Goltlttii-Footed Sheep. rnE HUMBLE HERO THAT IS TO WORK Georgia's regeneration.—a half MILLION —BEl*.*’E|J THAN A (103.1) MINE —GEORGIA AND PENNSYL VANIA —TEN MILLION ACHES GOING TO WASTE. ! [From the Atlanta Herald.] There is no subject that should more earnestly engage the attention of the people of Georgia than the question of sheep raising. It is the pleasantest, safest, most profitable, i and regenerating culture, that can be devised. We present below, some in- • foresting statistics upon this subject, j nearly half a million sheep. There wore in Georgia, in 18(50, ac cording to tho U. 8. census, 412, bib i sheep. The U. S. census of IS7O, gives the number of sheep in Georgia, as 419,- 4(55. According to the returns of the 1 Tax Receivers, collected under the auspices of this department, the num ber now in the State is 419,323. Tins shows a decrease from 10(50 to I '7O, j of 92,153, nnd from 1870 to 1875, of 100,112 sheep in the State, of a de crease, in fifteen years, of 193, 295, or 39 per cent, decrease during a period in which there should have been 100 per cent, increase. beats a gold mine. The average annual report on the capital invested in sheep m Georgia | is 03 per cent. This presents a very marked contrast between the prohi-s of sliei'p raising and cotton growing. Tho average annual <• ;st per hem! of keeping sheep is only fifty-four cents. In answering to Questions No. 13, the average cost of raising a pound of wool is only six cents, while the average price for which the un washed wool is sold is 331 cents, or 27 J cents not. An average of 74 lambs are raisod for every hundred ewes, notwith standing the ravages of dogs. The average yield of unwashed ■wool to the sheep is 3| pounds, which at 27| cents net, gives an average clear income in wool from each sheep of 94 cents. The average price received for lambs sold to the butcher in Georgia is $1 87. The average price of stock sheep is $2 58 per head. The average price of mutton is re ported at $2 75 per head, 90 per cent, of tho correspondents report dog-; tho principal, and generally, the only ob stacle to sheep husbandry. 100,000 sheep killers. From tho same source from which the number of sheep in the State is .obtained, we learn that there are 99- 415 dogs in Georgia, and that they .destroyed between April Ist, 1874, and April Ist, 1875, 28,725 sheep. May we not find an explanation of the .decrease in number of sheep in tho ..above figures ? The statistics collected by tho Tax Receiver 'seem to coroborate the re ports f these two sots of correspon dents, rinco there are 31 doge for ev ery one hundred sheep, or nearly one to three, Mid sinco these dogs are al lowed to destroy in one year 28,025, -worth $73,752, or 9 per cent of the value of all the slice]) in the State. Notwitbstamflug this loss, tho annual profits are (53per cent. Remove the cause of tho loss, the annual profits will be 72 per cont on the capital at present invested in sheep, and the amount so invested would, in a very few years, be quadrupled, when the clear profits, at the above rates would bo $2,372,(578, per annum—more than tho total receipts into tho treasury of tho Stato in 187-1, and more than one fourth of the Stato debt. the sheep as a fertilizer. At this rate, even the number at present in Georgia will fertilize annu ally 25, 544 acres. \Ve will suppose this area to be planted in cotton, and that without the sheep manure it would produce ■one half of a bale of cotton per acre. ’ho increase on that area would bo 1-A772 U] ns 0 f cotton, worth, at .550 , /' °er bait SO3B, GOO •iiiii ' 1 (Jp'Vrif 2,egAr><vVp>J£\ ns there would* erly ]imtmd,ci,-tl}e inemun’S product lion froinjkp nu; are., ?M.

