From the Ohio Farmer.I
Ticks nm Lambs,

Three years ago had four hundred
lambs, that l had bought during the
summer and fall previous. had fed
them we'll and they were fat, but to my
surprise they were covered with ticks.
Being a green hand at sheep raising,
did not know what to do, and sought
advice from older and moro experienced
persons. Among the rest l stated my
case to Col. Messenger of Marion, and
he told me to go home and feed my
lambs sulphur freely mixed with ground
feed, or salt. did so and soon found
that the ticks were leaving the bodies
of the lambs, and working out into the
wool. Aud in few days the lambs
were spotted with ticks. The ticks
soon became poor and began to drop off
and soon the ground was strewn with
ticks, and every time went to see my
lambs, | would get dozen or more
ticks on me, and if / had been as badly
off for hands as lamb, should have
been obliged to use sulphur or be tor
mented with ticks!
Suffice to say, that by shearing time
the ticks were oil gone. still feed sui
phur occasionally and have no ticks.
My flock is healthy; have lost but two
this winter out of flock of a thousand.
| | sold the entire lot of wethers (com-
ing four years old) two hundred for six
cents per pound, to be delivered the first
of April, with the wool off. Your plan
of smoking them out will kill the ticks,
but sulphur is much cheaper than to-
bacGo and labor. II. c. HAMILTON.

RsisinR Oaious from seed

A good deal of difficulty is oxperienc.
ed bv many in raising onions from seeds
and often the seeds are sown one season
and removed from the earth when
grown large enough for "sets" and
Kept until the next year for maturing
The poor success is generally owning to
late sowing and unsuitable soil. A
sandy loan is the hest for onions, but
they may be raised prOfitably in clay
soil, by generous application of we'll
rotted manure, leaf mold, or virgin soil
The ground should be prepared as soon
in the spring as the season viii allow.
Work il up deeply until throughly pnl-
verized, ct the same time working in the
renovator.
When the bed has been put into good
condition give the top a coating Of fine
hen manure and sand to the depth of
about one inch, and with the hoe mix
this with the surface of the soil. Sow
the seeds in drills about eight inches
apart, and when they are up thin to
about the same distance the other way.
Keep the bed clean aud the onions In
the fall will be worth looking at If the
season is favorable.

A DIau ofRasiuesH.

He must know the pIarkct price Of all
he grows on his farm, and the relative
value Of every kind of live stock. He
should understand the points of cattle
and sheep, and keep constantly posted
OH the rise and fall of every commodity
connected with agriculture.
A man of business will always look
forward far enough to keep his blowing,
cultivation and seeding done i'll
good time; lie will do great deal of
preparation for spring planting in the
autumn, so that if it comes very wet
time, then he may not have either to
plant improperly or be behind with
everything.
He will not have animals lie tOgeth.
or in such way that the stronger take
oil the best of the food, while the weak
or 90 back and waste in flesh ard health;
he will not suffer his young stock to be
exposed to the inclemency of the wealth
er in winter, or allow any creature of
whatever age or kind t. feel the paugs
of hunger or the rigor of cold weather.
He will always have time TO do every
thing, because he looks forward, and
calculates correctly, making ample al
lowance for contingencies; aud farming
on a system adapted to his soil ana To-
cality, he carries out successfully all he
undertakes.
You never hear II man of business say
he cannot get help, or that he lost by
cutting his grass when too old, or bis
grain or corn when too ripe, because he
was short of hands. He alwayspays good
men rather more than the average rate
of wages, uses them fairly, and dis
charges all unreliable ones; leaving
them to be employed by those who pay
lower, and who neglect the higher
branches of agriculture-to labor all
day to drag along set of men who will
not work faithfully unless their employ
er works with them. A man of bust
ness, az an agriculturist, can say to his
men-"Do this" and they will do it, be-
cause he has discernment to employ
none but good workmeu, and liberality
enough to treat them soas to keep them
with him. He leaves it for those who
have stronger muscles than brains, and
lack tact in managing laborcrs to say
"Come along boys" and thus shame a
worthless set of fellows to earn their
board, which is more than many will
do who are supposed to be hired cheap.
A thorough man of business, as farm
er, is completely master of the situa-
ton. He can go ont for the day, If nee
esSary, attending an auction sal, or
visiting any one with celebrated herd
and flock; he can look around frequent
ly, and purchase bargains of needy
farmers, who have no genius for buying
and selling, and who have no time to
go from home; yet, when the man of
business returns. home, he sees what
has been done in his absence, and finds
that all is we'll, for his men have been
tried before and never found wanting.

Orchard CateFpillars-Destro Eggs
Now.

Yellowish brown moths or Tillers de-
posite eggs in cylinders, or rings, encir-
cling small branches upon fruit trees
in the fail. These bulbs usually con-
tain from two, to FIVE hundred eggs,
and they are protected from the wet
and cold by coating of peculiar water
proof yarnish. In the spring as soon as
'the weather is warm enough TO start
youRg leaves, the eggs batch out into
worms, and they subsist upon ths foil
age of the trees-if not destroyed-foy
q number of weeks, and then encase
themselves in cocOons and undergo o
transformation and appear again rs
metbs or millers.
The eggs are usually deposited near
the extremity of branch, and can be
readily seen. The best time TO destroy
them is early spring. Take a common
fruit ladder and go through the orchard
clipping of every twig containing a
bulb, and put it into the fire Each
bunch of eggs TINS removed destroys
hundreds of caterpillars that would re-
quire ten times the amount of labor
with coal.oil, soap. suds, etc, to eradi-
cate one month later.
