Increasing the Wool Of Sheep.

A late mum Der Of the Agricultor,
gives Us the following rather tough
yarn upon the latest Improvement
in wool growi1 &. The story, (not-
withstanding the grease is hard to
swallow-but we hardly pretend to
doubt anything these. days:
"About two years 81 nee, farmer
named Virel, residing in the Canton
of Chatelet, had one Of bis sheep s.
riously torn and injured by a dog.
Although he had but little hopes Of
saving the animals life, he decided
on dressingIits wounds, which be did
with some fatty substance mixed
with the juice Of certain plants. =
The animal soon recovered, and in
about two mo nths after, the farmer
remarked that the wool on the parts
which he had rubbed with his prepa-
ration was much finer and longer
than elsewhere. Deter mined to try
further experiment, he last year
pulled off all the wool from the bodies
of six Of his sheep, and rubbed them
with the preparation for three days
following, and then turned them out
with the 9th ers. At the end of Au
gust they were shorn, when. they pro
duced much larger weight Of WOO
than ordinaT y, and Of very superior
quality. | is needless to say tina

Extra Super Soup.

A young acquaint lance Of ours,
who puts up at a s. so boarding
house, relates the following incident,
which may afford useful hint to pro-
vide nutriment for borders with
strong stomachs and weak purses.
One Day last week, says our friend,
the soup produced for our noontide
meal, was uncommonly rich and unc
tuous, possessing a flavor which
proved very conclusively, that an
extra quantity of meat had been
used in the preparation. The board
ers we're all very much surprised and
delighted, but the landlady seemed
to be less pleased by their frequent
dtaughts upon the tureen- A Short
time after dinner, our friend happened
to pass by the kitchen, and overheard
his hostess rating the cook for put
ting the shin of beef 10 the soup
kettle. "IIalf of it, said the eco
nomical provider, "would have been
quite enough for eight boarders, that
pays no more than they does for THEN
vittles.'

Il "You needn't tell me that story,
cried the excited old lady; 81 know
: you've been wasting the money; Sc
