Meat by Way of New Orleans.

The beef raisers of the southwest are
to make the experiment of shipping their
product to England by way Of New Or
leans, instead of sending it overland to
Chicago, New York and Boston. A
dressed beef company at Fort Worth,
Tex. has arranged with an ice company
at New Orleans and a trading associa-
ton in London for the refrigeration and
shipment in large steamships to England
of 600 tons of dressed beef semi-monthly.
The saving in freight to New Orleans, in
comparison with the overland route Of
1900 miles. will be $12 per ton.-Field

Winter Care of Sheen.

Sheep in tho pen will 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 to
ascertain the difficulty. Sometimes if
sheep have been in a poor condition and
are thriving quickly the change will
cause the wool to fall out in quantities.
Again, if sheep are infested with YER
min, rot, pelt rot Or scab, they will lose
their wool rapidly. For pelt rot and
scab there are various ointments recon-
mended. If the sheep losing wool
should be dipped as early as possible a
new growth will be encouraged on the
bare places, and will perhaps prevent
further falling off in other places. Yer
min and scab are liable to get Oh the
sheep at this time of the year any way,
and a great deal of care is required to
prevent such diseases.
Sheep are very peculiar as to their
tastes and the kind of food they eat, and
they will never eat unsuitable food un-
less it is the only alternative. If hunger
and starvation stare them in the face
they will take up with almost anything,
but they will never grow rapidly or take
on much flesh under such unfavorable
conditions. The feeder should cater to
their desires, especially during the I'M
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 a mistake in
several ways. There is a great deal Of
waste attendant on it, and the sheep do
not profit by an overabundance. A
small rack should be kept near the sheep
for hay, and fresh hay should be put in
it two or three times during the day.
See that the quantity is just enough to
satisfy the wants Of the sheep until the
next feeding hour. Hay in the morning
without grain, fodder at noon and some
grain and hay for the evening meal is
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 them
for rapid spring growth.
A word OF two may be said about
roots for sheep. A good %fattening fod-
der for sheep must not be too watery,
and hence a too liberal supply Of roots is
not beneficial. A small quantity of
roots is good for the sheep, and especial
ly potatoes, which furnish a better ration
between water and dry matter than
otherwise to be obtained. Roots are not
only very watery, but ensilage also, and
too much of either one is not very good
for the sheep. Yet in England the tur-
nip plays an important part in making
mutton. It is not often, however, that
n sees the focks injured by too liberal
a use of roots for feed, but on the con-
trary they are not fed enough roots.
The best advice is to use Judgment in
using roots and ensilage, and be sure
that the ration between such watery
food and the more solid foods of grain
and hay is kept up.--E. P. Smith in
American C%ultivator.

The Attorney Generals Brief in the Cases
Soon to BE Heard.
At the October term of the Supreme Court
the cases Of the United States against John L.
Rapier and George W. Dupre will come up.
Both indictments we're for mailing newspapers
containing an advertisement OF the Louisiana
lottery, the cases having been appealed
to tho Supreme Court ON judgments
against the defendant. The brief pre-
pared by Attorney General Miller
in the cases has been given out and in it the
lottery receives a severe scoring. Says the
Attorney General: "The revenues poured into
the Golfers Of the Louisiana Lottery Company
by its witiess victims are too large to be
surrendered without another struggle. A
very. small per cent Of these revenues suf-
fees to pay for making a new contest.
Accordingly, nothing daunted by the fact that
this nefarious scheme is under the ban Of
public opinion, OF legislative enactment and Of
Judicial decision, the most eminent counsel in
the Land are here, making Q very astute, but,
as l think, very sophistical presentation Of a
bad case"
Regarding the proposition of the rights of
Congress III the matter the brief saws 81
maintain without fear of successful contradic-
ton that whatever acts or enterprises Con-
gress has the power to make criminal in the
District Of Columbia or the territories. il NAV
refuse, directly or indirectly, to aid. encourage
or abet in any state without violating any OBJ
legation either to citizen or state
In regard to the alleged abridgment Of the
freedom Of the press in the cases of lottery ad-
refreshments Attorney General Miller saws:
1.-The first amendment to the Constitution no
more requires Congress to provide for the
carrying OF the literature of the lottery COM
pany in the mails than it requires Congress to
provide by law for printing such literature"
