The Press and Banner, ABUKVILLE, S. C. Wednesday, March 8, 1832. Death of Mr. J?lui White. Mr. John Wnitedied Inst Thursday nt his home in Abbeville, after having attained his three-score years and ten. Mr. White was one of the oldest citizens of the town, and had been a res-, ident of the place for half a century. For many years before the war he was the leading merchant of the place, and was favorably known in every section of the county. His excellent business taet, bis rare judgment, and his wellknown integrity brought him the finest success in a business which is beset with so many dangers. He was h man of pronounced character: "A; plain, blunt man, who loved his; friends," and was true to them in ev-J cry sense of the word, while his enemies were never at a loss to know his sentiments. He wa>, in word and. deed, an honest man,?"the noblest work of fJod." He exemplified ill hisj dailv walk the truet manhood, and in s * i--- - 1 ?!... i... : ins UUillll IlilS IMIIVIHI iimii Iiiovu I where the weary are at rest. The funeral services were held in ! the Presbyterian Church on Friday j morning by tlie Rev. J. L. Martin.! The building was well filled with citizens, many of whom hore evidence of feelings of genuine sorrow at the loss of so good a eitixen. At the conclu-j sion of the religious services his re-J mains were taken to Upper L:>ng Cane: cemetery. ? Literary Club. The regular monthly meeting of the Abbeville Literary Club was held last' Friday .night at the residence of S. C.! Cason, E-qr., Captain J. W. PernyJ in the chair. Mr. James Chalmers; was essayist, and entertained the inetii-j hers with a most interesting paper out the subject of Mormouism, giving aj brief history of those people who are! how figuring so prominently in the J political world. The facts stated were; systematically arranged, and well expressed in good English, reflecting! credit upon its author. An interesting! discussion ensued, which was partici-l pated in by quite a number of the! members present, all of whom ex-1 pressed themselves pleased with the essay. j; The officers were then nominated j nnd O. T. Calhoun, Esqr., the Vice-j President, was promoted to the Presi- ' dency. L. \V Perrin, Esqr., was made Vice-President. andS. C. Cason, Esqr., was elected Secretary. A Prnsnorous Culorcd Man. WiHiam MaUison a colored farmer! living near Hojiea l'atii, was at Alibe- j ville Court House last Monday to buy;, the Maddox Mill property. He ran it ' to $5,500, and the best of it is, he hut); the money and the property to make j good his bid. This man was em?nei-j! pa ted without a dollar in his pocket, ( and by industry, good judgment, ami ' economy is now well off in this j' world's goods. His money hemadejl at fanning, while hundreds of farmers in thiscounty have in that timestpian-ji dered their farms, and gone in debt. ? Mattison never buys on a credit, but generally has money enough to help; j out his less thrifty neighbors. Let noi| man say that farming will not pay in i this country. When we he.iraman say that lie can't make a living on a j j good farm, we think there is fault somewhere. Change of Schedule. The cars now leave Abbeville at j lOr.'JD a. m.; return at 1:10 p. m. Leave again at ik^O p. ni. ; return at 0.0? p. i in. ; thus giving us the benefit of two , trains a day, on which passengers 1 may go or come. j4 The post master at this palc'e has! bad no notice of any change of theij mails, and we have only one mail hi day as heretofore. All matter going oft* is sent by I0:30train, and all mat- I ^ ter received, comes on the 0:00 train.jt By the hew schedule passengers make close connection with both, the up and down trains, and are hurried i on, so that travelers are denied the|1 pleasure of resting live or six hours in the town of Hodges. |* Sugar Cane. Every farm* r in Abbeville county ' ( could grow enough molasses canetoj?! supply the farm, if he only made the eilort. Let the seed be sown as early: I as possible. If it is planted early, the; si crop ripens just after the other crojiS arc "laid by." The boiling of the mo- j j Jasses can then be done in the mosti > leisure season of the year. Even if the boiling of the molasses were neg-1 Jeeted, and the stalks were allowed to ' go to waste, the seed of the cai.e would repay the trouble of cultivating. If you would have fat cows at small expense, plant a large crop of sugar cane. .