Small Farm Flock OF Sheep.

|
find my flock of twenty-five coarse
wool grades very profitable, and would
hardly know how to farm without
them. In the summer or fall if the
pasture gets short, they are given a
small daily ration of grain. They have
daily access to salt and pure water the
year round.
The stable in which my sheep are
kept during the winter is fourteen by
forty feet. with a lott above for hay.
1t is built on one end Of the barn.
The managers for feeding hay and grain
are arranged on two sides, and about
%two-thirds the length Of the stable;
this gives plenty of room for the
sheep so there is no crowding. The
floor is first covered With dry straw to
the depth ii about six inches, this,
with the orts from the clover hay on
which the sheep are always fed during
the winter, makes a comfortable bed
which is always dry. The stable does
not have to be cleaned until spring,
when the contents can be drawn di-
rectly to the field where needed. The
sheep are fed night and morning as
much hay as they will eat up clean.
and are kept in the stable until 0 O
each day, when they are turned out
for the remainder of the day for ex-
ercise and to drink, unless the weather
should be very cold and stormy, in
which case they are only left out long
enough to get a drink at a nearby
we'll. Ii they show any symptoms Of
cold or catarrh, a small quantity of tar
is applied to the nose which soon
gives relief. AS my sheep are always
in good condition at the beginning of
winter, 40 grain is fed with the clover
hay.
AS DON as the ewes begin to drop
their lambs, generally about March l,
they arc placed i'll a separate and
warmer stable. where they are fed
grain twice q day, and given tepid
water to drink for a few days if
weather is cold. BY this treatment
the ewes and lambs both do we'll, and
seldom do any OF the lambs die. I
continue feeding the ewes a small ra-
them out to pasture in the spring. In
about week after the sheep are
sheared, if there are any ticks they
will all be on the lambs. The lambs
are then thoroughly dipped, which
kills every tick, so there is no more
trouble from this source during the
season. AS it takes only a couple of
hours to dip quite a large flock of
lambs, nothing pays better, because
no man who keeps sheep car afford to
raise ticks.-John Jackson, Of Michi-
gan, in Orange Judd Farmer.

Arrested After Nine Years

On the 23th day of April,
1890, Messrs. John King and Joe
Rawls had a difficulty in Pitt
county over mule. Both used
their pistols AMI both received
wounds, King being shot in the
hip and Rawls through The leg.
Kings wound was most serious
and he was never able to get up,
but died after a confinement of
several weeks. Rawls fled, and
though many attempts We're
made to capture him he eluded
arrest. In these nine years he
has been in all parts of the
country and whenever his where
abouts was discovered the effort
to arrest him was renewed.
1t turns out that he has been
living near Ahoskie, in Hertford
county, for four years under the
name of George Teel. Reports
say that he has worked once
during these nine years with
Chas. Broadway Rouss. of New
York, and has spent some time
in Oklahoma. A few days ago
Rawles was captured at Ahoskie
and carried to Greenville to be
tried for the killing of King.

The CRUISER
ALBANY.
Successfully Launched
by Armstrong in
England.
Great Crowd Happy Address
by Sir Andrew Noble----
Ame rlcans Proud--N e d
Not Blush to Be Of Anglo
Blood.

