THE STAGE-DRIVER'S STORY.
Hats we a very hard ride before
as to-night, driver P"
Maddline, ma am. You d better

You've nothing to fear up here, ma'am.
Aside from the danger of sea-sickness
which you'll miss by being in the open

hind wheels of the old coach spring
over the rocks like a whip-cracker.

spinal column will be telescoped be

one jolt, and then it's all over till the
next one."
I shuddered involuntarily. Not that

for five hundred miles eastward, accom

I had also crossed the plains with teams
before railroads were, occupying six
months in the transit from Omaha to
Oregon City, a Journey full of incidents

out upon the wide expanse of sage and
grease-wood that lay in a spiritless

which would have astonished my
gracious liege nad ne but witnessed it,
lor ne always deems it necessary to i
siat me in and out ol a private carnage

All set, ma'am?" asked the driver.
Yes; thanks."
The ladies of the Overland hotel were
congregated on the front stoop of the
second story; and, as the driver, with a
peculiarly graceful flourish of his long
whip that ended in a snapping report
like tne explosion ol a mammoth Chi
nese cracker, started the six sorrels
into an eighteen-mile stampede throup-h
the ashlike plain, I looked back to an

aforesaid, and in so doing lost my bal

precarious perch. Had I so fallen this
story had not been chronicled, for the
horses' heels would have finished tha
work of demolition that the lumbering
coach would have then and there in

From my hotel window in Boise dry.
I had several times observed the Boise
River bridge, and was much surprised
when we came to a ferry where we pro
ceeded to cross in a little clumsy boat.
Peering through the thickening twi-
lient, i saw, away about two hundred
yards to the right of us, the ghostly
frame-work of the bridge I had seen
from tne window; and tnere it sat, high
and err amour sand and boulders.

bed had shifted to its present channel.

as chary of his words as though in the
nabit oi retailing them at a dollar apiece.
a looKed and marveled. There was
something both solemn and ludicrous
in tbe ghostly bridge, and our present
effort to cross the stream in a boat be
low it.
"The river looks little and harmless
enough now, but you ought to have
seen it when it plowed this channel,"
added the driver, cloeine his lips and
tightening the ribbons as he again made
artistic flourishes with his obedient
whip.
"Please tell how it came about."
said I, gazing earnestly at the ghostly
bridge, and anxious to beguile tne time
by conversation upon some theme, of
the nature of which I did not much
care, so it had some sort of bearing
upon we roaa ana lis adventures.
"Nothing to tell, ma'am. Every