< Sheriff's Sales. The following sales of property were made b3' Hlierift' DuPre on last Mon- j day. Sale of the Johnson lauds: lj tract, 195 acres, $700, to Mr. Joseph Lake; 1 tract, 21G acres, $300, to Mr.Is1 E. A. Moseley. Bitten by a Mad dog.?uaptam; J. N. Cochran, President of the At-i< lanticand French Broad Valley Rail-| road, we learn, was bitten on thej> hand, by one of his own dogs lust j Wednesday. The Captain believes the,, dog was mad at the time. It is earnestly ; hoped that he i? mistaken as tot lie', condition of the dog, and that he may i' suffer no ill-effects from the bite. Hel is taking steps to prevent untoward < developments, and we have no doubt j that he will succeed in his efforts. J j Kvil effects do not at nil necessarily] follow the bite of a rahhid animal, j. From what we have heard we are inclined to the opinion that the Captain j. will suiter no inconvenience, except|J perhaps a little uneasiness of mind for a few weeks. , I Mr. James A.Bowie, of the Em-! poriuin of Fashions, has gone totbe| Northern markets to buy an elegant | stock of goods. Mr. Bowie has had; j great experience in his Iineofbusi-| ness, and by his taste, tact, and fair; j dealings hasalways given satisfaction j to his customers. He promises to have j unusually attractive and beautiful: goods at the Emporium sooui for the inspection of the ladies. 1 This is the season of the year when the town is thronged with wagons to j I be loaded with guanos, corn, flour, j molasses meat, potatoes,shuck collars,' ] ax handles, &c.. &c. If we could only j induce our farmers to buy their cot-;, ton, their success would be assured. They buy everything else, and it seems strange that they do not buy that, too. Everything will be closed out at j1 cost to make room for the lartre spring! stock I expect to get in. Thanking!, the public very kindly for the large; fatronage they have extended to me. j: expect to increase it by strict honor-1 able dealing and giving genuine bargains. Chari.es Auerbach. We are offered $8 to., publish two columns of advertioing matter of Warner's Medicine's, written in such a manner as to create the impression that they are reading or news matter.

J Witi:.\ we can raise two hundred! j bushels of Irish potatoes on a single jaere 'of ground, it seems strange that i so few farmers can aflbnl to plant an acre of this most valuable food.

Grain in this scction of the county is looking unusually well.

Rice has been right sick, but is now convalescent. Irish Potatoes. Now is the time that most people plant, but it is claimed by some good raisers of j Irish potatoes that this valuable farm product, ranking with breadstuff*, can be in | this climate safely planted almost every ! month in the year, and- made to yield j yast crops to the acre, thus producing i large amounts of human l'ood easily and 1 cheaply. And yet how little are our poe- i pie benefitted by this bountiful arrange- i inent of nature! We hardly have Irish potatoes once a week, averaging the year round, when we should see them on the table at each ineal. They are so scarce sometimes, although a small quantity of good land might produce them by"the train load, that they are sold at from 0110 ' to three dollars a bushel, and our planters pay these prices instead of raising them | themselves, at a cost that should not ex- j cced ten or fifteen cents a bushel. How much longer are we to no on in this unprofitable way of living? INDIOKSTION ANI) SCRATCHES IX HORSKS ?For indigestion give the following:?

