Sheep Raising.

Too many stockmen nowadays lack
courage. TO face adversely bravely.
Years ago many wanted buyers for
their sheep at any price. Now some
OF the same parties are buying sheep
at very high figures. The same per-
sons probably sold cattle. hogs or
horses too at n sacrifice in order TO
get into the sheep business again.
The woolly tribe is paying its way
handsomely in recent years. and fol-
lowing tho common inclination all
wish to rush into this line o; work
and. of course they will break it
down. The Young man who has a
special adaptation for sheep breeding
is fortunate TO be able to begin at this
time; but he is apt 10 be tempted TO
try some other kind Of stock wher

En Ices Make sInnnH.

The question is asked over and over
again. DO bees make honey. or do
they only gather it?" II they make
it they must make it from something
from the material which they
gather-as cows make milk. There
is a peculiar odor and flavor about
honey which one W. finds in the
flavor impaired by the plant may be
sufficiently marked to indicate its
source. The same is true OF milk. and
vet milk is a very much modified pro-
duct OF the food from which it is
elaborated. We are therefore much
inclined TO believe that the bees do
somewhat modify tho material which
they gather from natural sources ana
impart to it what We may call
a bee flavor and odOr not
withstanding when fed artliic-
tally they deposit undigested
as it we're in the comb. the raw
material as they find it Or but slightly
modified. But the organs of the bees
are not suited to the extensive clabor-
alton OF nectar into honey as those OF
the COW are the elaboration of food
into milk. The process is much more
direct and there is reason to believe
that the rapidly it is carried on.
the less the vital forces OF the bees
are capable OF imparting to the pro-
duct the real bee flavor. while there
are certain peculiarities of the
materials with which they deal over
which they have no control. We are
aware that these views are not en-
actly in accord with the generally ac-
cepted idea and throw them nj for
the purpose of stimulating a little
more observation and thought OF the
subject Mirror and Farmer.

SPECIAL REQUESTS ON ENvELoFs.
Bill to Take Uncle Sam out of Com

A Bill to Take Uncle Sam out of Com
petition with Printers.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Congressman
Owen Scott, of Illinois. will introduce a
bill in congress to prohibit Uncle Sam from
printing special request envelopes. and
thus interfering with the business of pri-
vate printers These envelopes contain the
customary return directions and in many
cases form n neat little business card in
the upper left hand corner of the envelope
The act which authorizes the printing of
these envelopes by the government pro-
hibits the printing of business advertise
nent or anything more than is absolutely
necessary for an adequate return notice.
The Competition Unfair.
But by merging the business and adj
dress into the title of the firm the legal OBJ
stacle is overcome, and Uncle Sam really
engages in the business of turning out en-
velopes in direct competition with all the
job printing offices in the country. Con-
gresham Scott further claims that Uncle
Gam is an unfair competitor because he
prints them at the actual cost of putting
out ordinary stamped envelopes, and while
gaining no profit for the government robs
the printer of his living profits.
A Monopoly in Envelopes.
These envelopes are not printed at the
pcstofnce department. but for ten wears

past the contract has been let out to firm
at Hartford. The business has steadily in
creased since 1865, until last year the gov
ernment put out PSI, AS, 500 of these special
request envelopes, which was more than
half of all the stamped envelopes sold.
Congressman Scott will oppose the post
master generals cheap postage bill which
provides for free envelopes and gives Uncle
Sam a monopoly of the envelope trade.
