Sheep Raising.

We are in receipt of the following communi-
cation on this subject, which being from an old
resident of Kansas. and a reliable and enter
prising gentlemen, will be read with interest:
81 have only thirty-eight sheep, lambs and all.
I cannot brag much on fine wool, but believe
that can produce the longest wool in Kansas.
have measured some and of course took the
longest could find, it measured 81 inches
long and l believe by shearing time it will be
81. My long wooded sheep do not know what
breed they are. Mr.. Simmons, the man that
brought them in this neighborhood, last year
she.red l215 pounds from one Eve.
1t is true that sheep raising in Kansas is
more profitable than any other stock, from the
fact that in ordinary winters they will live and
do we'll with very little feed, and I believe from
the little experience have had in sheen rails
ing that they will not be so liable to take dis.
eases so common among sheep in other States.
They require but very little attention in the
summer.
In the mornings turn mine out on the prai.
RE. and never knew them to be over half
nile from the house; in the evenings they come
up and go into their fold, they are then shut IN
for the night will say no more on this subject
at present, sometime again may say something
as to the care and treatment of them both win :.

Melons,.
B. HoovER.''

The great object in the cultivation of the
melons, is to get them early During the hot
weather of August and the first part of Sen.
TENDER, they are one of the greatest Injuries
in our northern climate. 1t is easy to raise the
plants in hot bed, but so difficult to TRANSPLANT
them without checking their growth, that in "a.
vorable seasons those sown in the open ground
are earlier. A light, warm, soil, should be cbo.
sen if possible. 1fnot, it has been recommended
to place two bushels of sand where each hill ia
to be grown. Turf ashes, If they can be oh.
tanned are much better. A gentleman in this
city raised splendid crop of melons in the
following manner: The ground received dres.
sing Of old well-rotted manure from the black.
smith shop, which containing much hoof. pairing.
was very rich. This was dug in all over the
ground. The seed was planted in hills about
three feet apart. the first week il NAV, and
small boxes with single glass light were placed
over them. Those treated in this way were
much earlier than some which were transplanted
from hot bed. A table spoonful of superphos.
plate Of lime, placed in some of tbs hills with
the seed had very good effect It is best to
SOW plenty of seed-sav six or eight seeds in a
hill; but not more than three or four good strong
plants should be allowed to remain. The

In a communication from Edwards Lester, he
gives his mode of cultivating this fruit:
terminate in hot house, hot bed or kitchen
for very early fruit, transplanted when quite
small, into pots. The tomato improves BY ev-
cry transplanting and each time should be set
deeper. From the time four or six leaves ap.
pear, pinch or cut the larger or lower leaves
and the termial buds, and continue this process
of pruning till the fruit is far advanced; so that
when ripe the bed will seem to be covered by
one mess, of large smooth, even sized tomatoes
of the richest pomegranite color-and leaves
hidden by the fruit.
Set the plants three or four feet apart, in the
warmest spot you have, and let them fall over to
the northern frames twelve or fifteen inches
high; or on pea brush; anything to sustain
them and keep them from touching the ground
which delays ripening, creates mould, cut. worms
and always gives the tomato an earthly taste
Try for one cluster, (the first that blossoms)
and cut everything else gradually away. This
will give you tomatoes in perfection, in the
latitude of Buffalo, four or six weeks earlier
than usually ripened in our climate. If Won
wish late tomatoes, pull up each plant by the
root (just before the frost cones) and hang
them on the south side of building, top down
with blanket to roll up days and let fall nj gifts.
When ice makes, hang them up in a room that
does not freeze, or in dry cellar, and you will
have fresh tomatoes all winter-somewbat
but of fine Aavor.-P,ai,ie Far.

Nstfill an0 Curious.
How to Fore,elI Weather.

