HUMOROUS*
Did Hot Wear Books. ]
Quito a good story is going j
the rounds of Saoraraonto on tlie i
subject of socks. There are quite ]
a number of eccentric statesmen .
in Sacramento, and among other ?
eccentricities it < was firmly be- ,
lieved that one of these scorned (
the idea of wearing socks. To ]
eluciduto this momentous question |
was the desire of several fellow* (
statesmen. So two grave and
reverend seignors came together
and discussed the question. The
first, whom for brevit's sake we ,
will call Smith, affirmed that ,
Johnes (the statesman) did not
wear socks, while Brown declared
that having slept with Jones, he
knew that he wore socks. The
upshot was that a $20 piece was
pnt up by Brown and Smith res*
pectively and deposited in the
hands of one of the sergeants at- ,
arms. Now. Brown was in doubt ,
on the propersitioo, eo lie went to
Jones and stated the issue. " By ,
George," replied Jones, " x'oa're a
foner. I don't wear socks.1'? ,
his caused the confideut Brown
to go down in his boots; hut
quickly rallying, he said : M Well, ,
inow, I can't afford to lose that
$20. Tell you what I'll do?I'll
in with you, and we'll divide j
(She <coin." Jones agreed, and the
pair went up on the dome, where
AJroww drew oit one dooc ana pan- ,
off one sock. Jones pulled off a ,
boot and encased bis horny foot in .
ithe sock, and both descended to ,
the-lower regions. Jones -quietly ,
went to his desk, and in an instant 1
was immersed ia the interest of
'his constituents. Brown wont to
Smith aad suggested that, after
adjournment, Jones be interview (
ed on the eock question. Smith ,
agreed, and the seargeanNat arms (
was chosen as refferee. After ad- ,
journment, the party hied themselves
off to a committee room, and
innocent like, Brown informed ,
Jones of the terms of the wager, ,
and Jones was requested to show ,
a foot. Suddenly lie cast am anx- ;
ious look toward the smiling .
.Brown and turned paAe. He bad ,
forgotten upon whtcii foot be bad '
(placed the sock 1 With a weti- ,
feigned look of anguish, he trast- |
ed to luck and presented tbe right
boot, which the sergeant at arms ,
quickly pulled off, and la, and be- .
bold, there was nary sock upon ,
it f "The wrong foot, by
<5eorgeJ" exclaimed the owner of {
the boot. Brown retired discom- |
lited, and tbe quartette were abort- i
ly afterwards seen at Swimley'a
44 taking it straight.** Jones re
tains the eock as a memento, and
to jog his memory on future occasions.

AGRICULTURAL* i
Spring Management of SheepAs
soon as warm weather approaches
and grass appears, sheep
become restive and impatient for 1
the pasture. This instino* should
be repressed till the ground has
become thoroughly dry, And the
K-iss has acquired substance.?
ey ought, moreovei*, to be provided
for the change of food by the
daily oso of roots for a few days
before turning out. The tendency
to excessive purging which is induced
by the first spring feed, may
be checked by housing them at
night and feeding them for the
first few days with a little sound
Bweet hay. Tbey must bo providod
with pure water and salt; for,
though tbey may do tolerably well
without either, yet thrift and freedom
from disease are cheaolv se~
cured by this slight attention.
As to water, it may be said it is
not indispensable in the summer
pastures, since tbo dews and the
Bncculence of the feed answer as a
substitute ; but a wide experisnoe
having demonstrated that free access
to it is advantageous, particularly
to those having lambs, it
should be considered a matter ot
importance on a sheep farm so to
arrange the pastures, if possible,
as to bring water into each of
them.
Salt is indispensable to the
health, especially in the summer.
It is common to give it once a
week, while they are at grass. It
is still better to give them free access
to it, at all times, by keeping
it ia a covered box, open on one
side. A large hollow log, with
holes cut along the side for the insertion
of tli6 heads of the animals,
answer very well A sheep hav
iag free access to salt at all times,
will never eat too mnch of it: and
it will take its supply at enci times
and m such quantities as Nature
demands, instead of eatiug of it
voraciously at stated period*, as
intermediates abstinence will stimulate
it to do. When salt is fed
b?t once a week, it is better to
have a stated day, so that it will
not be forgotten; and it is well to
lay tie salt on flat stones?though
if laid in little bandfuls on the
grass, very little of it will bo lost.
Dry, sweet pasture, and such as
abound in aromatic and bitter
plants, are best snited for sheepwalks.
No animal, with the exception
of the goat, crops so great
a variety of plants. They eat
many which are rejected by the
horse and ox, which are even es
sential to their own wants. In
this respect they are valuable assistants
to the husbandman, as
they feed greedily on wild mustard,
burdock, thistles, march mal
lows, milk weed and various other
offending plants; and the Met ino
exceeds the more recent breeds in
the range of his selections.
In pastures, however, where the
dry stalks of the burdock, or the
houDd's-tongue or tory-weed have
remained standing over the winter,
the burs are canght in the now
long wool, and, if they are nnmeroub,
the wool is rendered entirely
unmarketable and almost valueless.
Even tho dry prickles of the
common or Canada thistles, where
they are very numerous, get in the
neck-wool of sheep, as they tbrosl
their heads under and among them
to crop the first scarce feed of the
northern spring; and, independently
of injuring the wool, they
make it difficult to wash and otb?
erwiee handle the sheep. Indeed,
it is a matter of the soundest policy
to keep sheep on the cleaneet
pastures, those free from these and
similar plants; and in a region
wnurw mej are pastured tue year
round, thev should be kept from
contact with them for some months
paior to shearing.
Many prepare artificial pasture*
for their flocks, which may be done
with a number of plants. Winter
rye, or wheat sown early in the
season, may be fed off in the fall,
without Injury to the crop; and,
in the following spring, the rye
may be pastured till the sulks
shoot up and begin to form a head.
This affords ao early and nutritions
food. Corn may be sown
broadcast, or thfaklw ??? ?J
, T-y ".mo, WIU
either fed off in the fields or cnt
carried to the sheep in the their
folds. White mustard is also a
valuable crop for this purpose.
To give the sheep sufficient ve
riety, ft is better to divide their
range into several smaller ones,
and change tbem as often, at least,
as once a week. They seek a fa*
i V, i vi >v i
rorite resting-place, on a dry, ele- i
raked part of toe field, which soou
becomes toiled. By removing J
them from this for* few days, rain 1
will cleanse or the MH dry ft, *o f
u to make it again suitable for j
them. More sheep may be kept, j
sod in better oonditioo, where this ,
practice is adopted, than where 1
tbey are confined to the same pas- i
tare. I
Ho one who has observed With
what eagerness sheep seek shade J
In hot weather, and how tLey pant 1
sod apparently suffer when a hot J
Bun is pouring down on their near- ,
ly naked bodies, will doubt that, ]
both as a matter ot humaity and ,
utility ^ they should be provided, i
dnring the hot summer months, i
with a better shelter than that af <
forded by a common rail fence.

