Sheep in Kansas.

a farmer writing from Burlingame TO th'
Leavenworth Conservative under date o
the 18th inst, gives the following encour
aging, and in some respects remarkable re-
port of his experiences in raising and keep
ing sheep in Kansas:
In your last paper l see a very interest
ing article on wool and sheep raising. 1t is
true that small flock of twenty or thirty
head require as much attention as
large flock does. Your correspondent
thinks farmer With small means will no
take the trouble to raise a good flock Of
sheep from few head, or improve them as
they should be.
Now, Mr. Editor, my object in writing
this letter is to show the farmer how, with
his small means, to raise a good flock OF
sheep from a few head. if he will do as ]
have done. will give brief sketch of my
experience in sheep raising in Kansas. for
the last three years.
In tie spring of 1860 I bought two
French Merino ewes; they had three lambs;
the dogs killed one and one died-so / had
only one left. In June of the same year
bought seventeen head of the common,
coarse wooded sheep. In all, then, l had
twenty head, fourteen of which were ewes.
The next spring. from the fourteen ewes l
raised twenty lambs. Right here I will
state one remarkable fact, which l would
hardly believe had it not come under my
own observation. It is this: Five ewes IN
the inside of thirteen months had taOenty fire
lambs, and raised them all. By the time
they have lambs this spring, they win have
over hundred head
hope this public statement, but never
theless true, viii encourage the poor farmer
to take ten dollars and buy two or three
good ewes, and take care of them. They will
be some bother and trouble in getting into
the fields through our open fences. But If
you have children. it viii be good employ
ment for them to keep them out. This, in
in my opinion, is the only way for poor
man TO make money. It is little slow at
drsS, but it is sure to pay.
Last year I sheared forty head, sold the
wool in LeayenRorth Tor twenty -four cents

The White WILLOW.


Fer some months past, great deal OF
noise has been made by some of the news
papers, and by many nurserymen. about a
kind of tree called the white Willow" 1t
is claimed to make the best hedge in the
worid-makes excellent timber-every far
mer may. grow a forest of it in an incred-
IDLY short space of time, etc., etc. We have
published none of the many articles which
have come under our notice. procIaiming

The Lawrence Republican of the Goth

SUsPIcIoUs.-An immense excitement has
been raised among the tree peddlers by a
newly discovered tree, or an old tree whose
good qualities have just been discovered,
called the white willow" Posters, plac-
ards and advertisements setting forth its
marvellous virtues, meet the eye at every
turn. We advise the farmers to go little
slow in investing in this thing. It smaeks
pretty strongly of one of those periodical
humbugs which sweep over the land
The same paper, of the 9th inst, spoke
as follows:

Agrculturist has the following sensible re
marks upon the "white willow" over which
such an enormous amount of blowing" is
Just now being done. From the obserya
tons of the Agriculturist,, it will be seen
that this willow has about the same charac-
teristics as our native cottonwood. We
repeat our advice of last week to farmers,
not to 60 too deeply into this thing, until it
has been tried here, where they can see for
themselves:
From all that we can gather, and from
what we know of this plant, we judge that,
as screen to break the force of sweeping
winds, it will answer good purpose; but
that its value as a hedge plant is as yet
rather problematical. As it is destitute of
thorns, and the small branches are always
weak, it can only serve as a hedge by pre-
senting a barrier of trunks. Whether the
willow, or any other tree, will grow when
planted near enough together for this, we
will only sustain a certain amount of vege-
tation, and the strongest plants will choke
and kill out the weaker ones. This happens

as a wind screen, there is no doubt it may
be employed with benefit.
''The followingi is the method of planting
for hedges: Cuttings about ten inches in
length, cut at the lower end with slope,
are stuck into the soil, in slightly inclined
position, at six inches apart. The plants are
hoed and weeded the first year, and the cat
tie kept away until they become large
enough to resist them.
"The white willow makes a large tree, 80
to go feet high. The wood is valuable for
charcoal, and makes a tolerably serviceable
timber. fixing advantage of the present
excitement, some persons have cut up the
common willow of the swamps, to sell as
the white illow. Those purchasing should
be on their guard against this imposition"

SELECTION OF THE GROUND.

We by all means advise those having the
choice of locations, 10 select a field sloping
to the south, so as to give the plants all the
benefit of the sun, possible. Cotton is en-
phatically sun plant, and requires all the
power of the sun in this climate 10 bring it
to maturity and to ripen the bolls early
enough to give az many pekings as posi-
bic. When a southern exposure cannot be
had, a southeastern or southwestern one
should be chosen, but by all means avoid a
northern slope.
