- Wind Dropsy in Sheep. : - Sheep are not unfeequently suﬁ'urers‘ from wind dropsy. The kymptoms,.causes, and degree of danger dre like those’ of| winddropsy in cattle, Ib is most frequent-| ly produced by the exgessive eating of young clover and other green fuod, espec | lally if it is wet from rdin or dew, 2nd by grazing on stuble fields| As long as the ‘djstension of the stoma¢h is only on the left side, there is no dapger; but if the other gide also becomes|distended, death may result.. In mild cases the following treatment is adopted: The distended p:n‘ta of the stomach is stropgly pressed and kneaded with the hands, which often causes repeated eructations and removes all danger. The sheepfis led by a rope of straw.ioto a pond, or, if|pessiblé, into cold Itunning water, and thep kept in moderate motion. If no improvdment takes place, a thin tabe, provided with a small lmttmL of wood or linnen, is iftroduced into the stomach through the miputh, which canses the air to escape in large quantity. Internal remedics arg beneficixl, as, for example, & teaspoonfullof burnt lime and water every ten or fifteen minutes, threelfourths of d pint of soap suds, or a teajepoonful of mustard with brundy, cte. Indéed, a'l-the remedids given to catile against this disease apply bere, but only one third or one fourth' the quantity is given to cattle under gjmilar circnmstan - ces. -If the disease rups very high, the saMe Sy Mproms appear| as in cattle, and death follows not unfrefyuently from burst ing of the stomuch, Ip such cases punct uring of the belly is [the only rémedy, which is performeéd in ¢ssentially the sanje manner as for cattle. [The trochar to be ‘used for sheep is four jnches long and ps thick 88 a medium sizqd guill. Atfter g moving the worl it ig plunged into the ‘most distended part of the body. When the gases have escaped| the trochar should be removed, because it is injurious to the avimal if it remains tdo long. ‘ The operation easily| becrmes dangerons In sheep, wiuch are miore irritable thain cattle. Nevertheless it is ofcen the only ‘means of saving the apimal, and shoald always be performed fwhen there is dan - -ger, because it may saye the patient in a majority.of cases. If| no trochar is at hand, a pen knife, or ¢ther narrow, cutting instrument, may be employed, altho’ with less advantege. | After muking an incision a thin tube is| inserted into the opening. The wound|heals’of itself, and may, if necessary, be cpvered witha little far. . o After the gases have escaped, ruminja‘tion generally retuins| immediately, and with it thé appetite. A scanty and spar ing diet at firct, and galt licks, with the additicn ot bitter rempdies, snch' as worin: wood, calumus, &c., v} (ar,-OIL OF Lurpgu tine, &c, complete the cure.— American Beck Journal.

Who Should Keep Bees ? L I say all. All that| possess arod square of land thould keep hees ; yes, and 1t you lack that rod, you ghould or'can kiep. them. I know ofsome who own no lind and still they keep begs. If you reside in the city full or country sparse ; if you are on the mountain toge or in tho vald; if you are a mechanic jor a farmer ;if you are a lawyer or a preacher; if you jare rich or walk in poverty’s vale, youcan afford to keep bees. | The farmer is very saitably located to keep bees, having a sufficient range in hjs pastures, orecharde and all other flowerjng plants and trees. He will find more profit with the least labor bestrowed than|in any other branch or department of his|farm. The, mechanic ' cap also, with a little time and labor, supply his own storehouse. If he works in wood so much tbe better, he can make bis own hives :and alsp be may, perchance, getl a job ‘to make his neighbar’s. The merchant or professional man, for they, too, will find bee keeping a healthyzand pleasant outdoor pastime. There is this one great advantage about bee keeping—it is no difference whether you own a foot of land or not—you have a free pasturage for your bees.” | | Mr. Kilpatrick, in the Ohio Agricul tural Report, says many persons who are unfit for any hard fabor will make good bee keepers, such ap the aged, lane or deformed of both sexes, who can alsp obtain from this pursuit a good, independ ent living and to all such we say keep bees with care, they need no feed, they tncrease rapidly, and) their prpduce brings & good price.— N O. Mitehell.

