THE ILLIlsrOIS F^HIMER. 



303 



A Wool Opehation. — The Utica N. 

 Y. Eerald says ; T. S. Faxton, Esq., 

 in behalf of the Globe Woolen Mills of 

 Utica, is just starting on a Western tour 

 for the purchase of 250,000 pounds of 

 wool. The quality to be purchased will 

 make the the cost about a hundred thous- 

 and dollars. This indicates confidence 

 in a continued improvement of the wool- 

 en manufacture. 



A Cure for Sheep-Killing Dogs. 

 — A Southern writer gives the follow- 

 ing : "Select the stoutest and most 

 vicious old ram in your flock, and shear 

 him close; then get a small Manilla rope 

 thirty-five feet long, and tie one end 

 around the dog's neck, and turn them 

 into a ten acre field, well cleared ot 

 stumps, brush and corn stalks, and let 

 them remain two hours, and if that old 

 ram don't knock all the sheep killing 

 propensities out of that dog, why then, 

 as Sam Stonestreet would say, "I hope 

 I may never see chinkapin time again." 

 That dog will never have the courage to 

 look a sheep in the face again.''

Our Beautiful TVild-Flowers — 



Is amusement our pursuit ? A love of 

 our beautiful wild flowers will afford it 

 in every walk we take. They are in- 

 deed scattered around us in the greatest 

 profusion. Wherever we direct our 

 steps, be it upon the lofty mountains, 

 through deep ravines, in the solitary 

 dell, or over the beautiful meadows, they 

 meet us at eeery turn, and seem, as 

 Rosseau says, to grow beneath our feet, 

 as if to invite us to their contemplation. 

 They are to be seen by every one, — 

 would that I could add they are admired 

 by every one. 



Those that know nothing of flowers, 

 save their beautiful colors and fragrance 

 cannot posstbly enter into the delight 

 and enthusiasm of the botanist; who, 

 knowing, that the commonest weeds are 

 not beneath his notice, examines them 

 with the greatest assiduity and interest. 

 lie learns their uses, and their connec- 

 tions with others spread over the entire 

 globe. By the study of botany, our 

 minds become stored with the most val- 

 uable information, and at the same time 

 are led to "look through nature up to 

 nature's God.'' — Homestead.
