The Ansel of, Peace.
B* JOB* G. Wl/lTl'IS*. •-
Tt vetrj hearts, to mourning homes,
God's méekest angel gently comes;
No power has he to banish fain,
Or given* back oar lost again;
And jret iq tender love oar- dear
And Heavenly father senas htm here.
There's Ijbiet in- that angel's glance;
There's rest in that his countenance ;
He mocks no grief with idle cheer,
Nor wounds with words the mourner's ear
6ut ills and woes be cannot cure
e kindly trains us to endure.
Angel of Patience! sent to calm
Our feverish hfavr with cooling balm;
To lay the storms of hope and fear,
And reconcile life's smile and tear;
And throba of wooaded love to still,
And make our own our Father's will.
O thou who mournest on tby way,
Whh longings for the close of day,
He walks with thee that angal kind,
And gently whispers, " Be resigned 1
Bear up, bear on—tbe end shall tell
The dear Lord ordereth all things well!"
Waal Growing In Texas.
The fallowing article originally
appeared in the Galveston News. It
has. been sent to us by a subscriber,
with the request to republish it. As
it. treats of an important subject, we
cheerfully do so:
Bandera, Not. 10th, 1865.
Having read an article in the San
Antonio Herald ofrecent date, over
the signature of Geo. Wilkins Ken-
dall, Esq., addressed to the wool
growers of Texas, I am reminded
of a conditional promise made to you
hi times that are passed, to write out
for vour perusal something of a'prac'-
tical character relating to this im-
portant branch of pastoral life.
I have been engaged in sheep hus-
bandry for the past fifteen years, the
last fire of which I have lived in the
mountains of Bandera, quietly prose-
cuting my occupation—sometimes al-
most solitary and alone, struggling
with adverso circumstances incident
to the-late perilous and exciting
scenes, which I hope have now de-
parted forever.
Endeavoring to give you a brief
account of the selection, introduction
and management of my flocks, I will
jot attempt a description in glowing
terms of the topographical Matures
of this region, combining mountain,
bill and plain, with meandering
streams - ¿f chrystal waters; nor its
varied scenery and herbage, its arid
climate and independent inhabitants,
physically, socially, morally.
In the spring of 1860 I travelled
in Missouri. Illinois, Indiana,' Mícíii-
Obio, Western New York, Perm
It could obtain ^written by wool
growers of. tins State, bat never a
word could I find on ttós subject.
After losing two or three lambs by
using too much calomel, I «Tested
their progress by wang a strong de-
coction of tobacco and léy. I have
learned, from experience, that the
best plan is to mark, dock and cas-
trate ¿very ten days, comttjencmg
early in the spring; then to discon-
tinue the operation when the flies
appear, and finish the job when they
disappear late in the autumn, or ear-
ly iu -the winter msntht. Some emi-
nent writers of Europe contend that
if is better not to dock until the
lambs are eight or ten months old,
believing that the spine is weakened
when the operation is performed at
an earlier period; and I am inclined
to concur with them in their opinion.
I know that by postponing it^ until
Ehe following winter, no medicine or
labor is- required in treating the
wounds. In cold weather it bleeds
but little and soon heals.
When a protracted drouth occurs
here, and they are not unfrequcnt—
beginning early in the summer or the
latter part of spring, the lambs are
retarded in growth by the partial
failure of their dam's supply of milk
at a time when they are of too ten-
der age to feed on grass; besides,
the grass is too dry to afford them
much nourishment, if they could rel-
ish it. This is another disadvantage
peculiar to this country, and some-
times a serious one.
The greatest annoyance I have
had, and one which hasw caused me
to expend a great deal of time and
money, is the visitation of a disease
called the "scab," introduced here
by flocks brought from other portions
of the State. It is a very contagious
disease, and spreads through a flock
in a very short time. There is, how-
ever, a certain cure for it if properly
applied, and this is an immersion in
a strong decoction of tobacco, used
at a temperature as high as the skin
can bear without burning; then re-
move the flock to a new range and
new pens. When I first encountered
this disease I used the tobacco de-
coetion and arrested it; but the next
year some sheep from a "scabbed"
flock in my neighborhood strayed
into one of my flocks and inoculated
them. At that time tobacco was
very scarce and high in price, and
learning that a remedy was being used
in the adjoining eounty of Kendall,
said to be effectual, I procured the
recipe. The ingredients consisted of
ulphur, ley and caustic lime. I pre-
pared a sufficient quantity, as per
«ylvania and Virginia, .examining all _
of the noted flocka of fine wooled -ecipe, anil dipped all my
*!i*ep I conveniently could, en route, ! ter some six weeks I discovered that

and bayou Atehafalaya i and inoculated them again. Ii
eippi risers, ami bayou
to Berw ick bay, thence by steamship
to Indianola, thepce overland to Ban-
dera county, Texas, arriving on the
8th day of February, 1861.' Of the
227 head 1 started with, I lost only
one on the journey. They were shorn
here in April, and as their fleeces
wéré almost entirely grown on my
arrival here, I preserved some sam-
ples éf wool from sheep that I could
easily agam identify from the French
Merino, and also from the Spanish
Morino, that I might observe any
chari^e produced'm the character of
their wool incident to. the herbage
and climate of this locality. By
comparison in succeeding years I
ditffeovered that the wool bad lost in
secretions of- yolk, and grease, and
gum, consequently in weight of fleece
before scouring for the spindle and
loom ; but the wool fibre had become
more toft and silky, and more elastic,
and of course a better wqoI for the
manufacture of fine cloth. Green
food all the year round is nature's
provision for the sustenance, full de-
velopment and perfection of the
sheep aad its fleece. The merino
originated in a warm climate. Let
us bear these frets in mind, and in
seeking a locality for growing fine
sheep, and wool, try to obtain a place
where we can supply this green food
the entire year at the smallest ex-
pense ; then, with the same attention,
skill And enterprise, we can defy
competition from those in less favor-
ed regions.

itelv after shearing I bought a sup-
ply of leaf tobacco, prepared a str#ng
decoction, and dipped twice, and
have seen no scab since in my floek.
In the month of March last I learn-
ed from Mr. Kendall that he had the
scab in his flock. I attempted to
describe my apparatus for dipping to
him, and, on my return home, think-
ing that he had not fully compre-
hended my oral account, I prepared
some drawings with written descrip-
tion, and transmitted to him by mail.
I learn that he substituted stone for
the wood vat and platform recom-
mended by me. In a permanent
arrangement, this is perhaps best;
but if lumber can be had at reason-
able* rates, Í prefer wood. The vat
to be constructed of two inch sound
boards, nine feet long, three feet
wide and three and a half in depth.

each, made of If inch plank, tongued
and grooved, and laid upon stringers

at an angle of elevation of four de-
grees, commencing at the vat. The
second lapping four inches over the
upper edge of the first; the third
four inches over the second, and so

will come into use for* the men to
shear on and to roll the fleeces. At

The tobacco decoetion promotes a
rapid growth of wool—is very con-
ducive to the health of the skin and
general health of the sheep. The
sulphur mixture will have a contrary
effect on the skin, and I think on the
general health of Jhe animal; aud I
could not see that it increased the
quantity or quality of the fleece,
