sEsfn That the rebel debt will be assumed
in the event Of the success of Seymour

predominant element in the Democratic
party could easily carry it The Mobile
Tribune says:
One of the first things we will ask will
be the assumption Of the Confederate debt.
This is precluded by the amendment
known as the fourteenth article. But the
Democracy deny that this amendment has

Management of Sheep.

My PLAN pursued for many years. has been,
as soon as the grass failed, to put my sheep
into small enclosures or yards-say contain
ing about one acre-from which they should
not be permitted to depart Except a few
times) until the grass is sufficiently advanced
for their support, say from April 10 to May
/. have even kept up my wethers with
advantage until ten days before clipping,
when pasture was scarce. The advantages of
this mode, are that the sheep take Immediate
ly to their dry feed when put up-their relish
for dry feed is not destroyed by the INSULT
cient taste Of grass they can pick up during
the Winter-they eat their feed readily and
lie down. Another benefit of this plan, even
greater, is in the spring. The Spring grass
tempts them from their hay-they will not
eat il, when permitted to wander over the
fields; while the grass itself is not sufficient
IN quantity to sustain them, and even what
they do get does them more injury in its ten
der state, by producing seours, which in the
Spring is nearly synonym of death. Some
may fancy this course is unnatural | say
experience is higher authority than fancy.
make another point of economy. Pas
tnre, II you please, your clover aud timothy
fields during the month of April and you
may expect but little from them during the
whole Summer; aud besides they become
permanently injured whereas, if You permit
them to attain their full strength until the 9th
or lth Of May, you can scarce get the bet
ter OF them. One months pasturing in the
Spring, after the grass has started is worse
than three months later in the season. Many
farmers object to keeping of sheep, that they
cannot get them through the Spring until
grass comes To such | would say, select
and fence in an acre of ground-including a
spring or watering place-sheltered by woods
or hill from the prevailing cold winds-soil
not liable to become muddy, and sufficiently
inclined to carry of the water-eompletn
the whole with shed or shelter Of some
kind, as cheap and rough as you please-but
III any event shelter to protect your sheep
and hay while being fed. In reference to
ewes with lambs, this plan must be somewhat
modified.

Flowing and PlOwS.

1t is all mistake that anybody or every
body can pillow, who can hold pillow or drive
a team. 1t is quite an art to correctly gauge
a pillow to run to the proper depth and even,
also, to strike out perfectly straight iurrow ;
to say that it will be all right and straight
when the land is finished is not true; there
will be wider furrow slices in one part and
narrower ones in another, and considerable
will be "cut and covered" Many farmers
always commence the first furrow on the out.
side Of the field Of it be square) and thus
pile up the best soil in great ridges near the
fences, whore everything it docs produce will
be in part or as a whole destroyed--if it be
small grain, by the reaper; if corn or hoed
crops, by turning the horses upon it, while
cultyating; and, besides, leaving great
dead furrow in the center Of the field, where
nothing can grow, and where it proves a per-
feet trap for breaking reaper or mower
If the land you wish to pillow is naturally
drained and rolling, the object should be to
keep it as level as possible; commencing to
pillow on the outside at one time and on the
inside next, avoiding to make deep. dead
furrow anywhere. If, on the other hand,
your land is very level, and naturally but i'm
perfectly drained, it may be necessary to pillow
into lands say two rods wide, and open dead
iurrow to draw off as much of the surplus
water as can possibly be done by this mode.
In order to accomplish this last-named pur-
pose you should always strike perfectly
straight furrow aud then back furrow until
your land is finished The next blowing
commence IN the fnrrow and throw the land
back in the same manner.

Minor Farm CrOpS.

MINOR fAfm drops.
Besides the ordinary and staple crops which
the farmer grows, there are some minor ones
to which attention should be paid, aud which
will considerably augment the profits of busi-
ness if properly cultivated. Their import
ance lies in their relation to the other prod
ucts and operations Of the farm, which they
extend and complete A system Of mixed
hosbaudry is best adapted to their introduce
ton, aud derives from them the most benefit
In planning for the various standard crops,
therefore, these minor ones should not be
overlooked and upon them we will offer a
few suggestions
! 4 small area of land devoted to roots, will
afford a large amount Of food in proportion
to the labor and land required, the quality of
which is of great value--almost ndispcnsa-
be--in its hcathfhl and fattcning effect on
stock. The cost Of keeping horse Teams
which is large, may be greatly reduced, and
/ their health and vigor promoted at the same
time by supply of carrots for their food
Sugar bccts or mangcl wurtzels, are equally
valuable for COWS and turnips for sheep
Farmers as class, dislike to "putter" with
I these crops, but when man once gets in the
way Of growing a supply he rarely abandons
it, the greatest difficulty is in getting start
ed. For growing the long roots, as carrots
or beets a very good way is to set off and
keep patch for that especial purpose. In
that case it is likely to be better prepared and
cultivated than IT. its location be changed year.
ly besides, it there is field especially for
the roots very likely they will be grown each
year, whereas, if the plan is to raise them in
field with some other crop, none but the
most thorough farmers, aud they are not in
the majority, would carry it ont every year.
One acre devoted to the culture of the long
roots, may be made to furnish q tocrable sup
ply for the wants Of the horses and COWS of
an ordinary hundrcd-acrc farm. And there
will be some to spare to the breeding sows
and store pigs, which will devour them gree
Oily. This acre should be of rich soil we
should prefer clay to gravel, and clay and
sand loan would be best II should be work
ed very deep with subsoil pillow and made
dry then it should be MANFRED The culii-
walton ought TO be- fifteen TO twenty inches in
depth. In this way, although only one acre
is planted, yet nutriment and growth equal
to two or three as ordinarily cultivated. are
got. \ yield of ten or twelve hundred bush
els annually will result, and perhaps the far
mcr will learn such lesson about the effects
Of high culture as will benefit him to the ex-
tent Of thousands of dollars in other branches
