SHEEP SnEAREG BY MACHINERY - In the
list OF patent Claims issued from the U. 5.
Patent Office for the week ending April %,
il one to Palmer Lancaster, Of Burr Oak,
Michigan, for nothing less than a machine
for shcaring sheep, instead Of pair of sheep
shears The Scientific American says that
"lhe machine is small and neat is hung by
strap TO the arm Of the operator, and placed
on the body OF the sheep TO be shorn. By
simply turning the handle back and forth,
and moving the machine over the body OF
the sheep, the wool is made to fly in double
quick time. 1t is we'll known that the most
skilfll hands at sheep saearing do not cut
the fleece even, and, besides, the skin OF the
animal is invariably clipped out by the
shears in many spots. The implement cuts
the fleece rapidly and evenly, never cutting
any part Of the work twice, and it avoids
cutting the skin OF the animal. 1t is there
fore a humane as well as new con,ri.

Real Estate, Enterprise, &c.


The high price Of all kinds Of produce
have giyena new impulse to the price of re-
al estate throughout the state. Our farmers
are now mostly out of debt, and, making mo-
ney faster than they need for improvements
upon their present farms arc wisely and
proitably investing their surplus funds in
wild lands. The immigration into the state is
also very large this season, and we daily hear
of new farms being opened in every direc-
ton.
We had n clear Illustration Of the rapid
growth Of our county a short time since, in
taking a short tour into the country
Where but five years ago We were in the ha-
bit of-huntng-where the uncultiyated
prarcs lay like boundloss ocean all around
us, and where no human habitaton was Wis
ible; where the wolf, unmolested, lived Sc
curely in his long inhabited den, and the in
nocent deer, in frolicsome glee, sported over
the plain, half buried in its luxuriant pas
lures, now lay outs.retched rich fields Of
corn, wheat and oats. The wolf haunts are
supplanted by good and substantial farm
houses, and instead Of herds of deer, the
plains teen with drovcs Of horses and cattle.
The old roads are obliterated, and for the
faint Indian trails, broad and well beaten
lanes are substituted. Where no sound bu,
the melancholy murmurings of the prairie
winds was heard, now roars the thunder OIL
the passing train, and the green groves that
knew few notes but the songs Of the birds
hurl back the echo of the loud neigh Of tht
iron horse. So entirely had the scene chan.
ged in those five short years, that scarcely {
vcstigc Of recognition remained, and we ga.
zcd upon it in wonder and admiration.
Five years ago many Of these same lands
were owned by the government, and wer,
entered with warrants at cost Of but It'll,
over 81 per acre; now they arc greedily
bought at from 50 to $50 per acrc-price,
which still pay better per centage on The
money than any other Investment the far
mcr can make.
Judging, then, from the progress our state
has made during the past five years, wha
may we not anticipate for the next five years
to Gomez The wealth that is now scattcre,
over our prairics is capable Of doing more il
one year than heretofore could be accom-
plshcd in five and the daily changes tina
are taking place, proves conclusively that i
is not lying idle. The spirit of enterpris
porvsdes every inch of our soil, and ever,
hour is rife with new evidences of its sue
cess.

Gas PROM WArEn-Dr Taylor, of Clevc-
land, is said TO have succeeded in the pro-
duction of brilliant light and intense heat
by the decomposition Of water. The appa-
ratus is said by the Ptoindeaier to be sim
pie, and the light equal to that of the best
quality of gas, and superior in color, it be-
inga slightly orange tint, and producing not
the least smoke. A gentleman Of Cleveland
compared the apparatus with that Of Paine,
and found them entirely unlike. The ex'
pcnsc Of the gas, It is represented, will be
next to nothing. DR.. Taylor and his friends
are said to be going east to procure an appa
ratus on an extended scale and Of perfect
workmanship. On his return he will give
the public chance to see and judge fol
themselves. We do not advise shutting up
OF the gas-houses for the present. Pains
pretended discovery was announced with
equal confidence. Oh. Press,

PLATE GAS. An article for which We
have heretofore paid tribute to France, Eng.
land, and Germany,is now successfully manu-.
featured at Williamsburg, n. j. This is the
only establishment Of the kind in the United
States This establishment can now manu-.
iacture plates Of Glass, 200 by 400 inches,
and from to 3 inches thick. The duty on
imported plate glass is 80 per cent. Blu,
the risk, brcahage, &c, has made the cost Of
it here about 90 per cent. above manufactu.
rer's prices. The only attempt ever before
made in this country, to manufacture plate
glass, was at Cheshire. II, however proved
to be failure, and the Company abandoned
the scheme, at loss Of over 5000, 900.

To SAVE FRUIT Trees, For preventing
forkcd fruit trees from splitting under theil
weight of fruit, Mr. Isaac Lewis, Of Hop
kinsvile, Kentucky has given us his plan
which may be performed by any one. "My
plan he writes, (which have followed fol
thirty years in this When find a forked
tree that is likely to split, look for small
limb on each fork, and clean them of leaves
and lateral branches for most of their length
then carefully bring them together and
wind them around each other from one
main branch to the other, In ~ months
they will have united, and in two years the
ends can be cut off, This brace will grow
as fast as any other part of the tree, and is
perfect security from splitting. ] have
them now of all sizes, and scarcely ever
knew one to fail to grow."-Lduisrille Jour
