BEANS For SHEEP.

If you have any beans on hand which are
unfit for culinary purposes, in consequence
Of being mouldy or rancid, wash them care
fully and give them to your sheep. A gill
day will be Of more benefit to them than
pint OF cora. Beans, for sheep, even in this
condition, we consider eqcal to the best corn
i'll any state.-Maine Cultiyator.
Upon the above, DR.. Lee. of Buffalo, re-
marks:
The Cultivator tells but half the story.
Why is gill Of beans better for a sheep than
a pint OF corn! This is an important prob
lem. and one that not Que flock master in
thousand can answer. Il the object be to
form fat sheep, then the remark that beans
aie worth more than corn, is not true. But
If the object be 10 form m=5cle and oi,then
the remark is true. Beans contain more of
the elements o. DOL than any other cuIriva-
ted plant. Hence nature, ever true to her
self, has endowed the sheep with taste for
this plant which is denied to the pig.

themselves of the triumph Of the anti-potec-

the supply of our markets with British manu-

PROBABLE QUANTITY OF IRoN RE-
CURED FOR THE New RAILRoADs-It
has been estimated that out OF the numer-
Gus railway bills coming bcfnre Parliament
this month, there will be forty-five carried,
or about one fifth of the present applica-
tons Taking these lines at an average
length offorty miles each, there will be
1900 miles of railway to be formed, COM
mencing with the autumn of this year, and
extending over 1916; for though these
lines will not be all completed at that
period. the deficiency may be more than
made up by the lines which were passed
during the last session, and which are
now being formed. A yard of railway
requires $50 lbs. ofrails, % lbs. feast
iron chairs, and about 20 lbs. of iron Cir
ders-making four cwt. per yard, or ;I52
tons per mile. In addition to this, it is
pretty clearly ascertained, that an equal
amount of Iron is required for each mile,
in wagons, carriages, stations, engines,
and locomotive establishments, &c
making 200 tons iron for each mile, or

However darkly stained by sin.

For is il not enough
That innocence and peace have gone
Without thy censure rough!

And they who share a happier fate,
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak kind, to the erriug!

From misery's thorny track.
