MUTTON AND WOOL.
Profit Only Found in a Combination of
These Qualities.

While there are many breeds of
sheep which are distinctly mutton or
wool breeds, there are others in which
the dividing line is not so sharply
drawn. 1t is true that the very best
mutton sheep do not grow the best
fleece, and the best wool sheep do not
give the best mutton. But it is quite
possible to get an animal that, with
fleece sufficiently good to pay for its
keep, will also produce mutton of
quality to satisfy the palates of the
most fastidious.
These objects are to be obtained by
cross breeding and proper handling
the two methods which, reduced to
science, have made English mutton the
only profitable branch of farming in
England. Cross-bred sheep may be
readily obtained by the crossing of
any of the improved breeds which
have done well in your section upon
the common sheep. This is really the
easiest part of the process. The diff
cult part is the proper handling. Our
sheep have cared for themselves so
long that it is hard for us to realize
that change is necessary. The inn
proved breeds have been made such
chiefly by liberal feeding of succulent
food and shelter from storms. This
care has been continued for so long a
period that it has entered into and al
tered their systems, replacing hardi-
ness of constitution with juiciness of
flesh. Neglect will cause the TO run
down and lose this most desirable
characteristics If will also affect tina
quality of the fleece, so that the care
less shepherd will feel the pinch on all
sides.-N. Y. World.

The captain told strange story.
Shortly after leaving Havana he found
himself on the edge of storm hnd
was driven out of his course on the
east Florida coast.
The greatest violence of the storm
wss in the upper air, but suddenly it
abated, and there was n scattering
shower of heavy objects from the sky.
AS these falling objects struck the
water most of them sank to the bot
tom, but some light articles foated
and were picked up by the sailors.
The Spanish captain brought some
of these curiosities ashore and took
them to the newspaper offices for ex-
hibition. Among them were several
caps and hats, such as were used in
the confederate and federal armies, a
plank, evidently from wagon, which
bore the letters &c. S. A." and anoth-
er piece of wood branded "U. S. A"
Then there was knapsack contain
ing letters which showed that the
owner was member of Barron's com
pany. An empty tin canteen was
labeled Billings"
The incident was narrated in the
New Orleans papers, and in due time
Black and the federal colonel got hold
of the story. Then they knew what
had become of their lost companies.
Did the tornado strike Barron and
Billings just as they had engaged in a
death grapple? Did the storm king
swoop down upon these foemen while
they were fighting a handto-hand
battle? Nobody will ever know. 1t
will always be mystery of the war
a secret of the storm. Wallace P.

FARM AND GARDEN.
FEEDING FOR PROFIT.
Some of the Ess sentials to Success in the
Raising of Stock.

Some of the Essentials to Success in the
Raising of Stock.
In order to make feeding of the stock
on the farm most profitable, every adj
vantage must be taken, not only in the
feeding, but in the management. The
kind of animal that is being fed will
make considerable difference in the
gain secured in proportion to the guam
tity of food consumed. A well-bred,
thrifty animal will make n much bet
ter gain in proportion to the food con-
sumed than an unthrifty scrub.
So, vigorous, thrifty, well-bred an
imal is one of the first essentials in
profitable stock feeding. The cost of
the food and care is the same, and the
difference in the price realized is that
much more profit with the better an
imal.
In order to make the most out of the
feed and the animal the feeding must
be regular. Animals will not and can
not thrive when their food is given to
them DISQUALIFICATION it happens to
suit the convenience of the feeder. Ir-
regular feeding disturbs and deranges
the organs of digestion. If the food is
given before the regular time the stom-
ach is overloaded or the organs put to
work before they have fully recovered
from disposing of the previous meal.
The work of digestion and assimilation
is imperfectly done, and there is loss
of food. If the feeding is delayed be-
yond the usual time, the animal gets
SO hungry that the food is eaten hur-
riedly, not properly masticated, and,
of course, cannot all be digested, and
more or less is lost.
Nature is regular in her work, and
if the waste in feeding is avoided the
animal must be supplied regularly.
Liberal feeding is another essential.
A certain quantity of food is necessary
to sustain animal life and repair the
daily waste of the system. 1t is only
from the food consumed over and
above this that profit can be derived.
Hence, other things being equal, the
most profitable animal is the one kept
at the maximum gain consistent with
good health and thrift. Generally the
appetite of the animal is the best
guide. Feed all that is eaten up clean,
but no more. When more is given it is
wasted.
There must be good variety of food
to keep the animal with a good appe-
tite and supply all the needs of sys-
TEN to secure the best gains at the
lowest cost. Feed variety of foods,
taking care to make up complete
ration. The more fully this is done
the better will be the gain in proper
ton to the food consumed. One other
essential is to have the food of good
quality. Good health is essential to
thrift, and this can only be maintained
when sound, nutritious food and pure
water are supplied. Poor or unwhole-
some food or impure water, while it
may not induce actual disease, pro-
duces at least an unhealthy condition
of the system that prevents the best
growth and thrift, and to that extent
lessons the profit.-St. Louis Repub-

