Meat Trick oil the Sharp-shooters.

A few days since the s'Berdans" changer
their habiliments. They went out as usual
next day, and got SO close up to the rebel
lines that they could hear them talk. One
said, 81 don't see any sharp-shooters to-
day." His comrade thereupon got up to
look; and, as il assured of their absence,
was less careful than usual about bis per-
son, when crack went rifle. and the car
cass of another traitor tumbled across gun
carriage, bereft of the breath of life. His
comrade thereupon peered over the parapet
and sung out. "There, that'n do, d-n
you've know who goa are! What have
you done with your gray coats and caps ?"
The ''Berdans'' never reply. save with the
sharp crack and whistling bullets of their
iye-shooters.

FARMERS DEPARTMENT.
WEAVING and Fattening Lambs.

A late issue, OF, the Philadelphia Dollar
Newspaper contains an article on this topic
from Pennsylvania sheep-breeder, from
which we extract the following:
Experience is teaching US that sheep are
the most profitable stock that can be raised.
And until the cotton fields Of the South are
placed in other and safer hands, the demand
for wool will increase, and the sheep bust
ness will become more important and more
lucrative. Loyal men on ht to feel them
selves under obligation to assist each other
in getting . start In independent living.
We must use more wool than heretofore,
and. therefore. must prepare to raise on our
fertile hills that which, in getting to US,
has almost ruined our happy country-our
wear.
In this letter propose to call the atten-
ton OF sheep raisers to the care which must
be exercised in weaving lambs. It is not
generally known that, to great extent, the
condition of sheep during life depends on
the care that is taken of them at weaving.
Farmers, ] trust you have more lambs this
spring than usual Ifso, take care of them.
They are valuable. If you separate them
from the ewes before the proper time. they
will become sickly, puny, and never grow
into healthy. thriving sheep. Too little at
tention is given to this matter by most far
mers. Their own convenience, rather than
the health and stamina of the flock, is too
apt to be consulted. Usually, lambs are far
enough advanced at four months of age TO
be weaned. To do this, incloee them
with the ewes in the yard, and having
caught them. place them 10 well fenced
Enclosure, out of sight and hearing of the
ewes. Let them have fresh grass of sufi-
cient quantity to compensate for the loss of
milk, and yet not SO rich as to cause disease
by over feeding. If they are disposed to be
wild, one or two tame sheep should be ad-
mitted into the fold, which will exercise
tanning influence over them. After separa-
ting. the ewes should be kept for about a
week on poor pasture, to prevent inaamed
udders or garget, which frequently ensues.
At the end of one week they can be remov-
ed again to good pasture land. Meal, or
other fattening food. should be fed to those
lambs intended for butchering, till the day
of taking them to the shambles. If they
are to be reared. plenty of grass willanswer.
Give them salt and water occasionally. AT
ter the expiration of three weeks they can
be turned into the flock. If not attended
to at shearing time, the lambs will become
infested with ticks. To kill these, immerse
the lamb up to the eyes in strong decoc
ton of tobacco water. ~,.-

Grease Spots.

A grease spot on many delicate fabrics is
difficult thing to remove, on others it
comes away very easily. When first made,
before the 6bers have thoroughly absorbed
the grease. soap of almost any kind will Of
ten quickly remove it; after few days. a
soap of peculiar quality is required. The
hardest and whitest is commonly best, and
soft soap is the most powerful, but liable to
change color or weaken the texture Of the
goods. Turpentine, kerosene, and other
carbonaceous liquids, have great affinity
for grease, and dissolve it, but are them
selves so difficult to remove from cloth that
by their use we are apt to only dltfuse the
grease over larger surface. Ether, chic
reform, and to limited extent alcohol, dis
solve grease, and though they do not re-
move it any better than turpentine, yet they
bring it into a condition to be easily washed
away by soap and water. On fabrics not
injured by alkalies, ammonia water used to
wet the spots, renders them easy of re-
moyal. Ok gall is a soap of very delicate,
mild character. twill sometimes remove
grease and other spots from silks, and other
delicate fabrics, without injury to the col
easily washed off. Almost any very fine,
soft substance will absorb grease. The ar
ticles most in use and very effective are,
potter's clay, French chalk, and common
chalk. These are scraped upon the spot in
fine powder, or wet up to paste and laid
upon it, and then by the application of hot
iron in close proximity, even though it may
be wax or spermaceti, is absorbed by the
clay, and may be washed away and all re-
moved after a few patient applications. In
the absence of clay or French chalk. or on
fabrics likely to be injured by them, any
bibulous paper-such as will quickly alb
sorb water, like blottiDg paper-may be laid
upon the spot, and hot iron being ap
piled, great part of the grease will be taken
up by the paper, and the rest chiefly diff
fused SO as not to be seen.

AMERICAN MECHANICS. The improv,

AMERICAN MECHANICS. - The improve
ments in farming tools are exciting compf-
ments toward American ingenuity and en-
terprise throughout the world. One of the
best authorities in these matters, the London
Mark Lane Express, declares that ''the
Americans have driven our English pillow
makers out of the Australian, Indian and
other colonial markets. owing to their light
er and cheaper articles" and adds that
''unless our British mechanics bestir them
selves by using steel instead of heavy cast
ings. they will be likely to be beaten on
their own ground"

To KEEP BUGS FROM MELON VINES. Ere.
"A Coop PLAN.-G. Roys, of Conn,
says the cheapest and most effectual remedy
for the striped bug is to cover the plants
with cotton thus: Take the common cotton
batting. separate it into very thin layers,
and spread over the plants as soon as they ap-
pear, putting little dirt on each corner to
prevent the wind from blowing it off. He
has tried it for several years with entire sue
cess. The plants may attain considerable
size before removing the cotton, which
stretches as they grow. If thinly spread,
the cotton does not interfere with light and
moisture, while it entangles the insect.

CURIoUs ANECDoTE.-Toward the close
of the Revolution, the owners of the North
Church, in New Haven, Conn, sent to
Boston for nails to make repairs with, when
one of the kegs sent in return for the order
was found to contain Spanish dollars. The
deacon wrote TO the Boston merchant that
there was error in shipping the goods; but
he answered that the nails were sold as he
bought them of the priyateer, and he could
not rectify mistakes. So the silver was
melted up and made into service of plate
for the church, where it is still in use.

BLACKBERRY WINE.-To make wine equal

water and three pounds of sugar brown will
do); let it stand in an open vessel for TWEEN
ty-four hours, ekim and strain it, then bar

Rebel papers own up that all the Nun
chausenisms of the war are not on the side
of the Federals, and that secesh papers can
equal, if not exceed ours in lying. The
Richmond Wing says they are fast learning

and self-eVident lies as the Yankees. Ev-
erybody knows that THE whole army of
the enemy will certainly be killed or cap
tured,' means that the Confederates acW Be
