ESQ.,, for copy of the First annual Re-
port of the Ohio State Board of Agri-

furnishing suggestions for valuable i'm
provement in the law of Vermont for
the promotion of Agriculture, to which
we shall call the attention of the
Agricultural interest ere long. The
statement of the crops, Quantity and
value for the past year is interesting
especially to all who may be thinking of
quitting their beautiful mountain homes
for the praires of the West. Ohio is a
noble State. She is the Queen of the
West-indeed Of all of the new States :;
in the aggregate, her resources are i'm
mense, and her means Of access to the
markets are, for Western State, per-
haps the most favorable of any yet we
hesitate not to say that for farmer, Ver-
mont is preferable 10 Ohio, or any other
aew Stale To-day Vermont is the pref
cradle spot; a short time hence, when
she is placed in her right position as to
means Of access to market, we believe
there is not an Agricultural State in the
Union which will begin to hold a can
die TO her." For beef, butter, cheese,
and wool, she possesses peculiar advan-
tages, which no section of the country
can rival and even in the GO crack crops"
of the West-their wheat, corn, and
oats--Vermont can equal the best of
them, acre for acre. 1t is to the crops
in Ohio for the past season that we call
attention, remarking that the season was
unusually favorable. We give the avsr-
age production per acre, and value, from

will state few things which have
learned, and they may be of benefit to
your readers. A horse that is driven on
hard roads is liable to get stiff in his
joints. In 1888 | had an animal, after
driving three or four days, get quite
lame. An old Baltimore teamster told
me to wash the mares legs with toler-
able salt brine, which was done accord
ingly three times a day for at least one
week, and once day for the balance of
the journey. The stiffness disappeared
in few days, and | drove the mare =
400 miles afterwards, and there was no
more trouble on that account. What
pleased me most was, the mare had a
very poor loot to hold a shoe, when
started. 1t was very brittle and hard .
1t would break out when nail was nut
in,;but it grew together at ever sh po'
ing. A blacksmith in New England ST. 20
marked 10 me that her foot had a simon

was soft and tough. account for il in

ACE OF SHEEP.

The age of sheep may be known by
examining the front teeth. They are s
in number, and appear during the first
wear all of small size. In the second
year the two middle ones fall out, and
their place is supplied by two new teeth ;
which are easily distinguished by being
Of large size. In the Sd year two 9TH
er small teeth, one from each side, drop
out and arc replaced by two large ones,
so that there are now four large teeth in
the middle, and two pointed ones at
each side. In the 4th year, the large
teeth are in number, and only small
ones remain, one at each end of the
range. In the 9Th year, the remaining
small teeth are lost, and the whole front
teeth are large. In the 9th year, they
all begin 10 be worn, and in the It'll, or
sometimes sooner, some fall out or else
are broken of.--JNomtain Shepherds

HONEST AND HAPPY.

by @. L1NNEUs BANKS, ESQ.
There's much in the world that is doubtful,
There's much we shall meier understand
why rirtus should live in Poor-houss,
And Yiee on the fat of the land.
For those who are fretful and pceyish,
This duty remains to fulfil
But try TO be honest and happy,
And let the world do as it will
The poor wretch who walks upon cru'cnesi
MAY often be cnved, far more
Than he who in splendid appaiei
Can shut on the beggar his door
He cares not tor clarct and sheuyj
OF venison he has not his fill
Yet daros to be honest and happy,
And lets tho world do as II will.
He boastcd no lordly possessions,
No livery at table to wait;
He maketh no hollow professions
To cheat his friend, sooner or la,ci
lie ruins no Woodworking tradosmnn,
Who gets but a curse for his billj
But tries to be honest and happy,
And lets the world do as it will.
He Joins not the bowl or the wossail,
lie seeks not the gambler or sot;
Contentment and health are the blessings
That daily recur to his lot;
And whilst in the midst of his children
Good precepts he strives to instli
And lets the world do as ii will
oh who then would grumblo at fortune,
Though sorrow and toiling betde p
The man who with ioedih is Uilqin,
Might be rDtuOus were it denied
Too much may o'erburden and sink you,
Too little oft keep you from i'll;
Then try to be honest and happy,
And let the world do as ii will.
The man who with plenty is honest,
Hath little to ask for his name
But he who, though humble, is upright,
Shall live in the annals of Fame.
The vicious may mock at his mom'ry,
But ages will think on him still,-
Then strive to be honest and happy,
And let the world do as it will
