Farmers and Sportsmen.— The interest, of farmers and 
decent sportsmen are identical. It is for the benefit of both 
that lawless ruffians, armed with impudence and shot-guns, 
should be surpressed. Scores of shooters, who in the cities 
and towns where they live are law-abiding because of their 
fear of the police, go out every season, and between seasons, 
trespassing on the farmers’ lands, breaking down his fences, 
peppering his live stock with shot, shooting his pigeons and 
poultry, and conducting themselves generally in a manner 
that ought to land them in the State prison. This pestilen¬ 
tial horde is yearly increasing. The respectable portion of 
society may well ask if there is any remedy for this evil, 
and what that remedy Is 7—From the Forest and Stream,

The Shepherd’s Manual. 
A Practical Treatise on the Sheep. 
Designed Especially for American Shepherds, 
By HENRY STEWART. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
The first edition of this Manual has been so well received, 
and the letters acknowledging indebtedness for assistance 
derived from it have been so many and so emphatic, that 
the author has the best of reasons for presenting this new 
and enlarged edition to the public. It is intended to be so 
plain that a farmer, or a farmer's son, who has never kept a 
sheep, may learn from its pages how to manage a flock suc¬ 
cessfully, and to be so complete that even the experienced 
shepherd may gather some suggestions from it. The author 
feels, with enlarged experience since the first publication of 
the volume, that he can still more confidently than before 
encourage the young shepherd to accept this Manual as a 
guide and a counsellor.
