SCHOOL FOR FEMALE TEACHERS-AN

Thomas II. Palmer, Superintendent of Common
Schools for Rutland County, will open school for
female teachers at Pitslord, on Monday the 9th OF
April, to continue five weeks-the expense for tut
ton books and board not to exceed five six dol
lars for the term The object of this school is moi
the acquisition of science-pupils are expected to
come sufficiently prepared on that score; the main
purposes are mental discipline and preparation
for governing schools by frmness and affection ant
appeals to conscience This school is designed
particularly for teachers in Rutland county, but pu
pills will be received from any part of the state

and yet the flores Of the fleece so fine and close
together as to render it almost imperviouslto the
severest storms. Instead of the very Objectionable
gum, their wool is well supplied with yok; equally
dlfnsed and imparting to the fleece on opening it,

wool solt and of most beautiful clear white.
These sheep will make an excellent cross on the
Merino flocks Of Vermont, aud we recommend
them to the attention of the breeders in that quar-
ter. They are a most valuable importation, and
Mr. Collins deserves the thanks of the country for
his spirit and lberality in making it. They are
pure Merinos, bred in the Royal flock at Rambou-
illet, one OF the best, probably, in Europe. The
originals OF these superb animals, by permission of
the King, were chosen from the best hocks in
Spain, about GO years ago. and have since been bred
by the French government with the greatest care"
Passing through Wilslon, recently, examined
the flock spoken of above by one who is authority
upon the subject-ond must say that never saw
such sheep before. They are wooded all over with
longer, finer wool than | ever before saw. They
must make an excellent cross OIL the Merno locls

RAMROuILLET SHEEP.

MEssRs EDIrnRs IL should not probably at

terest to the farmers Of Vermont and if did not
intend to treat of it, for the most part in the Ian
guage of another-the Editor Of the American Ag-
ricuturis:
a." RamJouHei Sheep. We spoke IN little note
in our last number, of having sold the entire flock
of these sheep belonging to Mr. Collins, of Conn,
to Rev. L. G. Bingham, of Williston, VT, and that
we intended to notice them when they passed thro'
this city, as we thought they might deserve. Two
years ago last June, we inspected these ROmbouil'
let's and found them superior to any thing we
had before seen in the United States. Since this
we have looked over good many merno hocks,
embracing some Of the finest native bred animals
in the country and with these fresh in our minds
aver upon this second examination Of Mr.. Coll
ms Importation, that we know other sheep equal
to them for ineness softness telling qualities, ey-
enness, cosoness, and weight of fleece, coupled
with great size of carcase style, and an indefna
Bile air of high breeding. They are also thrifty
hardy and Of excellent constitution. We shoulC
Judge them, generally, to be from one tenth to on'

POLAND OR TOP KNOT FOWLS

This variety Of fowls is supposed to have origi-
mated in Poland, and hence the name given to
them. This may or may not be the case, and il Is
not very important They very good breed
for laying aud they do not set seem to have any
desire to, until three or four years of age. Hence
it becomes necessary to employ some other breed
to do this part of the chicken business, or get up
steam engine for it.
They are rather small in size, and the flesh does
not have that rich and inviting appearance that the
white yellow legged varmnts have. Indeed, were
it not for the peculiar properties which they pos
sess as being good layers, they would not possess
any advantages over other varieties Their pc.
cuar dress renders them little unique in their
appearance.
They are handles of the roost. The male is an
active, courageous fellows dressed in a suit OF
Jet blqck, with set of soap-locks upon his head,
and white epaulette upon his shoulders. The le-
male is also dressed in black, and has generally a
larger turban than her husband, and more globular
in its form. There is variety Of all over white,
with tuft on the crown of the head somewhat like
| these, but not quite so large The cut, which we
publish to-day is excellent representation, cop
led from a view in Dement'S work on American
Poultry, which ought to be found in every farm
house. 1t would not hurt the children to know all
about hens and some Of the cold folks" might
learn something useful out of it.
The business of raising poultry and eggs is prof
liable, but requires care, system and attention.
You can't expect the hens to take care of them
selves lay eggs, hatch chickens, carry them to the
market and bring the money home TO you. You
must have little something 10 do about it yourself
and in proportion you do that little right will be
your profit.
We have not statistics at hand now to prove the
comparative profits Of The different breeds of fowls
| We inclined to think, however, if the eggs e
lone were wanted, that the Poland or top knot va
rety are the most profitable of any not because
they will lay more eggs per day than other breeds
but because they will lay more days in the year.
Their eggs are not so large some of those lait