it plows through 'em. The piers of
that bridge were too broad and too
close together. The water wanted its
level; the bridge wouldn't give way and
the soil did. It's clear enough how't
came aDouc."
Heartily ashamed of my own ver
dancy, and fully conscious that I would
henoeforth appear, in the estimation of
that sagacious driver of stage teams, as
a person of remarkably limited talents
of observation, I settled myself as best
I could in the lofty outside seat of the
clumsy vehicle, and on we went, bump
ing, crashing. Danging, careening,
sometimes holding to the side straps
with a nervous clutch, as the coach
threatened to npset endwise upon the
norsea nauncnes. and again cracking
my spinal column in the region of my
neck by being thrown backwards with
out warning as a sudden change in the
inclination of the road sent us up in
stead 91 down nui.
After many miles of travel over the
arid plain, our road changed from a
comparatively level to a positively
mountainous one. Horses were cn an ged
every twelve or eighteen miles, but the
driver kept on; and for hours we toiled
along over rocks and ridges on tne
margin of the zigzag heights, with only
a few spare inches of rocky roadway
between us and eternity.
About midnight we reached the sum
mit of a mountain overlooking the
exeat Idaho basin. The moon was
shining with a brilliance never equaled
in tne vaney oi tne mississippi wuuro
the atmosphere is not tempered by
mountain ranees. Afar, before and be
low us the long line of dusty roadway
unrolled itself like a silver ribbon. Be
yond the road, beyond the near-by bills,
and far away, beyond the nearer
mountains of Idaho, rose the grand
ridge of Alturas, while nestled at its
feet the purple timber pointed with its
countless spires toward the snow-
crowned heights which smiled their
greetings in the mellow moonbeams.
Behind us, in the far distance, lay
the rivers Payette, Weiser and Boise
gleaming like threads of molten moon
light among the sage and grasses,
while away, away in the distant foot
hills. Snake River ran, looking like a
monster anaconda as it wound its tor
tuous lengths through the ghostly soli
tudes. Boise City lav asleep in the shadows
and a few lazy midnight clouds hov
ered above the church spires as if to
protect them from intrusive eyes.
"What a beautiful night P" I ex
claimed in transport, as I rose to a half
standing posture, irom wnicn i was
suddenly surprised by a lurch of the
stage-coach, which for the second time
since the night ride began, came near
landing me upon my head.
The driver caught the lines nervous
ly, as with a sudden awakening he
started the horses on the down grade
upon a tight run.
' It was just such a night as this,
only hotter, when my hay was burned
on the ranch about sixty miles from
Downieville, he said, and again re
laDsed into silence.
I wanted very much to ask about that
conflagration, but the remembrance ef
the Boise bridge intimidated me, so 1
only said: "This would be a grand
night to burn a hay harvest. The air's
as dry as tinder and lighter than luci
fer matches. I wish I could see a gen
uine pyrotechnic display among these
wilds ef nature."
You needn't ever make a wish like
that, ma'am; and 1 guess you wouldn't
if vou'd bad my experience."
I half suspected that the driver's
growing loquacity had been induced by
the shy and rather frequent use of a
mysterious flask, of which I could only
see an outline, as he held it to his
mouth under the cover of a soiled ban
danna. Then, too, when the mountain
breeze sprang up, making - the' chill
night air pierce my lungs like a knife,
he had insisted that I should wrap my
mouth and throat in a shawl which he
carried for such purposes, and which I,
after a slight trial, relinquished making
the excuse that I was warm enough,
though in reality I was chilling uncom
fortably; but the smell of whisky upon
that shawl was not like the attar of roses.
' I had as good a home and as true a
motner in xork. state as ever blessed an
ungrateful son, ma'am. 1 was young
and passable looking, and. as mr fa
ther nad a good farm and was consid
ered forehanded by those who Knew
him best, my prospects were average to
Bay the least. - Uet up, there, beauties:
I'll stretch the ribbons and yanK your
mouths if you don't step sure!"
The norses pricked their ears, and
presume " stepped sure," for the
threatened "vankintr" did not trans
pire; and the driver, again helping him
self to a draught from tne mysterious
depths of his dirty bandanna, pro
ceeded with bis story.
"Molly Winters was a pretty girl.
Her eyes were as clear and blue as the
sky over ' Alturas, yonder; and you
wouldn't have thought there was any
thing on earth but constancy in 'em.
She was deuced smart too. 1 never see
the girl that could beat her at a churn
ing or a washing; and she could make
bread equal to my own motner. i
loved her, and we were engaged, and I
thought everything was right, and was
going on in tne old way. contented and
doing well enough, as I thought, when
who should come home from Califor
nia but Hez. Rankin, my cousin, a snob