Honest John Patteoson a Bencfaclor ? A (Juror Mixture of Fiction ami awl Improbability. [Twenworlh (h'ann.,) Times, Feb. 17.] A story which will bo of more or less interest to our citizens is tol<l by the Kansas City papers. It is to tin; "effect that some five or more years ago Hardy Salomon came to that place, and that previous to the war Mr. Solomon was prcsidanto! a bank in South Carolina, of which exUnited Stales Senator Patterson was a director. Mr. Solomon became involved in railroad enterprises, and at the break ing out of the war lost his nil. At lh? close of the war ho drifted about till final J ly he settled there and opened a h.tkor\ I on Main Street, near Eaighth. l?y industry and persevereticc lie built up a good trade, and about six months ago made an advantageous sale of his stand and rereopened a store on Gaand avenue. It was while in this latter place that he re- J eeived a note from Senator Patterson, well known in this city as being connected with the Leavenworth, Topeka and Southwestern, who was at llio ('oats house asking him to call on him and staling that ho had just discovered his whereabouts. Mr. Solomon responded to the note in person, and greetings were exchanged and reminiscences 'indulged in. Later the ex-Senator visited the former president at his house; ami looking about his smell establishment exclaimed, "Great heavens, llardv, have you come to this ?" Mr. Solomon explained that he Was coinfortrbly well off in comparison with the last lew years. In his palmy days Mr. Solomon had befriended lhu cx-Senator, and now his chivalric Southern heart was touched, and the next day he induced his Irier.d to sell his establishment, which he did, and left for this city, where Senator I'attersen has installed him in an elegantly furnished house, and nade a handsome feposit in his name, besides making him tiis chief clerk at a salary of $(}.0?0. Mr. Solomon was in Kansas city a (lay or two tgo. and his appearance reminded his friends there of the change from the time ivhen he was content to peddle "life's staff"" from house to house and live in > ery modest quarters. Gentleness with Horses. A hong; cannot screamed at and cursed vithout becoming less valuable in every jartieular. To roach the highest degree >f value the animal should be gentle and ilwa.vs reliable, but if it expects every riomcnt that it is in harness to bo "jaw>d" at and struck, it will be in a constant itiite of nervousness, and in its excitenent is liable, through fear, to do somehing which is notcxpectml,astogoalong loing what you started it to do. It is impossible to train a horse to be governed by word of mouth, almost ompletely as it is to train a child, and in uch training the horse reaches its high- . st value. When a horse is soothed by he gentle words of his driver?and well lave seen him calmed down from great j xcitement by no other means?it may be l] ifirly concluded that he is a valuableani- j, nal for all practical purposes, and it may! i ie certainly concluded that the man who i ias such power over him is a humane nan, and a sensible one. But all this simply means that the man mist secure the animal's confidence. Ony in exceptional instances is he stubborn I r vicious: If he understands his xuroundin^s anil what is required of him. I; e gives no trouble. As almost every I j eader must know, if the animal wheii) lightened can be brought uptotheob-r jet he will become calm. The reason is i e understands that there is nothing to ;ar. no iiiuh uu mugm u? uuw t?u-1 donee in tlio man who handles hiin, and j i lien this powerful animal,"which usually i I o man could handle if it were disposed j1 ) he vicious, will {jive no trouble. The very best rule, therefore, which we ould lay down for the management of ie horse, is gentleness and good sense on | , le part of the driver. Bad drivers make ' ad horses, usually. c ?<& ? lie Argument Against the Blind Bridle. We know nDt who invented this instrulent of horse torture, but wo know he il id not understand the anatomy audi' hysiologvof the eve of ahorse, liumauf^ ision is binocular? that is, we see the line objects with both eves?and so ad-1 ist the axis of vision that the object apears single though seen with the two k'es. but the eyes of the horse are placed 11 tbe side of the head and the axis of ?ch eye is nearly at right angles with the j a ingitudinal line of the body, so that it I : impossible that the same object can be istinctly seen with two eves. Now by liudiug the eye in the direction iu which r was intended in its construction that it lould see, it is forced to use an oblique s ieiiiti it' wfi s lion hi cover the front of ' ii r optics and be compelled to see only!0 y tiie corners of our eyes. This unnatral and constrained use of the eye must, j > a greater or less extent, impair vision,' "n< t eniirely destroy it. The object >r which the blind bridle is used is not jeomplished by it. A horse is more read y frightened when he cannot see the oh- { set of hi:i dread than if he can have a fair k ie\v of it. But it is surprising to observe ' ilh whatjtenacity men hold on to an abnrd and cruel practice, when a moment's election would te:ich them butter. | Nineteen out of every twenty horses you j 50 in harness have blind bridles on, and j ' you ask the owner to explain its bene- i ts, or why ho uses it, he will bo utterly j nable to give a rational answer. We are ! ot surprised that draft horses are subject i j > diseased eyes?we wonder that they!n re not all blind. * li t MARRIED. MARUIKD, M:.re!i 1, 1S82. by Rev. W. F. earson. Mr. A. F.

