Value of Sheep to the Farmer.

1t Is of more Importance to the farmer
than is generally supposed, that certain
proportion of his farm stock should con-
sist of sheep. Speaking on this point,
R. S. Fay, of Lynn, recently remarked
at an agricultural meeting in Boston, as
reported in the New England Farmer
/" Sheep are cleaners after other stock,
and will help keep the cattle pastures in
good condition by being turned into them
occasionally, to eat the coarser plants
which have been left. They will enrich
the land; there is no manure so fertili-
| sing as that of sheep, and it does not so
readily waste by exposure as that of 9th
er animals. Sheep may be made ex-
ceedingly useful in helping to prepare
land for crop. A German agricultu-
rist has calculated that the droppings
from one thousand 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 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 half an acre at time.
keeping them there by wire fence which
was easily moved from place to place.
In this way his land was well manured
without the labor of shoyeling and cart.
ing" These ideas are worth reading by
the farmer. We believe any farm will
bear certain number of sheep, in pro-
portion to the other stock, not only with
out loss to the amount of grazing which
it will yield to the cattle and horses. but
to the increase of the same. Mr.. Fav
by his management makes the lar,hs I'D
manure pay Tor keeping the sheep, and
the wool is clear profit.

agricultural Reading.
RENOVATING GRASS LANDS.

The very best way, undoubtedly, to
improve meadows or pastures that have
become impoverished, is to pillow them
up, manure heavily, and seed them down
again. IF infested with daisies and
other weeds, they should be broken up in
the fall, and planted with potatoes or
other root crops for several years, and
then laid down to grass. If, however,
the land is low and wet, and weeds not
very troublesome,th they may be plowed in
mid summer, MANFRED and narrowed
thoroughly, and in September sowed
with grass seed~ In most cases, a fair
crop of hay viii be realized the next
season.
But when it is not convenient to pur-
sue this thorough treatment, good eff
feet may be produced by top-dressing.-
Spread good layer of compost or well
rotted manure on the sward, scarify it
with heavy harrow, and sow with a
mixture of six quarts Timothy and one
half bushel each of red top and rye
grass seed 10 the acre, and follow light
harrow to cover the seed. The manure
should be applied quite early in the
spring, so as to be washed by the April
rains. When barn yard manure is not
abundant, various other fertilizers may
be used to good advantage. Guano may
be applied at the rate of two hundred to
three hundred pounds an acre. 1t should
be mixed, week before it is wanted for
use, with dry, vegetable loan, at the rate
of four parts of loan to one of guano,
and applied broadcast, very early in
spring. Lime, (air slaked.) is very use
full to cold, clayey soils it is death on
moses and sorrel. Muck and lime,
mixed at the rate of five cords of the
former to seven bushels of the latter,
often produce surprising effects on worn
out grass fields. Muck mixed with I'M
leaehed ashes, at the rate of a cord Of
the first to ten bushels of the last, is
nearly as good as barnyard manure
Where the land has long been devoted tt
pasturage, it is recommended to give &
dressing of bone dust, ten bushels to the
acre. A mixture of plaster, GROUND
bones and powdered charcoal has alsc
been used with very gratifying results.
We hope our readers, in this matter
will try some of these plans, and send u
, reports of their success.-Amer. Agri

How TO WASH FLANNEL.-Some
washerwomen possess quite knack in
washing flannel, so as to prevent it full
ing. 1t is not the soap-suds, nor rinsing
waters, that thicken up flannel in wash
ing, but the rubbing of it. Cloth is full
ed by being "pounced and jounced'' in
the stocks of the fulling-mill with soap
suds. The action of rubbing flannel on
the wash-board is just the same as that
Of the fulling-mill. Flannel, therefore,
should always be washed in very strong
soap-suds, which will remove the dirt and
grease, by squeezing, better than hard
rubbing will in weak soap-suds. 1t
should also be rinsed out of the soap in
warm water, and never in cold, as the
fibres of the wool do not shrink up as
much III warm water after coming out of
the warm soap-suds. Great care should
be taken to rinse the soap completely out
of the flannel This advice will apply to
the washing Of blankets, the same as it
does to the washing of fannel.-.Scien-

CRANBERRY VINEs.-Cranberry vines
may be set in the fall or spring. Moss,
tan, or anything to retain the moisture,
would be beneficial around the plant after
transplanting, and spring would tend to
keep the weeds out. Planted in drills,
one and half or two feet apart, at two
feet distance each way, it will make ten
thousand plants to the acre. Hoe them
slightly at first until the roots become
clenched, and afterwards no other cult
walton is needed, unless to keep out
weeds and grass. The plants may be ex-
pected to run together and cover the
whole ground in two Or three years.

GARGET.-Mr. Editor,-While read

quantity about one quart daily, given in
the winter, and while the COWS are dry.

TEARS.

Tender, holy and sanctifyiDg are human
tears-crystals of affection and pity
Jewels of the soul. One trickled on the
cheek of a child. 1t had been crossed
in the fulflment of some anticipation,
and from a grieyed heart gushed up the
sympathising tear. Another trembled
from the eye-lid Of youth. He had felt
the touch of bitter reproof, or of dis
appointed love, and to soften his pain and
sorrow came the beautiful tear. Aye, in
a summer bower sat a fair browed girl,
whose wasting cheek had lost the tint of
crimson, and whose eye flashed with a
fitful fre-the consuming fame of a
breaking heart-for she was one of the
throng whose married sensitiveness is too
strong for the soul, and 10 she was fa-
ding at the shrine of tears. And the
mother-rushed there none from the
fountains of her soul, as she laid her
her sweet child for the last time on the
pillow; when bending Ger the bud
Too sudden withered from her clasp,
She saw and felt that it was dead.
Aye, they were there! like full spring
beating with melancholy murmur on the
heart. And manhood-felt it no tears,
when bending by the graves of the beau
tiful and the good. When it parted from
mother, sister, wife, brother, or friend !?
| O, doubt not shat manhood-strong man
hood-was then solaced by tears. 0,
ye tears, what mission have We wrought
in our sorrowing world. How tenderly
worshipped on the affairs of pity and sim
cere love--how gloriously sanctiied re-
pentence and grief! Down in the damp
cell where the martyr rattles his chains
in the dungeon where the patriot waits
for the block, ye have performed, o,
Tears, the same blessed work. Even to
joy ye have been balm of ola ref
ner's fire. When the Macedonian pass
ed the pillar Of Hercules, he was con-
quered by tears-the same tears that
sprung but now, like dew-drops, from the
lashes of yon blue eyed child.
For what different ends, and yet un
changed, have We wrought. Every mo
ment mellowing and calming some sad
worn heart-aye, every day doing SOM
mission for each of our souls. Ye havr
gushed over the battle fields and over fes
tive halls; around the bier and the board
land deeper, holier, have been our love
and our friendliness with each return O
your hallowed feet for tears have feet
and they come treading up the soul lik
so many angels, offering sacrifices thrc
our eyes. Repress them not, child-the
are purifying vent to thy young hear
Repress them not, o youth-they ar
good and holy for thee. Repress Their
not, mother-for unto thee God has Civ
en- them to be a comforter in the lon
and bitter hour. And thou, manhood
e quench not the fountain whose upheavin
is the most beautiful manifestation of th
spiritual life. Tears, beautiful, blesse
tears-be ever with US all our toxic
when we sigh for the absent, or weep fc
the lost--a sacred witness that our IT
grets and sorrows are sincere.
