Fall.Feeding Breeding Ewes.

The ewes on weaving their lambs should be
put on. short dry pasturage, until their milk
dries off, and then on feed which will rapidly re-
store their flesh. They do not as much as
lambs demand shelter and extra feed before
winter, but there is no doubt that they amply
pay for it in condition, especially ewes that are
getting old and beginning to lose their strength.
Strong middle aged sheep, however. demand
no other extra feed than hay or corn stalks
until winter sets in. Sheep we'll summered
are half wintered." To let them become thin
before winter, renders it difficult and far more
expensive to winter them safely and we'll; they
are not SO likely to take the ram, and theil
product of wool is diminished And if quite
thin there is an absolute peril of their lives il
the winter is an unfavorable one, however well
they may be taken care of. The danger is the
greatest to the quite young and old sheep
These sometimes will Lot improve, but begin to
run at the nose and eyes, gradually lose their
appetite, grow weaker and weaker, in some
cases exhibiting costireuess, and in Others
obstinate diarrhea, and perish miserably.-
When they commence going this way, medicine
feed and care are almost thrown away upor
them.

Seed Corn.

Not only should extra care be taken to have
all corn designed for planting next spring
thorough ripened and dried, but the best ears
should be selected. Those r:pening first are
quite likely to produce the earliest rpening crop
when planted again.
The largest ears should be taken, and these
from the most prolific stalks. Those which are
perfect, having the kernels well filed out al
both ends, should in all cases be chosen.
These matters are quite too often overlooked
We have known many farmers who have ex'
pended five to ten dollars or more per acre in
preparing and planting a piece Of ground, fro m
which they have gathered half q crop, simply
for want of shilling's worth of time ia select
ing and preparing the best seed, and this, in q
greater or less degree, is too much the case
generally. It is like that other piece of bad
economy practiced by muititudes, who send
their children to the district school year at sn
expense Of thirty to fifty dollars for clothing
teachers, &C., and yet lose half the benefit to
be derived simply because they withhold one
extra shilling for suitable book.
We urge every farmer to 60 over bis corn.
fields himself, as soon as the crop is ripened,
and gather out the kind of ears we have indicat.
ed, and then either husk and store them away
in dry room, or go back to the old fashioned
plan of stripping down the husks, braiding them
together so that the seed ears may be hung up
in the attic, or any other safe place.

Nstflll aao Curious.
A Capital Bath.

An open window, with the direct rave of the
sun coming in, will be good for the little one.
On hot Summer day, to lay it down near the
window. quite nude. and let it lay for some
minutes where the rays of the sun may fall up
on its skin, will give it new life. There is a
vital relation between the sunshine and Wig
orous human being. Seclusion from sunshine
ia one of the greatest misfortunes of civilized
life. The same cause which makes potato
vines white and sickly when grown in dark
cellars, operates to produce the same pale,
sickly girls that are reared in our pariors. Ex

they begin to show color, health and strength

WHY stacks Lean.

Stacks will sometimes lean to such degree
that all above the bulge must be pitched Oh,
and the stack re topped. When most Of the
pitching is done on one side of the stack; the
opposite side does not get pressed down 50 hrm-
", and it therefore settles more than the side
where the material is pitched on. This causes
the stack to lean; and by leaning the courses
are turned up to such degree that on one ai5e
it is down toward the middle of the stack
Another reason why stacks lean is, that the
bulge ia laid oct further from the centre on one
side than on the other; and az the side that ID
laid ont the furtherst will settle the most, the
entire stack often leans so far as to fall over.
The usual way of keeping stack from lean
ing is, to thrust one end Of rail or pole
against it, and set the other end on the ground.
This sometimes turns up the courses 50 as to
conduct the rain toward the middle of the stack
To avoid all difficulty from this source, let it be
braced by setting one end Of a plank few
inches in the ground. and the upper end press.
ed against the bulge of the stack. This plank
should stand perpendicularly, so as not TO turn
the courses ofthe sheaves up sidewise. The up
right plank is to be keptin position by rail OF
pole resting against broad stake in the ground
while elect upon the plank prevents the othei
end from slipping. Several such braces may
be fitted to a stack, which will hold it in correc
position while settling This manner Of bracinl
q stack before it has settled, when there i
danger that high wind may blow it over, vii
often be found very convenient. When staci
is braced in this manner, the props can be 70
moved at pleasure; whereas, when thrust agains
the side, it settles so heavily on them, that it !
difficult to take them away if desired, after J
has sttled firmly into place.

The Notary,s Bible.

Some few years ago there was Notary Pub

"Why, this is copy of it."
"Thaddeus of Warsaw" exclaimed the old
gentleman. He snatched the book, gave one
glance at it, and then cried out: "For twenty
years have been swearing people on that

Chambers Too Late !

