Sheen Husbaudry Profitable.

Less labor and care is required by sheep
than by any other domestic animal They
are also less dainty, feeding, as experiments
show, upon more than one hundred sp cies
Of plants which cattle and horses refuse
Pastures are thus improved by their clearing
away many foul and useless weeds, so that
better heritage can take its place. 1t has
been found that apasture in most dairy Sec
tons which will carry 20 head of full grown
cattle, will carry 20 head of sheep beside,
without detriment to the cattle, and with
positive benefit to the pasture. This is the
opinion of some of the best New England far
mers. The climate of Central and North
ern Iowa seems to be particularly adapted to
wool growing. The sheep here look healthy
and robust, and carry heavy coats of wool.
We hope to see more sheep introduced, and
that this branch of husbandry will receive
more attention from the farmers of our val
ley considering the natural adaptation Of the
soil to the growth of sheep. Every farmer
that has land adapted to the growing of sheep,
should make trial of few.

How much per Acre.

Hoo to estimate Crops.--A friend commu-
nicates the following method of making an
estimate of the yield per acre of a growing
crop of wheat, rye, oats, or barley, which he
says has been found correct in England. 1t
seems easy of application, and approximately
correct, we give the plan; and hope it will be
tried at the next harvest-time.
Frame together four light sticks, measur-
ing exactly foot square inside, and with
this in hand, walk into the field and select a
fair average yield, and lower the frame square
over as many heads as it will enclose, shell
out the heads thus enclosed carefully, and
weigh the grain. 1t is fair to presume that
the product will be the 43-56Oth part Of an
acres product. To prove it, go through the
field and makNten or twelve similar calcula-
tons, and estimate by the mean of the whole
number of results. 1t will certainly enable
farmer to make closer calculation of what
his field will produce than he can do by guess
ing

Quantity of Seed per Acre.

In Great Britain, the allowance of grain
per acre, in sowing, is much more liberal than
with us. In ireland, for instance, where the
fax culture appears to have nearly reached
perfection, and where the linen is relied on
by many as the principal source of domestic
income, we find that in most cases the cult.
vators Of this plant allow six bushels of seed
to the acre. In the Farmers Dictionary"
the quantity of seed ordinarily allowed to the
acre, in England, is stated to be as follows -
Wheat, p to 81 bushels; Oats, 4 to 6 bu.
Barley, 3 to bu.; Rye, p to 81 bu. Peas,
81 to Al bu; Buckwheat, 2 to p bu: Clover,
IL to 1G lbs. Clover, white, 8 to lbs. Ire

PhloXeS,

One of the most beautiful of all the flowers
which adorn our gardens is the Phlox The
annua! Phlox DrummOnelli is one of the best,
if not the very best annual grown. The
number of varieties of this Phlox is large,
embracing almost every color. By making
several paintings of the seed, or by cutting
off the flowers as soon as they begin to de-
cay, constant bloom may be had the whole
season. 1t should be grown in masses.

A Morning Walk in the County.


Out in the country, in the morning when
the sun is just peeping over the tree tops, or
the distant prairie, and thin mist is rising
from the river, and the air is redolent of per-
fume from the thousand blossoms, and the
myriad fountains of fragrance that are gush-
ing up to make their prisons. with the dew
still upon them, in the country. Spring with
us is now in its high-timc-green in the
fresh vigor of its young leaves; green in the
broad fields of Wheat, Oats, giving promis of
a good harvest, and the medows and pas
lures rich in the numerous varieties of grass
The hardy roses too, are beginning to burst
their buds and fling out their delicious aroma
to tho lettering zephyr. Let those VIII"

some morning with the peep OF dawn, ana
drive up the river road through Washington
Township, or down the river passing tn, fine
farms that are dotted along our beautiful riy

the better for it through the day. Til re is
somthing invigorating and healthful to thu
heart in glimpse of the country, and eleva-
ting to the spirits, that must tire Of the every
day routine of street life, where the almighty

produce ajarring discord where Heaven inteii-
ded there should reign one universal peace
and harmony. To breathe the fresh air of
the country, to look abroad over the quiet
hill and prairie, when frugal industry is ac-
celebrating nature with the aid of art, in its
bountiful provisions for another year, must
make man better and purer, and healthier in
his heart. ..

Glass Pans for Mill.

An Ohio farmer, who has been experiment.
ing with different kinds Of milk vessels, says,
that during thunder showers the milk in glass
pans is less likely to become sour than that
in tin pans-that during the first twenty four
hours the milk in the tin pans was sour,
whereas that in the glass pans was quite
the milk in the tin pans was thick, and that
in the glass pans only beginning to sour. The
milk used in this experiment was that of one
cow given at single milking, and divided
equally, one-half placed in the glass and the
other in the tin pan; both vessels were placed
side by side. We do not know to whom we
are indebted for this statement, as we found
the paragraph from which the above was con-
densed in several of the papers without any
credit being given.