She is kind-hearted friend, natural

To reporter she recently talked at some
length about DIR. Williams Pink Pills, CIV
ing some very interesting instances in her
own immediate knowledge of marvellous
cures, and the universal beneficence of the
remedy to those who had used it.
81 have reason to know" said Mrs. Nc
Donald, something of the worth of this
medicine, for it has been demonstratedin in my
own immediate family. My daughter Kit
tie is attending high school, and has never
been very strong since she began. sup
pose she studied hard and she has quite a
distance to go every day. When the small
pox broke out all of the school children had
to be vaccinated. j took her over to DIR.
Jameson and he vaccinated her. i never
saw such an arm in my life and the doctor
said he never did. She was broken out on
her shoulders and back and was just as sick
as she could be. To add to it all neuralgia
set in, and the poor child was in misery.
She is naturally of nervous temperament
and she suffered most awfully Even after
she recovered the neuralgia did not leave
her. Stormy days or days that were damp
or preceded storm, she could not go out at
all She was pale and thin, and had no ap.
petite.
81 have forgotten just who told me about
the Pink Pills, but got some for her and
they cured her right up. She has nice
color in her face, eats and sleeps we'll goes
to school every day, and is well and strong
in every particular. have never heard of
anything to build up the blood to compare
with Pink Pills. l shall always keep them
In the house and recommend them to my

Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are considered an unfailing specific in such
diseases as locomotor ataXia partial paraly-
sis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after
effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complexions, that tired feel

diseases resulting from vitiated humors in
the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysip'

troubles peculiar to females, such as sup
pressions, Irregularities, and all forms OF
weakness. In men they effect radical cure

Value OF Artesian Wells.

In many parts of the country artesian
wells may be bored and will furnish
running streams AT the surface. This
is due, of course, to the formation of
the under strata of the earth, and if
one is fortunate enough to strike
good vein the supply will be abundant.
In portions of the south artesian wells
have been bored to the depth of twelve
hundred feet. One of these wells was
finished in less than three weeks,
striking vein of water twelve hun
dred feet below the surface that fur
nishes an output sufficient for the
towns uses 1t is not an uncommon
occurrence that one must drill the
second time into a well to secure a
permanent supply of water, 1t is a
curious fact that after one has reached
certain depth piping is unnecessary.
A well in New York state was dug to
the depth of hundred and fifty feet
and furnished a reasonable supply of
water by pumping. After the second
season it gave out entirely, when the
drill was put in and nearly two hun
dred feet more were cut through be-
fore water was reached, for the first
hundred and fifty feet the pipe went
down, but after that the water rose
through the cut in the earth, there
being consistency and frmness enough
in the soil to make piping unnecessary.

IL is only fifty-two years since Hong
Kong was occupied, as Singapore had
been thirty-three years previously,
under the idea that it might be made
an emporium of trade. 1t was then
barren rock, To-day it contains a
quarter of million of inhabitants; it
is the entrepot of trade estimated at
forty million pounds, and there pass
through it annually some fourteen mil
lion tons of shipping. But the essen
tlal condition under which this prog
ress has been achieved, and under
which only it can be maintained, is abb
solute freedom of the port. If you tax
trade you drive it away, for the island
is only an entrepot. The trade is the
trade not of Hong Kong, but of the
south of China and Japan. 1t is be-
cause their trade is free, while Saigon
is heavily taxed, that Hong Kong has
beaten the latter as depot for the
trade even of French Indo-China.
Nine-tenths of the population are Chi

They are bankers, boatmen, domestic
servants, merchants, storekeepers and

ployed in the porterage of cargo and

AN ACT OF KINDNESS,
A Cup of Water Washes Away Enmity
Between the Blue and Gray.

Cup or water washes Away Enmity
Between the Blue and Gray.
An interesting war story comes to
light from an incident that occurred
at the battle of Antietam, which dem
onstrates that even the roar of cannon,
the shot and she'll, the crash of
musketry and the cold touch of the
bayonet cannot drive from the breast
of the soldier the spirit of kindness and
humanity.
This incident tells of the heroism and
kindness of confederate picket and
the grateful remembrance of a
wounded Yankee.
The battle of Antietam had been fin
ished for about thirty hours. The
soldiers of Lee and Mcclellan were
resting on their arms, after direful
conflict in which both sides had suf-
fered terribly, and on the battlefield
the dead and wounded were stretched
out by the thousands.

marching along his beat keeping vigil
over the sleeping army of northern
Virginia. Just out there were many

spairing cry. Water, water" that was
all that could be heard. The man who
gasped out those words was dying
slowly of thirst.
The picket resolved to carry water
to the wounded Yankee. Near by was
a spring, and quickly the picket filed
his canteen and returned to his post
The wounded soldier was still beg
ging for water, but the question was
how to get it to him. The picket knew
he took his life in his hands, but drop

out, and the soldier, quenching his
THIRST, thanked the boy in gray for his
kindness. The war was right over there
and then between those two fellows.
The picket then returned to his post
and the incident passed into the realm
of memory.
Thirty three years have passed since
that night, but the wounded Yankee
and the boy in gray are still in the
land of the living. That drink of
water saved the life of the wounded
soldier, and he has always been CRATE
full to the memory of the Johnny reb"
who gave him the cooling beverage on
the field of Antietam.
The federal soldier was Mr. B. L.

For years he has been trying to find
the name of the man who risked his
life to bring him drink of water, and
has at last succeeded Through some
chance he happened to write to Maj.

the incident, and a few days since
Maj. Pruitt, in talking with a friend,

Mr.. Burr was notified, and he and
Mr.. Norton have entered into regular
correspondence, giving each other
maps describing their ideas of how the
lines were that day, and everything
goes to prove that Mr.. Norton was the
soldier who carried the water to Mr..
Burr. Mr.. Norton had long since for
gotten the incident, but now remem-
