The importaneé of sheep husbandry as one of the “diversified industries” of a small farm is net as fully understeod in this country as it ought to be, although there is apparently a growing appreciation of its value.

Especially is this the case when the soil of the farm, naturally good, has run down in consequence of*bad management. ‘Such land, as repeated ex- periments have clearly demonstrated, can be restored to fertility through the agency ef a flock of sheep with surprising rapidity, and at less cost, probably, than by any other means,

A recent writer es{imates that on a farm suitable for their keeping—that is, where sheep ought to pay a yearly profit of 100 per cent. It would not probably require very careful management indeed, or unusually favorable conditions, to realize so great a return as that. Yet a large abatement from that estimate would stil: leave the raising ef sheep an exceedingly profitable investment. In making husbandry a paying industry

** We fear our friends more than our foes. ” I was behind the scenes sufficient- ly to comprehend what was intended by ‘that cunningly worded phrase. It sim-! ply meant that Don Ramon de Vargos’ was Ayankiaedo—in other words. friend to the American cause, or as seiaad loud demagogues would have prociaime od | him ‘a traitor to his country.” It cid not follow, however, that he was any- thing of the kind. He might have wirh- ed success to the American arms, and still remained a true friend to his country i—not one of these blind bigots whose standard displays the brigand motto, '* Our country right or wrong,” but an enlightened patriot, who desired more to see Mexico enjoy peace and happivess ‘under foreign domination, than that it ‘should continue in anarchy under the iron rule of native despots. What is ‘there in the empty title of independence, without peace without liberty? After all, patriotism in its ordinary sense is ei a doubtful virtue—perhaps neurer to

the feed, and the skill and care bestowed to the flock. There is no money in sheep that are underfed and systematically neglected. Good care and plenty of suit- able food are essential to their welfare, and the man who wisely gives them both will be amply repaid for his pains.

A serious difficulty in all parts ef the country, but especially in the more thickly settled regions, grows out of the vast num- | ber of useless dogs which roain through the fields at night, and play havoc with un- | protected flocks of sheep. One who is un- ‘acquainted with the facts would be aston- ished at the enormous annual loss caused by those canine depredations. But if farmers were bent upon the raising of sheep they would no deubt soon be able, by concerted action, to abate this nuisance. The growing demand for mutton of fine quality and the enlarged facilities for the transportation of animals and meat to the great centres of trade, ought to stir up the minds of farmers of moderate means to the importance of adding this source of profit to those they already possess.

Not a Drummer.

Marshal Woodward, of Fredericton, prides himself on being able to ‘‘ spot” a commercial traveller, ander any disguise ; and the drummers admit as a body that John is about the cutest officer they ever ran against in the Maritime Provinces. (They also say, by the way, that they never have any trouble in St. John, but beard at the best hotela and are treated like gentle- men.) The smartest men make mistakes nowand then, and the Celestia! tax col- lector recently gave himself away. He tracked a suspicious-locking man around town for some time and finally ran him store, where he was caught in the very act of what seemed to be a weighty business transaction. ‘‘ Five doilars, if you please !” exclaimed the Collector. ‘*‘ What fer?’ replied the astonished strange. ‘‘ For doing business in Fredericton sir!” ‘* Do you charge $5 for doing business here, in
