Management OF sheep.

management OA SAeeP'
In the neighborhood of New York
there are those who are in the habit oi
buying ewes in the fall as the common
breed of the country, and putting them
with South Down ram in October
AS sheep 60 from twenty-five to twenty
three weeks, this would bring the lamb
in March and April. The ewes are
kept in fair condition during the winter
and the lambs are sold The following
summer to the butchers They com.
mand good prices, and this practice is
said to be profitable.
We do not see why it might not be
more generally adopted by farmers.
An old country farmer, at our elbow.
says: "Why not advise them to keep
Leicesters?" For this reason: 1t costs
too much to buy the thorough breds-
And besides, we have others on hand
1t is also a we'll known fact that when a
mongrel bred eve is crossed by a
thoroughbred ram, the lambs partake
largely Of the qualities Of the male
Our common bred ewes, therefore, are
just the sheep to cross with for that
purpose-better than thoroughbred
Mcrinos.
Whether Leicester or South Down
rams are used is probably not of much
consequence. Probably the South
Down would be preferable, as the cross
would not be 80 great Genessee

Treatment OF Cheese for Market,

When cheese is ready for market
and about to be shipped, it is the prac.
tiee with some dairymen to apply to
each cheese thin coating of varnish
made from gum shellac.
The shellae is simply dissolved and
applied with brush-the coating gives
the cheese smooth, glossy appearance,
and besides adding to its beauty, is said
to keep the cheese from losing weight
and gathering mould. When cheese
well cured and shipped in the fall, are
to remain in store for several weeks OF
months, the above treatment is particu-
larly beneficial, as serving to keep them
in better condition, with less loss, and
at the same time adding so much to
their appearance as to induce reader
sales than when not so treated We
have never made trial of gum shellac
for this purpose in our own dairy, but
are assured by some of our best dairy
men that its application has been prac-
ticed with decided advantage; and as
gum shellac used in this way is per-
fectly harmless, we see no reason why
it may not be employed for the purpose
indicated, especially as decided advan
tages are claimed for its use.-Dair,

To the Farmers of taeigs County:

NTE again call your attention to the fact
w that we are prepared TO execnte all or
ders for CARDlNG or GRINDING, at our Mill,
near the Courthouse, in Pomeroy.
The renorts we have from our work of last
year fully confirms us in the belief that it has
given general satisfaction in quantity and
quality Of rolls, proportioned the cleanli-
ness, quantity and quality of Wool. This fact,
together with the necessity of the most rigid
economy. in view of the great and pressing
wants of our Government, which must be sus-
tanned in this her hour Of greatest peril, at any
and all sacrifices; and also the scarcity and
high price of cotton and the uncertainty of fl-
ture supplies, induces US to believe that large
amount Of Wool will be worked up the coming
season; and have therefore prepared ourselves
accordingly, by putting our machines in the
best Of order, and securing the services of Mr..
DAVID JEN KINS, Il former owner of the mill,
and the best Carder in the county.
While we thank you for past favors, permit
us to admonish every one who can! procure a
pound of Wool, to bring it to US, well cleansed,
(using as little soap as possible,) with one
pound of clean grease to every lbs of Wool so
that we can grease it ourselves, just before
working and we will insure good work.

AGRICULTURAL.
THE "RoRsE HAIR

Ia Professor Agassiz' interesting pa
pers on methods of Study in Natural
History the second of the series in
the atlantic Monthly, we find this anec-
dote Of an animal known to almost all
the country:
A gentleman from Detroit had the
kindness to send me one Of those long
thread like worms (Gordius) found
often in brooks, and called horse hairs
by the common people. When | first
received it, it was coiled up in close
roll at the bottom of the bottle, filed
with fresh water that contained it. and
looksd more like little tangle of black
sewing silk than suything else. Wish
ing to unwind it that l might examine
its entire length, l placed it in large
China basin filed with water, and pro-
ceeded very gently to disentangls it's
coils, when | perceived that the animal
had twisted itself around bundle Of its
eggs, holding them fast in close en-
brace. In the process. Of unwinding,
the eggs dropped away and doated to a
little distance. Having finally stretched
it out to it's fall length, perhaps half u
yard, l sat watching to see if this sin
galar being that looked like long
black thread in the water, would give
any signs of life. Almost Immediately
it moved toward the bundle of eggs,
aud, having reached it, began to sew it.
self through and through the little
white mass, passing one end of it's body
through it, and then returning to make
another stitch, as it were, till the eggs
were completely entanglod again In an
Intricate network Of coils. 1t seemed
to me almost impossible that this care
of offspring could be the result of an in
stinct of affection of creature of so low
an organization. and again separated it
from the eggs, and placed them at a
greater distance, when the same action
was repeated.
On trying the experiment a third
time, the bundle of eggs had become
loesened, and few of them dropped off
singly into the water. The efforts
which the animal then made to recover
the missing ones, winding itself round
aud round them, but failing to bring
the m into the fold with the rest because
they were too small, and evaded all eff
forts to secure them, when once parted
from the first little compact mass, con-
vinced me that there was definite pur-
pose in its attempts, and that even a
being so low in the scale of animal cx-
istence has some dim consciousness of
relation to its offspring. I afterward
unwound also the mass of eggs, which,
when coiled up as l first saw it, made
roll of white substance about the size of
coffee bean, and found that it consist
ed of string of eggs, measuring more
than twelve feet in length, the eggs
being held together by some gelatinous
substance that ccmented them and pre-
vented them from falling apart. Cut
ting this string across, and placing
small section under the microcope, |
coRated on one surface of such cut,
freaa seventy to seventy five eggs; and
estimating the entire number of eggs
according TO the number contained an
sack surface, found that there were
aet less than eight millions Of eggs III
tho whole string.

