Hints about Labor.

Peas AND OATS may be sown together
any time during this month, using, on
soil well prepared by repeated harrow
| ings at intervals of several days. to kill
weeds, about two bushels of each seed
well mixed and drilled in deep; or, drill
In the peas three inches deep and SOW
the oats broadcast and harrow them IN
the same way the drills run.
MHLET, as a fodder crop, to cut be-
fore the seed ripens, is highly esteemed
by many. The large kind is sowed in
drills or broadcast, in good light soil
Weeds check its growth disastrously
at its first starting, but if the ground
can be stirred, it soon takes care of it
self even in rather weedy soil. The
small variety known as
HUNGARIAN GRASS, affords an album
dant crop of good hay on land OF good
heart, and bears a drouth well. 1t
should be cut soon after Towering, be-
cause the bristles, which surround the
mature grain, produce bad effects in
the stomachs of horses, and perhaps
other stock, which gives this fodder
bad reputation. Sow after the middle
of June, employing the previous time
TO clear the ground of weeds, using
about IL bushel GO to "a lbs. of the
seed to the acre, and brushing it in if
the ground is not very dry, in which
case it should be lightly narrowed. 1t
is valuable to cut green.
Corn. corn is not planted I'M
til the first week in June, and yet the
crops are secured. If planted late, of
course only the earliest maturing kinds
should be used. In its cultivation horse
power should take the place of the
hand-hoe as far as possible, and on
many soils it will be found hardly nee
essary to hoe at all, if the horse Guilt
vasion be thorough, and the rows run
both ways.
BEANs.-The white field bean may be
sown with profit any time during the
month. Plant in drills feet apart, the
hills being foot apart. The Blue Pod
and White Marrow are the best, the
latter ought not to be planted later than
the 25th.
Fowls. Give hens as much space as
possible, if confined, throwing them in
sods daily, as at this season grass will
be good part of their living. Provide /
clean gravel and lime, and good dust
and lime-wash the houses, nesta
boxes and roosts frequently. A ken
with chickens will do little scratching |
if each foot is tied up in little bag or
toe of an old stocking, and the brood /
will do much good in the garden.
CABBAGEs do we'll on soil rich ineGor-
ganic matter, such as reclaimed swamps,
in fact they will flourish on any rich
soil. They need good previous tillage
Of the soil, and constant culture, that is
enough to secure an open NEEDLESS soil

place of roots perfectly in feeding, and
mpart but very little flavor to the milk
provided no decayed leaves are fed.

THE CHOLERA.

There has been no death from chol
era, recently, at the New York quarantine.
The British steamer Union, from
Liverpool, arrived at the lower quarantine
New York Bay ON the 29th. During her pas
sage of sixteen days she had on board thirty
three cases of cholera, and fifteen Deaths
The convalescents were transferred to the
hospital ship Saratoga, and the sick to the
Union Pilot.
Three deaths occurred among the
children of an emigrant party, at Detroit, on
saturday, supposed to be Asiatic cholera. One
child died on the Great Western Railway train.
and two in the depot there. They belonged
to a party proceeding westward, and The
whole family is filthy in habits. The parents
were greatly frightened, and endeavOTed to
throw the bodies into the river to get rid of
them. There lis great excitement among the

A New Hardware Hanse

A New Hardware HOuse.-We take no
little pleasure in introducing to-day the
new firm of STONE and PHILLIPS, to the
people ofMilwaukee, and to the business
men of the Northwest. Mr. STONE is
well known, having for twelve years
been the chief clerk In the hardware
establishments of John Mario a. Co., of
this city, while Mr.. PHILLIPS came
here from Boston, where he has had a
large experience In the iron trade.
These young men have taken the store
No. 337, East Water street, a few
doors from Huron, and have filed a
void long felt, by opening a retail hard
ware, cutlery and house furnishing
establishment. Their new store has
been admirably fitted up for the display
of these goods, and their stock of shelf
hardware, embracing every article in
that department, is most extensive. Tt
is entirely new, and has been selected
with care for this market, the long
experience of Mr.. STONE qualifying him
to know Just what is needed.
The new feature, and an establish
ment which we are glad to notice, is
their house furnishing department. In
all large cities there are just such estah-
lishments, and the stock with which
this has been supplied is truly elegant
1t embraces plated ware of the latest
styles and finest qualities ever manufac-
tured, complete sets, dinner and tea,
table cutlery, etc., really refreshing to
look at, and well worthy visit to their
store.
In connection with their retail de-
partment Messrs. STONE & PHILLIPS
have embarked in the wholesale
Shelf Hardware cutlery and house
furnishing trade, and are now pre-
pared to offer liberal inducements
to merchants ofsthe northwest. Their
facilities for buying goods are not
excelled, while the extensive acquain-
lance of the former, and the fact that
the latter will not long remain a stran-
ger, will, We are assured, very soon make
them favorites with our country mer-
chants. We can with confidence recon-
mend the new house to our country
friends, as one with which they will find
it pleasure TO transact business.
Our city friends will need no invita-
ton to call in and see the new store of
Messrs. STONE & PHILLIPS, while those
from the country W Ii certainly find it to
their advantage to do so when here -

