Winter Management Of Sheep.

The method to be employed in fatten-
ing sheep for market depends somewhat
upon the kind of feed ed. Turnips de-
serve special notice IN his respect: Be-
cause they have no So Derior as food for
sheep, and because t cir cultivation is
good for the soil T e supply of food
they furnish is very La re, and the ground
is cleaned by them &c ally as well as by
oats or buckwheat- Fr fattening sheep,
however, they should be used alone, but
corn-meal, oil-cake, pc meal Or rye-meal
should be mixed with them, the latter in
very small quantities. Mixed in this way
they viii fatten sheep quicker than with
any other kind Of feed. From fifteen to
twenty pounds of white or purple strap
leaf turnlps day, and 1 think them
equal to Sweeds for httenfnp. With
this amount should be ed half a pound
of oil-cake, or one pound Of corn meal, one
pound of peas, or hall pound of rye
The tendency of rye is q bloat sheen. and
it should therefore be fei in small onanti.

NOTWITHSTANDING the great use made
of artificial manures in Great Britain. the
value Of the produce Of the yard Is not
overlooked. A late number of one of
England's best agricultural journals
speaks as follows ON the subjet: "The
produce of the farm yard Is 10 every
farmer the first and the chief asAstance.
The production and use Of farRryArd
dung is the foundation of all successful
farming. A very large proportion Of the
manure thus produced is employed for the
root crop. Its employment differs very
widely according to the nature of the soil
In some cases it is drawn upon the land
as soon as it is made, and plowed into the
soil without delay; in other instances It is
heaped in the field until spring tillages
are well advanced; while some adopt the
rule of drawing it fresh from the yard,
and putting it in bouts or ridges, rfady for
being at once covered up BY tie ridge
pillow. Each system has its advocates, and
there are circumstances under which each
may be preferable"

A Real Estate Incident.

Kansas City to invest his money. Like
all Eastern men he wanted d corner lot,

The price was high.
"But," said the buyer. az cannet build

"Well, the man who owns that lot will

To Cook Dried Beef.

Place the beef nicely shaved of, in q
frying pan, with butter enough to fry it,
let it fry until little Drowned, then
sprinkle in dry -four, as much as you
would take were you going to mix it with
water; let it brown, but take great care
not to burn it. When Drowned sufficient
ly, add cream or milk enough to make a
gravy; let it boil few moments, add a
little butter and pepper, and it is done. l
very frequently boil eggs and cut them up
lengthwise, and lay them around on the
meat after it is poured into the platter.
This makes very pretty and q very pal
atable dish, and with some nice mashed
potato, and sweet potatoes, and tomatoes
with sugar, and just a trif1e of vinegar
pourtd over them, I think we have very
gooa breakfast; sometimes make q dish
Of toast, too, but l find when We have
sweet potatoes that we do not use 50 much
four as without / think as we cannot
procure a variety which cities afford,
we should take as much pains as we
can conveniently with our food. Another
way cook dried beef is to cut up saus-
age in slices and fry until there is enough
fat tried out to fry the meat; then put in
the beef and proceed just as for frying in
butter, using water instead of milk or
cream for the gravy. This gives an ex-
cellent flavor unless sausage is disliked.

Fattening Hogs.

WHEN hogs are fairly on their way of
being fattened, receiving several times a
day all the food they can eat, the more
they can be made to eat the faster they
will fatten, and the more profit the farmer
will derive from the food given them and
consumed.
There was once strife in certain
neighborhood of good farmers as to who
should annually have the latest hog
Each one took pig of the same litter, SO
that they all started alike But somehow
it turned out that one certain man always
came outahead. This constant victory ex-
cited wonder and curiosity. But at last the
secret leaked out The successful farmer
was in the habit of giving his pig all that
it would eat, and then turning into his pen
another hungry pig, which, of course,
would commence feeding yociferously.
This would arouse into action the sluggish
appetite of the other pig, and he, too,
would turn in eating with eagerness, and
resolutely competing with the hungry pig
By this means the hog that was being
fattened was stuffed several times day to
repletion. m
There is another way by which hog
can be induced tn eat much more than he
otherwise would, and consequently be
made to lay on Fat very fast. Let a hog
be fed, for instance, all he will eat of corn
in the ear. Then fill his trough half full
with clean water, and strew into this
trough three or four quarts Of SHIELDED corn,
and It will be found that the hogs appe-
tite will come to him again, and this adj
ditional amount of food will also be con-
sumed.
It is generally the case that those hogs
which do not take on fat very rapidly are
poor eaters; and it is an object of impor-
lance worthy of the farmers attention to
make them full eaters. Everf fattening
hog, which is really thriving SATISFACTORY,
ly, win always denote that BY his peculiar
snuffling and difficult breathing just after
eating all that he will eat And perhaps
it will be found that even iscrub-hogs
about which so much complaint is made
for their shyness in taking on fat, can b
made to give much more satisfaction |
some effectual means are taken to maxi
them greater eaters-Echande.

The Use OF Salt.

The use of salt as fertilizer is not near
ly as much considered as we think its
value demands. 1t might be applied
every third or fourth year. 1t is the
usual practice to scatter the salt broadcast,
at the rate of four or five bushels to the
acre, after the grain has been put in.
Many farmers who have used it In this
manner have given their testimony that
their crop of wheat has been greatly in
creased, and the crop of weeds, bugs and
worms correspondingly diminished. If
this is so it is evident that salt performs
two important offices, while ordinary ma
nure performs but one. Many of our
readers, doubtless, have q small pasture in
which they keep COW and occasionally
turn horse. Many of these pastures
have coarse grasses growing in them,
while in other places the grass dries up in
them quickly on the approach of warm
and dry weather. All such pastures viii

grasses will entirely dlsappess II 9 harlow
