Young lambs are aoming a.
this time in all flocks where the
bucks are not separated from the
ewes aud turned in at particular
seasons. This result is a great
loss; first Of lambs, second ofewes
and third Of wool. OF all the
lambs, dropped in January and
February, about one-half die Of
cold or hunger, which is an i'm
mense loss to the country. The
small Aocls kept by our farmers
are genera wintered in the fields
and when lambing in excessively
cold or rainy weather, many Of
them die, or are lost before spring;
and ewes sucking lambs through
the winter, seldom have more than
half a crop of wool.
Let us cast up n little, and see
what we have lost. Say we have
a flock Of fifty sheep, one third
wethers and the other two-thirds
(say 33) ewes, and cared for as
the flocks of this country gener-

t. Wheat Prospect in the West.


e leo from gentleman, who

the States of the Northwe lring
the past six weeks, that the ,spect
Of the wheat crop was never better
In Iowa large quantity has been
sown, but so great is the immigration
to that State, and so rapidly did it. ill
up last season, that a large portion of
the surplus will be required for the
new settlers there and in Kansas and
Nebraska. Throughout Illinois. it. is
repre- sonted tina. the crop never looked
BET Fl. The high prices of the last
few : RS, and the almoss certainty
that there will be little saatsrlent dn-
ring the present. have ated the
farmers to sow to an eA,-as beyond
precedent. And the same may be
said of Wisconsin. The prospect there
is. that the abundant crop of last year
will be succeeded by one equally good
this.
We hear good reports too from In
diana and Michigan. On the whole.
if no untoward event interposes be-
tween now and harvest, the North
west-which is in fact. the 'nnary
Of the Union-will turn out surplus
which will gladden. tie hearts of the
breadless in our eastern cities.
There will be comparatively few men
engaged in the construction of rail-
roads in the West during the present
season, all the lines being nearly COM
pleted. This viii reduce the consump
ton OF producers, and cause a
large amount of labor TO return to ag-
riculture--thus increasing our surplus
by the operation of two causes. So

active fall business and 4 iull supply
Of breadstuffs, unless blight or mil

shall blast the fair prospects OF th.

Don't Use unrottsd Manures

Farmers are in the habit of
taking manure on to their land in
an unrotted or undecomposed
state-unrotted straw, aud horse
manure, so applied, is worse than
vain. Before it can DO used by
plants, it must be entirely decom-
posed. The fist stage OF decom-
position forms a dry mold, which
draws moisture to itself, instead
of furnishing it to plants. In
this state before it is decomposed
sufficiently to yield any nourish-
ment to plants, the best season
for crops, a vigorous, early start
is necessary. If they are injured
by any cause that retards an
early start, they viii never recov-
er. They are untitled to stand
the intense heat and drouth Of
midsummer, unless they have
a favorable start, by which their
roots are spread and deep. 1.-THE
roots are spreadand deep, into dry
mouldy stravs, or horse dung,
the summer sun will penetrate to
them, and destroy them. To be
beneficial, it should be rotted IN
til it is suitable for roots to be set
in, and not put plants in it, and
then wait for it to rot.---Ohi0
