Hoac to Winter One Hun9rcd Sheep from T1c0
AcrcS Of Lond.-We have been accused OF indu-
cling planters 10 try visionary experiments. We
hardly know what meaning those who use the word
| visionary would put to it in this connection, nor
do we care. We have faith in the following pro-
ject of producing fodder enough on two acres Of
land to winter hundred sheep. But, says Mr..
Doubtful, it must be made very rich. OF course
it must. That wont hurt the land in the least
But how will you do it, In The first place, make
the land very rich. Manure i: generously plough
it thoroughly, harrow it fine, roll it smoo!h put
on the marker and mark it into rows three feet
apart, and SOW Indian corn in drills. Hoe it twice,
and aferahe second hocing take your seeds
and sow between each Two rows OF corn a row o.
fiat turnp-seed. After your has spindled,
cut it up let it wilt, then tie ii up in bundles and
shock it up as you do corn-stalks which you have
cut in the usual way, and let them stand until dry.
1t would moi be strange if you had six OF Eod-
der per when they were sufficiently dry TO
put into the barn. This will be twelve TONS (rrem
two acres.O Now, to winter one hundred sheep,
you ought 10 have twenty tons of fodder Yon
have got twelve of them and want eight more. or
four tons from each acre. The turnIps ought to
produce this amount. Let us see. Allowing
busheE Of turnips 10 weigh 60 pounds-in order
to have four tons on acre you should raise 1881
bushels. Will no: your land produce ItIs amount
alter taking away the Indian corn crop 7
So ycu will have your twenty tons of food from
Two acres. But will sheep eat the corn. stalks
Yes, we have tried that. just the stalks
through a straw cutler and feed them oui to The
sheep, and they will cal them all up. We have
tried it, and several others have tried il. Then
run your tusRips through a vegetable cutter, and
they will eat them all up clean. The sheep should
be young and hearty, and have good teeth. Who
Will try the experiment this year1 We are bound
TO, for one.-Hai,,e Farmer. .-....L-

TIE "DRUGGED LIoUOR" AT Concord N. Fl.
1t turns out tlIathe ''drugged liquor" OF which
so much was said during the late session Of the
New Hampshire Legislature, as having been al.
ministered to certain democratic members during
the Sena atorial contest, was not drugged in the
ordinary way. In other words, it was sweetened
with Peruvian or Chincha Island sugar, commonly
called guano. A correspondent of the Manchester
Democrat asserts this to be tho fact:
1t seems that in back room OF the hotel where
liquor was kept, Mr.. Uri Lamprey, an agent Of
the New York Guano Company, who was at the
same hotel, had with him several choice samples
of pulverized guano, which he kept in bowls, and
favorable occasions exhibited them 10 his friends
among members. One evening, being hastily
called out, he incautIousy set away his puIverizrd
samples on the same shelf with the sugar bowls.
Shortly after, Of the members, wishing 10
'strengthen the inner man." went into the closet,
which was not yet lighted up, and having used the
decanters, took also very freely OF the sweeteping
from the gnano bowls. Several important results
foIlowed-the chief OF which the immediate
hlling of IN the vote for Mr.. Wells for United
States Senaor-the drugged members being una.
voidably detained from their seats.

f. SPoILING AN APPETITE.--The Rev. DR.. Allyn,
formerly Pastor Of the Congregational Church in
Duxbury, Mass. one OF the old time eccentri-
cities Of that State. Among the anecdotes reIated
Of him, we find the following good one in The New
England Farmer:
During visit to Boston, on certain occasion
he was invited 10 dine with an acquaintance, who
once failed, but then lived in great style. He en-.
tered the house. just before the dinner hour, and
after glancing at the osentatious parade upon the
table, and the other extensive arrangements made
TO entertain him, he quietly slipped of. His sud.
den disappearance excited no little wonder. The
feast was delayed, bW The guest was not seen again
that day. Some time after, he called upon his
friend, and on being asked for an explanation Of
bis conduct, he replied that when he saw what nm
elegant dinner was IN preparation for him, the re.
membrance that his poor neghbor and parshoner

A SILENT SEA CAPTArN.-Cept. Stone, Of the
steamer Canada, now in this port, is probable the
most silent man afloat. Sailors who. have been
with hin, many months, say they never heard HIM
speak. He writes his orders to his officers, and
il they fail in carrying them oui, he Teprimands
them in writing. Yet he has the reputation Of
being one Of The most skiliul and prudent captains
Of the Cunard line, and remarkable for his powers
of personal endurance. When at sea he rarely
leaves the deck, night or day, more than an hour
lime and nothing appears to escape his notice.
Still he does not speak, either 10 his officers or
passengers. On recent passage two wags, who
passengers in his Ship noticed This peculiarly,
and at dinner one day quite eloquent upon
the blessings OF speech, and then, by way of con-
trust, expressed their deepest commseratIorAJor
dumbes. One of tic wags was so overcome by
his feelings that he deliberately took onion from
his pocket and applied it to his right eye, while he
gazed at Capt. Stone with the left. 'Poor, dear
genem4n." he sobbed, as the tears followed tho
onion 81 wonder If he is deaf well as dumb"
This was too much Cor the passengers, who burst
into roar Of laughter, in which Capt Stone joined
heartily as the rest. When order restored,
he said, '.Geniemen and Ladies. or Ladies and
Gentlemen, acknowledge that | appear TO dis
advantage by not speaking more than do but
what would you have me to say? ltI my constant
care to see that you are properly attended to in
every particular. What more you desire :"
A tier this effort, he resumed silence, and has not
been knoYp to speak since.-BostOn AtlaS.
