SHEEP AND GOOD PROFITS. A sheep grower of large experience holds strongly to the value of sheep bn the farm and gives some good sug: gestions, drawn from his own observa tion, in a recent letter to the Am! ri- can Sheep Breeder. He says: Farmers can count not only on the capacity of the shecp to yield good profits on farm lands, but they can count on a well established and gen- eral demand for mutton products. The primitive system of running sheep goes along with the time of intermit- teat limited demand, but now owing to the improvement In the quality of mutton from sel ctive feed ing among the better class of sheep- men, mutton has become a staj has a place on the table of opulence with eriti-al appetite, and on the table of the laborer as a cheap and nourish- fang meat diet. At the same time mut ton is the handiest summer meat the farmer can have owing to its small size, its cheapness and to Its boing always available. It may that sheep Would be too hard on pas- ture intended for dairy cows an they could not be profitably the same grouad, ally area is limited, but should be regarded as belonging to a and more primitive state of agricul ture, but as being on a par with other special live stock interests.

JIVE THE HOGS MORE RANGE A very common practice, and very injurious practice, ers is to confine their pens, not allowing them range and a change of atmosphere. The original hog had the freedom of the woods, where he could dig for and obtain other things possessing medicinal qualities; consequently he was much bealthier, aad Hable to cholera and contagious dis- eases.

Don’t feed those pigs so much grain, give them such food as will be conducive of mors growth and less flesh. Prepare a pasture especially adapted to the meeds and wants of the pigs: such as clover, peas, rape, «'c., and you will have stronger and better hogs. Hogs weighing about 200 pounds, well-fat. tened, are bringing the top of the market now. The large coarse hog fs no longer in such demand; this works a great saving to tho producers, as it iz possible to make market top pera in zix to nine months, so that it is not necessary to winter any thing but the brood sows; spring pigs being marketed in the fall. In this way. too, they can be matured at less cost than those that have to be wintered before fattening. Thihk it a better plan to give even those hogs that are on full feed a chance to roam some, as they will not over do this If water is handy to the feed pen.~Epitomist. poasible by TSO MUCH IN-BREEDING.

In attempt: ing to lead him out of the flood he had to cross a little diteh that would almost swim him. Several men got one one gide of the ditch, the mule on the other, and they all tugged away at the halter rope, but the mule would not budge. He stood there several hours until the water got up around his neck and he decided to move. Nothing less serious ‘han a prospect of drowning could bave In Unkfiown America.

Sf w Ww Melancholy of Russia. Russian Weak Nation When Viewed From the Inside. By Andrew ID. White, HE general Ruasian life, as I thus saw it, while Intensely interest ing In many respects, was certainly not cheerful. Despite the frivolity dominant among the upper class and fetishism controll ing the lower classes, there was especially in that period of calamity, a deep undertone of melancholy. Melancholy, indeed is a marked characteristic of Russia, and, above all, of the peas antry. They seem sad even in thelr sports; their songs almos without exception are in the minor key; the whole atmosphere is apparantly charged with vague dread of some calamity. Despite the suppression of mow of the foreign jour nals. and the blotting out of page after page of the news papers allowed to eater the empire, despite all that the secret police could dv in repressing unfavorable comment, it became generally known that all was going wrong in the Crimea News came of reverse after reverse; of the defeats of the Alms and Inkerman, and, as a climax, the loss of Sevastopoy and the destruction of the Russian fleet. In the midst of it all, as is ever the case in Russian wars, came utter collapse in the commissariat department; everywhere one heard hints and finally detalled stories of scoundrelism ir high places; of money which ought to have been appropriated to army sup plies, but which had been expended at the gambling tables of Homburg or ir the Breda quarter at Paris. Then it was that thers was borne in upon me the “conviction that Russia powerful as she seems when viewed from the outside, is anything but strong when viewed from the inside. To say nothing of the thousand evident weak aad afterward, and of the Americans in the civil war of 1861. certainly many noble characters in Russia, and these must have felt deeply the condition of things: but there being no great middle ciass, and the lowe class having been loag Kept in besotted ignorance, there seemed no force of ' which patriotism could take hold—The Century, Mad Seen Forty-two Revolutions.