We have heretofore repeatedly warned our
readers and the public against the danger of
getting glandered horses from the Government.
Now we must reiterate this. and state the fact,
among the horses sold in this city at Govern
ment sales, those well known to have this
malignant disease (affecting men as we'll as
horses) have been repeatedly and constantly
sold. There is not a respectable horse dealer
on Oath street who will allow a Government
horse to come near his stable.
This statement rests on the assurance of q
physician and thorough veterinafisr, who also
states to US that within few days he has seen
q badly glandered horse eating his oats out of his
masters butcher cart, which was subsequently
filled with meat for distribution to families
Ought these things to be +? The Government
might better have shot every horse than to have
them spread contagion and death (for the dis.
ease is utterly incurable) among the stables Of
the country, far and near. Besides, we shall very
likely here of men dying in unutterable agony
from this malady.

From the New York Observer

We have had in use for months past one Of
Vests Pumps, which has given US more sat
isfaction as force and lifting pump than any
we have ever used. 1t is one of great power,
and well adapted for ships decks; mines. fac
tories, green houses, graperies, &C., &c. The
Mining Chronicle and Railway Journal says:
1t is recommended for its extreme simplicity
of construction, groat strength, and conse-
quent durability and cheapness of repair
There is no stuf6ng box-the pressure being
held by a cup packing, like that upon the
working piston, working in cylinder, fitted
for the purpose within the upper air chamber
which we think great improvement, as stuffing
is so liable to be deranged, and leak under
strong pressure, to say nothing of the loss BY
friction incident thereto. 1t has also two air
chambers: thus the action of the valve is
cushioned upon both sides BY air-pr venting
water hammer and vacuum thump. The valves
are very accessible, and simply and cheaply
repaired. They work much easier than any
pump we have ever seen; the 4 inch cylinder
being worked by children in wells. 100 feet
deep, and as they are extremely cheap as well
as simple and strong, We freely recommend
them.

Baked Beans.

Few people know the luxury Of baked beans
simply because few cooks properly prepare
them Beans generally are not cooked hall
long enough. This is sure method: Two
quarts of middling-sized white beans, two
pounds of salt pork. and one spoonful of mo.
lasses; pick the beans over carefully, wash
them, and add a gallon of soft water, boiling
hot; let them soak in 1t over night; in the
morning put them in fresh water, and boil gen
tly till the skin is very tender, and about tt
break; take them up dry, put them in you
dish; stir in the molasses; cash the pork and
put it down in the dish, so as to have the beam
cover all but the upper surface; turn in boiling
water till the top is just covered; bake with I
steady fire four or five hours; watch them, ant
add more water from time to time, as it drie
away.

Seeding Timothy at the West.

Spring sowing of timothy and clover seed
sometimes fails TO catch or make stand" as
our farmers say. A correspondent of the
Prairie Farmer recommends sowing after wheat.
He says:
:" As soon as the wheat is cut and hauled OF,
harrow the ground thoroughly, SOW q peck Of
timothy early in August, then brush lightly
The March following SOW two quarts OF clover.
If the coming spring and summer should be
wet the spring sowing may succeed. But the
fall sowing would not be afraid to warrant"
Another writer says: {" have had consider
able experience in sowing timothy, and have
not failed to get g good stand when sowed
during February among wheaton BY itself on
ground prepared in the fall. Iput on from five to
six quarts of seed per acre, and if want clover
with it, l SOW very light sprinklirg after the
heavy freezing is over, and it win gain on the
timothy. | sowed it this way last spring, and
cut heavy crop of hay last summer from it."

Miscegenation.

We clip the following from an exchange:
We had, last Winter, as man ofall work, q

Tom. Tom is something of a genius in his
peculiar way, and though "not very hefty on
wort," as he expresses it, he is "some" on
witty sayings. Tom prides himself On the pu-
rity of his blood. mo mean, NANCY white
blood about dis yer chile," Tom is wont to say
On one occasion, Mrs. P, the lady of the
house, found Tom in the kitchen giving way to
series of b'hoos, accompanied by a copious
food of tears.
"Why, Tom. what is the matter with you?"
asked the kind hearted lady.
To whom Tom replied: "Dey says my brud.

Warts ON Plum Trees.

A writer in the Germantown (Pa.) Telegraph
says: "To get these knobs from the trees al

An Unhealthy House.

Florence Nightingale says, and it is true
that dark house is always au unhealthy house
always an ill-aired house, always dirty house
Want of light stops growth and promotes scrof
ua. ricketts,, etc., among children. People lose
their health in dirty house; and if they go
i'll, they cannot get well again in it. Three
out Of many negligences and ignorances il
managing the health Of houses generally,
will here mention as specimens: First, that the
female head in charge of any building does no
think it necessary to visit every hole and corne
of it every day. Second, that it is not consid
cred essential to air, to sun, and clean room
while uninhabited. Third, that one window i
considered enough to air a room.
