the rounds every year, as indeed they ought

Mix, occasionly, one part Of salt with four.
FIVE or six parts of wood ashes, and give the
mixture 10 different kinds of stock, summer and
winter. It promotes their sppetites and tends
to keep them in healthy condition. 1t is said
10 be good against bots in horses, murrain in
cattle, and rot in sheep.
HOrse.radish root is valuable for cattle. II
creates an appetite, and is good for various dis
eases. Some give it to any animal that is un-
well. II is good for oxen troubled with the
heat. If animals will not eat it voluntarily,
cut 1t up fine and mix II with potatoes or meal.
Feed all animals regularly. They not only
look for their food at the usual time, but the
stomach indicates the want at the stated per-
iod. Therefore feed morning, noon and even

American WOoI.

Our daily papers state that all The broad
cloth manufactures in our country have stop
ped operations because they cannot compete
with The brosdelOth manufacturers Of France.
Belgium, and Germany. The reason given is,
that American wool Is excellent for warp, max
ing hard. strong vOOllen yarn for this purpose,
but is Unsuitable for wen. as il wants that silky
sOftness peculiar TO German wool, which must
be purchased for this purpose, but on which
there Is g duty Of 80 per cent, which gives
great advantages TO the German manuiactur-
ers. This seems TO contradict the statements
published in many of our papers respecting the
superior quality Of American fine wool, for
which the prize was awarded in competition
with German wool in 1851, ct the London
Worlds Fair.
Mr.. Ewbank, in his new book, The world q
Workshop. states that the clip Of wool in the
U. States in 1850, only amounted to 62,5l6,-
9b9 lbs, while that Of Australia amounted Ia
70, 900. 900 lbs, and that Of England to ia0,'
OoO, 900 lbs. English wool is not used fOI
brOadcloth; il is used chiefly for hsnnels, wool
en- yarns, and coarse cloths. The Australian,
German, and Cape Wools are used for broadI
cloth; the German-being the fnest-is used
for making the best quality Of this cloth. 1t il
our opinion that our farmers residing in the
billy regions Of our Southern States can raise
as fine wool as the Germans, and as chear. II
cannot be expected that wool can be raised as
cheap in the Northern States, because sheeI
require so much indoor feeding during the
winter season, but in Tennessee, Missouri
Georgia, and all the billy regions of our South
en States, no housing nor handfeeding is re-
quired for sheep in winter Scientific Amer-
can.