by sort of stuck-up specimen, and what
should Molly do but cut me clean and
marry mm. ue was rich, and mat was
what did it; and he made his fortune in
the gold mines; so I thought the most
desirable thing left lor me, since l
couldn't have Molly, was a gold mine.
" My mother didn't want me to leave
home. I was the baby, and she'd have
died for me. Aiotners are always true,
wives and sweethearts never."
" I wouldn't slander my own mother
in that way if I were you, Mr. Kankin,
Was not your mother your father's
vritel and wasn's she his sweetheart
oncef
"I beg pardon, ma'am. There may
be exceptions. At least there was one
exception in my mother."
" And in mine, too," said L.
" And in yourself, doubtless. But, as I
was saying, I was determined to have
gold, and plenty of it. I little thought that
I'd fetch np at last at the end o' these
ribbons, with forty dollars a month and
night drives and all the hardships of a
frontier castaway tnrown in."
You were saying something about
a conflagration on a nay ranch near
Downieville," said I, anxious to change
tne subject.
Well, yes, that teas a fire! You see.
Sam Withers and I had been nrosDect-
ing at Red Bluff and hadn't raised the
color lor a monin or more, ana gruo
got low, and winter came on, and we
weathered it through on mule straight,
which isn't a very palatable dish, but
all things considered is better than
nothing, by a long odds.
" I wasn't lucky as a miner; I wasn't
lucky as a marrying man; I wasn't
lucky as a hay farmer, and I've never
succeeded yet at anything but driving
stage. Everybody strikes their level
sometime, and l ve hit mine at last.
" You must have encountered many
embarrassing vicissitudes before you
settled in this nicne," said l.
Well, r d say I had. Sam and I
got through the winter by the very skin
of our teeth. I had four mules and
sixteen horses left, for I'd been a pack
er till the process proved too slow, then
1 went a-pros pec ting and reached a
slower gait than ever, and so I said to
Sam, Suppose we go down into the
Nokolume Tlat and take a hay ranch.
There's money in it, and we'll nerd the
Indians and their horses off the wild
grass till it matures and then we'll get
Greasers and Kanakas to harvest it; and
we'll have the mules and horses to pack
it through to Downieville when it's
baled, and then we'll make some
money.
" Sam agreed, and I sold my two best
American norses and bought grub, and
hired the Greasers, and we guarded the
hay, and when mowing time came I
worked with the rest of 'em, day and
night. I was ragged and bronzed and
dirty as ever you see a fellow, but I
looked forward to clean profits and a
Duea snm in tne fail, and so I stood it.
The hay was all cut and cured, and the
men were baling it and waiting to be
paid on wnen we'd make some sales
after the first pack train of it would be
sold in Downieville, and I had been oft
to a ranchene . for more grub. It al
ways costs like the very dickens to feed
Greasers, you know."
I did not know, but wisely concealed
my ignorance.
The day had been a mortal hot one.
Some suspicious-looking Vaqueroes had
been lurking in the vicinity for a week
or two, and I didn't feel altogether easy
in my mind, ana one night 1 waked
with a stifling sensation as if I was
smothering in smoke, but I didn't mind
it, though it's since clear to me it was
a warning.
" I'd been off all dav with one of the
mules after grub, and I'd been delayed
a ntue, ana wnen i got back to camp it
was night, though it was light, like day,
as it is now, almost, and the men were
messing by a camp-fire, and I knew
something was wrong the minute I came
in sight.
Uuess what s upf says Sam, and
I could tell by his pale face that there
was trouble.
The hay's burned,1 says L
How d'ye knowr' says he.
Felt it in my throat,' says I, and
as sure as I bold these ribbons 1 did
feel it in my throat at that minute, like
the smoke of a burning haystack, ex-
activ.
I did not question the peculiar sensa
tion.
What are you going to do now?1
says Sam.
' Liet her npr says 1. Excuse me.
madam," and the man made a bow in
the moonlight that would have done no
discredit to a Beau In ash; excuse me.
but that s the slang of the road."
" All right," said I, " please proceed,
I am deeply intetested."
liet er rip, says I, and Sam ripped
out some awful oaths. IMot that be
swore as a general thing. Ue had to
be awfully worked up before he'd swear.
" ihen the Greasers and the Kanakas
wanted their pay, and there was nothing
to pay 'em, and they're ugly devils
when they're stirred up; so things
looked blue. The Vaqueroes had
tramped with the horses, and we had
left only the one pack mule I'd had
away after grub.
I'll sell the mule and the men may
- - .w .
divide the price among 'em, if they'll
call it square, says 1.
" Agreed.' says they, and there hap
pened to come along t prospector whose
mule had a sore back, and he gave me
a hundred dollars for the only hoof the
pillagers had left me. ' The Greasers
and Kanakas divided the money, leav
ing Sam and me without a red of it.
as fate would nave it, sam w ltn-
ers struck luck right away, for the fel

