Value of shelter for Sheen.

WIN. IL. Ladd, one of the best farmers
of the State of Ohio, who has given es-
pecial attention to sheep, gives the follow
ing careful estimate in the Ohio Farmer,
of the value of shelter to sheep, suggested
by the remark Of neighbor, i" 1t won't pay
TO build shelter for sheep" This neighbor
kept 1900 head and lost many animals, and
it was from his losses that part of this
estimate is madee
Let me make some low estimates in
reference to the loss occasioned by this treat
ment in thirty years. First, if the sheep
sheared two pounds of wool per head under
this treatment, they would have shorn three
pounds had they received good care. Sec
ond, one pound difference per head on 1000
sheep makes 1000 pounds 1000 pounds
in thirty years, at 40 cents per pound, Sl2,-
600. II is a very low estimate, counting
sheep at the lowest common price, that a
flock Of 1000 sheep should yield $500
WORTH OF surplus stock TO sell each year ;
this in thirty years amounts to $4,000.
Feed saved by shelter, say 5000 each year,
worth in so years, $4,000; simple interest
at 6 per cent. on the amount saved in 80
years. $4,000 difference Of the value of
stock on hand at the end Of 80 years, ST.
600; value Of shelter 10 the proprietor at
the close Of 80 years, $1,000; amount
saved, $4,000. Per centra-shelter cost
say $4,000; additional grain fed, say $500
each year, in 80 years, $4,000; interest
as above, $1,000; for keeping shelter in
repair, sl,000--total S32,560. Difference
in favor Of shelter and good care $50, $50.
Don't look at this as fancy sketch; ii
Is reality, and the only incorrectness
about it is, that the estimated difference in
favor of good keeping is in every particu-
lar below reality.

Gunpowder seldom exploles after having

danger is in the liability OF the workmen,
from familiarity with the process, to become
negligent of duty. Each process has its pc
culiar danger. The old screw-press was
abolished and the hydraulic press substitu-

screw generated heat which was at any
moment liable to explode the mill. Iron

The materials and proportions Of which
ganpowder is composed, are seventy-iye
parts Of saltpetre TO twelve and one hals
parts Of sulphur and twelve and one-balf
parts of charcoal These proportions vary
slightly 10 different varieties Of powder !;
and the standard proportions Of different
governments vary also, but the proportions
generally deemed best or standard are
as we have given them. Saltpetre is most
ly imported frem India, where it is found
in large quantities, and transported from
thence TO various parts of the world. Its
price in the New York market varies from
five to fifteen cents per pound its average
price is perhaps nine cents. But of course,
our Southern friends get none from the
New York market, or any other market
while the blockade is effeciual; and they
are dependent upon The supply which they
can gather from their own soil. The Haz-