~ February Harm-Work, | Take care of thestock, especially the young animals and the work teams, These last should be kept in good heart, exer efsed regularly, and in such condition _and training that, if spring opens early, " they can do effective service without suffering. Put all jmplements and tools . in good order. It|is poor économy of time to be obliged to fix up things just when you want to uge them. Plan%perations for the year, | Settle on a gnod Totation of crops. Leave nothing undecided that can be planned|béforehand. Systematize every-thing hs far &s possible, A good packer can put twice as much ina trunk a 8 & poor ope; and so a farmer, . who plans bis work|well, can accomplish ‘twice as much as ope who goes on ina slipshod, heedless, | uncalculating way. Weigh well the manure question. If you decide to buy fertilizers, look about you well, and be sure ypu get value for your money. Order such seed as may be required in good time, and deal with responsi. ble, trustworthy mep, who have a charac ter at stake in their business.. |lf you have never kept farm accounts, begin now. Pay your year's subscription to agricultural and other journals, A paper read on tick is not/half o interesting as it is when you own it. e Tae Ohio Wool4Growing Association recently resolved that it'would be expedi ent for those intercsted “to take initiatory means toward getting up a nationa’) sheepherd book,” and a committee was appoint.ed to consider the plan and present the same at the next meeting at Mansfield.

Does Breeding Short-Horns Pay? . Lexington (Ky). Observer and Reporter, . We doubt whether there is any species of breeding that pays so well as that of raising- fashionable short horn cattle, We bave here, in & country admirably adapt ed for them, animals which have been brought here from Engli.nd, purchasea there at almost fabulous prices, and brought here at an equally great expense. ~The question arises, does 1t pay to bring these cattle Lere? Let us take an instance: - Louan the.Fifteenth, sold by Jerry Duncan to Wm. Richardson of this county, for §7OO, several yearsago. The price was then cousidered - exorbitant.— But let us look at the resnlt. Mr., Richardson has sold two of her produce at obe time for $1,750. ! Her first calf wasa bull, and, not admiring him, Mr. Richardson made a bullock of him and sold bim for $ll5, and would not to-day take $5.000 for what is left of her produce. What she may produce in the fature, of course, time alone will show. - ; Take another instance: Mr, Richard: son bought at public sale, Phoebe Taylor, for $4OO. He re sold her to Mr. Kissenger, of - Missouri, for $2,000, and that gentleman sold ber first calf for $BO9. cslet us.take still apother: Loudon Duchess 2d, a beautiful prize animal, the property of Wm. 'Warfield. ' Her first calf, Loudon Duke 34, sold for $250, and we doubt if he could be bought now for $2,500. We quote her other calves as follows: Loudon Duke 6th, sold for §l, 500, and his present owner has refused $4,000 for him. Loudon Duchess the 6ch, sold for §52,025, and Loudon Dachess the Bth, for $2,500. According to this state ment, Loudon Duchess has produced five calves, from which ber owner has realized and been offered £9,275. Several of those! which he eold were afterwards sold for nearly doublethe amount realized by him, L : i The thoughtful reader will need no mbre illustrations; the fact is too evident that breeding short horns aoes pay. = Device for Measui ing Land. - An Towa farmer recommends the following device for measuring land: Také two slats about six feet long, sharpen one end of each, lny them upon a floor like a pair of bpen compasses, 8o that the points shall be exactly five feet six inches apart; now nail the other two ends to gether and a piece across the middie, so that it will look like the letter A, and the measure is finished. To measure land place one point at the starting placg and the other also an the ground in a straight line for destination ; stund alonghide the machine, with one band on top of it ; take one step forward, tip up the point that is bebind. swing it aroupd (from ysu) on thé other point, and et in line.also. A personj in this maaner can measure cor, rectly as fast as hie can walk —three spces make a rod—walk straight without stop ping, count the spaces, divide these by three.and you bave the rods. -