It is well suited for lawns and makes a very good permanent pasture, but is not used for hay or as a fertilizer. Sapling or I mamoth clovcr is a species of red clover which grows large and rank, sometimes attaining the height of five or six feet. It will grow on poor land and ischicfly used as a fertilizer. It grows very rapidly if sown on rich, strong, land and is almost sure to foil down before ripening. M011moth clover may be sown in the same way as red clover, only a smaller quantity of seed should be -sown to the acre on rich than on poor land. This clover will grow on our soil, and we think many a poor worn out field might bo reclaimed by it. But our purpose in this articlo'ls to speak chiefly ot common red clover. It is truly styled the''champion of all clovers," and is the basis of much of the line farming in the land. It now stands in the front rank inagriculture in the North and West, and tvery day the farmers in our comity are using it more and more. lied clovcr is cultivated for lour distinct purposes : For hay, for pasture, for seed and l'or manure. All acknowledge its merits as a hay. To appreciate it as hay we need only watch the fat, sleek, stock that feed upon it in winter. 1 When wanted for hay it should bo cut iirttAn mm tiomlu t1 ! - huvu my ugauij uugiil IU ^ub .XL 114 not well to let it stand too l?u)g, especially if a seed crop is expected the same season. Tho'old adage, "make liay' while the8un shines," should bo closely observed in dealing with clover. It is damaged easily by rain. It should be cut in the morning when the dew dries off. If the day bo hot it will be ready by sunset of the same day to throw up 'into little qhocks. If 10ft broadcast over night tlie action of the dew on it will blacken and injure it. Clover should be hauled and put in the barn or stacked and covered without delay. It may be put up a little green, if salt is puton it layer after layer. Say put about a peck to the ton of ha.v. This helps enre the hay, while it makes stock relish it the more, and also improves the stock. Some farmers put a peck of lime to the ton of hay to euro it, but when this is done tho hav must be shook well before it is fed. H'hen seed is wanted the clover should le cut as early as possible in the summer, so that the seed crop may have timo to mature by fall. It should not be cut for seed until two-thirds of the heads are ripe. Each acre should produce three bushels of seed and the straw and chaff are worth enough to paj- for harvesting. Some farmers prefer not to save the seed, so that they may begin to pasture it as soon as it sprouts out alter the first cutting until the crop is almost ready to cut for seed in the fall and plow it under for wheat. I5ut to ^et tho benefit from clover the field should be divided into lots, so that one part may be growing while anothor part is beihg pastured, and still another turned under for manure. We have seen that clover Is valuable as a hay and invaluable as a seed crop, each bushel selling in the market for not less U.an five and a half and *fton eight and ten dollars n bushel. As a pasture little need be said, as the fine cattle, horses and mules that are grazed on it and then brought to us and sold for high prices tell tho true story. Hogs, too, that are shippod Souih by the thousand, alive and as bacon, are in a great measure fed it. Of the fine cows producing rich milk, and (lifln Htn linHne urn) ntinnca n?o Kama -*rn/J only to mention them. But valuable* as