PROTECTION OF SHEET.
On the matter of sheep-killing dogs
tho Legislature of Maryland, which
adjourned a few days ago, passed the
following bill:
An net for the protection of sheep
husbandry.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Gen
eral Assembly of Maryland. That if
any dog or dogs shall bo detected in
killing, injuring or pursuing any
sheep, the owner of said sheep shall
have the right to Kill said dog or dogs,
unless said dog or dogs shall have
first escaped to his, her or their own
er's premises.
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted,
Tliat any person whose sheep have
been killed or injured by any dog or
dogs may proceed against the owner
of such dog or dogs before any justice
of the peace of this State having juris
diction within the county where the
killing or injuring may have occurred,
who shall forthwith issue a summons
for the owner of such dog or dogs, and
for such witnesses as may be necessa
ry to ascertain the amount of damages
sustained by such killing or injuring,
and such justice of the peace shall
forthwith give judgment for such dam
ages as may be ascertained, which
shall be collected as other debts in this
State are collected, and such justice
shall also require the owner of such
dog or dogs to give bond with good
and sufficient security, in the sum of
not less than fifty dollars that such
dog or dogs shall not hereafter Kill or
injure any sheep, and upon failure of
such owner of sucli dog or dogs to
give such security, then said justice of
the peace shall require someone of
the constables of the county to pro
ceed forthwith to Kill such dog or
dogs, and said constable for such Kill
ing shall be allowed the sum of one
dollar for each dog Killed by him upon
such order by tho justice of tho peace
as aforesaid, to be taxed against the
owner of such dog or dogs as apart of
the costs in such case; provided that
nothing in this act shall be construed
to prevent the right of appeal as in
other cases, and provided further, that
Caroline, Cecil, Howard, Dorchester,
Wicomico and Worchester comities be
| exempted from the provisions of this
i act.

ence, pouring out her Mocha. “Do I
look like an octagon ?” placing her
finger smiling on tlie paragraph fix
ing her age at seventy-seven.” “A#
octagon, indeed!” she continued, not
severely, a smile wreathing her lips as
the odor of tho coffee exhaled, and
her spectacles were dewy with the
rising vapor from her cup; “they will,
perhaps, make mo a ccuturiau next
and a relic of antipathy, but this is
tho year for such, aud perhaps I
should be grateful for it, as age is
i honorable, aud I might find a place
at the great Imposition.

Milking Cows Clean
There are various reasons why cows
■ should be milked clean. One is, that
if the milking is always well done a
, much larger quantity of milk will be
obtained than if this work is slighted.
, Another is, that clean milking tends
i to prevent some of the diseases that
afflict cows which are not properly
milked. Still another, and very im
portant one too, is found in the fact
that the milk which is drawn last is
1 much more valuable than that takeu
first. One man who has made exper
‘ iments in this line reports that from
' the milk obtained at the commence
ment of the myking he obtained 91
per cent, of cream, while that which
• was drawn last gave 30 per cent. Now
• if the milk which was drawn last is
worth three times as much ns that
drawn first, it is quite an object to
milk as clean as possible. When there
is not only a gain in quantity, it would
seem of cows would take
pains tbo last spoonful. Itjwiil
make quite a difference in the income
from a dozen cows whether they are
milked clean or net. And at prestnG
prices there is no mjfcger thftttli^BML
if they obtain all wbieMfc
longs to them.— CnV/-jJKI

troublesome house fly. Many and I
various have been the advices to ridj
the household of this intolerable pestj
but none have been successful. Tlim
ltev. George Hears Drought, writing
from Ireland, says: “For three years
I have lived in Jtpwn, and daring that
time mv sitting room has been free
from flies, three or four only walking
about my breakfast table, while all
jmy neighbor’s rooms were crowded.
1 1 often congratulated myself on my
I escape, but never knew the reason of
|it until two days ago. I then had oc
casion to move my goods to another
house, while I remained on for two
days longer. Ainontr Uo,- tniugo
moved were two boxes of Geranium
Calceolarias, which stood in my win
dow being always open to full extent,
top and bottom. The boxes were
not gone half an hour before my room :
was full of flies as those around me. j
I his is, to me, as a discovery and per
haps it may serve to encourage oth- i
ers in that whieh is always a source i
of pleasure, and which now proves al
so to be a source of comfort, viz, win- j,
dov gardening. ,!
That’s How.—After a great snow
storm, a little fellow began to shovel
a path through a snow bank before
his grandmother’s door. He had
nothing but a small ohovel to work
with.
“How do you expect to get through
that drift?” asked a man passing
along.
“By keeping at it,” said the boy
cheerfully, “that’s how.”
That is tho secret of mastering al
most every difficulty under the sun.
If a hard task is before you, stick to
it and little by little it will grow
smaller until it is done.
If a hard lesson is to bo learned, do
not spend a moment in fretting; do
not lose breath in saying, “I can’t,"
or “I don’t soe how;” but go at it and
keep at it; study 1 That is the only
way to conquer it.
if a fault is cured or a habit broken
up, it cannot he done by merely be
ing sorry, or only trying a little. You
must keep fighting until it is got rid
of.— Rural New Yorker.
Mistaken in nis Man. —An insu

