made of perforated sheet iron, so there
is no possibility of choking in damp
grain.

NJ. Schiff exhibited the phenomenon
of the rapping spirits. He acquainted
the Academy of Sciences that having
been called to visit young German
girl, who pretended to be possessed
Of a rapping spirit. he really heard
'raps' in the body of the girl; but a
close examination convinced him that
the 'raps' were analogous to the noise
made by cracking the fingers, and that
they were produced on level with the
anklebone, by the tendon of one of the
muscles of the leg; the young girl had
practiced herself to displace the tendon at
will, and to make it fall with noise to
the bottom of the socket, while, at the
same time, no exterior motion betrayed
what was going on; it was only when he
pressed his finger behind the external
malleole at the moment of the rap the
displacement of the tendon became evil
dent and sensible. NJ. Schiff has be-
come 'rapper' as skillful as the Foxes
-as skillful as if he had been one of
those fortunate mortals whom benign
ant fate blessed with faith in the favored
town of Rochester.

HEALTH OF New ORLEANs.-The Bull

~ We have been asked by sundry
good and honest citizens if we are going
to permit the new lottery operation Of
"BurneH d Co." to go on without ex.
posure and rebuke. We have but a
few words to say on this subject
When the first scheme of this concern
was advertised, it was denounced in the
Journal as it deserved. The whole af-
fair was exposed. and the people oi
Ohio were duly put on their guard. Il
was clearly lottery, and the men con.
cerned in it were liable to the pains and
penalties of the statute IN such case
made and provided. 81"
And what has been the result? The
concern has opened an Office on one Of
our principal streets, and has been sci.
ling its tickets Just as publicly as lotte.
ry tickets are sold in Baltimore or Rich.
mond. So far as we know, not an effort
has been made to enforce the law
And, with their eyes open, as to the
character of the transaction and the
prime movers in it, the people of this
State, with perhaps some assistance
from abroad, have purchased these
tickets, and have paid the sum of .Jtis
thousand dollars to the managers. The
drawing has been had. How many
have got more than st cent novel?
Emboldened by this success, and the
impunity with which they are permitted
to operate, another scheme for S3OO,O 600
is now proposed. Farms in Indiana
and Ohio, town lots, DC, are offered as
prizes in this lottery! Well, the fools
are not all dead, and probably won't be
before another winter. Our citizens
understand it, and the people of other
parts of the State understand it. They
know the character of the men and the
business. If they desire to throw away
their money for the benefit of "Burnell
d Co.. they will do SO, and we shall
have nothing more to say on the subject

TUPs-How TREATED.

November is the month for coupling
the eve and sire. AS five months
usually intervene between conception
and delivery, every fiockmaster can de-
eide for himself how early to have his
lambs make their appearance. Ohio can
adopt a period three or four weeks
earlier than Vermont. The buck should
be kept up to generous feed during the
tipping season, and allowed to serve
from 9 to 19 ewes per day only. One
leap is considered sufficient, and the
ewes served should be taken from the
flock and placed in another field. In IL
or IS days, flock of $50 ewes can be
served by one buck, with less. injury to
himself than he would feel by being
turned out to run with go ewes. Again,
his lambs come more vigorous and
healthy, from the fact that they were
begotten when the sire was in proper
trim. After the flock has been all
served, turn the buck and ewes together
for few days, to insure service to any
delinquentS.