.Never mind me, sam, says
though I did think a little hard of him
that he seemed ready to abandon me in
my sorest streak. But I would have
died before he should have known how
miserably used up 1 did feel, txuess
was born nnder an unluckv star, for
I've never had any good fortune, ex
cept as a stage-driver.
" well, l went to uowmevnie. un
my way a wagon overtook: me, and
had a bundle of ciotnes, tne oniy tning
under the sun 1 had left, and I gave
them to the teamster to carry in the
wagon over to town and leave 'em at
the hotel.
Then I trudged on. It was night
again; lust such a night as this, mad
am, and I had only fifty cents the
price of the plainest meal was a dollar
and I didn't know where to go, or
what to do. I've wandered a long way
from religion, ma'am, but I remem
bered the Scripture and realized what
it meant as applied to my case at least
when it said: The foxes have boles.
and the birds of the air have nests, but
the son of man hath not where to lay
his head. "
"That was Jesus," said L timidly.
' It was me, madam, that night, and
for several nights after, as sure as
you're born."
i aid not controvert lurtner, and ne
continued his story.
1 went up to two or three dinerent
men when morning came and asked for
work. Appearances were ag'm me,
ma'am. I hadn't changed, or shaved,
or washed, or brushed for two months,
and tiro scallawag who took my bundle
on to Downieville hornswaggled it."
"What?"
" Stole it,ma' am. Beg pardon. It's the
slang of the road. So I had nothing to
eat, no place to sleep, and nothing to
wear. I bought me hfty cents' worth
of crackers, and spent all my capital.
I ate sparingly, 6trolled idly through
the town by day, slept in an old stable
at night, and woke every morning hall-
frozen. My rations were reduced to
three crackers a day. I couldn't look
anybody in the face. 1 felt woinsn, and
I believe I was wild."
Here his eyes glared upon me, and I
could see by the paling of the harvest
moon that daylight was dawning, else
I should have been badly frightened.
1 Do you know what 1 resolved to do
next r said ne.
Commit suicide?" I asked.
"No; it's strange, but I really didn'
think of that. I meant to wait till dark
and then go and rob somebody's house
And I'd have done it, ma'am, but for a
woman! She saved me. You see, Mrs.
Chatham was keeping hotel at Downie
ville, and I'd often patronized her when
I had money, but now for three days
I'd been skulking past her house like a
famished wolf because I was dead
broke. I was walking aimlessly along
the street just after I d resolved to com
mit burglary, when she ran over from
the porch and said: 'Mr. Rankin, is
that youP Come over here.
" What do you want?' says I.
" I want you to come and stop at
the hotel like a gentleman.
But I've no money.
" That's no difference.
" Nor no good clothes.
" ' Brother Jack has clothes, plenty
of them. Come right along.'
" I forgot that I was bent on burgla
rizing, and I was soon hid away in the
bath-room, scrubbing off the accumu
lated dirt and arranging myself in
Jack's clothes.
" When I came to the dining-room
the widow asked me to sit at her table,
and introduced me to Jack. He proved
to be a fine fellow. He gave me em
ployment, and I was soon in comforta
ble circumstances, the only trouble be
ing that I would take too much liquor
now and then, which, when Mrs. Chat
ham discovered my failing, caused her
to set me afloat again, and so I'm des
tined to be a drunken stage-driver for
the rest o' my days."
" But can you not break off the habit?"
What good would that do ? I never
get drunk when on duty, and when I'm
off I drink to kill memory."
" But, would it not be well to go
home to you're dear mother in York
State, and make her declining days
happy? You don't imagine how de
votedly she loves you."
"It's too late, ma'am. Besides, my
cousin married Mollie Winters, and the
sight of the old place would waken old
memories, and drive me deeper than
ever into drink. There's no more stage
driving in York, and I wouldn't do any
thing else; so I'll fight it out on this
line to the end of the swing."
"What of the hereafter?" I could
not help saying.
" r 11 never find a hotter hell than
this!" he answered, striking his breast;
" and I can stand this, so I'll risk the
other."
It was early morning now, and we
drove up to a lonely station in the midst
of an arid desert, where a pale woman
with a fretful baby prepared us a hasty
breakfast.
Rankin ate a tew mouthfuls and ex
cused himself. When next 1 mounted
the box he had disappeared and a new
driver took his place.
"Is this the terminus of Rankin's
line?1 saidL
" No; not when he's sober, but he
takes periodical sprees, and I'll do
double duty till he gets over this one
rather than have him discharged.
Don't report him, please. There never
was a better-hearted fellow; and if the
old man knows of this spree he'll be out
of a job. Many a poor fellow that goes
to the bad is more sinned against than
sinning."
The " old man" thus alluded to was
the gentlemanly superintendent of the
line, and knowing him as I do, I could
readily comprehend why it was that it
was well understood among all the em
ployes that the dissipation of any driver
when on duty would be met with
prompt dismissal should the facts be
known at " headquarters.''
fetag-e drivers are always generous
with each other. Their life is a hard
and responsible one, and I often won
der how many letter writers, and maga
zine and newspaper readers, ever stop
to think of the hardships of these men
in transmitting the mails from post
to post, across the continent. If
there are degrees of exaltation in
the great hereafter, where merit meets
its just reward, faithful stage-drivers
will occupy some very high seats, de
spite) their temptations and falls. Abi

