After Sheep are washed, and previous
to shearing them, they should be kept some
DAYS In q clean pasture, that their wool
NAV iimbibe some of the oil. which IS iost
Il, washing. This will cause the shearIng
TO Be done with more ease and expedition,
and less oil will be necessary TO prepare
tho wool for manufacturing. Great care
should be taken not to cut the Sheep in
shearing, but if this should happen, Mr.:
Livingston recommends the application Of
little tar from the TAR bucket, which con-
tains some mixture of grease, and little OF
the dtist of charcoal over it. The Far
aser's Guide advises to use mixture oftar,
fresh butter and sulphur.
-tfTnE FARMs OF ENGL farms
are regularly laid out IN squares and paral-
kilograms, Of from two to forty acres and
in general they are laid down as smooth and
level, as the roller can make them. Here
is a luxuriant wheat held, and there a fine
meadow, and next a rich pasture. and there
busy preparations for putting in potatoes
or turnips and there barley or oats just
shooting up from therich soil. But scarce

where in the u. S. of America, do you ses

these hedges, which are, for the most part, |
farm houses, and by the road side, add |
more TO the beauty Of the country, than |
any description had pictured upon my mind.
The common method Of making the hedg- |
es IS this first ridge is thrown up, per-

are 10 be fenced off; then the young thorn
is planted lin two parallel rows ABOUT
foot or eighteen inches apart. The growth |
is not very rapid but when it has attained
the height Of four or five feet, in about as
many years, il becomes SO dense that no
domestic animal would think Of breaking

dant, and beautifully serrated. In the |
month Of May these hedges are clothed
with a white fragrant blossom, very much
resembling the thorn Of our own country 4
and il is then that the honey suckle and
other wild howerssunfold their bright Ihues
and mingle their sweetness with the haw-
thorn. In the hedges. trees, such as the I
oak, The elm, and the horse chestnut, are
pianted, sometimes in rows, near together,
nut often far apart, so that each one rises
and wayesby itself over the humble, but
