THIRTEEN AT DINNER-Concerning the

thirteen that discredited the superstition in
a remarkable manner. Himself on the point
Of starting TO China, he entertained twelve
friends who were bound for the Crlmea, to
encounter the per;ls of waras military officers
or as journalists reporting the incidents OF
the conflict. Deeming it IN the highest de-

on English ground when they had once
started for the scene of danger, the twelve
guests met their host with light hearts, and
laughed about the fate which some OF them
would of course encounter IN aiew months.


Strangely enough, al twelve returned from
war IN perfect health, and supped again at a

The late convention of stock breeders OF
Iowa adopted the following rules to regulate
differences arising between buyers and sellers:


In ease an animal is sold as a breeder.
or as having been bred, and should afterWard
prove TO have been barren at the time OF sale,
the purchaser may return the barren animal,
and shall therefor receive another OF equal
value


.. In cases where material mistakes which
affect the value of the animal are found IN
the pedigree Of an animal, not known at the
time of sale, the purchaser may return the
animal and demand the money as soon as
the same is discovered, if within one year.


3. Where warrant Is gwen on COW TO
be in calf TO a certain bull, and found not TO
be In calf, then the seller shall have the
privilege of getting the COW IN calf to the
same bull, if possible, and IN such case he
shall also pay interest 20 the purchaser on
the price Of the COW for the time lost to the
purchaser; if 1t Is not possible to get the COW
in calf TO the same bull, OF TO one equally ae-
ceptable TO the purchaser, then the seller
shall refund the money and take The cow

of a suitable age for breeding when Sod are

Wages is the true policy. Working on
shares superinduces an assumption OF
authority on the part Of the hands
which is highly detrimental to the in

Hands working for q part of the crop
seldom expect to realize anything more
than what they can eat and wear. and
all manner of persuasion and 'fusslng
cannot induce the same amount OF
energetic labor as the payment ofwages.
If our farmers will intelligently con-
slider this matter until the opening OF
another year, and then unanimously
adopt the system of wages, the first and
greatest step will be taken to make this
country what it should be.


The Republican Party in Louisiana.


(Baton Rouge Grand Era, Rep ]


II it is impossible to carry a purely
Republican ticket hereafter in the States
OF South Carolina, Mississippi aud
Louisiana, might there not be an alli-
anee with the Conservative native
whites who. tiriag of the dictation and
tyranny Of the Bourbon element. might
seek emancipation therefrom by unit
ing with the Republicans ? We believe
that the Conservative native white will
soon see the advantage of protecting
the black voter in all of his civil and
political rights, and then, after satisfy
ing him that he is honest In his inten'
ton, ask his cooperation. For such
reasons as these, and many others,
Southern Republicans should not be
too hasty in abandoning their party or
ganizations. At least, not just yet.

Many farmers have been annoyed


when selling their wool, to find that the


acute and practiced eye of the wool


buyer had detected the fact that the
sheep had been allowed to run down in
condition at some time during the
growth of the fleece. They are half in
clined to think that the buyer is mere
ly trying to appreciate the price. As a
matter of fact, there is nothing which
renders wool useless for certain kinds
of manufacture as unevenness or break
in continuity of the thickness of fiber;
and there is no defect more common, and
nothing that, year by year, touches the
sheep-grower more severely on that
tender part of his anatomy-the pocket.
However good the wool in all other re-
spects, the keen eye of the buyer sin
giles out the defective wool, and down
goes the price of it.. And it is not
mere fancy that regulates the prices,
for the uneven wool will break at the
weak places during the first process of
manufacture. Some persons suppose
that the unevenness of the fleece is here
ditary in certain animals, and per-
AdPo lhASlb OC LlldNl6 lGT6-
ditary by generations of ill-usage and
neglect.


But as the wool of an entire flock is
found to be uneven one year and not so
in another, it shows that management
has more to do with it than descent.
If sheep are allowed to get into a low
condition, are neglected, unfed, or not
sheltered properly, the pores of the
skin contract, and the wool that issues
will be of very fine fiber. As soon as
the animal RECEIVERS a vigorous condi-
ton the pores again open, and a longer
and stronger fiber grows. The wool is
thus weaker in one place than in places
at each side of it, and breaks at the
slightest strain. Nothing induces un-
evenness more easily and surely than
want of water. 1t is a common notion
that sheep can do without water or very
little. II supplied with roots daily
they will not want much water but il is
well and humane, too, that water should
be always within their reach. Not only
is it important that the fibers should be
even, but the fleece throughout should
be even as regards length, softness.
density and frmness.


THE best food for young turkeys is
eggs, boiled hard and chopped fine;
thick sour milk boiled, which makes a
thick curd; the whey is separated by
putting it into colander or coarse
sieve, and when cold rubbed hne in the
hands and fed to them in small parcels
and often. Indian meal, wet in the or
dinary way, is injurious to them until
they are several weeks. old. Chiyes cut
fine and mixed with their food is eaten
with great ayidity. In case of the
chicks appearing sickly and the feathers
rufied, indicating chill from severity
or change of weather, ground malt.
with little barley meal is allowed, and
by way of medicine powdered CARA
way or coriander seeds. Boiled meat
pulled into strings is valuable and nu-
tritious food for them. Water should
be given them in very shallow vessels,
in which they cannot wet themselves.
In order to prevent the mother turkey
from robbing the chicks of their food,
they should be fed in a separate coop
and at such distance from her as to be
out of her reach. 81

We doubt if the wretched nuisance of Utah
