LIGHT FOR AN1MALs.-We are ofte
impressed with the gross neglect Of 9TH
erwise intelligent men, in not securing
abundant light for animal and plant a
like and; 20 each and every human being
light, as we'll as warmth, is absolutely
indispensable. Put plant in cellar
and ii will grow up colorless, flexible,
healhless. Put it in dark place, and
vet give it air, and it will hardly do
better Yet people will attempt to bring
up animals imprisoned and housed. In.
some public remarks we had occasion
to make, we stated that pig would not
grow, if deprived of light. We soon
after met an old gentleman, and he had
lived sixty years without discovering the
fact, and the first words he addressed to
us were :-"Well, you told me why my
pigs would not grow. Two years ago
put in snug place in my barn,
six pigs. 1t was warm but dark, and
they were fed through the floor. In
the spring took them out, and they
looked like rats. They hadn't grown a
pound" A farmer ofour acquaintance
was some time since driving fine mare.
We asked him how she became blind.
He told us that he put her and three
year old horse into a perfectly dark
stable in the fall, and in the spring,
coon after they came to light, they went
stone blind. These illustrations show
conclusively, that light is necessary TO
every living end growing thing. Our
barns are not light enough. Our hou-
ses, too many Of them are too destitute
of light. Parents pursue blind and
benighted course, when they encourage
their children in living housed and
imprisoned, when they encourage them
in enveloping their faces under i'm
penetrable wells, lest their cheeks should
blister. You cannot blister the cheek
Of cherry or peach. Better remem-
Der that the rudy glow of priceless
health, and the life and animation
that irradiate beauty, can never exist in
perfection, unless in full and free expos
ure to air and sunlight. Toledo

STRUCK BY LIGHTNiNG.-This is the
season when deaths from this source &C.
cur; and few, who do not look to the
summary know how many there are. In
all cases where persons are struck down
by lightning, use cold water for hours ;
don't be discouraged if immediate sue
cess is not attained, but persevere, and
if after three or four hours drenching
animation is not restored, add salt to the
water and continues the show ering,
which is rendered colder by saline mix
ture. If possible administer the douche

WASHING SHrEP.-This practice ef
our fathers and most at the present day
is beginning to be looked upon with less
favor than formerly. For home manu-
facture is perhaps well enough.
But now we sell the wool we produce
TO be handed over TO the manufacturer
and can therefore wisely dispense with
the unpleas ant task of rolling our sheep
about in the water, to wash the coats
upon their backs, suhiecting them and
their offspring, in many cases, to the
exposure and risk of life; and lasting
injuries are frequently contracted bY
the men who are thus exposed to cold
clements Of a sheep-washing.
This race Of animals are not constitu-
ted to be exposed to the wet, unlike mos
any other, and studiouSly avoid walking
thro'or standing in the water, though ever
so shallow.
The dense fleece, supplied with ami
nal oil, wise nature has very necessari-
ly provided them to protect them in the
cold, and shelter them during storms
Pour six quarts Of cold wather along
the back of a sheep Immediately after
being shorn and he will die.
AS we view it, ii would be as consis-
tent, and more so, to lead an army Of
soldiers into water, on by one, TO wash
his clothes while remaining upon him,
as TO partly cleanse a fleece of wool
while growing upon those animals.
We have dispensed with washing
our wool upon the sheep for the last
three seasons. The manufacturer de-
ducts one-fourth, or more, to make it e.
quail TO the average of washed fleece
wool. We give it as our opinion, that
fhis habit Will not be continued through
another generation.-T Alb. Cultivator.