clover may bo as a hay pasture or seed.it is far more valuable as a fertilizer. It is something to improve the soil, and thnt the cheapest and best chat is the farmer's greatest need. Guano will do better than nothing, but it lasts one year only. We know some farmers whose lands were too poor to sprout clover and they took a sack of guano and gave the land a thin coating of this and planted clover. It helped to bring on the clover and after that the clover made manure itself. Wo say that if guano must be used, it is best to get >i clover lield started with it than to c mtinually plant cotton and never rotate crops, and neglect to fertilize our lands. Now clover is tlie orfly crop that the farmer can raise that will not exhaust the soil. Chemistry teaches us that almost nine tenths of tWe clovor growth is absorbed from the atmosphere. The Ions top roots that go down far into the subsoil opening up and loosening it aro of the greatest benefit to the land. These roots that reach down over two feet, not only decay and make the finest manure, but they are like a bulitung run down far into the soil, loosening and mellowing it. These roots are known to be. composed of nitrogenous substances, from which in the compositian anuiK hia is formed. This substance is the life of all growing plants. It has boon ascertained that on an average acre of clover there are morejthanfive LUIJO ui WI^UIIK; uioiici ivibiu uiUDUji uwm the roots alone. And when the manure ( obtained from the leaves and stems Is 1 turned under we get five tons more. Both those together make ten tons of manure that is secured to the soil in a wheat r>r corn crop from a growth of clover. When a tiida is once well set in clover there is no more need for any mantire to lie put on that lield for at least four years When you expect to seed your land to ivheat you aiay cut ono crop of clover in j the summer oil'the land. Then just asi soon as the clover lmids bcginjto ripen igain vou can turn it under again fori wheat." Koine think this plan best; others *ut the seed and plr.w the stubble under for wheat. If the clover is wanted for | pasture cut one crop of hay in the sum-! rner and as soon as it sprouts out begin ;o pasture it. It eaunot be too highly praised asarenewer and renovator of the mil. Many a poor farm has been madel rich by it and we cannot afford to not make use of a thing so valuable without il'airtcst. I am familiar with a gentleman who bought a very pooi farm that jad a clay bottom and would not produce more than five btishcls of wheat to the icre, or ten ot corn. He rented corn land j :hree miles from home lor six dollars an j icre and seeded liis own land in clover,! md in a few years his land had all been : sown to clover. It made the farm what i is now, one of the richest in the land. In ' IfSSl averaged twenty bushels of wheat to | the acre and every aero planted in corn j urniltHwl not l!i:iil t'ol'tv tllisht'ls. ' clover grows best on ii limestone soil, I( md lime or gypsum is the best immure!' fur it. When clover is sown it is well to j < live tho land a coating of lime or plaster. 1 If it to not clone then, sow it upon the 1 wheat or oats stubble when it is cut. It!' is not best to pasture it the first year.,1 By no means allow sheop to feed on it the j1 first year, as they nip it so close it will j kill it. Clover should bo planted in the)' spring when the ground thaws on wheat: 1 fir oats. Harrow tho ground and brush j" in the clover seed.

