The best sheep for a farmer to keep are those that yield the heaviest fleeces arid the greatest number of pounds of meat. The scrub sheep will yield from three t3 six pounds of wool per head, while merinos will range between ten and twenty pounds, and thor oughbred Cotswolds more. Why is it that farmers do not raise.the sheep which-will give these heavy feeces ? Then as to meat, the fine sheep produces an enormous amount of flesh, and do not eat any morethan a scrub. But be sides these facts, the fine sheep do not only yield larger fleeces per head, hut .the wool is of superior q'ality. The same is true of the flesh of fine sheep in comparison with scrubs. Southdowns, for instance, are the fnest mutton in the world, always commanding an extra price-a flesh which princesses dcsire -while the fleece is medium. The Shropshire -stands next in meat quality, and are next to Ootswols in fleeces. The profit of these breeds are very great in times of i-erdinary prosperity, and under all d ireamstances it is best for the far mer to breed them, because they ~ ay bett'er-the grand result Whiich is the supreme object to the farmer ''the hlighest possible remunera tion for his capital and labor. -And all this concerning sheep is true of fine breeds of cattle, horses, hogs and poutry. In the -face of these indisputable facts the mass of the people should not han dle scrub stock, and entertain an ignorant opposition to fine breeds. There is one supreme reason for this.. The mass of the people do not read papers devoted to live stock interests, and are wholly ignorant of the vast progress that is making in the more intelligent ranks of farmers. There are sec tions of Kentucky where the im proved breeds of stock are almost unknown. It is only a small num ber of men who are alive to it and keep themselves thoroughly posted in regard to the progress of agri cultural science and the breeding of the best animals, while the masses remain in the old ruts, fol lowing after the custom o*f a hun dred years ago. If farmers would elevate their calling and render it more remunerative, they must put themselves in living connection with the intellectual spirit of the age.-Kentucky Live Stock Jour nal. ROW TO GET EALY TOMATOES. As'soon as your tomato plant bas made four leaves, pinch the top bud from the stemn, then take up the plant, pinch off two inches from the tap-root and transplant in a common box frame where the soil is rich and loamy. The box will keep off -the wind, and plants sown and grown -there eighteen inches apart will produce fruit two weeks sooner than the same plant ed in the open ground. A mat of a few boards spread over the frame is far easier and quicker than going over a field mghtly and, setting boxes over each hill. As soon as the plants have set fruit on two blossoms of each branch, and the top has grown two to four leaves, the pinching off the ends of' each branch and top should be again put in pr-ac tice. SWEET PoTATOES.- Boil your potatoes until tender; then slice several times the long way of the potato; place a layer of the slices on the bottom of an earthen dish; an~-nL1~ liohtlv with white sugar, SPEAK GENTLY TO YOUR ow. -If you would have your cow give [own her milk don't whip her, club ier, whack her with the milking tool, kick her, nor even speak oud and harshly to her. Some ows are so phlegmatic and good aatured that a moderate amount of Il-treatment does not-seem to :dis :urb their equanimity. Others are aturally vicious and will kick and hook without provocation. There is another class that, while not vicious, are so nervous that they may easily be made to appear ugly, and in time becom; really so, in consequence of rough handling or carelessness. It requires a con siderate and good-dispositioned man to manage such cows and get along with them. They must be humored, spoken kindly to and gently handled in milking. Swear ing at them or beating them will demoralize them fearfully and make them almost useless in a short time. It is often among the very best milkers and butter makers that these nervous animals are found, and the owner cannot afford to have their value thus impaired. No violence should be allowed among-the cows at any time; but if you should have impatient help, or are quick-tempered yourself, let some person who don't get mad so easily milk the nervous cows. Make up your mind before you approach a nervous cow that you wil treat her gently, even if she acts pro voTingly. Beaiag ew to induce her to act as you would have her will only increase a bad difficulty. THE ENGLISH FARMER.--As a reason why American farmers ought to be contented, the Agri culturist gives this account of the farmer in England: He does not own his land, except in very rare instances, and is obliged not only to pay a yearly rental of $20 to $25 per acre, but to keep the hard; ly worked land in good condition, is forced to employ a working capi~ tal of at least $50 an acre, to be expended in artificial fertilizers. He is prohibited by la.w from kill ing wild a'simalsi such as rab bits, hares, foxes,: partridges, and pigeons, while his cats and dogs are killed by his landlord's game keeper, lest they might injure tho~ game. This games feeds on his crops, and he must submit to see his fields sometimes ravaged by them. He is obliged to raise sach crops as his landlord considers best for the land. He is bound to all these requirements by an exacting ease, which makes him a species of serf to his landlord. ANIMALS AND PLANT FooD. Plants feed upon carbonic acid ; nimals create it.

Washington, D. C. WASsINGrON, D. C., November 24, 1876. I take pleasure in expressing my entire confi-. dence in the responsibility and fidelity of the Law, Patent and Collection House of Giilmore & Co. ofthi -GEORGE II. B. WHITE, ()Cashier of the National Metropelitan Bank.) Dec. 18, 5.J-tf. THE SUN. 1877. NEW YORK. 1877. The different editions of THE SUN during the next year will be the same as during the year that has just passed. The daily edition will on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sun days a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad columns; while the weely edition will be a sheet of eight pages of the same dimensions and character that are' already familiar to our friends. TaE SUN will continue to be the strenuous advocate of reform an d retrenchment, and of th e sbstitution of statesmanship, wisdom. and in tegrity for hollow pretence, imbecilty, and fraud in the administration of public affairs. It will contend-for the government of the people by the people and for the people, as oppose<L to government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting of votes. enforced by military vio lnce. it will endeavor to supply its readers-a body now not far from a million ofsouls-ewith the most careful, complete, an d trustworthy accounts of current events, and wvill employ for this pur pose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reporters and corre<pondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or by usurping what the law does not give them, while it will en deavor to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people against the encroachments of un'justified power. The price of the daily SUN will be 55 cents a month or St6.50 a year. post paid, or with the Sunday ed ition $7.7' a year. The SUNDAY edition alone, eight pages, $1.23 a year. post paid. The WEEKLY SUN, eight pages of 56 broad columns, will he furnishcd during 1877 at the rate of S1 a year, post paid. The benefit of this large reduction from the previous rate for TH E WEEKLY can be enjoyed by individual subscribers without the necessity of making up cdnbs. At the same time. if any of our friends choose to aid in extending our circulation, we shall be grateful to them, and every such person who sends us ten or more sub ~ uiIl h~ pntitlprl to one Stationery and Binding.