Pa.crrcAL HrSrs IN SHEEP HUSBAND
Ry.-AIlow me, through your valuable
journal, to- reply to a few questions
eften put to- us by young wool-growers;
FOULS OR FOOT ROT.
Is il durable, and by what process?
Experience affirms that it can be cured
effectively by the following method: LIST.
Pear and scrspe the hoof most thor
ourhly, ridding it of all offensive mat,
ter by means of a sharp knife. 3D.
Then apply strong decoction of tobac-
co, in which has been dissolved as much
blue vitriol, (pulverized, as viii dis
solve. to which is added small portion
of spirits of turpentine. The vltrlol Is
a caustic-the tobacco is healing-and
the turpentine is penetrating. Ip slight
affections, two applications, FIVE or six
davs apart, will. effect cure. In severe
cases il must be followed up for few
weeks. 1 have known sheep that
walked on their fore-knees, not being
able to touch their fore-feet to the
ground, completely cured by this RENE
dy. Remember that the knife performs
an essential part in the cure; use it thort
oughly. Butter of antimony, lime,
alum, white lead, vitriol, and other
eaustics, have been used and failed
The tobacco is needed to heal.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1854-08-03
SALT IN WINTER.

Place box in the shed, in secure
place, where only one sheep can ap-
proach it at time. Fill this with six
or eight quarts of salk and it will be
found that the flock will partake of it in
such quantities, and at such times, as
nature directs. When the box is
emptied, fill again.
DO SHEEP NEED WATER IN WINTER?
They do, most certainly. A Dutch
man of my acquaintance once shut up a
flock of sheep, and fed them on dry hay
and corn, with no water. Within six
weeks several died. A post mortem
examination came to the very correct
conclusion that they died of thirst
His only excuse was, when interrogated
upon the subject, that "he supposed
sheep could live without water" His
supposition was costly one, and Taught
him an important lesson. He remem-
bers it to the present time. The fluids
of the system must be supplied. Hence
water is highly necessary to the we'll
DelnS OF the f1ock. IS
GRANTS UTILITY-wHIcH is BEST?
The kind and amount of grain fed to
a flock of sheep, will be regulated
wholly by the object in view. For NUT
ton purposes, corn is best, because its
properties are to lay on fat. If growth
of carcass be the object, as it should be
with lambs from four to twelve months
of age, then oats, peas and beans are
the best grains, as their properties are
to favor the growth of bone and muscle
If wool be the main object, then wheat
and rye, peas and beans, are the best
as they contain larger per centage O.
the constituent properties of wool thar
other grains, and directly promote the
wool secretions. Breeding ewes may
be kept in too high condition to bring 3
healthy and vigorous lamb. The error
is usually on the other side. Sheer
that are kept up in close winter quarters
for Eve months, not being permitted to
roam in the fields, greatly feel the need
sof suceulent food. Beets, carrots, tur.
Gallipolis journal. [volume] (Gallipolis, Ohio) 1837-1919, 1854-08-03
SHEDS FOR SHEEP.


Do sheep require housing in the win
fer months? Most certainly; no domes-
tic animal needs it more, and none give
better returns for the outlay. Espe-
cially is this true in Ohio and other
Western States, where the winters are
open and rainy, and the weather very
changeable. Let a flock of sheep be
once thoroughly drenched with rain and
sleet, and then exposed for fifteen hours
to a northwest blast, which freezes the
fleece around them, and consumption
and death will mark many victim,
and ere spring, greatly enhance the
amount of crowbate upon the farm.
Said an enterprising wool-grower of
Vermont, in our hearing the other day,
81 would not have my flock of 600
sheep once thoroughly wet to the hide
in winter, for $50. Rather than suffer
it, would shut them up thirty-six hours
without food or drink" The advan-
tages of housing are manifold. 1st.
A large per centage of deaths are
avoided. End. Much less food is con-
stlmed. Sd. A much heavier and bet
ter fleece is obtained. 4th. The flock
comes through the winter in a much
finer and healthier condition. 5th. The
lambs are more vigorous and likely to
live. In short, reason, economy and
humanity, all conspire to teach the i'm
portant lesson-provide suitable stables
for your sheep. And he who can, and
will not do it, ought himself to sleep
barefooted and alone, on a couch o.
straw, with open windows and under
Ieaky roof, where the winds go piping
and careering through every crack o.
his cabin, for six months at least, until
he shall have learned to sympathize with
the dumb beasts God has committed tc
his care and keeping.
