Shearing Lambs.

The Practice Of shearing lambs is deemed
one of uuqueslionable utility by most farmers
The following, from the Yankee Farmer O
1910, contains some useful Suggestions :---Ihr
shearlng of lambs in this country is but htle
praclsed, though the results of experiments ap-
pear to be favorable. IL is reasonable io sup
pose that the weol will grow the faster after 'h4
lamb is shoTn. In cutting the beard frequently,
It's growth will be promoted. and j, is the sane
with wool. With the strong reasons aud Ia
vorable resuls in sheaTing lambs we shouId
think it advisable for farmers 10 pursue The
practice, or at least attend 10 il sufficiently 10
learn the effect
Let number Of lambs Of equal size, and
with aeeces Of equal quality, be selected Iot
experiment; then shear one hall the number
and weigh the fleeces. Nexi year weigh the
feeces of the whole lot, and see what IS nF
difference. if any, in the weighs and qualify o
wool, between those that were shorn and those
that were not Shearing one half OF lamb
and weighing the half fleece, and again the iva
halt heeces another year is good way To JUICE
OF the utility or inuility Of This method. We
hope that many Of our readers will make ex'
peripien,s on this subject aud let us know tho
resuli. If shearing lambs be profitable. then

The author Of The Practical Farmer says 'ha'

Euchwheat Cakes.

As 'his. is The season for Buckwheal cakes,
the following receipt will be valuable to those
who are fond of them. A friend, who has lred
the experiment, says il makes decidedly better
cakes, with half the trouble necessary in the
usual mode of raising them with yeast:
To three pints Of buckwheal flour, mixed in
to batter, add one teaspoonlul of carbonate of
soda, dissolved in water, add one ditto of lar
tarlc acid, dissolved in like manner-frst ap-
ply the carbonate, STIR The batter well, and then
put in the acid-,hus The use Of yeast is entire
y superseded, and cakes 'as light feather
are insured. One great advantage is that the
batter is ready for baking as soon as ii is made.