Journal.
A Virginia Ice Mountain.
The ice mountain of Preston County
is a great natural curiosity. We passed
over the Baltimore & Ohio Road on the
22d to Rowlesburg, then by steam
three miles up Cheat River past Vicks-
burg, and came out upon the .North
western pike. Following it two miles
west we came to the ice mountain, situ
ated on the right bank of Flag Run,
one-half mile from the pike. A picnic
party was being held at the base of the
mountain. After refreshing ourselves
with a very cold drink of water from
the Twin Springs, we ascended the
mountain for some distance and ar
rived at the ice field, where we found
Drs. Kerable, West, Shafer and Schoo
ley contemplating the wonder. Also a
newspaper man or two taking in the
situation.
It is claimed that the ice mountain
was discovered by some soldiers in the
spring of 1861. Its discovery was after
ward reported again, but persons sup-
Eosed the discoverer was only trying to
oax some one into making a fruitless
trip into the mountain. No credence
was given to the story until lately, when
responsible parties visited the desig
nated locality of its existence, and re
ported its actual discovery. . On the
north side of the mountain, about a
quarter of an acre is covered with a
mass of loose, unstratified rock, none of
which are of any considerable size.
All was covered with a heavv mass of
moss, which now is all torn off. No
trees grow upon it, only here and there
a few small bushes. Removing the
loose rock, ice is discovered in small
quantities. A thermometer stood nine
ty degrees in the sun, eighty degrees
. . l i 3 i m t ' . . J
in tne suauo auu iorty-eignt ueerees
when placed in the rocks, on the ice in
their crevices. A cold air is present in
tne crevices, but no strong freezing cur
rents as reported. Hundreds have
visited it. The rocks are torn up and
the ice is only obtained now by going
down some little depth in the rocks.
We would suppose from observation
that the mountain is mostly a vast heap
of rock, a portion of whose west side is
more broken and loose than the rest.
The porous nature of this portion would
admit through its moss covering a con
siderable amount of water, infiltrating
between the stone, would form ice in
just the manner we find it. The ice
thus formed would be protected from
all external temperature by the non
conducting properties of the vast sur
rounding mass of rock. The ice
mountain, we would suppose, is noth
ing but a huge natural stone refriger
ator.
The common refrigerator depends
for its preservation of ice upon the
good non-conducting materials of its
sides. So the ice mountain but natu
rally, thouo-h wonderfully, preserves,
permanently, its ice, by the vast mass
of rock -good non-conducting material
which forms its sides.
An ice mountain, similar in a good
many respects to this one, is in Hamp
shire County, on North River, a few
miles east of Romney. Divesting the
Preston County ice mountain of its
marvelous character that exaggerated
accounts have given it, it stands a won
derful, but plainly possible result of
natural laws. Cor. Wheeling Register.
Sol's Defects.
A large group of sun spots has re
cently appeared upon the solar disc It
is described as long and very deep,
with umbra and penumbra dark and
well defined. These spots are probably
the forerunners of a change in the con
dition to be anticipated about these
daya. The sun has been quiescent for
years; few spots have varied the monot
ony of his surface, and few flaming
bres have burst beyond the bounds of
his photosphere. He has been passing
through the minimum epoch of sun
spots," and is now approaching the
maximum of the same phase. No as
tronomer pretends to explain the exact
nature and mission of sun spots, but
the most reliable observers agree that
they appear in the greatest magnitude
and abundance after an interval of
about eleven years, at a period coin
cident with the perihelion of the planet
Jupiter, wbose near approach to the
sun stirs up an intense commotion
among the solar fires. As the peri
helion of our brother planet occurs in
September of next year, and the three
outer planets, by a very unusual com
bi nation of forces, are doing their best
to help on his malignant purpose, it is
natural to expect unusual commotion
among celestial powers for two or three
years to come. Just such a condition
of affairs occurred about two thousand
years ago, but the earth safely weath'l
ered the gale, and has passed un
harmed through many a terrific ele
mental experience since. Therefore
sun-spots by the hundreds, tongues of
bre darting in rosy protuberances, brill
iant auroras flashing in response to
solar electricity, and every form of
warring elements which can agitate the
tere8tial atmosphere, are naturally to
be expected about these times. A wise
philosopher will bear up under storms.

