisers cannot be calculated. Some times whole fiocks are destroyed. AS a precautionary measure, many extensive sheep farmers practice dipping their fiocks twice year in sulphur and to. bacco decoction, once at shearing time and again in the fall.

vERMiN ON SHEEP. .
Small but Wicked Foes of the Sheep
 Raiser.

Raiser.
 Owing to their thick, warm fleeces, sheep are more subject to vermin than other animals. The three worst pests that trouble them are the sheep tick, sheep louse and scab mite. Illustrations of all three are given below, By far the worst is the scab mite. which Is some thing similar to the itch mite that at- tacks the hands of dirty people. Crozier says that if lock of wool from a scabby sheep is laid upon sheet of white paper there will be seen particles which look like moving dust. These are scab mites. They are terrible in their ravages. They burrow into the animals skin under the wool and set up a running sore. The sore becomes covered with scab, and the wool peels off. The itching is intol. erable. The suffering creature rubs it.

Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is med, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates.a according to Prof. Higard. will be found much better adapred to the purpose thnn either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance a the cultiva- ton of such crops In setting out trees, one pound per tree should he used,, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating The quantity used on old trees a, cording to the age Of the tree-tree , years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds.
