1t Is more importance to the farmer
than is generally supposed, that GER
tain proportion of his farm stock should
consist Of sheep. Speaking on this point
r. S. Fay, of Lynn, recently remarked
at an Agricultural meeting in. Boston las
reported in the N. E. Farmsf.l "sheeu
are cleaners after other stock. and will
help keep the cattle Pastures in good con-
dition by being turned into them occa-
sionally, to eat the coarser plants which
have been left. Taey will enrich the
land. There is no manure so fertilizine
as that of sheep, AID it does not so readi-
ly waste by exposure as that of other
animals. Sheep may be made exceeding
iy useful in helping to prepare land for a
crop. A German agriculturalist has cal
eulated that the droppings from one thou
sand sheep during single night would
manure an acre sufficiently. By that
rule farmer may determine how long to
keep any given number of sheep on a
particular piece of land. Mr.. Fay said
he was accustomed to fold his sheep upon
land which he designed for corn and
other crops; and in so doing he shut them
upon halt an acre at a time, keeping them
there by wire fence, which was easily
moved from place to place. In this way
his land was well MANFRED without the
labor of shoveling and carting." These
ideas are worth reading by the farmer
We believe any farm will bear n certain
number of sheep, in proportion to the
other stock, not only without loss to the
amount of grazing which it win yield to
the cattle and horses, but to increase Of
the same. Mr.. Fay, by his management,
makes the lambs and manure pay for keep
ing the sheep, and the wool is clear
profit.

CLOVER HAY FOR HoRsEs.-I have
frequently heard it observed, that horses
fed for any considerable length of time
on clover hay, are liable to be attacked
by cough. 1t is also asserted that this
kind of feed greatly aggravates, if it does
not occasion the heayes. Now, there are
two remedies for this, either of which, if
applied judiciously, viii prove entirely
efectual. One is to feed from Manager,
instead of the common horse rack. The
common method of curing clover hay,
renders the foliage so dry and crisp, that
it crumbles in being forcibly drawn
through the Stats or rounds of the rack,
occasioning a fine, almost impalpable
dust, which, on being inhaled, irritates
the lungs, and occasions coughs, &c
Another and more economical method is
to cure clover hay in the proper way.
By curing it in the cock, its foliage viii
wilt and dry without being deprived of
its sweetness or elasticity, and will not
crumble. This is held to be the most
economical, as it not only enables us to
save much trouble in the busy season Of
haying, but obviates the serious loss from
the breaking and falling off of the finest
and most valuable parts.-Ge-mant0urn

AhtiqpitY Of tha !. o. Of o. 81.

We iud the following in an old Eng
lish paper. from a speech delivered by
Mr.. Cooper. at a meeting of the Order of
Greenock, Scotland. Mr.. Cooper said !:
.'The origin Of the Order Of Odd Eel
lows is Of very great antiquity. 1t was
established by the Roman soldiers, in
the camp, during the reign of Nero. in
the year 55. At that time they were
called "fellow citizens" The present
name was given them BY Titus Caesar, in
the year 10, from the singularity of their
meeting, and from their knowing each
other by night or day, and by their fidel-
ity to him and their country. And he
not only gave them the name of Odd Fell
lows, but at the same time, as a pledge
OF friendship, presented them with a dis
pensation, engraven on a plate of gold,
bearing different emblems, such as the
sun, moon and stars, the lamb, the lion,
and the dove, and other emblems of mo-
rality. The first account of the Order
being spread in other countries is in the
tifteeneh century, when it was established
in the Spanish dominions, and in the
sixth century by King Henry, in Portu-
gal, and in the eleventh century it was
established in France, and afterwards by
John d. Neville, in England, attended
by five knights from France, who form
ed Loyal Grand Lodge of Honor in
London, which order remained until the
twelfth centuryyewhena part of them be-
gan to form themselves into union, and
portion of them remain up to this day
the Lodges which are now very nu-
merous throughout the world, and call
themselves the Loyal Ancient Odd Eel
lows, being portion of the original body.
The Manchester Unity is of a more re-
cent date, although there is no doubt of
its emanating from the same source. Its
first introduction into Manchester was
about the year 1900, by few individuals
from the Union in London, formed them
selves into Lodge, and continued in
connexion with them for some time, when
some difference caused them to declare
themselves Independent, and thus have
kept their work independent.