Western New York Antiquities.
A gentleman who accompanied Gen
eral Clark on his journey over the line
of General Sullivan's march makes
mention, in the Seneca Falls Couiier,
of a series of intrenched inclosures in
the counties of Schuyler and Tompkins,
and a short distance northeast of Meck
lenburg. The first inclosure is describ
ed as being on the county line between
Schuyler and Tompkins, on a knoll be
tween two small ravines, on the south
bank of a stream emptying intoTag
hanic Creek. The ground plan of the
inclosure is circular. The second in
closure is about half a mile south of
Perry City, on rising ground near the
east bank of Taghanie Creek. It is es
timated that the inclosure contains
about six acres. A third inclosure is
in the town of Ulysses, Tompkins Coun
ty, a short distance from the county
line, and about two miles north of in
closure No. 2. This fortification is on
high ground, between Bolter and Tag-
name ureeks. l"art of this inclosure is
covered by forest, and the line of the
earth-work is very distinct, although
overgrown with immense forest trees.
it is believed that tne earth-work pro
tected but half the inclosure, while the
other .part of the circle bristled with
palisades.
Tne writer, who examined the local
ity with General Clark, is inclined to
the belief that those fortifications were
the work of a race which occupied the
region before the Iroquois. One ground
of his conclusion is the apparent age of
the trees growing upon the earth-work
These trees are estimated to be at least
200 years old, with a probability that
still earlier growths had perished on
the same spot. Trees, however, are
very deceiving. The inclosures are also
said to correspond with those of the
mound-builders in the West, while there
is a similarity between the implements
and ornaments found in Tompkins
County and those dug from the mounds
of the West. The relics found about
the forts in Schuyler and Tompkins
County will be deposited in the rooms
of the Waterloo Historical Society,
where a more critical examination can
be made. The relics taken from inclo
sure No. 1 include a copper dagger or
spear head, which answers to the de
scription in Foster's " Prehistoric Races
of the United States." A copper Knue
was also found. It is urged that when
the Iroquois were first discovered they
had no knowledge of working copper.
The stone implements are said to com
pare well with those found in Western
mounds. Among the relics is a sculp
tured image bearing figures resembling
those of ancient Jgypt. . All the relics
are said to differ widely from the rude
implements belonging to the Iroquois.
were it not for tne rencs xounu in
the inclosures in Tompkins and Schuy
ler Counties, they might be safely cred
ited to the Iroquois, for - the Seneca
country was well fortified in the seven
teenth century, as Denonville found
when he landed at Irondequoit Bay, in
the year 1687, and beseiged a palisaded
fort of the Senecas on a hill near v ictor.
At that time the Iroquois believed in
fortification, although they were more
accustomed to bush nghting. Most oi
the inclosures found on the hills of Cen
tral and Western New York are the
work of the Iroquois, who fortified
against the French under Denonville
and Count Frontenac. Rochester Dem

