Here is where a professor of common sense is needed, Importance of Breeding SiiEEr.— However much by judicious manage moist we may enable a flock to produce woo! under the most favorable cireum stances, it is perfectly clear that the natural character of ,the breed will be a very important agency ; management will go far to favor the growth of wool, but it certainly cannot do all we need, Hence the importance of securing sheep v, iiiyii.are of a suitable breed, and from which we may be sure to obtain wool of tho desired quality and weight. Tlie value of a long-continued and careful bacedtng is shown as forcibly in the wool as in the general which, for form several of the body. These flocks success sive generations, have maintained one steady and uniform character of wool, offer the best source from which to breed when it is desired to improve the wool of any flock. The buyers should not look for rams suitable lor this pur¬ pose without duly considering the prev¬ ious history of the flock from which they may be selected. Many a sheep pos¬ sesses the external qaliftcations desired —so far as the eye is able to judge—but unless the flock from which it has been obtained has been carefully fed, the buyer The will probably be disappointed. value of good wool is a strong in¬ ducement for making its growth as abundant and as good as the local cir cumstanoes of a farm will allow. F arming in California. —A corres¬ pondent of the Chicago Tribune, who has recently been journeying from Cali¬ fornia to Los Angeles, writes as fol¬ lows ; “ Looking from the car across the great agricultural seotion, the range of the eye is bounded only by the distant mountains, while a broad expanse of waving grain, covering many thousand square miles of level land, lies between. Nowhere else is farming prosecuted on such an extensive and scientific scale, and the quantity of wheat and barley produced each year is something enor mous. To the Eastern tourist, the lack of fences, roads, and homes is surpris¬ ing. For miles and miles on each side of the road nothing but wheat-fields are seen, and the play of light and color upon the standing grain exceeds iu beauty the best tints of the most famous artists. On every ranch is seen farming machinery of whose value the Eastern farmer preparing is scarcely the yet ground, aware. Gang-plows centrifugal for sowers for scattering the seed, combined plows and sowers, giant headers for cut¬ ting, and costly separators for threshing, combined headers, threshers and sacking wagons— there are the implements it^ employed.

A cow, to produce lent in grass, which would contain two hundred and forty ponnds of nitrogen and eight hundred and ten pounds of mineral matter, a very small portion of which goes off in the cheese, and the rest remains to enrich the laud ; while a crop of wheat removes five or six times as much.

The men arranged themselves rU-a-vi* with the women, as in a ballet dance in a Eu rapean theater. The dance opened l.y on advance of the women, who kneeled he fore the men and then retired. The men the next advanced, slapped each other on tliieli, knelt and withdrew. After a pause both men and women went through “The a figure somewhat resembling Lancers.” Tlie women displayed some snd simultaneously peculiar contortion of the limbs, the men passed in and out between tho contortionists, This was only tlie prelude to a more ex citing scene—a verv liwlv dance not mi like the French can-can accompanied hv savage gesticulations. Some of the men threw themselves violently on the ground; others crawled about "on all Fours,” while the women set down clasp ing their knees with their hands. Sub ■equantly the women formed a circle, and then retired into line joined by the men. The dancers ried with each other in grotesque contortions, and the one who succeeded tlie best was the loudest applauded. m'to Every playfand ioint and muscle wus brought at intervals the men and women would drop out tore* fresh themselves with millet and beer.

Stonewall Jackson, who never entered the room of his wife without knocking, was the key to a polished and beautiful character. True politeness is a tender thoughtfulness of others. What wonder that the Bavior was called by old Thomas Dekher, who lived in 1641, “ The first true gentleman that ever breathed.” An eyf.tem in the Yonkers Gazette speaks of “eyes that are continually kindness. shedding the milk of human ” Ah, yes, and when the milk is skimmed, no doubt but that the result is eyes cream.— Whitehall Times.
