Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1891-11-13

The american Wool Reporter sees the
solution of the deserted farm problem in
New England in the rising of sheep.
"Many of these deserted FARMS" it says,
"can be bought from So to SIS per acre,
and there are clusters of them where 1000
or more acres can be secured in a body.
These farms can be stocked with grade
Shropshires aud Southdowns costing at
from S. to SS per head, but these breeds
of course should not be run in focks of
more than thirty to forty head each. We
have recommended Shropshires and
Southdowns because of their superior
mutton qualities, and because they are
hardy and early to develop. The Hamp-
shiredown will also please, perhaps
equally as we'll, and furnish most tooth
some mutton. The New England muttoh
raiser is not only favored with sweet feed
among the limestone and granite ledges
and in the green valley of his domain,
but is also additionally favored by close
proximity to the best markets in the
country, where early lambs need never
to hunt buyer and where prices for
prime mutton are always good"

Pigeons in journalism.

The Edinburgh evening papers have
trained service of carrier pigeons tor use
at race meetings, football or cricket
matches, shooting competitions, etc., and
in out-of- the-way districts where there
is no telegraph or telephone within easy
reach they are often very useful.
They are housed in quarters specially
erected for them on the fat roof of the
office, the dovecote including an ingen-
ious trap arrangement and electric bell.
When reporter desires to use the
pigeons he leaves word the night before
with the person in charge of them. This
is very necessary. When they are to fly
far on any particular business it is better
that they should be only lightly fed in
the morning. The pigeons-two or four,
as may be required-are caught in the
morning and placed in comfortable
wicker or tin basket, like a small lunch
con basket, with compartments. The
reporter, when he leaves the office, car
ries the basket with him. He also pro-
vides himself with book of fine tissue
paper, "Himsy." and sheet of carbon
lied paper, ga black" He writes his
report very legibly and compactly, SO as
to put as much on page of "fimsy" as
it will possibly hold. Then he rolls the
"fimsy'' neatly up and attaches it to
the leg of the bird by means of an elastic
band. Or he may send two pages OF
"Himsy," one on each leg. The pigeon,
being released, makes straight for home.

, A steamboat line will begin running in
a few weeks between Chattanooga,
Tenn, and St. Louis, Mo. The business
snen of Chattanooga are delighted at the
prospect, which means a reduction in
freights to that point. Within fifteen
days $1,000 each were subscribed by 10Y
of Chattanooga's citizens as a guarantee
FUND. The trip of the steamer Herbert
a few months since over the same route,
made in the interest of Chattanooga
merchants, demonstrated the entire feast
bility of the scheme, as the Mussel Shoal
Canal made the worst part of the river
navigable, and below that the voyage
was perfectly easy.

Sidewalk Rope Balancing.

The sidewalks in Havana, Cuba, are
usually about one foot wide. You bal
ance yourself on the curbstone and walk
along as though walking on q pole fence.
About every second person you meet is
a colored woman, with big laundry
basket on her head. At first it is little
awkward, but before you have been here
long you get so tnat you can pass the
laundry woman without knocking the
basket off her head, and, if you stay
long enough, you could get job in most
any circus as a rope walker. On the
principal streets the sidewalks are little
better. but two feet and half is con-
sidered very wide sidewalk.-Ne@