GEORGIA AGAINST I’K.'&WYLVANtX Mr. David Ayers, of Camilla, Mitchel in Southwestern Georgia, snow never falls and tho ground seldom freezes, and where forest is enacted! f-iHV.I; alive (flips' hi"? sheep—j 51,500 in number—cost him annually fourteen .cents per head, clip throe pounds of unwashed wool,which sells at thirty cents per pound, givir a clear profit of ninety per cent on the - money and labor invested ir**ho . Lands suited to sheep raining cun is purchased in this section of the State| for*from $1 50 to $lO per acre accor-; ding to location. Mr. Ayers dor. no; feed his sheep at any time during the ; year, neither lias he introduced the; improved breeds, using only what is | known as the native sheep. Of course i tho cross of the Spanish merino on i this stock would give better results in l both quantity and quality of wo- i. : These sheep receive little care except j to be gathered up once a year to be sheared and marked. Mr. John McDowell, of Washing- • ton county, Pennsylvania, keep.-. 050, highly improved sheep, which cos annually $1 50 per head to keep them, i He aims to make his wool clip; clear, which averages four pounds of; brook-washed wool per sheep, and ; sold this* year at fifty-six cents per ; pound, or $2 24 for each sheep shear ed; but the last crop cost, on account j of the severe winter, fifteen cents per ; pound, which makes his income per sheep $1 60. His sheep are worth i $3 59 per head, and his net profits’ are forty-six per cont. on tho capital, invested in them. The laud on which Mr. McDowell pastures his sheep is worth abi .it In ly dollars per aero, or fully ton times! the value of that ou which Mr. Ayers’ flocks feed. In other words, Mr. McDowell, in tho tine farming regions of ' . •. p. l vania, must invest, supposing that lie jkoops two sheep to the acre and Mr. Ayers one., live times as much in laid as Mr. Ayers, to make one-half the! profit on the money invested in i sheep. It will thus appear that where sheep husbandry is made a specialty, South ern Georgia has a decided advantage j over Pennsylvania. WHAT IS THE BEST SIIEEP? Mr. Peters has tested th, ‘H; - mish ! Merino, French Ttferin >, Southdown, Oxfordshiro-down, Leicester, A iatic Broad-tail or Tunisian, Improved; Kentucky, Cotswold and native; sheep. i Of these, tho Spanish Merino nnd ! natives proved most profitable, the, other pure breeds proving unhealthy \ with him. He has tested the crosses between the South-down and Cots- 1 wold, South-Down and native, Cots wold and native, and Spanish Merino! and native. The; crosses between tho Spanish; Merino and native, and the ColswGJ and native have proved most profita ble. Of these two crosses he, in coni- j mou with nearly every oilier Georgia ! correspondent, gives tho decided; preference to the cross of the Spanish- j isb Merino and native. BUCKS. One buck in vigorous condition will serve fifty ewes, if allowed to run with i them—more, if kept up and tho ewes j turned out as soon as they have boon j served once. To avoid unnatural ex- 1 ciiemeut and undue worry by running 1 from owe to ewe, and by fightim , each ! buck should if possible, be placed in | separate enclosure, with the owe- in- j tended for him. If an exponc-i . buck is used, and it is desired that he shall; servo a large number of eaves, he may - be kept in a pen into which fifteen or: twenty ewes may bo turned at a tin:,.; Tho brisket of the buck may bo rub bed with Venetian red and -ardor! common lampblack lard. Have Re active shepherd constantly pre-scut,; who, with as little excitement as pos-! siblo, will remove tho ewes as the buck marks them with tho coloring matU , on his brisket. By this means a buck may servo a hundred ewes with as littlo injury to himself, and with as much certainty as to results, as he will fifty when al lowed to run with a flock. Bucks should be fed on oats during the period of their service, under any circumstances. Yearling should not be allowed to serve more than thirty owes. At two years old they may be admitted to full service. THE SHEEP IN SUMMER. Whether sheep-raising be made a factor of mixed husbandry, or a spe cialty, tile herdsman should remom qer that for sheep ‘change is more im portant than range.’ In tho exten sive sheep-walks of extreme or tho wire-grass region of South Geor gia, the Hooks find the necessary change by extending their walk. If they are kept within enclosures, they .should have frequent change of pasture, to secure health and the nec - essary variety of food. If a given number of sheep aro to be grazed upon one hundred acres, they will thrive better if this is divid ed into two fields of fifty acres each, and tho flock alternated monthly be tween them, than if they are allowed to run constantly on the whole area. Besides having fresh shading ground (JlflTf AN, GA., Tiintsim * r , during tho* day, and frdsh bods at night,, there iy;e certain pungent plant ■ which Vi'- to Ali I health of tho sheep, and which bb-' , come exhausted or exterminated on JtfMK TEN MILLION ACRES GOING TO WASTE. *■ There are nbont 10,000,000 acres of practically unoccupied lauds in Geor gia, thtuLmll of whiiih might bp prof itably utffiiftd aS" sheep walks. A vast, region in Southeastern and Southern VHpaj N ttio Safan jnah to flio Chatftiljoochce, is a natu ! nil pasture, on which a million of sheep could bo raised with trifling ex | penso, on the nativo wire-grass which ; grows up luxuriantly, affording excel lent pasturage in summer, and a sub j sistorice on the udermath (which rc | mains green) in winter. The most | valuable spontaneous grass, however, |is the Bermuda, which is peculiarly ; adapted to tho purpose of sheep pos | forage, forming an impenetrable sod of exceedingly nutritious grass, equal j to the bestblue-grass pastures of Ken : lucky, from early spring until frost. |lt will also supply winter pasturage j where partially protected by pine ! trees, under which it remains green i through the entire winter, and is rcl iishedby all kinds of stock, j A sod of Bermuda on lands nn -5 profitable for cultivation, will support , five sheep to the acre for nine months j in the year. There arc other natural grasses j which afford good pasturage during (ho summer months. So much f,r !spontaneous pasturage which wiil ! keep tho sheep in thriving condition i for nine months, and will, in the j southern portion of the State, subsist , them for the other three. Si m USAGE FOB THE W iXTKP.. From tho summer pasture they are ! turned upon the pea fields, from i which tho corn has been gathered, | care being taken to accustom them i I gradually to the consumption of the I ; pea, to prevent injury by overfeeding.; On these they will grow fat, and tie ! ; either ready for the butcher, or for ; ; entrance into tho winter. From the pea field they go to the ! ; cotton field, which was sown in rye | or oats in August or September, and ; is now groan and succulent. These, \ with tho aid of the turnip crop, which ! was also sown in August or Septemr I her, will furnish abundant green food j j until the return of early spring vege- j i tat-ion. If it in desired to reap a bar-1 vest from the grain fields, the tnr- ! 1 nips can be reserved for early spring i feeding, e gr. m, from which a crop ’ Yexpee-e .:!•: n-■ k-- grazed la- j ; ter than the Ist of February. By the employing of movable fence ! j panels .several kinds of which are in j | successful use- -the flock can be hex’d- I od on just suffice nt area of turnips to • j last them twenty-four hours, and this j ] continued until the whole crop is con- | ! slimed. While consuming tho tnr- ! | nips they will heavily fertilize the ; soil.

Tho facts that | have been presented remove all doubt j i as to the profit of sheep husbandry in 5 j Georgia, and present a remarkable j contrast between cotton and wool; growing in the State—the one selling j at less than tho cost of production.; other .at 271 cents profit per pound. A Wedding Postponed. | SIX HUNDRED INVITATIONS AND A SPECIAL | TRAIN OF PALACE CARS. Baltimore, November 19. A : ! YVii.diington letter to the Sun has tho j I following: Very much iterost has been excited ! here by a startling revelation con- j j corning a young real estate operator, ! connected with one of the most ro i spcctablo and opulent families in the - city. The young gentleman, who, it I was thought, had been remarkably | successful in business, and was rep j uted to be amassing a large fortune, was eiigagbct to be married to the daughter of One of tho richest gen tlemen of Loudoun connty, Virginia, amt tho wedding day was fixed for yesterday. It is stated also that there were GOO invitations issued, and a special train of palace ears was engaged for tho guests from this city. A fow days since, however, it was dis-1 eoverded that the constat display and i the lavish expenditures for which tho j young gentleman had become noted were based upon money oljtained by tho forgery of the namo of his expect ed father-in-law. The amounts ob tained are variously estimated from $(i,000 to $30,000. The marriage has been announced as “off.” The father of the young man has made conveyances of read estate to secure tlm payment of the forged paper, and no criminal prosecution will grow out of tho transa ctiou. A rat which was caught and severe-1 ly bitten bv a cat the other day in Detroit, squealed so piteously that two of its companions came out of a I Hole in tho wall and attacked the j common enemy with great savageness. The cat, however, stood her ground, and with one on her captive, made such a desperate fight that she soon j drove the assaulting party back to their hole wounded and in confu sion. She thou calmly finished her meal .limit* Ih’p.ivi iiii'9 The Tombs contains ono most peculiar characters