SHEEP RAISING.

From a recent issue of the Whining
ton Star we clip the following article
and commend it to the serious consid-
Grafton of our readers:
"Sheep raising might become pro-
fitable industry in the south if men
could engage in it with any assurance
of safety to their focks. Some farm
ers who appreciate the inducements
to engage in it have ventured upon it,
but after trying it for awhile they
found the obstacles in the shape of
prowling dogs so difficult to overcome
that many of them have ceased trying,
and others contented themselves with
few sheep who would have large
flocks if there were any protection for
them. This is about the situation in
every southern state where an attempt
has been made to enter upon this in
dustry, except Texas, where men make
speciality of the business and have
flocks large enough to justify the en-
ployment of herders to guard and
take care of them. Northern farmers
who travel through the south and do
not know the reason for it, are sur
prised at the few sheep they see on the
farms. In referring to this, and to the
inducements held out for profit in that
industry, the Atlanta Journal says:
experts in sheep husbandry who
haye visited Georgia and seen how
sheep thrive and increase here where
they can be protected from dogs ex-
press their surprise that dog law has
not long ago been passed in this state.
They see that great industry, one
which could be made under fair con-
ditions to pay handsomely is made al
most impossible by a stupid policy
which is due to the fact that our state
lawmakers have not the courage TO
vote for dog law. Most of them are
afraid of the clamor against tax on the
poor mans dog. Except in very rare
cases the poor mans dog is burden
on his owner as we'll as nuisance to
others and his abolition would be a
benefit all around. There is no sense,
reason or justice in permitting an un-
limited and increasing number of
worthless dogs to prowl at will in
Georgia and prevent the growth of
the sheep industry. We hope to see
legislature in this state soon which
will take hold of this question and
settle it in the right way"
As in Georgia so in North Carolina
and all the other southern states as
far as known. 1t would be easier to
secure the passage of a law requiring
every man who undertook to raise
sheep to slaughter one or two a week
to feed his neighbors' dogs than to Sc
cure the passage of an effective law to
reduce the number of dogs and pro-
tect the sheep, and the reason is, we
suppose, that there is only one sheep
owner to a hundred dog-owners ballot
fingers. The only way we see to
manage this business without asking
impossible favors from legislators is
for men who want to raise sheep to Or
ganize protection societies of their
own, and try the virtue Of strychnine
and other simple remedies for putting
dogs to rest when they venture too
far from home and take unwarranted
liberties with sheep they happen to

it is water.soaked or not. There is no
practice more general and none which
destroys the very life of the land more
quickly than the method of blowing
the land for spring crops when the
water gathers in the bottom of the
furrow after the plow has passed.
The tenantry system has led the
renter into the very reprehensible
practice of plowing for crops so early
that the furrow slices glisten in the
sun, and when a handful of the up
turned soil can be compressed in the
palm of the hand like piece of putty.
1t is in this way that very good clay
uplands are so badly injured in a sim
gle season that years of clover seeding
are needed to restore them. The clods
formed beneath the hoofs of animals
and by too wet plowing are more in
furious than the excessive cropping
without clovering which is so common
in the oldest-settled South Atlantic
states.-Orange Judd Farmer.

COMMENCE TO-DAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one of the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, it is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILIiE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent. of
the families in the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the inconvcn-
ience Of writing letters. sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecially desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services of large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make II
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of q single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to a clubmaker !;
but sends it direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay u.s. Now to our
PROPOSITIONS:

THE POTATOES NUTRlMENT.
The Tuber Is Richest When Cooked Will
the Jacket On.

|
the Jacket On.
Philadelphia Record.
The Irish cotter, who has for hun
dreds of years popped his potatoes
into boiling water with their jackets
on, is on unconscious scientist, and is
preparing his homely meal upon the
most approved hygienic and dietetic
principles, and obtaining the highest
possible degree of nutriment.
Experiments made by the agricultu-
raj department show that potatoes
peeled and soaked before boiling lose
from 46 to So per cent. of nitrogenous
matter, 25 per cent. of albuminoids
and 38 per cent. of mineral matters ;
when peeled, placed at once in cold
water and raised to a boil the loss of
nitrogenous matter was 16 per cent,
of which albuminoids form nearly half,
and 10 per cent. of mineral matters !;
when peeled and thrown into boiling
water the latter losses are reduced
one-half, and when unpee!ed and
placed in boiling water the loss was
but l per cent. of nitrogenous and 8
per cent. of mineral matters, the diff
ference in nutritive values between a
bushel of potatoes peeled and soaked
and bushel boiled in the Irish fashion
being equal to a pound of sirloin
steak. The character Of the water
used makes no difference in the nutri-
tive qualities.
A series of experiments with car
rots embraced the same varieties of
waters in which, both cold and boil
ing, the vegetables were placed, after
being cut into fine, medium-sized and
large pieces. The quality of water
made no difference in the result, but
the loss of nutritive matter was small
est in the large pieces, the small pieces
showing loss of 40 per cent. of nitro.
gen and 26 of sugar, equal to pound
of sugar per bushel; the loss in the
large pieces being, nitrogen 20 and
sugar Is per cent, the total nutritive
loss being in the small pieces 80 and on
the large 20 per cent.
Other experiments with cabbage
showed that large part of the nutri-
tive elements of this vegetable is ex-
tracted by boiling, which may account
for the fondness of the European
peasantry and the southern Negro for
cabbage soup, or "pot liquor" Of the
y pounds of dry matter contained in
100 pounds of raw cabbage from % to
3 pounds are lost in cooking, loss
which seems unavoidable "unless the
water in which it is boiled is also used" "
The digestibiity of eggs was also in
quired into. They were boiled for 8, 5,
10 and 20 minutes at temperatures
ranging from $50 to 2l2 degrees, the
experiments showing that, "while it
seems probably that the method of
cooking has some effect upon the rate
of digestibility, it does not materially
affect the total digestibility."

INJURING TILLABLE LAND.-Tram-

too early in the spring will easily ruin
tillable land. Both practices are by
far too common. 1t is the custom of

latest crops are gathered, and even

p1~ Recently two gentlemen, driving
along in wagonette, were smoking,
when spark falling from one of their
cigars set fire to some straw at the bot

who had for sometime been following
them on horseback, alighted to assist

CHANGING HIS IDENTITY. - An
amusing incident is related to have oc-
Cured on the steamer Dexter, on a
recent trip down the river. Just be-
low Vicksburg family got on board,
en- route for Texas. During the after
noon the pater familias concluded he
would enjoy the luxury of a good
shave, shampooing, etc., and for this
purpose applied to the tonsorial artist
of the steamer. The luxury was
speedily supplied him and, at his re-
quest, hair, eyebrows and whiskers
were converted from fiery red to ra-
ven blackness, by the use of the ar
lists dye. The traveller was hugely
pleased at the idea of surprising his
wife at the transformation, and hur-
ried to demand the price. Imagine
his indignation when he was called
upon to forfeit ten dollars. He swore
he would never pay it, and hurried to
his stateroom, to buckle on his de-
fensive armor. But he was met at the
door by his spouse, outraged by the
intrusion of stranger, as she sup
posed, and admittance refused. He
called himself her husband-she said
he was an impostor. He attempted
to explain. 1t was useless. A crowd
gathered around, and the laugh be-
came general. At last, in his perplex-
ity, the Hoosier exclaimed
"Sallie, look at my feetn'
