Now isabou; the time of year when
the annual wall regarding "unowned"
lambs commences. and | wish to say to
any of your readers who may have
wrongnknded sheep that disown their
offspring that there is a sure cure for it
and not patented.
The cure is to feed the eve plenty of
good hay and grain for at least two
months before she lambs.
1t eve has fat on her ribs and udders
full of milk she will own her lambs nine
ty-nine times out of a hundred, and this
remark. will hold good even with young
Merinos coming with lamb for the first
time.
Where many lambs come in the same
pen at the same time. young ewes fire.
quently get confused and lose their
lambs, but when Il system of marking
each lamb at birth and its mother with
the same mark is used, and a few stalls
are fitted up for hay. grain and water,
where tie eve and lamb can be confined
apart from the others. this difficulty
will be overcome.
When a eve disowns her lamb it is in
most every case because she has very
little milk, and nature teaches her to
look out for number one.
Many people do not realize when .
sheep is thin in the winter or spring,
simply because of the heavy covering of
wool that covers up sharp angles to
some degree, and think it doesn't need
much care and feed, but can get the prin-
cipal part Of its living as sort Of. all
around scavenger: but the fact is that
no animal will so quickly and surely
repay the thoughtful owner in cash for
his careful attention and liberal allow
ance Of the best water, hay and grain,
and no animal viii be poorer invest
ment than half starved sheep.
l, for one, never had any trouble in
lambink because my ewes were too fat.
once had the misfortune to fatten
for mutton fifty old Merino ewes that
had all taken the ram, although un-
knownto me. Iraised forty-nine lambs,
and the ewes were about as fat as corn
and alfalfa hay could make them at the
time they dropped, and l kept them SO
until green grass came, the lambs grow
ing meantime full as fast as they would
have done upon grass.
Nature very seldom makes mistake,
and q strong, healthy, fat eve will guard
her lamb as carefully as mother will
her child If man can't afford to feed
two sEsep well, let him keep but one

Tho Salary Too Small for Bots.

"When L. @. G. Lamar was made
secretary Of the interior, nearly every
young man who had known him in Mis-
sissippi went to Washington to get a
job" said II. F.. Cole, of Water Valley,
Miss. among the number was John
Youngblood, editor of the Oxford Globe,
who called at Mr.. Lamars office on the
9TH day of March, 1885. The secretary
was of course glad to see him. Young
blood had once been Mr.. Lamars pri-
vate secretary. He expected something
big, but a clerkship only was rendered
him, and this he declined.
"Ti,ne wore on, and Youngblood, in
common parlance. went broke Could
his old friend, Mr.. Lamar, let him have
ffty dollarss Mr.. Lamar could and did.
Two weeks more, could his old friend,
Colonel Lamar, let him have hundred
while he was waiting to be placed?
Again Mr.. Lamar could and did. A
month rolled by. Youngblood's board
bill was due. He had to live while wait
ing, and he knew no one else in Wash
ington except his old friend from Ok
ford. His board bill was settled. The
next day he called again and wanted to
be accommodated. He was.
"After Youngblood went out Mr..
Lamar turned to Colonel Muldrow, his
assistant, and said: See here, Henry,
Youngblood has got to get away from
Washington. Find some place for him.
Both of us can't live on IS, 900 year..
"The next morning Youngblood was
made superintendent of the Arizona
schools and was sent to Yuma, where he
later died."-St Louis Republic.

CHILD,s PLAY MEXICO.

In~yiOlent contrast with the fierceness
and ardor of French adversaries OH the
/ field Of honor is the duel reported from
Colima, Mexico. The age ofthe duelists
was respectively eleven and nine
years, and, of course, it was mere child's
play. Knives were the weapons, and
in the presence of four, the seconds,
these juvenile trifers carved each other
for the space of an hour or so. Clashes
and stabS from head to foot were mu-
,tually inflicted. until finally" says the
report, "a stab in the breast of LOPEZ
was made by his younger antagonist,
and the battle came to an end. Both
boys were carried from the field in an
unconscious condition, and LOPEZ will
probably die"
( Compare this childish affair with the
recent desperate encounter between the
fiery M. CLENIENCEAU and the terrible
II. DERoULEDE. 70 be sure, there was
no blood split in the latter contest, but
how much grander and more effective
were the preparations and the denoue-
ment. The heroic NJ. CLEMENCEAU's
friends wept on his neck, both before
and after the great event, and the fero-
ciouS NJ. DERoULEDE'S friends did the
same trick for him. And suppose either
Of them had lost his nerve and missed
his aim at the air! We shudder to think
what might have been the conse-
Quences, and this Mexican child's pl ay
comes as positive relief by contrast.

