From tbs National Inteiligencer.

To THE EDIToRs.-In the Intelligencer
ct this morning, read an account OF the loss
Of number of sheep about Waterville, in
the State of New-York, which as stated, was
occasioned by the grub worm making its
Judgement above the eye of sheep. and that
no means as yet had been discovered for its
destruction.
Sheep being esteemed valuable stock,
anc the growers of wool valuable class Of
citizens, disease so destructive to that use
full animal is worthy of notice; and as deem
it duty incumbent upon every citizen to
furnish such information, when in his pos
session, as may conduce to the public good,
for the benefit of those interested, will
state what know to be a fact. The oil q
amber which may be had at most OF the a.
pothecary shops, will instantly dislodge all
worms, maggots, &c. 1t may be applied by
dipping feather into the amber, and gently
stroking the parts affected. This remedy
has proved effectual when every other ap-
plication has been used in vain. Should this
remedy succeed with sheep, as when appli-
ed to all other animals, it will be a source OF
much qualification to--yours, respectfully

PHYSICKING POULTRY.
Ahrii IS. 1927.

FH SlChlNG FoOL ny.
During the winter months, poultry Of all
kinds, if tolerably fed, are apt to become We
ry fat; and it is during this period that eggs
are scarcest, and OF course dearest.-To
remedy this in some measure, several farm
ers' wives in this neighborhood, are actually
in the habit of physicing their chuckies and
the practice is said to have wonderful ct
feet in restoring their suspended laying pow
ers. The recipe is exceedingly cheap and
simple, and may be recorded here for the
benefit of hem wives in other quarters. Di-
Lutte and mix two ounces of glauber salts in
dish of cold porridge, or any other food,
and scatter the same we'll aboutthe poultry
yard, SO that no bird may eat too much; and
afthe effects are not apparent in two or three
days, repeat the dose at intervals, till the
accumulation of eggs indicate that you have
gone far enough. On farm not many miles
from this, town, the family complained that
although they had dozens of lazy hens they
could not get single egg to breakfast. and
this circumstance reminded one of the
daughters of the necessity of having recourse
to her wanted charm. To work therefore
she set, to the great annoyance of an Eng
lish dairy-maid, who averred that also sh'
had hundreds of poultry under her charge
she never before heard of such thing, ant
shat she was sure the birds would all de-
Miss ----, however, persevered, and in tn
course of a very few days, Easther found sew
eral eggs, and from that moment declare
herself firm convert to the improved meth
cd of managing poultry.

Red Petter.-It should be transplanted
into beds, where it is togrow, the last week
in May, 1t should be put in rows, two feet
apart, and the plants sixteen inches from
each other, in good rich garden mould, well
mellowed. The plants should be prepared
for transplanting by sowing the seed in hot
bed, placed in a small box, and covering it
one fourth of an inch deep, about the last
week in April. This hot bed is made by
laying twelve inches of new horse dung in
the bottom of the box, and covering it with
six inches of good garden mould. II any
freezing or very cold weather should hap
pen after the plants come up, let the box be
covered with board until the weather
changes.
1t should be hoed as often, and in the
same manner as cabbage. The pods or
capsules must be picked off and strung up in
a garnet, or other dry room, about the last
of September, or, at any rate, before the tall
frosts.
Savo,y.-It should be sowed about the
first of May, in rows eighteen inches apart,
and treated nearly like onions. Hyssop and
thyme may be treated In the same manner
Sare-It should be sowed in a small bed,
the first day Of MAY, and be transplanted
where it is to grow, when the plants are one
year old The ground should be somewhat
dry, and well manured.
Oyster Plant-The salsafy, or oyster
plant, is vegetable of easy production. and
universally eaten, when introduced to the
table. 1t resembles small parsnip in its
appearance. 1t is raised annually from
seeds, requiring no more care than the car
rot. 1t bears a tolerablc crop In Europe
it is eaten both boiled and fried. In this
country it is parboiled, and then fried either
in butter or without. In its taste, It SC
strongly resembles the oyster, that wher
sliced, and fried in butter, it can scarcely b'
distinguished from it. II is in eating iron
