wAsHING SHEEP.

Eos. PRAIRIE FARMER :-Most of
the wool-growers whom Is-visitcd in
Vermont are decidedly opposed to
washing sheep. They think it often
injuaes them, in which opinion I con-
cur. When We. see animals take the
care sheep do to walk round or jump
over tho water and struggle to get out
when takensinto it, as sheep will, l
think common sense teaohcs it is not
good for them. am confirmed in this
opinion, from the fact that in :s sk1s eli
mate VIC have sudden changes of wealth
er, and su,h changes often occur when
we wash sheep, rendering in cold and
uncomfortable for. them. Before they
are dry, they often take cold and some
times die in consequence l think.
Another reason for not washing is
we can shear earlier, aad in cool wealth
er Il wool grows faster and protects
the skin and We get better clip then
when shearing is delayed for warm
weather before washing. Often when
sheep are shorn late in tbs season, the
sun IS so hot their skin is burnt, aud
sometimes blissers, and in consequence
che wool grows v.ry little for weeks.
1t may not be as injurious IS practiced
BY some in the central part Of the
State, viz make a data on the little
. streams where the water becomes warm
in tie sun previous to washing. Still
think washing sheep Il dirty job We
might dispense with, and it would be
better for all concerned, as the manu-
facturer has the wool to cleanse in any
case. IF all would shear without wash
ing our wool, would think find a mar
ket and be bought on its merits, as it
should be, without any particular rule
of deduction. L. L. GoRuAM.

PREPARING AND PLANTING APPLE
SEEDS.

The Furmcr's Oracle gives the FOL-
lowing directions for planting apple
seeds:
Gas much difficulty occurs with ANA
teurs in getting up apple ant other
small seeds Of. trees and shrub we ap-
pend our experience which proved a
success.
"soak your seed for twenty four
hours, or more, III warm water Mix
, thoroughly with treble their bulk of
moist earth; place it in a shallow box
with cracks in the bottom, and sink
this box level with the surface of. the
esrh, covering the top with two inches
Of soil, and thus let them remain till
,pring. As soon as the round is fit to
work in the spring, pillow, harrow, and
otherwise make your ground mellow
and leYal pulverizing al tho Jumps.
Rake off smooth, as for onions. Put
down your line and olga drill two inch
es deep under it ), take out your seeds
! and SOW in the drill, covering them
about two inches, by making little
water course along near the seeds. Pat
tic loose earth along the row with your
!, hoe, and keep the ground r DIST, and
the young trees will be up in from
two to three weeks.

VALUE OF CARROTS.

Carrots are very excellent 8 tod,ler"
for horses that have been long kept on
highly carbonaceous food, and who e
digestive organs may be out of order in
consequence. Of their constant activity
In reducing meal and oats into the ele.
ments of animal nutrition. With fair
allowance of carrots. ground oats, and
sweet hay, horse viii enjoy good health
and spirits, have loose hide, shining
coat, and healthy lungs \ daily al
lowance of carrots should always be
furnished to horses, the subjects Of in
digestion whose food often runs into
fermentation, inducing diarrhe,. or a
lax, washy state Of the bowels. Car
rots furnish an acid called poetic, which
possesses the curious property of gela
tinizing the watery contents Of the d.
gcstlve cavities. A few drops of this
poetic acid will gelatinize both, and
when mixed with the juice ofan orange,
changes the same into jelly: So that
if the alvice discharges of horse are
watery carrots can be used AZ a valu-
able therapeutic agent, Both in view
of arrcsting the same and restoring the
tone Of the stomach and bowels. BY
examining the excrements Of horse,
fed in part on carrots, it will be found
to contain no undigested hay or oats,
and therefore we may safely infer that
they promote digestion, so that Try the
constant use Of carrots. less quantities
of hay and oats will suffice than when
larger'amount is consumed, and parted
with, in an undige sted state For fat
tening animals, carrots are exceedingly
valuable. It will be urged that car
rots are not very nutritous-that may
be; still, if they possess the property Of
gelatiuizing the contents of the stomach
and bowels, they are in the manufacture
Of fat out Of their food, which might
9th rwise pass out Of the system.
