EWES AND LAMBS.

Deane's New-England Farmer says, elf sheep
are led with little Indian corn, about half gill a
day to each, it will keep them in good heart, pre-
vent the wool from falling off and enable the ewes
to rear their young much better.' Potatoes are
better food for breeding than turnps, which it
is said are apt TO injure the lambs. The farmers
Vudnaet tells us that the best nursing for feeble
lambs is 10 keep the ewes well, and recommends
not only potatoes and carrots, but white beans in
small quantities, so as not 10 excite fever If your
lambs feeble they will require to be nursed with
warm milk given frequently in small quantities.
Ewes milk is best, and it a eve does not give milk
enough for her lamb there is little probability that
the lamb will live. Therefore, as before ntmated,
you doctor the mother for the sake OF her Off
spring.
II your sheep colds and discharge mucus from the
nose feed them well, and occasionally give them
pine boughs or spread tar on board and strew a
little fine salt over the tar, and the sheep will lie
the tar. and get well Immediately.

MADAME la FAYETTE.

FROM LADY MoRGAN's "1zE1oIHs or la FAYETrr."
General La Fayette had married daughter Of

so many of her family had pershed sent her young
and only son to the care and protection Of General
