How TO WASH WooL.-The fol-
lowing recipe for washing wool will
doubtless be Of interest to many of
our readers. 1t is from an outhori-
tative source, and merits trial:
Take one ounce borax, one ounce
carbonate Of amonia, one pound and a
quarter of sal soda, two and half
pounds or salt. Then fill your kettle
two thirds full of the liquid, and heat
it until GU can barely hold your hand
in it, and keep it at that temperature,
Put in three or four pounds of wool,
and let it remain from ten to fifteen
minutes. Then skim it out with n
stick, letting the liquor run back into
the kettle. Then put it in tub and
rincc with two or three waters till
clean. Fill up the kettle as before
until you have your wool washed
Then PIT to dry. Handle the wool
with stick, both in the kettle and
the tub, if you want to have it III
good condition, and not with your
hands.

Sheep and Raising Grain.


"ncnea'h the tread Of sheep there's gold,
Which shortly turns to fertile mould.h
The preponderating, the undispu-
ted testimony of many of the most
successful farmers Of Great Britain
is, that farming, though now proiita-
bic, could not remain so in many To-
caltities without sheep. Beneath
their "golden hoofs" we see the
fields of Great Britain, after centuries
OF cultivation, rivaling in productions
of wheat, and cxcelling in their yield
of grasses the fertile prairio land of
our own and other Western States.
There is an old Spanish provcrb to
the effect that "gold springs up where
the foot of the sheep trod." This is
literally true as applied to the wealth
that lies hidden and undevel)ped in
the soil. As source of great fertil-
ity to land sheep are unrivalled among
the domestic animals, Blest as we
arc with virgin soil Of unsurpassed
fertility, we should constantly keep in
mind the fact that it is not incxhausri-
bic; and the sooner We give heed to
this fact aud learn to diversity our in
dustry so as'to preserve in our soil IFS
original fertility, the better for Il G
most of this generation, and all of
the unborn millions that, after it, re

the bosom of our vast prairics, al d

upon every farm, in connection with
the raising of grain crops. They oc-

Why Do Animals Need Salt.

Prof. James Il. johnson, Of Scot
land, says: .
Upwards of half the saline mat
ter of blood OF per cent? consists Of
common salt, and this is partly dis
charged every day through the skin
and kidneys, the necessity Of contin-
uod supplies of it to the healthy body
becomes sufficiently obvious. The
bile also contains soda Gone Of the in
gradients of salt) as special and in
dispcnsablc constituent, and so do all
the cartilages Of the body. Stint the
supply Of salt, therefore, and neither
will the bile be able properly to assist
digestion, nor the cartilages to be
built up again as fast as they natural
ly waste" 1t is better to place salt
where stock can have free access to it
than to give it occasionally in large
quantities. They will help themselves
to what they need if allowed to do SC
at pleasure; otherwise, when they
become "salt hungry" they may take
moro than wholesome.

The Cubans lost about 900 officers and

Santa Lucia and Angel Castillo with the
Cubans, while it has sunk General LctO-
mas popularity with his fellow Spaniards
to many degrees below zero.
Escalantc arrested and shot five ex-

tona had given amnesty papers. lie

accused Lctona of selling the papers and
of making the amnesty business matter
of speculation. The Spaniards have re-
Gently shot a very prominent Cuban,
Don Antonio Rodriguez, and six moro
persons Of less note, accused of being
spies for the insurgents.
Those executions, together with Count
dc VaImascda's black flag proclamation
of April l4th., and Captain-Gcneral
Dulcc's confscation decree, have rem
dcrcd the insurgents desperate, and they
have replied to the Spanish orders for
fciting their lives and properties with a
declaration of war without quarter and
mercy. They have burned down the
mills and dependencies of three more SUI
gar estates, and fourteen coffee planta-
tions, and shot a number of Spaniards.
So far, no less than twenty-thrce sugar
estates and forty coffee plantations, the
properties of Spaniards, have been dcs-
troyed in tho district, which demon

Ceres in all her domain has nothing

wheat premium have amuscd-themselvcs
during the last few days making mathe-
NAUTICAL estimate of the exact yield OF an
acre. They haze counted the stalks in
given area, in various portions OF the
field; and, having obtained the number
Of stalks to the acre, have counted the
kernels in various heads, by which they
have figured out the number OF kernels
to the acre. There is nothing in the way
Of complete demonstration OF the yield,
but the size of the kernels. But taking
the average figures, ''laid down in the
books" they cypher out the most graft
flying results. The figures totally refuse
to show anything less than about fifty
bushels to the acre, while if the grains
should prove 'as large as they ought to
be-" the yield will run considerably
higher! Altogether, the rivalry among
the different contestants is interesting
DR.. Hamilton, Mr.. bancroft, and Mr..
Bloomfield are, We believe, the leading
competitors for the premium. Several
others are right after them.
