writer on ghdoq Ruibandinry in this oeuuty,
and the wteranaot tadll of beetmiug the stand-

work is intended tot give that fall and minute
practical information ohi all subjects connected
witon Sheep WauBjLdiy which its author has
derived from the direct personal experience of
thirty-five years with large flocks, together
with that knowledge of different modes and
systems which has flowed from a very exteu-
sive correspondence dawing a long period with
leading flock-masterss i every part of' the
world.

Sorghum-Good Prices Ahead.-The
?rospect for large returns from the Sorghum
crop of the country was never so good as now.
rhe Mississippi is again open, to be sure, but
,he southern papers report that but little sugar
ias been produced. We hope our farmers who
Lave been enterprising enough to grow consid-
erable quantities of the cane will take care to
)rovide themselves in time with the machinery
Lad apparatus necessary to work it up.

The Tribune Strawberries will be dis-
ributed to those of our subscribers who, in



subscribing for the Tribune with the FARMEB,
hen expressed a desire for them.