Keep a Few Sheep.
Does it occur to farmers ordinarily,
that they could add a few sheep to the
stock already upon the farm without
lessoning the amount of ieea set apart
for the latter. Do farmers consider the
unnecessary degree to which they con
fine themselves to salt meats? After
the freezing winter season is over it is
not practicable, away from a full sup
ply of ice, to keep fresh meats about
the house for more than a day or so.
Mutton is well known to be the easiest
of any to keep in hot weather. If farm
ers would more - generally keep a few
sheep, they would, by exchanging
favors, killing alternately, keep each
others tables supplied with fresh meal
during the summer months.
On some farms and these are not a
few the only dependence for a change
from smoked meat, or otherwise pork
from the barrel, is upon the good wife's
stock of poultry. This stock, which
has come from a good deal of watchful
care and labor usually, would answer
her a good turn, if permitted to market
durin? the season, in connection with
her butter and lesser products. But
owing to the absence of other sources
of sudpIv in the way of fresh meats,
when harvest and threshing time comes
or visitors drop in, a raid is made upon
thn vnnno o-rowino" stock of Poultry.
the best are selected, and little by little
the wife's visions of diverse and sundry
things to come of Bales in the early fall,
vanish.
Sheep, ignored and despised by the
average farmer, sheep well bred, with
a view to tendency to fattening and ear
ly maturity, will eat around in the fence
corners and by places, localities neglect
ed or avoided bv other larger stock, and
on such feed shunned by the cow and
the horse they will fatten, making at
any and at all times, whether it be in
spring, mid-summer, fall or winter, the
very best and most wholesome flesh in
use upon the table. For dinner upon
the farmer's table, during harvest, or
at any other tame nothing is more ap
propriate, healthy and palatable than
bowl of well-made mutton soup, with
crackers or light bread, accompanied
with a slice of the meat, well-cooked
and duly seasoned. This, with the usual
vegetables, forms a meal easily pre
pared, and so nearly fills the bill that
the most simple and inexpensive dessert
completes the requirements. This for
to-day, with a bit of roast for to-morrow,
ham or pork the third day, ena
bles the farmer' 8 wife to break in upon
the monotony, so common, and liable
to be so tedious to the housewife pos
sessed of average ambition, and so irk
some to all, whosetastes, and the wear
and tear of whose muscles, exposed to
the daily strain of farm labor, required
to be studied.
These are the views we set out to ad
vance, not thinking to bring arguments
to show that there is money pront in
keeping sheep. The common verdict
for some years past, has been, that
there is, in general terms, no profit in
farming. The farmer keeps a pair of
farm geldings for the mere work there
is in them, so there are various things
kept, not with a view to figuring the
profit as the merchant does this upon
a yard of cloth or a pound of tea, but
because the various movements upon
the farm and within the house cannot
be carried on in a becoming manner if
these things are omitted. What a man
his hired help, and his family eats, has
a question of palatableness involved.
as well as the question of building up
the muscles that a full day's work may
be done. On these prepositions it pays
to keep sheep, equally as it pays to
have the oat bin well filled when you
start in with your teams for a heavy
season's work. But we think a flock of
sheep kept away from the worthless
neighborhood dogs at night if reason
ably well bred, will, in view of the na
tural increase, the product of wool and
bide upon bis back, ana tne inciaenuu
value of the pounds of meat upon his
carcass, whether these be consumed
upon the farm or in town or city, will
pay equally with any other stock upon
the farm. Whether they will or not, in
view of the value and availability of the
meat in the ways stated, hundreds of
sheep should now be kept in townships
where not one is now seen.
