How 10 Manage Sheep Kept for Early
Lambs.

Mr.. Warren Leland, who has had large
experience in the matter discussed below,
favors us with the following notes of his
practical
Southdown is the best breed for early
lambs. Cotswold will do, but a cross with
tine-woolcd sheep Injuries the stock for
lambs and mutton. Ewes from two to four
years old are best, and if well kept will
average one and a half lambs Il year.
Bucks of the same age are the best; and
they should never be turned with sheep
that are the least of kin, as the lambs will
be less IN size and less vigorous at birth.
The flock should be in fine order during
the summer, and the bucks put with them,
say August list, SO that the lambs may be
dropped early in January. Up to the time
of lambing, the ewes want a good, dry,
warm yard, and a sheltered place at night.
In that way they will be protected from
dogs, as disturbance at that time by dogs,
even if the ewes are not injured, is a great
damage to them. They must be kept per-
fectly gentle, and treated with care and
kindness. They should be fed good hay
small quantity of cats and corn, and a
light feed of cut turnips or potatoes or
beets. Just before lambing, the eve must
be put in warm, dry stable, with windows
to the south, with plenty of litter. If the
weather is cold, they must be looked after
often, night and day; if not, the young
lamb may get chilled and die. After the
first day or two, there is no dangrr. The
root-feed must now be increased, with
liberal supply of oatmeal shorts The
lamb should be fed on fresh, warm milk
twice day, and oftener where there are
twins or the eve is short of milk. On
warm, pleasant days, let them have run
in the yard for an hour. By the time the
lambs are one or two weeks old, they will
begin to eat meal. If little brown sugar
is added to the meal it pays well, as it
induces Il great consumption, and adds very
much to their flesh. Lambs cared for in
this way will be ready for the butcher
the last of April or the first of May; and
in the large cities at that time they COM
mand much larger price than farmers are
generally aware Of Lambs should be
butchered on the farm, nicely packed in
large flat market baskets. Shipping alive
Injuries them i'll many cases, as they fall off
rapidly. Lambs turned off so early in the
season leaves the ewes to fatten during the
summer, so that they will be ready for
market or for early breeding the next sea-
son.
To give some idea of the profit of this
branch of farming, l will give the amount
my flock of fifty ewes produced:

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING YEAsT.-All
housckeerers who desire to make good
bread.havc only to follow the recipe given
below to secure the happy result. have
tested the matter and kn0ao that there is
no humbug; and all the extra trouble about
it is more than balanced by the superior
quality of the article produced:
Take two handfuls of hops, 3 pints of
water, potatoes, and boil them all until
the potatoes are soft; then pare them, mash
through cullendcr and strain the liquid.
Put it in your preserving kettle over the
fire, and add cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon
full of salt and one of ginger; add flour
enough to make it of the consistency of
paste, and boil five minutes, stirring it all
the time Turn out, and when partially
cool add half a pint of good yeast. Let
this stand till fermentation takes place, and
the job is done. In the winter | keep it in
a stone jar in the cellar; but in the summer
l dry it by mixing it with corn meal. and
spreading it OH the table exposed to the
air, mot sun.

Sevcnty-four lambs in all.

The wool will average say from four and
a half to five pounds, and, of course, sells
at the market price.
The value of sheep to enrich the farm is
thoroughly understood, and needs no COM
ments from me. The consumption of NUT
ton is on the increase in this country, but
is still far behind the consumption in Eng
land. The reason for this is that until
late date the fine-wooled sheep were the
only ones raised; but since the importation
of the Seuthdowns we have as fine mutton
as is produced in any country. A flock of
mutton sheep is convenience for a farmer,
as he can butcher fat sheep or lamb at
any season, and save his pork or his account
at the meat market. l think a pound of
mutton can be produced for two thirds the
cost of a pound of beef, and in much less
time. If farmers will give sheep more
attention, they will find their profits of
farming very much increased.

A Cool SURFACE FOR TREES AND VINES.
=. If a grower will take two rows of pear
trees, and mulch one and not the other, he
will find in fruiting time the mulchcd row
has both larger fruit, handsomer skins and
the leaves and branches are both healthy
and vigorous. In the other row, the soil is
heated by the rays of the sun, warmth is
stronger than the moisture necessary to
supply the growing needs of the roots, and
the tree is scorched or withered-Nature
is our best guide-observe all trees in all
places; a natural layer of leaves gathers
gradually on the ground and protects the
roots against the hot suns of summer and
the heavy frosts of winter. $50 somebody
writes and in the main correctly. Our own
experience confirms what he says, and this
is perhaps the reason why all fruit trees
when once we'll established, do better in
in graas than in cultivated fields.

BURNS AND SCALDs.-A correspondent
of the Rural Ne,o Yorker offers this remedy
for these accidents" The most efficacious
remedy l ever tried was to apply common
starch, just moistened with cold water,
and spread ON cloth to effectually cover
the wounded part. A little girl who was
badly scalded, was instantly freed from
pain by the above remedy. Keep the
starch mostened, and in few hours the
inflammation will he gone, leaving the scald-
ed part perfectly white. After the inf1a-
nation is out, apply a linen cloth dipped
in sweet oil. 1t is speedy cure.'

raised nearly tifty-seven bushels of wheat
on an acre of ground, and this is the way
in which he did it:
In the first place, the land was thin

succeeded i'll making seventeen bushels of

Upon this he spread broaccast six two
horse wagon-loads of well-rotted stable
manure, which was turned under by a cross
blowing with the same pillow. Upon this
he Sowcd broadcast two hundred and fifty
pounds of dissolved be,e, which was har-
rowed i'll with a two-horse revolving harrow.

it with Il heavy brush, dragged over it by

pounds of ammoniated phosphate. Late