DAVIS, ( A BunMNftSiiamk.?Week before last we stated that wo had been informed that sevoiiil Mormon missinnarios were : working among the people in the neighborhood of Black's Station. This week ' we are able to announce the truthfulness of our information. Wo learn from a trustworthy source that two "apostles,1'* named Burton and Kastin, have been preaching alternately at a point near Black's Station, near the residenit'of Mr J. It. Far is, and at Gales's saw mill, in Kings Mountain township, this county. Our informant states that they have made converts of about thirty people in the township named, in several instances gathering in whole families Their meetings are conducted publiclv and are said to be well attended. I( is a burning shame that such polygamous emissaries are permitted to delllc the soil of a christian community, and if there be any law to reach them it ought to be applied speedily. --Iiock Hill Herald. Lire Stock -tfotes?3tafeh. For tho management of the farm stock at this usually changeable season of the yenr, we have but little to suggest that M. new, except that wo will need rathe* more feed and that of better quality than Is nocded din ing clear and cold weather. As tho plowing season i.? now at hand, . see that all horses and mules haye good collar* of suitable size, remembering always that more harm in done by a colIa( being too large than by using one too xmall. As the shoulders are more tender after the comparative rest of winter, they will often lie made sore by the constant \ draft in plowing. 80 that it will be found 1 good rule to have them washed with strong salt and water after they have been used each day, wl ilo they are warm from work. A good washing will tend to make the skin clean and also more tough. Be purticukir to have tho hames fit close, , just so as not to press too hard on tho . ' shoulders. ' When oxen are used they ought not to bo compelled to work much in muddy ! weather, as that will be found to wear . their feet rut much faster than on hard frozen roads. Often One or two dnva' work on bad roa.ls will cause the loss of a week or ten days when the time of a tearu is very important. Early lambs .should be provided with n suitable trough and some corn meal and , bran mixed kept in it at all times, so that ihev can eat often. They will begin to feed some at a lew days old, and will bo _ much more apt to get fat early so as to .. sell while the price is up. Brood sows should be fed very moder- ately until the pigs are a week old ; after > that, all thev will cat should bo the rule, of such food as will tend to make a good llowof milk. Do net hesitate to either give away or kill some pigs when a sow has more than she can do justice, to remembering always that six or eiglitgood pigs are worth more either to keep or for sale than n greater number of poor, half- starved runts. If one sow lias too many and another too few pigs, they can be averaged, if those of the one having few of her own .are not over twonty-four hours old at the time the others are added, as they very early learn to'keep the sajne place at tne dinner table and will stick to it or starve. ! Calves will begin toeat some meal and ' nice clover hay at two weeks old,and a little should be kept before thcurat all times. Treatment of Stock, We would like to impress patrons everywere that tliey should ever remember the noble lesson given in the first degreV of our Order, concerning the treatment of the domestic animals committed to their care.by the Great Author of our being. .. . j/ir. Now we know it is too much tha cus* * torn of our people to mistreat.their work ahimals, by over-work, light feeding and irregular attention. Our people are too prone.to adopt the custom of hard riding,;., which is always wrong, when it i* possible to be avoided. We should not forget that ' horses are made of flush and blood, and by nature are none below man in the-reid* ity of life. Hence every pain unduly caused this noble animal* is morally wrong, and evory injury inflicted upon him, reflects upon his owner in a financial way. Let us look at this from a financial standpoint. For example, wo will say a man loans 8100 at 7 per cent. Interest; ho does it with the expectation of getting, not only his $100 back again at the end or a year, but also ex poets to receive the $7 interest, too. Or, If he sells a horse at.' one hundred dolars, 011 one year's tim<v? and takes the purchaser's note for tho money, he expects at the end of twelve ' months, to receive the face of tho nofe'. with an increase of ?7?the common rato interest. Now, when one invests 8100 in a horse. the same idea of increase should be kept / in view. And instead of allowing youi** one hundred dollars, in the shapo of * horse, to deprociato, he should, by careful attention and good treatment to "the ani- / uial. not only endeavor to keep him from getting sick, hurt or in any way injured, that ho may all the time be ready to do service or be in h condition to trade*. Moreover, by prudout management ftn.i'j a good system of training, a horse can be ' rendered not only more subsurvient'to to the use of his owner, but increased br moni'.ary value. Horses very rarely did from old ago, but niuoty-mue in ?ver\r hundred die from theolfects of over-work * or abuse of some kiud. . Jhe natural life-time of a hrr.se is not lei than tweuty-tivo.years, and a mule right ly cared for, all the time, may bo depend ded upoh t > do good service for thirty-1 tliroe years. ' ; -* : / Corn-Raisers vs. Planters. [Atlanta Co?stUxdion.