Fine VS.. Coarse Wooled Sheep.

(Which is the most profitable breed of sheep,
the finewool or the coarse-wool mutton breeds?
Taken literally, this query divides sheep
into two clesses-Merinoes and other sheep
and have no hesitation in saying that
the coarse-woo.ed sheep are the most protiGa-
bic. If, however, the first half Of the SEN
tence be taken as a text, the question be-
comes much more difficult to answer in a
country where the soil and climate are so
various. No particular breed will suit all
localities; and the kind that is most protita-
ble in one place, will prove the reverse in an
other. Where the climate is mild, the range
extensive and mutton in little demand, of
course the Meriro must be the most profa-
ble. Where the soil is rich, the pasture lux
uriant, and proper shelter aud winter food
are available, the Leicester breed and its
grades will be fonnd the most profitable.
Where the soil is poor and hiIly, the South
down breed and its grades will be the
most profitable; and more particularly in
localities where the qualities Of nation is APP
precated. In general, however, cross-bred
sheep are the most profitable; and there is
no better cross than that between the Leices-
ter and the Cheviot--combinng a large
quantity of good mutton with heavy fleece
of wool, besides being much harder and bet
ter breeders than pure Leicesters. But as
far as my experience goes, the most protita-
bic sheep are of no breed. Buy poor and
inferior ewes. (of the native breed, if pcs
sible) cross them with the best Leicester or
Southdown rams according to their rough
ness and other qualities, and they will pay
from so to 100 per cent, per annum or
more. This is simply taking advantage of
the established maxim in breeding, that the
first cross is the best. You thus obtain an
increase in mutton Of from 20 to 35 pounds,
and an increase in wool of from so to 100
per cent, besides a great improvement in
the quality Of both.
To sum up in order to keep the most prof
table kind of sheep, every man must decide
for himself, by comparing the qualities of
the different Deeds with the nature of the
soil and climate, nearness to market, demand
for WOOL etc.. c., in Genesee Farmer.

STATISTICS OF Sp1RIrUALIsM.-The Spirit
ual Register for 1859, gives some figures in
regard to the spread Of sprituaism, from
which we arrive at the following facts: The
total number of Spirtualists in the United
States is given at l,5s4,ooO and the number
in the whole world is estimated at 100000.
Maine is credited with 10000; New Hamp-
shire, 10000; Vermont, $4,000; Massachu-
setts 100000; Rhode Island, 5000; Connec-
ticut, 10000, and New York, 35O,O00.-
The Register gives the names Of $40 public
speakers, and 23s professional mediums.
The literature of the profession comprises
500 books and pamphlets six weekIes, three
semi-weeklies, and four monthlies. All of
which may be swallowed or not; but if swal-
lowed should be taken with large grain of
salt.

DECAY OF ORCHARDS IN OREGoN.-An ex-
tensive and successful fruit grower in Oregon
informs the editor of the California Culturist
that large numbers of apple trees, only eight
or ten years old, which have produced large
quantities of fruit during the past four or
five years, are already showing marked symp-
toms of decay, and, in many instances, are
dying outright. The Culturist attributes this
early decay to an unnatural forcing of sur
face roots.

A CURE FOR DRUNKENNEss.-Dr. Beck
of Dantzic, has just made curious discovery
He has found an antidote, or rather counter
poison, for ardent spirits. 1t is mineral
paste which he encloses in an olive, and
which, once absorbed. destroys not only
the rising effect, but likewise the disas.
trous consequences of drunkenness. He
tried several experiments on Pole, an ire
caimable drunkard. The individual, named
Radevi, swallowed three bottles of brandy
in succession, and after each bottle ate an
olive prepared by the DOCTOR lie experien-
ced neither the effect of drunkenness nor the
slightest sickness.

Hoops IN OLDEN TIMEs.-An act was In
troduced in the English Parliament in 1910,
"that all women of whatever age, rank, pro-
fession or degree, whether virgins, maids, or
widows, that shall from and after such an
act, impose upon, seduce and betray into
matrimony, any Of his Majesty's male sub
jects, by scents, paints, cosmetic washes,
artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool, iron
stays, hoops, high heeled shoes, or bostered
hips shall incur the penalty of the laws
now in force against witchcraft, sorcery, and
such like misdemeanors, and that the mar
riage, upon conviction, stand null and void.

The Wool TRApE.-By an estimate which
we heard one our substantial farmers make,
few days since, we learn that the produc-
ton of wool in Tehama county alone, for
this year, will amount to over 10000 pounds
This, at ten cents a pound, will show what
an immense revenue is derivable from stock,
the value of which has but recentlys began
to be estimated in its proper light. Add 10
the above the valuation of each carcass, and
we have a sum total of property unequalled
by anything Of similar kind in the State.

INTERPRETATION OF DREAMs-There is a
new guide to the Interpretation of dreams,
An English paper thus puts it, 70 dream of
a milestone around your neck, it is sign
Of what you may expect if you get an ex-
travagant wife. To see apples in dream
betokehs wedding, because where you find
apples you may reasonably expect to find
pairs. TO dream that you are lame is a
token that you will get into hobble.-
When young lady dreams of coffin, it
betokens that she should instantly discon-
tinue lacing her stays tightly, and always
90 warmly and thickly shod in wet weather.
If you dream of clock, it is token that
you will gain credit-that is, tick. TO dream
of fire is a sign that if you are wise you will
see that the lights in your house are out be-
fore you 90 to bed. To dream that your
nose is red at the tip, is an intmation that
you had better leave off brandy and water.
TO dream of walking barefooted denotes a
journey that you will make bootless,
Curious MODE OF CAPTURING WHALES
At Quaboe, one of the Faro Islands, pecu-
liar species of whale, called the beaked or
long-nosed variety, is caught by very singu-
lar means. When a stray fish of this tribe,
individuals of which frequently measure
about thirty feet long, is seen on the surface
of the water, one boatman gently approaches
it, tickles the hugo creatures back with one
Of his oars, and SO pleases the unconscious
prey, that it suffers another to stop up its
blowing-holes with wooden gloves or stock
ings, process which prevents it from sink
ing. The blubber being then perforated, and
fshing-lines fastened through it, the prize is
pulled safely on shore, and dispatched with
spears that are usually kept at hand for the
occasion.