She had secreted needles about her one

of them, which she proceeded to Swal-

and she narrowly escaped death. AS
long as it was thought that her illness
was due to natural causes the British

The Nicaragua canal will be con-

The projectors, while claiming that the
government can do much 10 facilitate
the work by guaranteeing the bonds,
also assert that the enterprise will not
fail even il congress refuses to grant
their petition. The Nicaragua canal
will be finished within ten years. The
government of the United States seems
likely TO have great many complicated
questions 10 settle in connection with
the isthmus.-Buffalo Enquirer.
1t is quite possible that we may re.
gard ourselves as so much superior to
the French in public virtue that no such
scandals would be likely to arise in this
country under similar conditions and in
ducements. But there is little warrant
for the pharisalcal assumption. 1t
would not be possible for so stupendous
a job as the Nicaragua canal bill to pass
through congress except by the agencies
and influences Of corruption.-Ph

SENATORIAL ELECTiONs.

An amendment to the constitution is
pending in the senate of the United
States providing for the election of SEN
atorS on general ticket. 1t is not eX-
pectCd that it will receive the necessary
two-thirdS of the votes of that body. be-
cause there is more than one-third of
the members who have serious doubts
of their ability to secure a nomination
from representative convention Of
their party or an election by the people
if a nomination were secured. 1t is more
than doubtful whether the junior sena-
tor from this state would care to trust
his chances to such test; it is not at
all doubtful that, had the candidates
been nominated by convention and
elected by general ballot, he would not
have received the nomination. 1t is
equally certain that, If the proposed law
were now in force, the senior senator
from this state would not now be
harassed by doubt whether the declara-
lions of the state and county conven-
tons in his favor would not at the last
be set at naught and some one more an

that are vain" would succeed him.
That there is general demand for
this change is without doubt. Not only
is the press of the country, with hardly
an exception, in favor of it, but Califor-
mia made practical test of it at the last
election by submitting to the voters the
question. 1t may be fairly taken as
showing the sentiment of the country.
There were 1882 votes cast against the
change and 1S7,95S for it. The present
method finds its origin in that deep dis
trust Of the common people which char
acteriZed HAMILTON and the Federal.
lists. They removed the election of pres
ident as far as they could from the peo-
pie, though not as far as HAMILTON
wished, and they safeguarded the SEN
ate from the ignorant rabble as far as
possible. The groundlessness of their
distrust of the people has been demon
strated by over century OF trial, while
their confidence in the intelligence,
honesty and patriotism of the smaller,
selected body of legislators has similarly
been demonstrated to be mistaken. In
the case OF the presidential electors
their purpose has been entirely thwarted
so far as it expected to provide a small
body Of men, carefully chosen for their
fitness, who should deliberate and select
the president, while it only serves now
to defeat or endanger the popular will.

THE oRLEANIsT pRErENDER.

1t appears that the Duke of Orleans
has been summoned from his travels in
lndo-China to head royalist coup de
main i'll France. Indo-ChIna is a long
way from the French frontier, and we
should advise his duke5hip to think
twice before he rushes back. He will
be all out Of breath long before he
reaches Brussels, and he Will have his
hurry for his pains. He is not the man
on-horseback to ride over the wreck of
the French republic. In the first place.
there isn't going to be any wreck, and
in the second place this young BOBBY
couldn't manage a coup de main if he
had all the time and opportunity in the
world. He is mere boy in years, and
not very bright boy, either. He made
himself ridiculous few years ago by
rushing into France-which is forbid
den ground for Orleanist princes
and enlisting in the army. He was
promptly kicked out of both the army
and France, and he would better stay
out and enjoy life in Indo-China or Sen
egambia, or even the north pole, if he
prefers it. France wouldn't be healthy
for him.