ment on Main street the other day,
with a large account book under his

tor in a business sort of a way he in
quired:
“How’s business—how’s stock ?”
“Oh, business is very—very dull,”
returned tho tradesman. “Pon my
word, sir, I havn't got S9OO in the
house ! Terrible dull!” and he paus
ed and looking inquiringly at his vis
itor.
“Only S9OO ?” said the insurance
man in surprise.
“Pon my soul, sir,” repeated the
dealer. “I don’t believe there’s a
dol’ar more—look for yourself,” and
the man looked sad, and sighed.
“Then, sir,” said the insurance
man, with a good deal of warmth,
“how does it come that your stock is
insured in our company for $4,500,
eh ?”
“Oh ! ah ! beg your pardon !” ex
claimed the dealer, iu great confusion;
I thought you was tho tax man! I.
was sure you was the tax gatherer, or
’pon my soul I wouldn't a said that,
when, in fact, my stock is worth fully

COTTON!
Without a Rival in

Head the following Certifi
cates:
Swainsbobo, Emanuel Cos., Ga. Nov. 2, 1871.
Mr. J. T. Cheatham.-- Last spring I
I bought some of your fine cotton seeds. I
j have been raised with cotton, but yours is
beyond doubt the finest I have ever seen.
It has yielded one hundred and fifty pounds
to sixty-five stalks, some bolls with fifteen
locks to each boll ! I want more of the
seed. John Ralls.
Midville, G.v., October 3d, 1874.
Mr. J. T. Cheatham. — I bought of
your cotton seeds last year &t $1 per hun
dred seeds. I would not take fifty cents
per seed and bo without them.' A man can
make from three to seven bales of cotton
per acre from these seeds, if he will do his
duty. W. L. Coleman.
Sumpter, S. C., Sept. 4, 1875.
I hereby certify that I bought some of
Cheatham’s Prolific Cotton seed, and plant
ed about one-third of an acre. It is the
heaviest fruited cotton I ever saw; and I ex
pect to gather one bale from the same,
weighing five hundred pounds.
Oconee, Ga., Oct. 9th, 1875.
Mr. John T. Cheatham. D*:ir Sir.—The
I cotton seed Mrs. Smith bought from you to
plant an acre of land, had many mishaps,
i The evening after planting a severe storm
with heavy rain so packed the land that not
mo-VP Hum rme-finvd nt’.tho spod <-■ imo pi it
was, though, replanted early and the same
misfortune of a heavy rain prevented a stand,
and getting more seed, as you recollect,
more seed for replanting, ’it was even a
iourth time replanted, before getting a
stand, making great irregularity, and of
course with such unfavorable seasons of hot
and dry weather as visited us, such irregu
larity would be disastrous. •
Had a good stand and propitious season
attended Mrs. Smith’s efforts with your seed,
I we are sure the crop would have been large,
j About two thousand pounds of cotton has
been picked, and Mrs. S. is greatly p’eased
with the cotton, and experiment, and pro
poses to enter in earnest for your prize for
the best acre of your cotton next year.
We find two varieties in your cotton, some
prefering ono, whilst others prefer tlie oth
er. Your genuine twin or double boll, fruit
ing so heavily and near the stalk falls to the
ground, which is objectionable, whilst the
variety with more stalk and limbs fruits fine
ly, and is now standing erect, this I prefer,
whilst some condemn.
In picking the cotton we find one hun
dred bolls weighs one and a half pounds of
cotton. The bolls are large, and the cotton
holding in. not yielding to storms, is also a
recommendation. Yours in respect,
T. J. SMITH,
Master of Ga State Grange.

THE WEEKLY SUN.
1776* NEW YORK* 1870.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also tho year in
which an Opposition House of Representa
tives, tho first since the war, will bo in pow
er at Washington; and tho year of tho twen
ty-third election of a President of the United
States All of these events are sure to be of
great interest and importance, especially
the latter; and all of them and everything
connected with them will be fully reported
and expounded in The Sun.
The Opposition House ofßeprescntatives,
taking up tlio line of inquiry opened years
ago by The Sun, will sternly and dilligently
investigate the corruption and misdeeds of
Grant s administration, and will, it is to be
hoped, lay the foundation for a now and
better period in our national history. Of
all this The Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations lor it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant’s aspiration
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall bo the can
pidate of the party of Reform, and as elec
ting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read The Sun will have
tlie constant means of being thoroughly well

circulation of over eight thousand copies,
already lias its readers in evi ry State and
Territory, aud w’e trust that tlie year 1876
will see their numbers doubled. It will be
a thorough newspaper. All the general
news of the day will be found iu it, condens-
I ed when unimportant, at full length when
of moment; and always, we trust, treated iu
a clear, interesting and instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the
best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns a large
amount of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, biles, poems, scientific intelligence
aud agricultural information, for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edi
tion. The agricultural department espeoial
ly’iA one of its prominent features. The
fashions are also regularly reported iu its
columns; and so are the market of every
kind.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages with fifty
six broad colnrars is only $1.20 a year,
postage prepaid. As this price barely re
pays the cost of the paper, no discount can
be made from this rate to clubs, agents,
Postmasters, or anyone.
The Daily Sun, a large four page news
paper of twenty-eight columns, gives all the
news for two cents a copy. Subscription
postage prepaid, 55c. a month or $6.50 a
year. Sunday edition extra, sl.lO per year.
We have no traveling agents.
The Sun, now York City.
Only One Dollar.
