CaLres among Sheep. Some farmers who have
kept calves among sheep, recommend this method
as decidedly superior, We have tried it with
success, and noticed a great Improvement in
calves in month or two after put with sheep,
when the sheep were fed with hay only, the
same as previously given to calves.
II has been stated, and by our observation con-
firmed, thar calves that run with sheep are never
infested with lice, and not liable to disorders; aud
this method Of taking care OF them is very conve"
nieni, as they may be kept in yard with the
sheep, separate from the other cattle, and watered
in the morning before the other cattle are turned
out, which are liable to disturb or injure lhen
After the stronger cattle aie housed early in the
evening, the calves may again 60 10 The water in
peace and safety.
When calves run with sheep, it may he well TO
tie them up part OF the time, the latter part of
the winter OF in the spring; else they will be
more difficult to manage the second winter, if not
accustomed to confinement, and frequent hand
ling, TO lame them the first winter.
We have never known the practice of keeping
calves among sheep 10 be pursued extensively
therefore recommend it for experiment, as it
is highly approved Ivy all who have tried it, far

the worms and insects, we far protect the worms

llberately do thing having direct tendency to
the destruction -four crops, on which we depend
for the support Of ourselves and our stock.
Probably the greatest cause OF enmity to the
crow, is that he pulls up the corn. This to be
sure is some vexation. But this trouble is easily
remedied, and to the advantage of the farmer too
Soak the corn in some liquor that is unsavory TO
the taste of the crow, as sapetre, pickle, tar wa
ter, then sprinkle some -four of sulphur among il,
and the crow will not eat it. Whenever he finds
tina, the corn is not paatable, he desiss from pull
ling il up, for he does not work for mischief but
Tor his own support. When he finds he gets no.
thing for this kind Of labor, he leaves it, and be-
takes 10 some more hopeful employment. Seat
ter n few kernels Of this unsavory corn about up
on the ground and after tasting few &c them no
will not NEEDLE any farther with them.
The great and increasing complaints which are
abroad in the land, Of the dreadful ravages of
worms and insects, is owing mostly to the de-
structon of the birds OF all kinds, especially the
crow. The opposite policy ought to have been
pursued-that of protecting, encouraging and do
meslicating as far as possible, all kinds of birds.
And It is wonderful what Il provision Providence
has made in this department of natures work.
