TREATMENT OF SHEEP AFTER SHEAR.

A correspondent of the Albany Cultivator, so vs.
"The directions for Compound for Swearing
Sheep, given in your last number, lead the to make
the following remarks respecting the treatment Of
sheep generally after shearing
There is nothing that conduces to the health and
comfort OF sheep at this season, more than clean
skim. ANY application that has that tendency will
be OF service; anything to the contrary must in
ure them and the growth and quality of their wool
IN a greater or less degree.
onearfng, of any kind, is injurious AT anu sod,
son. but particularly after s6earing. when The
Wool is short ltstops the pores, checks the grow5
o. the WOOL and leaves it dry and brittle, far into
If, when sheep are sIloared, there is hogsbead
OF very strong brine made, and as the sheep are
shorn they are taken to it, and while one man holds
lhe sheep another takes strong scrubbing brush,
and after pouring some of the brine along the back
and shoulders, he scrubs the sheep we'll all over,
until he raises lather as with soap. nothing more
Is necessary. The skin will be left bright. red and
clean. Every tick and louise instantly disappears
ana II the skin has any tendency to itch, it is en-
tlreiy cured, perspraion is promoted, and the
growth OF the wool improved. In this way, think,
The general strength Of the sheep to withstand the
efects OF any storm, will be better promoted than
ny smearlng of my kind"

of Wooden Cloths.
In the hrst place, in order to make Cloth ms il
should be, it is necessary that the wool be sorted
properly the outer edges of the fleece and coarse
locks should be taken off first and then if YOU wish
to make nice cloth, you take off the center of
the fleece such part as the circumstances of the
case may require, say from half pound, and the
rest will answer for coarse cloth, if the wool is
very hne. 1t is necessary to have 1t cleansed well.
II should never be pressed together with the hands,
OF IN any other way, when cleansing, for it is of
he greatest Importance that the wool be kept per-
iecty loose and open, for if it is matted or feted

Alter the wool is properly prepared and carded.

ting into garments; and besides this, it will cost
no more for dressing than if narrow.

fracture IS not suitable for handsome wear; but if
they will follow the above directions, and have their
cioth dyed and dressed in proper manner, their
cloth will be equal in beauty to broadcloth of the
same quality, and OF more durability
Coarse cloth for common wear, may be 1-S yds
wide, and answer quite WELL but never ought to be
any narrower. For flannel yd wide is sufficient,
and 1t ought not to be wove so thick as for fued
cloth.
Cloth that is only to be dyed and pressed for
women's dresses, ought TO be spun like warp and
brought over as it is called which leaves the thread
smooth, and Of course the cloth will be much bet

PRoMIsEs-Th is sort of people in the
world of whom the young and inexperienced stand
much IN need TO be warned. These are sanguine
promisers. They may be divided into two sorts.
Inc first are those who, from foolish custom of
iiawnng upon all those they come in company with,
have learned habit of promising to do great kind
ne which they have no thought of performing
Inc other are set of warm people, who while
tney are lavshing away their PROMISES have really
some thought of doing what they engage for; but
afterwards, when the time of performance comes,
the sangulne fit being gone off, the trouble or ex-
Pense appears in another light; the promiser cools
and the expectant is bubbled, or perhaps greatly
injured by the Disappointment Bnrgh.