Newcastle. Eng, Jan IA
The United States cruiser Al
bany was successfully launched
Saturday afternoon in the pres,
ence of the United States Naval
Attache, Lieut.. Colwell, and
many other Americans.
The Albany was christened
by Mrs Colwell. Afterward
Sir Andrew Noble, vice chair
man of Sir w. @. Armstrong &
Co, Limited, proposed success
to the vessel and iii so d o1ng re
grctted the absence Of the Uni
ted States Charge d Affairs,
Henry White, who, however,
telegraphed wishing the Albany
a successful career as sister ship
of the New Orleans, which, Mr..
White added, has given great
satisfaction to her officers and
crew.
Sir Andrew Noble added that
it would be a pleasure tor the
whole country to know that the
vessel was built here for the I'm
tied States, "because everything
tending to closen the ties be-
tween Great Britain and the
United States must be source
of great pleasure to e! cry Eng
l1shman." Continuing the vice
Chairman remarked:
1.-The Americans must be
proud of the qualities exhibited
by their navy during the recent
ly closed war. These same
qualities OF pluck and dash the
British navy has invariably dis
played. The Americans con-
Quoted the war without any
theatrical display, waiting pa
tiently until their plans had
matured."
Lieut.. Colwell in responding,
said the guns On the New Or
leans were admittedly better
than any of the American guns
ard that the Am orleans were to
build their guns On the same
model.
Chairman Taylor, of the Am
erican Society, toasted the Els
wick builders. He said:
"Anericans need not blush
to be of Anglo Saxon blood.
When the American and British
nations are joined back to back
they can defy the world, and
blessing to civilization will be
assured"
The healths Of Messrs. Nor
ton & Gilmore. the inspectors of
the vessel while she is building
were also drunk.
The mayor of Newcastle was
among those present at the Ger
e emony.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Bench Warrant Case Heard
Before Judge PurneIl.

The Raleigh News & Obser>
yer of the 10Th, says: There
Was All interesting case heard
upon bench warrant before
Judge Purnell yesterday after
roon at $50 in the United States
Circuit court. For some years
there has been litigation in va
rious forms over large body OF
land constituting almost the en-
tire mainland OF Dare county
and Alligator River and the
Sound Proceedings are now
pending in the Uuited States
Circuit court for partition Of
the land. Some of the defend
ants, upon afidavits made by
H. T. Greenleaf and D. S. San
derlin, procured an order
from Judge Purnell for A. J.
Brown and others to show cause
why they should not be attach
ed for contempt i'll cutting tim
Der upon a certain part of the
land which the defendants
claimed belonged to them. The
respondents were adjudged not
to be in contempt. After the
hearing Mr.. Greenleaf, as he
claims by inadvertence, took a
certain deed attached to All affi>
davit with him to Elizabeth
City. When the deed was re-
turned, and compared with the
affidavit concerning the alleged
trespass upon the lands, the
complainant's counsel we're con
vinced that perjury had been
committed by Greenleaf and
Sanderlin in alleging that cer~
tain sherift's deed covered the
western end of a larger tract of
land known as the Pollock
Grant A bench warrant was
issued by Judge lurnell and the
matter heard before him yester>
day. Mr.. F. H. Busbee represent
ed the prosecution and Messrs.
Shepherd & Busbee and w.
D. Pruden the defendants.
After the conclusion of the
plaintiffs evidence the de-
Pendants decided to introduce
no testimony and after a very
brief argument his honor found
that there was probable cause
and bound the defendants over
to the next term of the United
States court at Elizabeth City
to answer the charge of perjury.

Good Roads.

Prof. ]. A. Holmes, OF North
Carolina, has written a letter on
good roads. in which he says
"Dirt roads are the most ex
pensive roads that can be used.
"Macadam roads, properly
constructed, are the most satis>
factory and the cheapest roads
yet disCovered.'
"Trained labor and com petent
engineering supervision are as
important in building public
roads as they ale in the building
OF railroads, or any other special
business.
"Convicts make cheap and
satisfactory road builders. and
every short~term convict IL
North Carolina ought to be at
work OH the public roads of the
State.
"Hi1ls and mud holes, both of
which are az oida ble, are the two
most expensive features about
the dirt roads.
All road work should be
done with a view to its perman-
ency. A poorly built macadem
road is largely a waste of time
and money.
Good roads are expensive,
but in the long run they are far
cheaper than bad roads.
"The bad roads in North Car
olina to-day cost her people in
labor and money but little less
than SIo,ooo,ooo a year, and
yet over two thirds OF the coun
ties in the State will refuse to
levy a small pittance Of a tax
for good roads, which would
help throw eff this terrible
burden.
"This enormous bad-road tax
is to day the biggest factor in
the industrial depression from
which our people are suffering.
II is as real a tax as any man
ever paid. 1t is he largest tax
