DIVIDING SHEEP FLocKs FOR WNTER.--In lati
tudes where sheep are fed dry feed, and are
kept confined to stables and small yards in win.
ter, even Merinos will not bear herdng together
in large numbers They should be divided into
separate lots before, and preparatory to going
into winter quarters. 1t is better that these
lots be made as small as convenience permits
and not exceed 100 each. The sheep in each
shoald be as nearly Uniform in size and strength
as practicable, or otherwise the stronger will
rob the weaker, both at the rack and trough
and drive them out whenever they come in con.
tact. Breeding ewes, wethers and weaned lambs
should always be kept in separate parcels from
each other, in well regulated aocks.
Sheep which arc old and feeble, late born
lambs, etc., had better be sold at any price, or
given to poor neighbor who has time to nurse
and take care of them. But if kept by the
aock-master they should be put by themselves
in q particularly sheltered and comfortable
place, where they can receive extra feed and at
tenton. This is usually called the hospital"
English sheep should be divided into smaller
parcels, and with the same regard to age, con.
dition and sex Randall.

The HIGH PRICE or GRAIN.-The injury to
the Indian corn at the West by frost, was proba-
bly, as great as was supposed before it was gath
cred, and the result is great advance in price
But whether the deficiency is sufficient to Justify
the extreme high prices which now prevail, is not
certain Dealers are doubtless deeply engaged
in speculation, and with the limited quantity in
the Eastern markets at this time, when lake and
canal navigation is about to close, it il question:.
BILE whether prices will recede much before spring.
The high price of Indian corn has been extended
to other grain to certain extent, particularly to
oae, which are selling here at IS cents per bush.
Ell, corn being quoted at $l,32. The greal de-
mand Of the Government for the support Of army
horses, Is one of the chief causes Of these high
rates. 1t is possible that these heavy quantities
Of oats may be brought in from the British prov
inces in the course Of the winter. Hay is also W
unusually high. Hence, uLder the most hyora
BILE circumstances that can be anticipated, it be-
hooves the tsrmar to practice the most strict econ
omy in feeding his stock. 1t should Of course
be kept well, but care should be constantly exer
csed that no more food is given than is required
to keep animels up to the proper standard. Th'
consumption Of hay has been comparatively small
to this time owing to moderate weather and tn
absence Of snow. Boston Cttttivator.

VENTILATNG CELLARs.--An unventilated eel
lar is a residence for the seeds Of pestiIence and
death. Diptheria and typhoid fever are moi
unlrequently the result Of marasmas accumu
lated in close underground apartments, where
vegetable and animal matters are allowed to de.
cay and decompose. Organic matters of any
kind should never be kept in any room or place
unless free and ample circulation OF air is &C.
cured. The Working Farmer gives the follow
ing plan for ventllatlUg cellars, which we com
mend to the consideration Of our readers
" A stove on the first floor may have branct
from its smoke pipe passing down through the
floor so as to receive the top air OF the cellar
This pipe should be slightly enlarged at its low
er end, and it should be supplied with a valve
When the fire is being lighted this valve may b.
shut and afterward opened, so as to leave suff
Gent draft for the stove. Thousafd DIS of cubic
feet OF damp airand foul gases will pass through
the chimney from the cellar daily, and thus rem
der it both clean and dry at all times, Every
philosophical mind will see the truth OF THU
statement, and at the same time must admi
that where such an arrangement does not exist
that, to degree at least, these foul gases mus
leak through the cracks in the floor, to the de
triment of the health Of the inmates, before i
passes through the fro into the chimney. Eve
ry chimney should be connected in some wal
with the cellar, 80 as to be used as a!ventilato
when required"

Wide let Its hollow bed be made
There gently lay the roots, and there

Shall lengthen into leafy spraysi

Shall haunt and sing and hide her nea.
We plant upon the sunny lea

Ashelter from the summer shower,
When we plant the appls-tree.
What plant we in the apple-tree
Sweets for hundred fowery spri mrs,
load the May-winds restless wings.
When, from the orchard row be pous
Its fragrance through our open ioors;

Flowers for the sick girls silent room
For the slad infant sprgs Of bloom,
We plantwith the apple-.ree.

Fruits that shall swell in sunny June,
And retden In the August noon,
And drop as gentle airs come by
That fan the blue September sky
while children, wild with noisy alec.
Shall scent their fro GRANGE as they pass,
And search for them the tufted grass
At the foot Of the spple-tres,
And when above this apple
Winter fiors srequivering bright,
And Winds go bowling hrouh the night,
Girls, whose young eyes o'erdow with mirth,
Shall peel Its fruit by cottage hearth,
Aud guests In pr uder homes shall zee,
Heaped with the orange and the grape,
As fair - they in tint or shape,
The fruit ofthe apple-tree.

Where mes shall wonder at the view,
And a. k in what fair groves they grew
And they who roam beyond the sea

And long hours passed In summer play
In the shade Of the apple-tree.
Each year shall give this apple tree.
A broader flush Of reseate blcom
A deeper maze Of verdurous gloom,
And loosen when the frosl-cloads lower,
The crisp brow leaves In thicker showeri
The years shall come and pass, but we
Shall hear no longer, where we lie,
The summers songs, the sutumn's sigh,
In the boughs Of The apple tree.
And time shall waste this apple.tree.
Oh, when Its aged branches throw
Thin ihadows on the sward below
