What has Been Done.

The Sanitary reporter states that the
United States Sanitary Commission, during
the two years ending September 1st, 1868,
distributed in the West, 49, al bushels
potatoes, 46, 807 pounds of concentrated
milk, 497, 365 pounds of dried fruit, COL, =
603 shirts, 1l3, 329 pairs of drawers, &c
The report concludes with the following
remark
"a careful estimate Of the cash value of
stores known to have been distributed by
our agents in the Western Department du-
ring the past two years, fixed it at two mil
lions, two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, or one and one half per cent. on their
valuation"
1t is also stated that the total value of
hospital supplies that have been contribu-
ted by the people through the United States
Sanitary Commission is officially reported
to be upwards of seven million of dollars,
estimating the articles at wholesale m arket
prices. 1t is further stated that the Wes-
tern Sanitary Commission, having its head
quarters in st. Louis, has, within the two
years past, averaged in money and goods,
an outlay of fifty thousand dollarr per
month, or one million two hundred thous-
and dollars, the whole Of which has gone
to the direct prevention or relief of suffer
ing among the soldiers of the Western ar
my, deducting one and half per cent,
which covers the total costs of all salaries,
agencies and distributions.

EARLY SHEEP SHEARIEG- WAsHIEG.-
No real lover of his flock drives his sheep
to the washing without feeling akin to re-
morse. He would not do 1t were 1t not that
be believes that the market demands wool
washed on the back Though it is true that
washed woods sell more readily, yetin times
like these where any and all woods are quick
ly taken up. an opportunity for reform IS
offered which ought not 10 be overlooked.
Sheep which are to be washed ought not to
be sheared before settled warm weather. In
many seasons this will not come before the
last Of June. They are then in much less
danger of taking cold and receiving perma-
nent injury. They ought TO be washed on
y in water which is so warm that the wash
ers do not find it uncomfortable to stand In
it with the sheep. The shock to the flock,
of the immersion in cold water and being
subsequently, exposed to raw winds-fol-
lowed by being reduced to a state of abso-
lutte nakedness, is sufficieot cause to &C
count for "suuff1es,' aud prevalent lang
difficulties. The rule in regard to washing
is to wash as little as possible, but even this
involves the necessity for thoroughly wet
ting the entire fleece. 1t is great object
to have the sheep sEeared as early as they
can be, and fully month may be gained if
they are sborn without washing. The fleece
starts better, the sheep seem actually bene-
fitted, weakly ones often brighten up and
do well, and all are in much better condi-
ton TO bear autumnal storms which often
come before the focks are sufficiently clad
to bear the change well. Contagious dis
eases are not unfrequently communicated
by farmers using the same washing pens
with their neighbors, which may be una
voidable.
II the sheep be shorn unwashed, partio-
ular care should be taken to have them all
well tagged, and all dirt removed which is
not too thoroughly incorporated with the
fleece. The discount of one-third in price
for unwashed wool is not fair, yet the farm
er may we'll submit to it for the advantage
his flock gains. if it be a valuable one
knowing that like other abuses it will be
corrected by time. Sheep should be shorr
on smooth, clean floors, by careful, humane
quick, experienced men. The cleanliness
of the floor, the removal of dung and straw
| brought in upon the feet, are important.

THE PROSPECTIVE DEMAND FOR Horses
AND MULEs.-Hundreds of thousands Of
horses are used up and killed in the opera
tons of war. The high and rising prices
are temptation TO sell, but we counsel ell
farmers who can do so, not to sell their
young mares, but breed from them, ii they
are fit for it. The demand for mules is
equal to that for horses, and their consump-
ton is quite as large. The mule, it is well
known, is marketable after it is two years
old, broken ar unbroken. and no guarantee
of soundness is required, while the horse is
not saleable until four or five years old, and
must be sound and well broken, and will
bring no more as general thing than a
mule,

SONG OF THE HERN

When Robin. Swallow, Thrush and Wren,
Prom "way down South, - had come again.
/ roamed through field and wood. to see
If birds, like men. could "rebels" be-
1 wondered if their tiny throats
Would circulate secession ''notes;
think, maybe, my thoughts they knew,
So what they sang I'll sing 20 you.
First, rising from sodgy brook,
The stump bold Bob-o'-Lincoln took;
"Well, now, guess I'm glad" said he,
''For my free speech stump to see; >.
They couldn t hold me in the mesh
OF that strange net they call .seeesh'
To keep me down they needn't think on
Hurrah for Bob and Abram Lincoln 70
The Robin Red-breast sang his song:
''Ah, me I've seen such fearful wrong
I thought at first the storm would clear up,
But soon had no heart to 'chirrup p
The sunny south is fine, know,
When Northern hills are white with snow;
But oh It's full of grief and pain
Cheer up! chirrup! I'm home again!"
The Wren pipsd forth her tiny cry:
"a little thing. I know, am L
But small. weak things, ike You mud me,
My sister Swallow, love the free 70
Tue Sparrow heard the lowly call,
And said, ''Who heeGs the Sparrow's fall,
And keeps them always in His sight,
Shall hear Ne sing God speed the Right!"
Then jay, the blue-bird, Joined the throng,
And babe the white Dove fly along;
And Orole, with throat of red
And then, exultingly. he said:
"Come, loyal birds. and as we stand,
Behold the colors Of our Land
Let every bird that's brave aud true,
Sing cheer the Red, and White, and Blue !"
The sky o'crhead was clear and bright
The North wind sang Ger plain and height;
The rill went singing on its way.
And leaves and flowers were bright and gay;
The rock, and wood, and meadow rang,
AS loud, and clear, and sweet they sang;
And every bird, it seemed to me.
Sang Praise the Lord We're free we're free!
