SUCCESS WITH LAMBS.

IN the way OF advice in regard to
this matter, we will venture to say,
that in order 50 be successful N rais.
ing young lambs probably the first
requisite is to have your ewes In prime
condition. and the barn Or stable In
which the lambs ar, born, dry anC
warm. while during the Youngsters
early days ii is absolutely necessary
that they have an abundance OF sue
culent food, which can be given them
by way of feeding turnips, ruta- baGas,
mangels, or corn ensilage. They
should have a good place to forage in,
and probably none would suit better
than field planted with clover hay,
as clover is almost indispensable in
raising thrifty lambs AS grain ra
tion wheat, bran, linseed meal, bar
ley, oats, peas, or corn would all be
useful, but IT can be depended upon
that lambs will not go very heavy into
the grain if the forage is Of a high
quality. New York Witaess.

Those maintaining that such payments
should be kept up cannot fairly crticise

do so shows their dishonesty or

The assumption by Mr.. Cleveland that

incorrect. He is but Il single individual

many things which were formerly pur-
chased in the United States and Europe
are now being produced on Mexican soil.
In all candOr, after some examination of
the question on the ground, we must
confess ourselves unable to see that
Mexico is placed at any serious disadvan-
tage by her continued adherence 10 her
single silver standard. 1t is true that
the extremely high price If gold, as
measured in standard Mexican silver
money, adds much to the burdens of the
interest upon the foreign debt; but
Mexico is coming safely and soundly out
of her financial perpleXities OF few
years ago, and it would appear that she
has never enjoyed more prosperous times
than during the past year.
Even with oppressive duties on inn
ported goods the MeXicans are not seri-
ously inconvenienced. Many classes of
such goods can be purchased for silver in
Mexico cheaper than they can be purchas-
ed for gold in New York. The proof of
this is found in the frequent attempts to
smuggle such goods across the Rio
Grande into the United States. With
an abundance of money in the country
the MeXicans are happy and prosperous
and they do not want any change in their
monetary system.
The statements of this experienced
gold expert directly against his own in
terests are both interesting and nstruc-
tive. His testimony is valuable.