WASHINGTON MEMS.

The President has approved the bill
authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to
make regulations against the introduction of
cholera.
From letter from the Secretary of
the Treasury to Senator Sherman, it appears
that the amount of the public debt redeema-

The Republican Senatorial caucus re-
vealed the fact that more than twO-thirds will
support the constitutional amendment in a
modified form. The third section will prOba-
bly, be stricken out. Probably two substitutes
for the whole amendment will be offered in
the Senate. MesssTs. DOOlittle, COwan and
Dixon were not invited to take part in the eau
Gus.
The Senate, on the 29th, confirmed a
number of internal revenue officers for the
Southern States, and Benz Harris, of East
Bridgwater Collector for the Second District
OF Massachusetts; Cassius Fairchild, Mashal
for the District of Wisconsin; John Cummins
OF Idaho, Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court of that Territory; also the following
Consuls: X. +. Farrell, at Oadiz; Will. p. Man
gum OF North Carolina, at Nagasaki; j. b. G.

1t has been ruled by the Second Au-
ditOr Of the Treasury, whose decision has
been sustained by the Second Comptroller,
that no bounty or arrearages of pay should be
given to the widow or heirs of any individual
who deserted from the services of the United
States, no matter how short the desertion
Notwithstanding he may have subsequently
served out the term of his enlistment. In the
prepared bills now before Congress this policy
Is adopted, and all deserters are excluded
from the benefits thereof.

FEEDING SHEEP.

have often been asked the question,
''How much hay and grain will sheep
eat?'' have found by actual trial (hav-
ing weighed the hay and grain for saw
eral days in succession fed to lots. of
sheep of different weights,) that sheep
will eat three per cent. of their weight
of English hay or its equivalent. But
there is one thing worthy of considera-
ton, that is, sheep weighing from 100 to
100, will bring more by the pound than
weighing 100 or less.
Where large quantity of grain is fed,
less hay is required. 1t has been nv
usual practice to feed hay twice in the
morning, and twice in the afternoon,
and grain once orttEiee; the number of
times depended upon the quantity
Commence feeding grain with a small
amount, say one half pint per head. and
gradually increase the amount When
L wish to feed one pint per day, / would
advise to halve the quantity and feed it
twice. the first feed In the morning and
the last IN the afternoon, as the racks
are more easily cleaned at those times.
l am acquainted with one individual
who styles himself good feeder, who
feeds his oxen eight quarts of corn meal
day, but all at one time. 1 would
prefer my oxen to have six quarts fed
twice, six hours apart three quarts at
each feed) than eight fed all at one time,
To sheep, whose weight exceeds 100
pounds, L have given one pint to each
feed. Sheep weighing 150 pounds or
more, will bear a larger amount of grain
than have mentioned.
1t is my practice if / wish to fatten,
and give all the grain they would have, |
to give a mixture of cotton seed or lin |
seed meal and corn, as there is less dan |
ger of cloying, than when feeding corn |
alone, and have even thought that if |
was giving an animal as much corn as /
he could bear, that could give an ex-
ira amount of cotton seed without /
harm.
Without the probability of rise in
the market, it will be attended with a
loss to feed heavily for great length
Of time, say for more than three or four
weeks, as the number of pounds gained
will not pay for the feed
As to age. which | would select for
eeding, it matters little, never refusing
| good animal because it was not the
light age. My choice would be four
rear old wether. Il have practiced feed
ng lambs little less than a year old
With good success. They bear grain
veil, and usually bring more by the
,ound in market.
There are three essentials in shep-
eeding, of which have not yet spok-
N, viz: hay, water, and quiet. AS to
he first, my first choice is clover, which
think is worth more for sheep than
or any other stock. Water should al
iays come into the pen, where the
heep can go and drink as often as thew
lease, which is quite often, and in no