Calls Oh Horses.
AS the heat and labor of the season
inereasa, horses will suffer from various
flesh wounds, which if not Immediately
cured, will! cause great suffering to the
horse, and waste of time and temper to
the owner. Let, therefore, hint or
two from the 4naericaa Agriculturist be
now heedeG
''Preveation is better than cure. In
the first place, be sure that your har-
ness is in perfect working order. See
to it especially that the collar fits we'll,
and is smooth IF the inner surface is
rough, it must chafe, and soon wear off
the skin. A loose layer of leather un-
der the collar is good contrivanee to
lessen friction upon the animals neck
and shoulders. While spring work is
pressing let the horses shoulders be
washed every morning with solution
of alum and whisky. At night, when
coming home from work sweaty and
sore, let the shoulders be washed with
tepid water, then rubbed dry. If then
gals occur on the breast or back, wash
them clean, then apply an ointment
made by mixing together spoonful of
pulverlzed alum and the white of an
egg.

Set Out a Few More Fruit Tress.


Yes, set out cherry tree by the gate
near the road, and another at the head
of the house to partially shade the sit
ting room from the hot sun. The
cherry when we'll trained, forms regu-
lar, symmetrical tree, ornamental at
least when covered with a profusion of
snow white bloom, or bending beneath
it's load of dark red fruit. Set pear
tree in the nook by the shed, and one
at each end of the carriage house
They will injure nothing and the rich
soil will cause them to grow rapidly
Now put out few peach trees along
the garden border where the shade will
scarcely injure the vegetables; or few
trees may be set compactly fifteen feet
apart, and the space they would shade
could be used for raspberries and black
, berries.
/ There is the lane, too, leading to the
pasture, which might we'll have row
of apple or pear trees upon each side,
which will injure the adjacent fields far
less than the returns they should give
The road sides, also, can be set with
. dPPlo liecs unudily ENiuS pctteI Ie-
turn than the same number Of trees in
an orchard. Again there is the south
side of the barn, shed and hovel, yes,
and the tight fence upon the north side
of the garden, which might be covered
, with grapevines and yield many bush
els of fruit.
Now, reader, look about your build
ings, around the yards, along the fences:
etc, and see if there is not room for a
few more trees. Then go to the nearest
! nurseryman, if he is an honest, careful
grower, and select your trees, have them
taken up with all the roots, take them
home without exposure to the sun, and
set at once in large broad holes, spread
ing out the roots and ibers in their
natural position. IF the soil is not
rich add little old manure or ground
bones at the time of setting, and hope
fully await the result of your expendi-
lures in time and money.

WILL RURAL LIFE FAY{

ID oW TO make rural lie pays! that 8
the question with all classes who ever
expect to enjoy home in the country
of their own. There can be no doubt
that anultitudes, perhaps majority that
go into the country spend from quar-
ter to a third more than they need to,
because they do not avail themselves of
the advantages Of the country. The
theory OF living is different in the
country. Here he produces everything
he can economically. In the city he
buys everything, paying for it with his
skill and labor, or capital sold in the
market The citizen has no time to
study the art of making one hand wash
the other" In the country this is the
great secret Of economical living. YoL
GO into the country to have ROOM a
house, and a few acres of land. delight
full rides over the country with wife and
children, 20 entertain your cousins and
family friends with Strawberries and
cream fresh laid eggs, and broiled
chickens in their season. Now if you
buy all these nice things at your rural
home, you will find the bills quite as
large as in the city, and possibly larger.
1t is the easiest thing in the world for
family to run up bill of three or
four hundred dollars at the village
stable, and then feel that they have not
had half riding enough; two hundred
dollars at the butchers feeling that
they have had to stint themselves in
poultry; fifty dollars with the milk man
with but half a supply of milk, and no
cream at all; four hundred dollars at the
grocer's, with eggs only once week,
and lean picking at desert.
Now we shall manage these things
very much more economically, if we
adapt ourselves to the conditions of
rural life. You, have two objects in
view IN a rural home economy, and the
better education of your children, mean
ing by that, what they get outside of
the schools. 1t is worth good deal to
family of children, to have them IA

life, the care of domestic animals, the
management of flower and vegetable
garden, familiar with the trees OF the

move in circle In such home, and
every link in the chain must be com
plete to make the rural home paying
concern. If you have land it must be
worked to make it bear crops. To do
this economically you must have labor
and manure. To have these in the
most economical form, you must keep a
man and domestic animals You have
to pay out money for your help, and
for your provender, but you get for it
cheap rides, and all you want, cheap
eggs, poultry, milk, cream, cheap fruits
and vegetables, and the rural schooling
for the children, which is matter of
prime importance.
Your man will cost you not far from
sl2o year and his board, the keeping
of the family horse, with the interest Of
money invested, and the wear and tear
of vehicles, harness, etc, about 800,
and the COW from S45 to S75, according
to size, skill in management, and other
/, considerations. You will want two
pigs and thirty hens to complete the
circle. These gather up the fragments,
and turn the last particle of refuse mat
ter to profitable account.-American

wheat is boiled about twenty minutes in
water, and placed in pan and Drowned
as coffee. Sc far, we prefer it to the