EVIDENCES OF Coon FARSuxG.-The
requisites and evidence of good farming
have thus been enumerated by good au-
thority "a good soil, well titled, and
kept from various weeds; lots well fenced
and suited IN number to the size Of the
farm; substantial and convenient barns
and stables of sufficient dimensions to
contain the produce of the farm, and to
comfortably house the cattle kept on it;
judiciously arranged dwelling, in a
neat condition, with well, and filtering
cistern; convenient buildings to faeili-
tate the economical management of the
farm-such as a wood-house, a wagon
and tool house, workshop, granary and
corn house, convenient piggery, an ice
house, ash and smoke house-all secured
against decay by being we'll raised from
the ground and neatly painted or white
washed; convenient yards attached to
the barns and stables, so arranged as to
prevent waste Of the liquid manure, well
sheltered from the blasts of winter, and
provided with water-for the cattle; door
yards laid with grass and flower beds,
and shaded by ornamental trees, indicat-
ing the dwelling of taste, health and COM
fort; kitchen garden highly cultivated,
and containing the various species of
vegetables raised in our climate, with
strawberry and asparagus beds; fruit
garden or orchard, where choice apples,
cherries, plums, raspberries, gooseber-
ries, currants, &C., are found"

A FRAGMEST.-Swiftly glide our wears
they follow each other like the waves
of the ocean. Memory calls up the per-
sons we once knew-the scenes in which
we were once the actors they appear be-
fore the mimi like phantoms of a night
vision. Behold the boy rejoicing in the
gayety of his soul-the wheels of Time
cannot roll too rapidly for him-the light
of hope dances in his eye-the smile of
expectation plays upon his lip-ke looks
forward for long years of joy to come
his spirit burns within him when he hears
of great men and mighty deeds-he longs
to mount the hill of ambition, to tread the
path of honor, to hear the shout of ap-
plauSe. Look at him again-he is now
in the meridian of life-care has stamped
wrinkles upon his observation-disclosures
has dimmed the lustre of his eye-sorrow
has thrown its gloom upon his counte-
nance-he looks back upon the waking
dreams of youth, and sighs for their fu-
tility-each revolving year seems to d.
minish something from his stock of hap
piness, and he discovers that the season Of
youth--when the pulse of anticipation
beats highs the only season of enjoy
ment. Who is he of the aged locks T?
His form is bent and totters-his footsteps
move more rapidly towards the tomb
he looks back upon the past-his days
appear to have been but few, and he con-
fesses they were evil-the magnifcence of
the world fades from his view, and he
sinks down into the silehce of the grave.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Baltimore r

A correspondent of the Baltimore Re-
publican writing from Washington, says:
We met COL Sam. Stambaugh to-day
in the rotunda of the Capitol, and while
we were looking at the carved represen-
tations over the doorways of the rotunda,
the veteran Indian agent told us that in
1880, with delegation of the Menominee
Indians. he visited the Capitol. and ex-
planned the nature and design Of the stone
groups in the rotunda, when the chief,
" Grizzly Bear" turned to che eastern
doorway. over which there is represen-
tation of the landing of the Pilgrims, and
said, There, Ingen give white man corn;'
and to the north, representing PENIS trea-
ty, There Ingen give UNI land;;' and to
the west, where Pocahontas is seen saving
the life of Captain Saith, There, Ingen
save um life;' az, ia2!ly to the south.
where the hardy pioneer, Daniel Boone,
is seen plunging his knife into the heart
of red man, while his foot is planted on
the dead body of another, And there,
white man kill Ingen.' Alas said we,
it is true, and pity tits, tits true.'

a FAIR OFFER.-Dr. Franklin made
tho following offer to a young man.
q" Make" said he, ga full estimate of all
you owe, and of what is owing to you.
Reduce the same to a note. As fast as
you can collect, pay over to those you
owe. If you cannot collect, renew your
note every year, and get the best security
you can. Go to business diligently, and
be Industrious waste no idle moments /;
be very economical in all things; discard
all pride; be faithful in your duty to God,
by regular and hearty prayer morning and
night; attend church and meeting regular
every Sunday and do unto all men as
you would they should do unto you. II
you are too needy in circumstances 10 give
to the poor, do whatever else in your pow
er for them cheerfully, but if you can,
always help the worthy poor and unfor-
tunste. Pursue this course diligently and
sincerely Tor seven years, and if you are
not happy, comfortable, and independent
in your circumstances, come to me, and
I will pay your debts. Young people,
try it.

