Sensible Hog.

more in that vicinity. While there, had
occasion to notice the movement OF sun
dry hogs which came down to the beach
at low tide, to feed upon the clans which
abound in the sand. You are aware tina,
the tide rises 80 or 40 1t in That part OF
the country. The consequence is. that
it must come and recede very rapidly
so swift indeed does if rise, that cattle, un-
acquainted with the state OF things, mol
unfreauently get overtaken by the water
and drowned. The olds hogs in those
parts however. get accustomed to tht
tide.a They find out not only that u
waits for no man," but that it waits 10

Young Lambs.

1t is a very nice operation to raise
young lamb, after he refuses food. has
cold mouth, stiff neck. &c.
We have been successful in hydropathy
on men and animals, contrary to the old
practice. Put the lamb into bucket o.
water as warm as you can hold your
hand in without scalding, let him remain
there about four minutes, or until all tre-
NOR subsidies. Then take him out. and
wipe him over with warm cloth or sponge,
and if not too far gone. give him table
spoonful of warm drink. Strong green
tea, or gin ger tea. adding sugar and milk
or all mixed together, are good. Hot WOO
blankets should be in readiness, and
wound close around him, covering all
but his heed from the air; let there be two
sets and change often. As soon as he is
revived, as to act like eating, give him g
tea-spoonful or two of milk, warm iron
The eve; or s.new cows milk"
As soon as he is hungry, and not before
feed him lightly. Here the great secre
lies, in feeding and rearing young lambs
We are apt to over feed; this often kills
them. Their stomachs are weak, they
s cannot digest but little at time; there
fore, feed but little, and often, at first.
i Let us reason. OF what use is an ex
ira quantity of food forced into the stom
ach, where there is not sufficient garsti'
fiuice, the solyant of food, and othe
chemical agents. which weak nature ha

THE Next Wheat Crop.

Our correspondence from various quar-
ters, sneak unfavorable Of the growing
wheat crop. The general openness ofthe
winter has so much exposed the ground,
that the plants have been thrown out by
changes of frosts and thaws. A mild wet
spring may restore large portion OF the
roots to suitable cover, by which they will
throw out new stools, and disappoint pres
ent expectations. AS soon as the freez,
| ing weather is past. it would be OF good
service to go over the wheat fields with a
roller, by which the roots would be press
ed into the earth, so that they might grow
again. We give few items from differ
ent parts of the State, to show the present
opinion on the prospects OF the wheat
crop:
| Hon. c.. Stowe. writes US from Ashta-
bula county 1--WE have had hard
winter for wheat and clover, so much
freezing and thawing, and very little snow
