Force OF IMAGINATIoN.-Buck
the distinguished geologist, one day gave a
dinner after dissecting Mississippi alliga-
tor, having asked good many of the most
distinguished of his classes to to dine with
him. His house and all his establishment
were in good style and taste. His guests
congregated. The dinner table looked
splendid, with glass, china, and plate, and
the meal commenced with excellent soup.
How do you like the soup?' asked the
doctor, after having finished his own plate,
addressing famous gourmand of the day.
Very good, indeed answered the other !;

HELP ONE ANoTHER.--It is said when
the Emperor Augustus was passing through
the baths at Rome on one occasion, he saw
a veteran, who had fought with him, rubbing
himself after bathing, against one of the
columns. The emperor inquired why he
had not boy to do this And being told
that he was poor, ordered him the means of
paying one. On his next visit he saw at
every column an old man rubbing himself
and on making the same inquiry he receiv-
ed the same reply. His rejoinder, howev-
er, was not what they expected, for he said
Well, gentlemen, as there are so many Of
you, ! should advise you to rub one anoth-
err" Augustus here taught them wisdom
he taught them not to depend on the caprice
of patron, but to help one another.

MosT PROFITABLE BREED OF SHEEP.
A Canada West farmer, writing on this
question to the Genesee Farmer, says: "As
far as my experiedce goes, the most profit
able sheep are Of no breed. Buy poor and
inferior ewes (of the native stock, if posi-
ble,) cross them with the best Leicester or
Southdown rams, according to their rough
ness and other qualities, and 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 in
crease in motion of from 20 to 80 pounds,
and an increase in wool of from 80 to 100
per cent, besides great improvement in
the quality of both. Country Gentleman.

Sheen HuSbandry.

The iudcous mingling OF stock ant
grain growing is hopeful feature in any
farming. Sheep are not the least OF siocb
agencies that tend to the improvement OF
the soil. r. S. Fay stated recently, before
the Legislative Agricultural Society, that
sheep on an average live on two pounds OF
hay per day, or its equivalent in other feed,
that they convert their food into better
manure than other animals, and that Ger
man chemist is his authority for stating that
1000 sheep will sufficiently manure an
acre of land in "a hours. Johnston was
quoted as saying that sheep droppings,
when compared with that of cows, is as Z
to IL. Mr.. Fay himself practices as well
as breaches, for ten years ago he had 200
acres that would barely keep five cows, but
by putting 200 sheep for seven months in
a year on half his land, he is now able to
keep 20 head Of cattle on the same ground.
A Virginian who keeps thousand sheep
on his plantation says he raises more wheat
than when he had no sheep. What the
best breed is, is matter OF debate. The
Cotswolds, some of which are found in Del
aware, in this country, are the Durhams OF
their kind. They sometimes reach hive
weight of 800 pounds, and their wool, which
is long, weighs from six to ten pounds per
fleece. Their mutton is good, but not so
good as that of smaller breeds. There are
nearly 100000 Of sheep in the United
States.