dens.?It is very annoying, after j
having set oat r nice lot of sweet '
potatoes or cabbago plants, to see <
them cat down one by one by
worms. We bave tried yuhes, 1
soot, and, in fact, everything we '
bave ever beard of, but never 1
found anything effectual until, by j
accident, we found tbree or four ,
of the worms one morning gather- <
ed under a small board which had i
been left by some children on a :
sweet potatoe hill. Acting upon 1
this hint, we placed small pieces 1
of bohra, large chips, <fcc., all
through the patch, and we trapped
them b y hundreds. The (
boards must be lifted early in the
morning, and on very warm days
again about noonv A little care
for a few days will clear these
pets ont of the garden. One trial
will satisfy any person of the mer
it of this plan.?Ex.
Cur* tor Scab in Siibep.?A
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer
says : " About this season of
the year we frequently see and
hear considerable about the loos
ing of wool, or scab in sheep.?
For the benefit of sheep brooders,
and farmers generally, allow me
to say, that this disease made its
appearance in my flock for several
years. 1 finally tried the following
ointment, which proved to
be effectual: Soda, one pond , snlEbur,
one pound ; cream tartar,
alf pound. This, mixed together,
should be applied by parting
tho wool and rubbiug it ioto the
furrow from head to tail."
The good farmer sells mainly
such products as are least exhaustive.
A bank account daily drawn
upon while nothing is deposited
to its credit, must soon, respond
u no funds." So with a farm aim
ilarly treated. Rotation is at least
negative fertilization. It may
positively enrich a farm ; it will at
least retard and postpone its impoverishment.
? ?.?
Maxims tor Farmers?Only
good farming pays. He who
plants without reasonable assur
ance o f good crops annually,
migni oeiter earn wages of some
capable nighbor than work for so
poor a paymaster as he is certain
to prove himself.

It is claimed that warts on cows
and horses can be speedily remov
ed by 6iraply rubbing thetn occa?
sionally with hog's lard. They
disappear as if mysteriously, ft
is easy to try.
Western farmer says: " My
remeday for scratches on hor6CB
or cowo is an ointment made ot
equal parts of tar, sulphur, and
lard, applied every day. I have
never tailed of effeoMng a speedy
cure.
Wisdom is never dear, provided
the article be genuine. There are
farmers who have toiled constant

died poor, because, through ignor
go, iuvjt wruuguv 10 ui8advantage.
Each year of a farmer's devotiou
to bis homestead may find it
more valuable, more attraotire
than the last, and leave it bettor
still.
It is far easier to maintain the
productive capacity of a farm than
to restore it.
The good farmer is proved such
by the steady expectation of his
crops.
What Mm Lovt.?What men
love is the comforts of the married
state, not the person who provides
them?wife.ly duties rather
than the wife. A man enjoys his
home. He likes the cheery fire

Eers, the bright tea nrn, and the
righter eye behind it. He likes
to see boys and girls around them,

his clothes laid reader to bis hand,

My conntrjmen, it ia with gratitude that
I am able to announce that the Palmetto
Orphan Home has opened with eneonraging
prospects. It is located in Columbia, but
designed for the whole 8iate. It is not uo?
der the control of any denomination, but
intandad for all. A Board of Trustees will
soon be announced, eoniitliog of practical
business gentlemen. It ia desired to obtain
a suitable lot on which to begia to build
eheap, but eooveoient houaee for the or>
phans. The orphaca who hart come in are
in No. 2d, UurleyellU, under the care of
the Matron, Mrs. M M. Lynee, of Charles*
ton, who was. for years, connected with the
Orphan Asylum of lhatoity. Sba will take
pleasure In seeing the friends of the orphans,
especially the ladies of Columbia, at the
" Home*
The orphans are to be supported by freewill
donations People oil over the Slate
are responding to the call for help, to this
noble work. I hare just received a contribution
of $6 from California ; and a pledge
of $260 from a gentleman In Boston, Massachusetts.
Surely, if people so far away are
ready to help ue take care of our poor orphans
iu South Carolina, no one of us should
fail to do his whole duly. lean bring into
the Home, very soon, not lees than fifty eery
destitute orphans.
The book for subscription Is open at the