In the Manual of the Barometer, compiled
by Rear-Admiral Fitzroy, of the English navy,
and published by the Board of Trade, the fol-
lowing observations occur:
"Whether clear or cloudy rosy sky at sun.
set presages fine weather; red sky in the NOR
ming, bad weather, or much wind (perhaps
rain;) gray sky in the morning, fine weather;
a high dawn wind, bad weather; low dawn, fair
weather. Soft looking or delicate clouds foretell
fine weather, with moderate or light breezes;
hard edged ely looking clouds, wind. A dark
gloomy blue sky is windy, but light blue sky
indicates fine weather. Generally, the softer
clouds look, the less wind Out, perhaps, more
rain) may be expected; and the harder, more
greasy, rolled, tufted, or ragged. the stronger
the coming wind will prove. Also, bright
yellow sky at sunset presages wind; pale yell
low, wet; and thus by the prevalence of red, yell
low, or gray tints, the coming weather may be
foretold very nearly; indeed if aided by instru-
ments. almost exactly. Small kyloeking
clouds foretell rain; light scud clouds, driving
across in heavy masses, show wind and rain
but if asne. may indicate wind only. High up
per clouds crossing the sun, moon, or stars in a
direction different from that of the lower clouds
or the wind felt below foretell change Of wind.
Whoa sc. birds fly out early and far to seward
moderate wind and fair weather may be expec-
ted; when they hang about the land. or over it,
sometimes flying inland. expect strong wind
with stormy weather. There sre other signs OF
a coming change in the weather known less
generally than may be desirable, and therefore
worth notice; such as when birds of long flight
rocks, swallow, or others, hang about home, and
hy up and down, or low, rain or wind may be
expected. Also, when animals seek sheltered
places, instead of spreading their usual range;
when pigs carry straw to their stys; when smoke
from chimneys does not ascend readily Tor
straight upward during calm) an unfavorable
change is probable. Dew is an induction of fine
weather; SO is fog. Neither of these two for
nations occur under an overcast sky, or when
there is much wind. One sees fog occasionally
rolled away as it were by wind, but seldom or
never formed while it is blowing"

Eloquence.

A young lawyer lately concluded his argu
ment in case of trespass, with the following
sublime burst:
eft, gentlemen Of the jury, the defendant
hogs be permitted to roam at large over the fair
fields of my client, with immunity and without
pokes, then-yes, then, indeed, have our fore
fathers fought, and bled, and died in vain.
"Bob, lower yourself into the well, and hol-
Ter for help"
"For what, joint"
"Oh. just to frighten daddy, and make a
little fun"
Bob agreed to the experiment, but he got ra-
thcr more fun than he had bargained for. Dad
dy appeared, and administered lots of fun with
a hickory sapling five and half feet long.

Sweet Potato Culture - Starting the

Plants.
herewith give you the method Of starting
sweet potatoes in the spring, to obtain sets for
transpianting, which have adopted after TWEEN
ty years experience. From the LIST to the 10th
of April begin by digging q trench 2la feet
deep by feet wide, and as many feet long as
have bushels of seed. The tubers for seed va
~ from to 9 inches in diameter. In the bot
tom of the trench refuse hay or other litter is
laid to the depth of foot, well trodden down.
and water poured upon it, bucketfal to each
foot in length of the trench; warm vateris pre-
ferred, asst raises heat sooner. Next layer
4 inches thick of stable manure is placed on
the hay, leveled nicely, and left lying as loose
az may be. The manure should have been
heaped up few days before, to commence
heating. then place five inches of the light
est soil can find upon the manure, spread
evenly, and lay the potatoes upon it as near each
other as possible without touching. these are
covered ~ inches deep with light soil, and
over this put layer of hay, making it one
foot thick around the edge of the bed, and
rounding it gradually to the centre, where it is
5 feet thick when finished
The heat is watched closely, and examine
it daily by making holes in the hay large
enough to admit my arm, and run my finger
down 10 the bottom of the potatoes: n &c be
warmer than blood heat, the hole is left open,
and if the heat increases, the hay is turned
over to allow the steam to escape. After 10 to
10 days, If the weather be fine, the heap is un-
covered for few hours, and if the plants are
coming up nicely, this is repeated daily, leav-
ing the covering off little longer each time,
untilitis entirely dispensed with, when the sets
are ready for acknowledgements Agrieul-

Closing the Vent in Firing Cannon

Closing the Vent in Firing Cannon.
Messrs. Editors:-Why does a premature dis.
charge take place in loading cannon. if the
vent be not closed? An answer through your
raper viii oblige C.F.C.
Lowell, Mass, March % 1861.
There are always left in a cannon, after a
discharge, pieces of the cartridge bag on fire,
and if the sponge be passed down the bore with
out closing the vent, a draft of air is created
which fans the fame; but if the vent be closed
smoke is compressed around the burning cloth,
and the fire is smothered. Sometimes, when
firing in the dark, man cannot find the vent
until the sponge is put in; then the fame will
stream from the vent as if the gun was quite
full Of fire.-Seientife Americana

In England in the year fifteen hundred and

knights wife should have more than one velvet
or damask gown for summer, that all ladies
should wear russell or camlet three days in the
week, under penalty of ten shillings per day;
and that a surveyor should examine the ladies'

During the reign Of Catherine H., of Russia
an ingenious Russian Peasant, named Kalubia,
constructed a musical watch to perform single
chant. The machine was about the size of an
egg, within which was = representation of the
tomb of our Savior, with the Roman
sentinels on watch. On lightly pressing spring
the stone would be rolled from the tomb, the