NIeHT.-Night levels all artificial dis
tinctions. The beggar on his pallet of
straw. snores as soundly as the king on
his bed OF down. Night-the earthly
paradise Of the slave, the sweet oblivion
of the care-worn soul, the nurse of poetry,
of devotion-how the great painting heart
of society years for the return of night
and rest Sleep is Gods special gift to
the poor, but for the great there is no
fixed time for repose. Quiet they have
none; and instead of calmly awaiting
the approach Of events, they fret and re-
pine and starve sleep, and chide the tardy
hours, as if every tomorrow were big
with the fate of some great hereafter.
The torrent of events goes roaring past,
keeps eager expectation constantly on
tiptoe, and drives timid slumber away.
There is something strangely beautiful
in the contemplation of night-when the
smiling stars seem to do homage to their
pale-faced queen, and the clouds float ST.
lently through the tranquil sky, and the
wind speaks in soft whispers, as if fear
full of waking the sleepers. Such IS the
sweet repose Of blameless conscience. But
when the hues Of evening slant dimly
away, when the cherries curtains Of dark
ness are drawO. when erial shadows loom
up and fit along ths vaultcd arch ." like
grim ghosts trailing blackness through
the heavens, such IS the fearful shadow
that hangs over the broken slumbers in
which there is no peace.

IMPORTANT FAcr. - The American
Agricultural Journal says that pound
of lean, tender, juicy mutton can be rails
ed for half the cost of the same quantity
of fatpork. Sheep can be kept in fine
growing order where other domestic ami
mails will scarcely exist, and thousands
of acres in the State. under an enlightend
system of she'p lnsbandry, may be made
to pay good interest, where now they
are nearly dead property in the hands Of
their present owners.

SCYTHEs.-A complaint is efteE made
by vorkmen of their scythes not acting
well, of the edge not cutting uniformly,
and the form being wrong, de-; now the
form best suited to each mower may be
tested by a very simple experiment. Let
a man with a piece of chalk in his hand,
walk up to high wall, or barn door,
and raising it as high as he can, strike a
curve from right to left; the line so
traced is the exact form that his scythe
should be; and if he applies the edge of
it, and finds it to correspond, it will cut
uniformly from point to heel, and save
himself much trouble and labor.

TAKING CARE OF FARM IMPLEMENTS. s.
Every farmer should have a house for
keeping his implements 1t should be
tight and dry; and adapted for repairing,
altering, cleaning and sharpening them.
Every implement, when not required for
use, should have its proper place, and
before it is laid past for winter, all the
bright metal belonging to it should be
carefully dried and well CREASED to pre-
vent iusting. Rust is viper which poi
sons the farmers purse many farmers
allow their plows, harrows and cultiva-
tors to rust and rot in the corners of open
damp sheds, during six months of the
year, and they seem surprised that their
implements do not last longer. All farm
implements, after having been used dur
ing the spring, summer and fall, should
have their woodwork painted, also
their coarse metal work and every Folt
and nut should be oiled. The loss Of an
ounce of iron by rust is equal to the loss
of an ounce of gold. oarefnlness in all
things economy, and little extra trou-
BILE saves extra expense.

To MAKE HORSE Follow YoU-You
MAY make horse follow you in ten min
utes. Go to the horse, rub his face. jaw,
and chin, leading him about, saying to
him, come along; constant tone is ne
cessary. By taking him away from 9TH
er persons and horses, repeat the rubbing,
leading and stopping. Sometimes turn
aim around all ways, and keep his at
teation by saying, come along. With
some horses it is important to whisper
to them, as it hides the secret and gentles
the horse; you may use any word you
please, but be constant in your tone Of
voice. The same will cause all horses
to follow.
