Success in a business enterprise is not al
ways due to low prices. 1t must have some
thing else to recommend it or make dismal
failure. Although the prices charged by Drs
Rector & Uhle, the Albany dentists, are re-
markably low, one reason for their success in
establishing the largest dental practice in
Bridgeport lies in the quality of their work.
Drs Rector & Uhle have combined expert
ence of over 20 years in the practice of dem
tistry and they give each operation their per-
sonal attention, therefore success is assured.
They have secured a FOUR years lease OF their
Office No 3ss Main street and will soon have
it enlarged and refitted in order to accommo
date their increasing patronage.

10 protect the negro in the exercise of
his political rights, might not the nation
withdraw those rights themselves, alter
ing the constitution so as to permit States
to discriminate against citizens on the
ground of color? 1t might; but no one
suppOses for a moment that it ever will
not only because the feeling against such
Il change in the constitution would be
highly unpopular, but because even those
who might desire it for political reasons
would think it unadvisable on social
grounds as tending to degrade the color
ed man, purely and simply las "a colored
man, below the rest of the community.
The same objection would not, however,
apply to II scheme which should exclude
from the suffrage the ignorant mass of
negro population, not on the ground of
color, but by the action of an education
al qualification. There is nothing in the
federal constitution to forbid the enact
ment OF such provision, which actual
ly exists in Il few of the Northern States
already (though it does nor seem to be
rigidiy enforced). Each State is perfect
ly free to restrict the electoral franchise
III any way it pleases, SO long as the re-
striction is not based on trace, color, or
previous condition of servtude. . Prof

self against fences and trees in its efforts
for relief, and it leaves wool and mites
scattered along its way, and tho next
sheep that comes past there will get the
infection.
When wool from a scabby sheep is
sold and passes into the hands of the
wool sorters, the mite attacks their
hands and produces wool sorters' itch.
1t 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 aud rubbing itself against
posts and buildings, examine it at once,
to see if there is not scab where the
rubbing and bare spots are. If so, sep
arato it from tho rest of the flock, and
give it q dip into a mixture composed Of
four ounces of tobacco stems, or coarse
tobacco, and one Of sulphur, stirred and
stepped 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 1870
dega- Rub the scab entirely off with
corn cob or rough cloth. In two weeks
repeat tho dip and the animal Will he
cured.
The loss from the scab mites to sheep
raiscrs cannot be calculated. Some
times whole hoclzs are destroyed. AS Il
precautionary measure, many extensive
sheep farmers practice dipping their
focks twice 4 year in a sulphur and to-
bacco decocnon, once at shearing time
and again in the fall.

The advantages Of winter dairying

her prOdnct il worth most, when hired
help is cheapest ana you have more time
to devote to her welfare. 1t Is well
known fact that milk IS richer in butter

otner time III the year. Ny cows, elat
were making one pound of butter 70
every twentyfour pounds of milk in May
and June, are now producing the pound