WiaT NoT To Do.—Don't spit on the ftoor ; don’c spit at all, if you can help it. Don’t drom with your fingers. or fect; don't sit with your feet higher thaniyour head ; don’t go with dirty nails; .don’t trim or clean yonr nails in: company; don’t blow your nose at tible; den't make sipping tea or eating soup a vocal exercisé;; don’t eat fast ;. don’t drop orange peel or peach skin on the side walk ; don’t intcrrupt others in conversation; don’t vee profane language; don’t whisper in church or at concerts; don’t pull your watch out in church; don’t sléep in church ; don’t run in debt, but it you da, don’t forget to pay; don’t borrow your neighbor’'s newspaper. -

den Blair—Misrepreseniatioans in Re, gard to His Death. Last week “Vidi,” a correspondent wri ting from our neighboring viilage, Crom well, took occasion to eriticise the treatment bestowed upon the late Ben. Blair by parties residing in this place.. We now give room to the following explana. tory statement of our township trustee, Mr. L. J, Duaning, written in reply to Ctitalu IcCCLIVUS LRDAL WwUiTo ulaue a‘su'-:)ngn the columns of the New Hra: ' Now, Mr. Editor I propose to give you a candid, trutbful and unquestioned statement of the whole transaction: Messrs Jacob Vance and Jacob Long brought “poor old Ben.,” on the Friday stated ; had him comfortably enveloped, stopped in the street, where they all remained until my son was sent to my re sidence to inform me of my official charge’s wants. As soon as tle message was received, I.immediately came down, went to several places t¢ have him-com-fortably cared for;but found Mr. Beazel’s comfortable harpess shop the most convenient—nbt deeming it necessary tohave him conveyed to my residence in a distant part .of town for the short time necessary to procure conveniences for his tranportation. After being carefully carried into the harness shop, coffee sacks and blankets ‘ were spread upon the floor, upon which he was laid and carefully covered. I then called Dr.. Knepper to examine him, who gave bim medicine, also bis professional opinion that it would not endanger his life to be comfortably conveyed tc the Asylum.. Inaddition,—l procured a comfortable two -horse sleigh from Mr. Silas Shebe’s, with Mr. Sylvester "White as driver, and Mr. Daniel Kline as nurse. Mr. Shobe carefully filled the sleigh with good clean straw and spread a double horse blanket thercon ; he was then covered with another double horse blanket, and a large buffalo robe—carefully tucked under him. Both the gentlemen inform me that he was frequently asked if he was comfortable, and they invariably received a satisfactory answer. '

' Gimme a Chaw. cy “ Chewing Gum,” said the storekecper, “ why we sell more of that than of candy, though the sale isn’t quite so good as it was a little while ago.” : “Tls it good to eat? A * “Oh, no; only to chew,” said the man ; “there's a spicy sort of taste %o it;; and then folks get in the habit of chewing, and feel uneasy without something in their mouths, Some folks think it makes the teeth white.” " “Ah! Tl ask the doctor about that,” and so I did. ; : “All nonsense ! said the doctor ; “folks say the same thing about tobacco.” The fact id that the habit of chewing exeites thesalivary glands, and causes an wonatural flow of saliva, injuring the mouth and teeth, and cheating the stomach. So far as the mouth is concerned it 1g Jjust as, bad to chew gum as tobacco, and in fact it naturally leads to it.” “But gum is clean, doctor; it has a pleasant, spicy taste, and tobacco is dirty stuff” “ What do you suppose gum is made of ?” said the doctor with a dreadtul smile, P ‘ “TI know,” said I, triumphantly; “the manufacturer told me, Gum tragacanth, gum arabie;rosin-and fat.” -- - “ Just gO,” sald the doctor, “ now read this,” and he gave me a newspaper slip, and went away, while I read: * The fat used in the manufacture of gum is almost wholly obtained from dead animals, cats and dogs picked up about the streets and alleys, old omnibus horses; in fact any kind of refuse fat.” : My dear ruminating animals, there is somcthing to add interest to the pleasant, spicy taste of your cud, as you muse and meditate over it! I hope you will medi tate to such good purpose that the trade in chewing gum may be ruined foreyer,— Little Qorporal, ' : 5

