SHEEP CULTURE.

The question Of sheep cuI-
ture is attracting the atten-
ton OF farmers throughout the
country, and many have in'
creased the size OF their floeks while
Others who have not heretofore en-
barked In that business are expert
menting now with bright promise oil
success. In these times OF uncertainty
OF crops and poor prices, farmers are
looking out for some means OF adding
to their income that will not require
much outlay, and sheep culture Is
suggested as one means tha'
promises success in this direction.
A farmer who has tried sheep rails
ing has given his experience and the
result at some length, and says one
is bound to succeed. The profits OF
the business are In the increase OF the
fiocks. 1t is here where the shepherd 3
good attention and kind care count
In dollars and cents. He further says
that the billy or rough farm is best
adapted for sheep pasture. A person
not accustomed to the care OF sheep
would be surprised to zee the Differ
ence in the fieeces Of the same breeds
pastured on high billy or low hat
land. Limestone soils, while Tor
many reasons peculiarly suited to
sheepraising, have tendency topro-
duce more harshness in wool than
that from sheep pastured on clay or
gravel soils. The sheep is the plant
scavenger OF the farm, through it's
dainty pibbling of heritage. We
might suppose its likes we're few and
dislikes many, yet every plant at
some period Of it's growth seems pal
atable. II sufficient number OF sheep
are kept on one field Tor any length
OF time every species OF bush and
briar is entirely destroyed. He thinks
that the the grade Southdown is best
for wool and early lambs; the fieeces
average seven pounds, the weight OF
lambs at birth being seven and one
half pounds. Cows and sheep, he says,
should have separate pastures In
summer. In winter sheep should have
dry, cold quarters, with a run in an
open shed. A warm stable that is
suited for COWS would be injurious to
sheep. At the birth OF a lamb care
should lie taken TO see that the weak
ly lamb has nourishment and dry
ieet; he will stand and thrive II the
quarters are cold. The butcher pays
fancy prices for the March lambs.
The rule is five sheep will eat as much
as one COW: one man will do the work !
OF caring for 100 sheep easier than
two men can care for 20 cows. Of ,
course sheep culture has its draw
backs to contend with, and mostly !
In this part Of the country from dogs,
yet farmers may form Is combination
against dogs that will soon free the
neignborhood from the worthless
ones, which are mostly TO be dreaded.
But our writer says there is another
thing to be looked after. He says
sheep are at all times subject to at
tacks of ticks. Wherever these ami
mails are kept there should be dip
ping tank ready for use at any time.
At shearing time the ticks leave the
sheep and pass to the lambs. The
lambs should then be dipped.
We submit this industry to our
farmers for consideration as to
Or not it could be made
profitable in a country where we
have such a fine range for sheep.

THE MANN LIQUOR LAWS.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Times-Dispatch sends that paper
the following
IL understand that number OF women
are conservators OF the peacein Virginia,
said a well known lawyer OF this city to-
day. "1he State has women notaries
public. and the Code OF Virginia empow
ers notafies to issue warrants. do not
believe Ii was intended that women
should have this power, but il seems they
have il. | wonder il all the courts OF the
State are going to hold with Judge J. W.
G. Blackstone, OF the Accomsc Circuit
Court, that the residence OF magistrate
In town constitutes police protection
within the contemplation OF the new liz
uor law and II magistrates, why not no.
taries, who have similar powers so lar
as issuing warrants are concerned IL
may very easily be the case that the sim
pie residence of little woman In town
will entitle the town TO liquor license,
though she be leading worker in the
local temperance society
We have not seen the decision OF
Judge Blackstone's in the case above
referred to, and of course do not know
it's extent, but il he declares that IA
magistrates residence in a town con-
stitutes adequate police protection
because he is conservator OF the
peace. it appears to us that 1t de-
strovs the effect of the Mann bill al
most entirely.
II the residence ola magistrate can
be declared sufficient protection be-
cause he lis a cOnseryator ofthe peace,
so could the residence OF any other
conservator OF the peace in a town
be considered proper police protec'
ton. and it is true, as stated in the
extract. the residence of a woman
notary in a town, although she is OPP
posed to license, might be the grounds
upon which liquor license could be
granted.
Conseryators OF the peace are nu-
merous and any one of them has n
right to issue a warrant and hear
evidence in certain cases, aud there
is scarcely a locality in the State
where the sale OF liquor would he
profitable that the residence ola con-
servator of the peace could not be
found or conservstor OF the peace
readily appointed.
Thefollowing are eonservators oithe
peace in Virginia: Every Judge
throughout the State. every justice
of peace, commissioner in chancery
and notary public. So we see that
there could scarcely be found
town or village in the State
where the residence OF a con-
servator of the peace may not be
found. and. according to the CORE
spondent above quoted, might be de-
clared proper police protection for
the community in the issuance OF II
cense for the sale OF liquor.