in this cityP I refer to Flora Foster, tho matron of tho female department. She has held this position for a third of a century, and stilt retains it, though now much wearied by long service and increas ing years. Mrs. Foster is ft business woman and has little to say to visi tors. Sho conies oarly amt goes IJpipe at dark, and has spent the best part of lmv life in prison. Frequent ly she has been called on by reporters I j who desired to “write her up,” but j ; she has always declined. Sho is very | ! kind to prisoners, but is very decided ; I and allows no ill words or ill con-! j duet. Ilntcring this department I | saw a female, form prostrate at full length, and the face covered by part of her dress. It was simply a case of intoxication, such as one sees here constantly. There aro about forty women in this department, but they have a comfortable hall, nnd are treat ed well. Flora Foster has a list of these unfortunate women for thirty years. What a history of woman’s life would it present ? The Tombs kitchen employs thirty persons, and the food is of a plain quality, two! meals a day being served. If the j prisoners desire better fare and have | the moans of purchasing it, they can j i bo served from a neighboring rofrec- ] : tory at a cost of about sl2 per week. .Stokes was fed in this way, find so ! : was Tweed, but there are few who can I allbrd such luxury, and they must : | take up with prison fare, w hich is j ; generally all that they deserve. — i ; (!oriY<j'undent Utica HcrahL Tin; Duration of life.- In ancient ■ ; Rome, during the period between ; 200 and 300 A. I)., the du : ration of life among the uper classes ’ ; was thirty years. In tho present ; century, among the same classes of people, it amounts to fifty years. In ; the sixteenth century the mean du- j ration of life in Geneva was 21.21 j years; between 1833 and 18-41 it was 48 (58 years, and at the present time as many people live to seventy years ’ of age as three hundred years ago I lived to the ago of forty-throe. In the year 1(59 3 the British Govern-1 men t borrowed money, the amount I borrowed to be paid in annuities, ou ! the basis of tho mean duration of life I at that time. The State Treasury, made thereby a good bargain, and ! all parties to the bargain were satis fied. Ninety-sven years later Pitt j establishe 1 another tontiuo or annui- ■ ty company,- based on the presump tion that the mortality would remain tho same us a hundred years before. I But in this instance it transpired that I tho Government had made a bad! bargain, since, while in the first ton-! tine 10,000 persons of each sex died j under the age of twenty-eight, a hun- ; dred years later only 5,772 males and G, 416 female died under this age. | From this fact it appears that life,! under certain favorable influences,; has gained in many, and, probably,! in all its form and manifestations, j both in vigor and duration. Married Through the Window. —A ] clergyman recently waited for a cou ple in his parlor one evening, and, as they did not keep their engagement, ho went to bed. Just about half past cloven o'clock tho door bell rang vi olently. He put a cap and a wrap per on, and, in a state of general un dress, opened tho second-story win dow and looked out. There stood tardy candidates for matrimony'. “Well, it’s too late now,” said tho clergyman, “and it’s too cold.” “Yes,” called up the man, but wo missed the train and I sail to-mor row;” “Well, then, go to some other min ister.” answered the irate parson. “We can’t now,” both shouted up from the garden walk, “it’s too late.” “Well, I can’t marry you now,” he said “the servant has taken the front door key and has gone to sleep. “Well, then, marry us out of tho window,” came up from below. And so the minister took the book in hand and called out the directions from the second-story casement, and the parties complied with the several orders, and finally left the fee in an envelope under the front door, and went out of the garden gate man and wife. No Time to Head.— Wo have often encountered many who profess to be lieve they have no time to read. Now |we think of it, there have always been men of such characters, the points of which aro easily summed up. Nino times out of ten, they are men who have not found time to confer any substantial advantage cither up on their families or themselves. They frequently spend whole days in gossiping, tippling and swapping horses, but they have ‘no time to read.’ They sometimes lose a day in ask ing advice of their neighbors; some times a day in picking up the news, tho prices current, and the exchange, but those men never ‘havo timo to read.’ Thoy have time to hunt, to fish, to fiddle, to drink, to—-do nothing, but ‘no time to road.’ Such men generally 1 avo uneduca ted children, unimproved farms, and unhappy firesides. They have no en ergy, no spirit of impri ivement, no love of knowledge; they .ive unknow ing and unknown. aid often die uu w.ept and unregrutc.: , i•• Id the property* ■ forming elephants, lies, a rhinoceros, two'gfv? about ono hundred other^B main, with crfjgox and -all. There will be one hundred draught Ifwses, nineteen iing.hdrsos, ] twenty-two running*' horses, nineteen ! ponies and two trick , mules. One page is devoted to the list of wood cuts, and twelve pages of closely printed matter describe the armor and wardrobe. “The Hippodrome and the other shows cost no a mill ion dollars,” says Barnum. “The Hippodrome paid from tho start ini New York, Philadelphia and Boston, j but it didn’t pay in the small towns, j The country people would flock from j all around to the first performance, \ and then go home disappointed be cause there wasn’t no clown.” “It’s good fun to study tho country peo ple,” continued tho great showman, laughing. “We nre'going to sell ev ery hide, hoof and feather. The boys think they aro going to loose money ou them, and I shouldn’t won der. They want me to bid in some j of the animals and use them in an-1 other show, but I won’t do it. The ! reason I’m bound to sell is that it doesn’t pay to havo your business scattered as ours has been. 1 always said in my lecture on “Money-Mak ing” that a man must have charge of his own business. Now, I can’t do this if we run throe or four shows; besides, the people want something new. The novelty is worn of the Hippodrome, circuses don’t pay, and so I say sell out every' dollars worth of our stuff. I’ve got an idea that’ll ] hit the people, I guess. I can’t toll ; you what it is, only that it will-be the bigest kind of a Centennial exhibi tion, unlike anything we’ve ever had i here. 1 know I’m too old a man to | go into the thing. I’m past sixty-five, j and ought to settle down and keep ! quiet; but I rather hate to give up ! the business. It’s my' recreation.” 1 —Boston Boat. Bonnet of all Bonnets.— An extra ordinary bonnet was exhibited in one I of tho fashionable millinery establish- j ments in Boston, several days ago. j It was made of dark green velvet and I ecru silk—two of the stylish colors for I the coming season. Ou tho back of! the bonnet, resting partly on the! crown and partly on the brim, was an | elaborate wreath of leaves. Within this circlet, whicji answered for a. nest, were enclosed six birds of the size of sparrows. Thoy were mount ed on wires so as to move easily with tho motion of tho wearer, or to swing lightly in the breath of tho breeze. Ten wings formed the trimming on one side of the bonnet, and a larger wing, was intermingled with the ban deau of velvet and silk, and an addi tional wing. A yard and a half of velvet and half the quantity of silk was required for the completion of this monstrosity of head gear. Twelve bird’s wings, six whole birds, masses of flowers, leaves and wreaths, velvet and silk, in unlimited quantity, en tered into tho composition of this “lovo of a bonuot.” ■- ■ • Benjamin Franklin’s Thrift.— The Rev. Dr. Hawks, of New York, as his torian of the Protestant Episcopal Church in America, has discovered some documents which ought to be of interest in Philadelphia about the one hundredth anniversary of Ameri can Independence. The documents referred to are the private diaries of Bishop White of Pennsylvania, who relates in one place a conversation that ho overheard between two gen tlemen at a tavern in a remote coun try parish. The speakers were a father and son, one of whom had been a Tory during the revolutiona ry war and the other a Patriot. Each had deeded all his property to the other, and, as the war was now clos ed, tho son, who had been the Tory, wished to have his share back. The father, who seemed to have been a thrifty soul, refused to part with any thing in his possession. Tho next day tho bishop asked tho landlord who were tho occupants of the room from which the conversation had proceeded, and was informed that they were Benjamin Franklin and his son. —— The President’s Financial Difficul ties.- A rumor is current th"t the family of Grant is in financial difficul ties. The sacrifice of the St. Louis stock, the advertising of Mrs. Grant’s New Jersey land for taxes, the Ad ams Express Company loan, and the late hasty visit to Now York, are mentioned as incidents resulting from the financial stringency in the Presidential household. It appears that President Grant is indebted to Adams Express Company to the amount of $20,000. Like the accep tance of large gifts of money from persons afterward appointed to lucra tive offices, this is a discreditable transaction. ,It may not be corrupt, but it is improper for the President of the United States to bo under heavy pecuniary obligations to a wealthy monopoly that last year re ceived his signature to legisla tion valuable to it and oppress ive to tho people. iUuakinijton Sun day llcrald.
