FARM AND HOUSEHOLD From the Southern W orld. Sheep in Mixed Husbandry in the south, Jiow that there is a decided disposition on the part of the plan ters of all the middle and upper cotton belt to become farmers, a plea for the restoration of this valuable animal to a place in our farm economy is not inappropri ate. It is true that there are many difficulties in the way of successful sheep husbandry, which should be speedily removed, had we more statemanship land, less demagog- ueisra among those who aspire to theJionor of legislating for the dear people. It is equally true that with the elective franchise promis- cously bestowed without regard to qualifications for its exercise, real statinanship isjat at discount at the polls .and demagogueism at a premium. It is nevertheless true that in some instances sheep husbandry is successfully practiced in spite of just such difficulties as surround us, With advantages inferior to those We possess. There are those in Virginia and Tennessee who are successfully growing sheep with all of Qur, surroundings as to popula tion and curs, hut without our cli- juate>advantages. There are par ties in^Iiddle Georgia who state thatetheir sheep are more profitable than any other branch of their farming enterpises. We have no hesitancy in stating that we have the very best pasture grass for sheep in the world, not even except ing the famous blue grass of Ken tucky and West Virginia. We mean tlie Bermuda, which forms an-impenetrable „ sod and affords pasturage from April till November Without fail, and when once set Will last forever. Our winters are Bo'mild that sheep may pasture small grain during the months of November, December, January, fjebilary and March, when the soil is in proper condition to be trod, if the common vetch, the spotted me- pi^kjor annual spear grass is s<5wn ' • the Bermuda sod, the sheep find good pasturage there when „ on the small grain pastures. The jfll grain will usually he benefit ing pastured by the sheep and a better harvest than if not etften or trod. Besides, sheep will cf|eh co reduce the number of the Ilfesaian fly as to prevent serious injury -from its ravages. This fly ddpOint^its eggs upon the surface of thehlades of grain which are eaten by thO sheep and thus the eggs are destroyed before they are hatched. With the facilities for cheap fenc ing which can be rapidly construc ted, separate inclosures for the sheep may he made at a small cost and short notice. Three strands of champion wire will cost 35 cents pe&rod without the posts, which cost the farmers only the cutting and hauling, and as both of these can be done at odd times when the ground is not in condition for culti vation the cost will not be felt. It will pay a farmer, who has a dry well or spring house, in which to keep fresh meat for a week, to keep sheep even if he never sells any thing from them except the wool from his flock, as it will furnish him «t all seasons of the year with the most wholesome and delicious meats for his table For general purposes the cross of the Merino buck on the common native ewes, ia the best stock to raise. When fat they make very good eating and their wool commands a good prlpe. In a good dry well the mutton may be kept for a week, and if one mutton is more than a family can consume without waste during that time, there is generally no dif ficulty in selling the surplus in the neighborhood, or in the nearest vil- rvfi.se, stubiect of eat- astonished at the delicacy of its fla vor, and its freedom from the usual peculiar rabbit taste. Speculating on the cause of this peculiar exemp tion from the usual objectionable game flavor, we came to the con clusion that it was due to the fact that it was dressed immediately af ter being killed, and that, having the same usual • diet of the sheep, being also wool bearing animal that the treatment when butchered should be the same. We subsequently found our con clusion to be correct and while we could not eat a rabbit treated on the usual way at all, we enjoyed one properly ' butchered, as much as spring chicken. Either rabbit or sheep disembowelled immed iately after life is extinct, makes a most delicate, delicious and whole some food, while if allowed to re main only a few minutes without removing the intesines after death, the gasses then become diffused through the flesh and render it ab solutely nnfit for food. Reader, arrange to keep a flock of sheep proportionate to your pasturage commencing with one to three acres of pasture and increase the number with your increased facilities for keeping. J- B. N, F.

E Pluribus Unum. “Did you know that the words TI Pluribus Unum, which have ap peared on different United States coins, and are on the standard sil ver dollar, were never authorized to be so placed by law?” asked the numismist of a Sun reporter. “No. When were they first used ?” “In 1786. There was no United States mint then, but there was a private one at Newhurg, and the motto of the United States was first placed on a copper coin struck at that mint. A very few collec tions have specimens of this coin. They are very valuable. In 1787 a a goldsmith named Brasher coined a piece which was known as the $10 gold piece, and the motto, pla ced in this form, ‘Unum F Pluri bus,’ was stamped upon it. The coin is worth to day $2,000, and only four are known to be in existence. In 1787 the motto also appeared on various copper coins of the State of New Jersey. “A great many of our early coins 4 before there was any legal authori ty for national coinage here, were made in England. The State of Kentucky had some peculiar cop per coins which were minted in England in 1791 and bore the na tional motto. The United States mint was established 1792, hut the use of the motto on any of the gold, silver or copper coins was not au thorized or directed by any of the provisions of the act establishing it. The motto had not appeared on any of our coins since 1837, until the standard silver dollar was coin ed. It remained on our early gold and silver coins until 1834 when it was ^omitted from the gold coins. In 1833 it was dropped from 25-cent piece and the following year from all silver coins. II. O.

The offensive “aheepy taste arises not from con tact with the pelt, but from the dif fusion of gasses thro’ the flesh aris ing from decomposition, which com mences in the intestines instanta neously, after life is extinct. The remedy, therefore is in the prompt removal of the intestines as soon as life is extinct. Do this and we will guarantee perfect exemption from that peculiar taste and order which has prejudiced so many Southern people against mutton.