Sopri BEND, —For business enterprise the ¢ity of South Bend makes & most creditable showing inthe South Bend Tribune, which gives a careful review of ‘trade, business and growth in 1872, To auy one who bas been in the plage nothing need ho caidyof ito atbmaatio. fondmeann, Loosi 2o the styfu of buildings-and the rare quality of its society. It is an ornament whizh adds largely to the good reputation of the State abroad. - But beyond the pleasing effect of its exterfor upon the minds of visitors, the magnitude of its industries on examination strengthens the first tavor able impressions The town is peculiarly fortunate in the citizensnip of such men as Mr. Brownfield, the Studebakers, Stan ley, and men of that stamp, who create activity and inspire healthy enterprise, place them where you will.: According to the Tribune, the agarcq_xté product of manufactures for 1872 was neﬁrly $5,000, 000, employing 2,000 men in 150 establishments devoted to as many different classes of work. The Studebaker wagons have an almost national reputation. They have gone all over the Unton. DBut the most extensive works are those engaged in the manufacture of sesving machines. The work tarned out.from that establishment in 1872 amounted to over $1,000,000.— They turn out 600,000 per annum, or three per minute for each working day. These two illustrations suflice to represent the detailed account which dccupies eight dolumes o,f a large sheet. The improvements of"_l"ast year are carefully estimated at $1,300,000. With such a start, and the best water power in the West, surrounded by a country rich and populous, the future prospects of South Bend are, indeed, brill. fant. :

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ELKHART.— From the Elkhart Review we gather the particulars of a destructive fire which oc curred 1n that place on the night of the 31st ult. The fire was first discovered in a frame building occupied by Geo. Bootsasa confectiovery Store and Restaurant, which soon enveloped the whole building in flames, the inmates barely having time to escape. The fire soon communicated with two adjoining buildiags, variously occupied as & Grocery store, Tailor shop, and family rooms, which were partially or nearly wholly destroyed. The steam engine’ was promptly brought to the scene of action, but owing to the scarcity of water, and the extreme cold weather, was unable to bring a stream to bear upon the flames in time to do much good. We see no estimate made of the total loss, ‘but understand it is partially . covered by insurance. 3

THE demise of Ben. Blair is thus noticed by the Columbia City Post;—“Ben. Blair isdead. He has fallen at- last, as we must all sooner or later; and whas. ever faults he may have possessed, should be now covered 1y the mantle of charity and forgiveness, for he was a melancholy spectacle of human misfortune, whose dethroned reason made him the subject of every man’s pity.”’. ;

PERHAPS the country is sick enough of Congress investigations to demand a surcease of them ; but there is an intima tion that another inquiry will be required. The passage of a bill to quiet land titles in lowa, in the House, the other day, is said to give a large tract of valuable farm. ing land to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, -without a. shadow of equity. Moreover, it is ckarged that money was used to buy the bill through the House. 'We hope this is not true ;if the cbarée has the least substance to it, the investigatiqn must be made.— %, ¥ Tribuns,

How Things are Done in Louisiana ~ There are soize marvelous descrepancies between the returns of the Louisiana election reported respectively by the Warmouth apd Custom House Boards of Canvassers, One of "these is a difference of 4000 in the vote for Governgr McEnary in New Orleans. * How these variations were caused may be seen from the testimony of one of the latter Board, who archly confessed, recently, that he and his associates had no official returns be* fore thém when they made their canvass, and bad counted the bullots of some persons who had never voted. To he sure, these proceedings did not accord with any known lawg of -the Uagited 'States or: Louisiana,-but they were, in the language’ of the witness, “in obedience te the prin. ciples of jnstice,” a kind of privatg code much’ more adaptable than public’ stat . utes.

THE recent canvass is baving sequels; here is ene of them, Mr. Jas. H. Brown, of Philadelphia, runs with the machine. He 1s traly loyal, but be bas the bad habit of forgetting his name and residence on election day. Last October, after voting in his own ward, he strolled over into another and undertook to vote thereasJ. H. Hood, of 917 Chestnut street. He was challenged by the Democratic Tuspector; who knew Hood personally,and also knew Brown. He thereupon: swore in-his-vote without winking, the truly loyal Election Judge poked it intc the box, and Brown, alias Hood, jymped into a carriage and drove.away. The Inspector subsequently procured his arrest ; he wasitried, convict. ed and sentenced to eighteen months in State Prison. This last event happened December 14th. Presicent Grant on the 3d of January pardoned Mr. Brown out, and he is now at liberty. -
