A correspondent of the Boston Cuz-

A correspondent of the Boston Cul
tivator says:
"My practice is to keep salt and
wood ashes where horses can have ac
cess to them in the stable and also
keep salt in boxes, in my cattle and
sheep sheds, during the time they are
kept up; and make salt-boxes with
roofs to them, TO stand In my sheep
pastures; with an opening on one side
for the sheep to put in their heads.
mix in little tar and sulphur with the
salt for the sheep, deeming the mixture
healthy for them. NY conviction is.
therefore, that salt should be put where
stock may get it when nature requires
it. Hence my practice"

Though others may seek far and wide
To gain but moment of bliss,
Disappointment their footsteps abide,
In world full Of phantoms as this.
But with loved ones the blessings TO snafe'
All, who would be longing to roa"'
When taught by the joy tasted there'
That the happiest of places is home
The world may seem brighter without.
With the glitter of tinsel and art;
And its friendships appear more devout,
With the semblance of truth to the heart.
But so sweet are the pleasures share,
Ny heart feels no yearning to roam.
Since nothing on earth can compare
With the happiest of places, my home
If sorrow e'er darkens my way,
Till the heart wear the burden of grief,
And the friends have trusted betray,
In the hour when most needing relief;
From the anguish which fortunes the mind,
To my own little heaven III come,
In the smiles Of my loved ones to find,
That the hapriest Of places is home.

There is another consideration in
favor of sheep. In the first place a
person needs only half the capital,
which is great consideration to SOME;
in the second instance, sheep at Is
months old are fit either for the butch
err or for raising stock. The cows
offspring, on the contrary, is neither fit
for the one or the other.

Balance in favor of sheep

Some would say that the milk is a
great consideration. True, so is labor.
What man, woman er child would
bring the cow from the field, milk,
churn and market the butter for the
milk. None.
We will take it in another way.
Suppose we wanted to raise stock, the
COW would produce almost as much
butter, and her calf could be raised
with the milk. Her butter at the same
rate as above would be SIG 25. Take
FIVE ewes valued at 81 each, they would
raise FIVE lambs and sheer four lbs wool
each at So cents, s.; at Is months
old the lambs would be worth $40.
The cows offspring would be worth
$12. The amount would stand some
thing like this:

Cows vs.. Sheep.

As YOU have offered your paper as
medium for agriculturalists generally, |
write the following, thinking 1T may
draw the attention of some and lead
them to think which are the most profit
alhe, cows, or sheep
Every farmer knows the value of the
COW, and the little ones can appreciate
her as well as the older ones. | would
state that every farmer should keep
enough for his own use, for / consider
her an Indispensable article.
But whether he should keep more
than would keep his family in milk and
butter is a query that | want to have
unraveled. A farmer that lives near a
CITY or town and can sell milk l say
may keep as many as possible, for moth
ing pays better. Farmers that live a
distance from a town and near rail
road. would do well to consider which
are the most profitable, cattle or sheep?
I will take cow valued at $40 and
calculate her years produce in butter
to be 13Ofbs. at l2a cents per fb. l
consider that one COW will eat as much
as five sheep, therefore l will take five
lambs at 50 each, they will shear &c
lbs. of wool at IS cents per TO-, and in
crease in weight to the amount of 50
each, the capital needed is only one
halt. Their profits will stand as fol-
lows:
Cow-l30fbs. butter at - &c per ID - SIC Is.
Lambs-Wool, 30fbs. 75c per lbs; in
crease in value, 81 each; interest on
$40 at 10 per cent 81 is 90.