\ ' . We print in another column a remark able array of letters Riving examples successful fanners in the Suite. It ap- pears without a single exception that tuo men who have been prosperous in farming are msn who make their farms self- ' sustaining?who raise their own corn, hay,. grain and, to a degree, their meat. Oaav correspondent, writing from Habersham county, gives 'an example of three men who have prospered, beyond the average, ' neither of whom ever raised a pound of cotton and of a district in which not a cotton seed was ever planted. Now the farmers have objected to nual crusade of this paper in favof V)f;>d|r.versified crops, because we are theorists*.Thev have replied to our arguments with the boast that one practical farmer was worth a dozen editors, and that they knew more about theii?business than we could;^ teach them. All ri^ht. Now we givd them a dose of "practical farmers." We give them name alter name of the msot prosperous farmers in.the Slate, and It, is shown without single exception they endorseAq years of experience the ar gnmcnt that we have built on theory^ We have sought no "special" eases. We have simply asked for the names of tho" uujjpjtrMi, lauedi, ui'suuu mrujeis?icguiuless of their plan of farming. Aftor the names are collected then we look into their methods?and they are all corn rais- ; er.Si We respectfully, submit that these facts are worth the serious consideration of our ; country friends. They demonstrate abr' ' soluiely that cotton is the curse of this*. Stat?>, and that independence and easo awaits only him who is strong enough to resist the allurements and give enough of his land to mixed crops to assure at least bread for his family and food for his stock. Within the next two months the farmers of Georgia will decide whether they will remain slaves of the commission mer ehantor whether they will establish themselves as freemen. Will they heed the lesson conveyed in the Constitution of to- ; day ? We have given the no theory or argument, but stubborn, incontrovertiOle facts. No mau can answer them ; at most he can only evade their mandates and affect to misunderstand their meaning. Look to the Lambs. .r . ;The near approach of spring, as indicated not alone by the calendar, but by the jright sKiea ana nign temperature mat so generally previal, will admonish tbo lock owner that the season for his earlyjarvest is at hand. If ho has not already provided such conveniences and iiecessi-. ties as will ensure the ccuifort and enliance the health and thrill of the lambs, upon which .so largo a proportion of his profit depends, he should lose no more lime in perfecting such arrangements. A iamb once on his feet, and well tilled with' its mother's milk, has escaped one-half the risk of lambhood, and is ready to ' ^row and thrive; while its less fortunate i issociates are overcoming the backsets resulting from being chilled and hungry by reason of t lie oversight or carelessness jf their owners. kJ At this time, the shepherd cannot b6jverkind to the in-lamt> ewes, provided l?is attentions are reasonably bestowed. 1'omfort they must have; luxuries, if such jan be secured, they will well repa, ? Niicji luxuries as an occasional run over the pasture on bright days, a chance to nibble in the ryetield, with extra articles >f food when thesw aio within reach, rhese will give good tone to the system, jncourage the secretion of milk, and in jvery way prepare the mother for the trials of fnaten ity and the subsequent lemauds upon her while suckling a vigorous lamb. It is not enough to alloW * the breeding ewes t > take their chances n itli the other members of the flock un til weaning time, and then separate them . for u thange in treatment. It" not kept) , to themselves nil winter, they should be separated some weeks before the lambs ire duo, so that they may become thorjuglily aeeustomcd to their surroundings, ind have tne opportunity to reap such advantage* as are promised by the change before the lamb appears. A well shelter- . d sleeping place, with ample dry bed-ling, is an essential that should not bo jverlooked. Demanded at all times by considerations of economy and mercy, ind so readily within roach of every farmer, the failure to provide it at this Lime is an evidence of negligence and short-sightedness of which an intelligent man should feel ashamed.?Breeder's (Jazettc. ?

It is a sovereign remedy for weakness ; it relieves'languor ; it cores restlessness, uneasiness and irritability: it will remedy headache and backache ; it also euros nervousness.
