PROFITS ON SHEEP-RAISlNG.

A correspondent Of the Buchanan Guardian,
IN an article on sheep:raising, gives the follow
ing estimated of the profits that may be expected
in that branch of stock-growing:
good flock of French Merino Sheep will US
ually clip from 8 l-2to 4 lbs. Of wool perrsheep,
which, at present prices, would be worth from.
40 to 81 cents perl ID. at our own doors. Sheep
~raisers calculate that the increase of the flock
is equal to 33 per cent of the value of the herd.
What, then, wouldbe the avails Of a flock of 500
sheep, worth say $3.50 her head, or $4,000.
500 sheep, average clip 3 IL lbs. each, 1850 lbs,

THE INTERPOLATION OF CORN.

The Lockport IN. W Journal g. Courier in a
late issue contained an Interesting article under
this head, extracts from which we give for the
benefit of our agricultural readers. Says The
Journal: -,.
Probably every farmer has noticed when husk-
ing corn which grew in a field containing two
or more varieties, cases in which one ear con
tanned kernels of different kinds; as, for instance,
grains of white and of yellow corn. In this in
stance, all the grains unlike the original seeds
are hybrids, possessing the qualities of both va
~rieties; and were caused by the pollen dust arts
ing from the t~assel, from the kind of corn which
it resembles. falling upon and ferbitizing the
silks of the other. 1t has been ascertained by
actual experiment that the color and appearance
of the grain are always derived from the pollen,
while the root produces seed requiring the same
time to attain maturity; consequently, if sweet
corn and yellow corn were planted in alternate
rows Of medium distance, and the tassels of the
sweet corn all removed as soon as they made
their appearance, or before the time of towering,
the whole crop would be yellow corn; while on
the other hand if the t~assels had been removed
from the yellow corn, at harvest we should find
that the whole had become sweet corn, but vary
ing just as much i'll time Of maturing as would
have been the cause if each kind had been left
unmutilated. We see sometimes grains of corn
which present a notified orstreaked appearance.
This may be owing to the partial fertilization of
the silks by each of the different kinds of pollen
thus presenting the combination to the eye.
This peculiar property of corn proves highly
advantageous in multiplying the. varieties of
valuable kinds, corn for table use especially
Owing to it's peculiar ~soffness and sweetness, what
we term sweet corn is justly preferred for this
purpose. .,' ;., >,
"Strowelrs Evergreen Corn" may be obtained
by planting any sweet corn near Ohio Dent corn
and cutting off the tassels of the latter; the pro-
duct possessing the softness of the original sweet
corn and the luxuriant growth and largeness of
the ear peculiar to the Dent. If sweet corn is
thus hybridized with Tucket corn, "Hauce's ear
~ table corn" is the result. In the same man
ner all the other varieties Of sweet corn may be
produced. .e- -'a
The question may be asked, what has produc-
ed the difference in the time required for matur-
ing the different kinds. To this we suggest that
long cultivation in different climates and soils
has had something to do with it.. We know that
the products of the vegetable kingdom are prone
to asslmila.e themselves to the climate in which
they are cultivated, and perhaps this had a share
in producing the dissimilarity in the kinds of
corn. s.,+rEa. j. m, Ii. r.s .,.~ .;s+.
Another aid may have been the careful sclec-
ton each year of the earliest referred ears for
seed, which, culled year after year, in a similar
manner, would give in time u different euriivr
variety, and a fxity of character.

How TO KEE BUTTER SWEET FOR YEARS
IN N CLlMATE.-The butter is to be well
c!hurned, and worked and packed hard and tight
IN kegs OF seasoned white oak; the head is then
put IN, leaving a small hole into which brine is
poured to fill the vacant place; and Of Sc. much
Importance is it deemed, to prevent any bad
taste, that the plugs for the hole, must not be
made Of cedar OF, pine, but of cypress. or bass
wood, as otherwise it would be injured. After
