WHAT AfLs THE SHEEP--1t is
pretty well known, says the Hudson
mich, } Gazette, unfortunately to
sheep owners, )that there is an alarm
ing mortality among many of the
focks OF the country the cause Of
which is attributed to the varieus
diseases and ailments that sheep are
heir to, but it is pretty generally cen-
ceded, among those who have exam
ined both ante and post-mortena, that
the taking off comes Of grub in the
head. On examination of the head
of a yearling, that had died Of dis
ease in the head, were found no less
than seventeen Of those vermin
known as the grub, varying in size
from one half inch in length, and di-
ameter of wheat straw, to three
quarters Of an inch in length, and di-
ameter of a common pipe STEM
Can these things be and sheep sur
vive? Will some one publish rem
edy, tried and reliable, that we who
are suffering depletion of dangerous
focks, may read experiment and per-
haps, save our mutton?

A IaTrLR LAND WELL TrLLBD.-
The New England Farmer tells a
story which another paper character
ICES as whopper, about an acre
and a half Of poor land in st. Jehns-
hurv. Vt. producing thirteen and q
half tons Of timothy hay last season.
The Farmer says the land was
n,ouehed in August, 1865, top dress-
ed with forty five loads OF yard ma
nure. and sown with three pecks of
timothy seed, well narrowed and
rolled in. Eight tons of hay was
cut the last week in June, and 1ve
and half more the first week In
September. Now, however big TINS
story may look to New England iar
mers, who call ten an acre fair
crop, and two tons large, and VINO
would have spread the above 40
loads of manure over ten acres In
stead of one and half, yet an Eng
lish farmer would ask them what
they were staring at, and assure
them with truth that even larger
crops were not rare in the s'old
country" We don't know about
timothy in particular, but We have
the authority Of Capt. Williamson,
an English agricultural writer, that
ten tons of sanfsin may be obtained
to the acre, in three crops, and that
eight tons of Lucerne is the average
crop, of the two cuttings OF that
sphere, while Of rye grass it is said
that twelve tons have in SEINE instan-
ces been harvested. 1t is true our
short seasons weuld seldom, il sver
give us third crop. and not always
perhaps, second, hut the poorest
acre in the country could be made to
weld double or tribe what we now
obtain on an average from the best,
if we would concentrate eur forces
and spend on one acre what is mis-
spent on ten. It requires no pre-
found study to see that it costs twice
as much to cultivate two acres OF
land as it does to cultivate one, and
if the same crep can be got fren one,
simply by giving it the manure Of
two, where is the mighty advantage
in fencing and paying taxes and Ia
bsr on two. Veg tables, like ami
mails, grow out of what they are fed
on, the earth being but a mechanical
support to both kingdoms, whether
they move on its surface or are fixed
in it, and so hong as plants are sup
piled with an abundance Of proper
food there is ne limit to their in
crease short of actual rosm. In the
Tropics, as is well known, the forests
are often an almest solid and impen-
etrable mass of vegetation, while the
roots of the yam and mandieea in
crease, year after year, till they COM
pletely fill the ground, the product
to several Thousand bush
els per acre. If the Yankees must
crafty their "earth hunger" as
Emerson calls it, by owning all the
land that joins them, let them own it
indeed, but cultivate no more than
they can do justice to, and let the
rest lie common, and ask the towns
not to tax it as field land.-NsUbary-
