spot has been added to the number
OF rlccs thus strangely visited.
These spots Of ground, from fifteen to
thirty feet in diameter, are Mi Of

each Instance occupied hy peach trees.
o1her peach orchards in the neigh
borho0d, and other portions Of those
named, have been visited by the citi-
ZcnS of the place to SEQ whether this
raco'ar tree had nn; tl;n, to do with
this phenomenon, but they discovered
nothing strange among the other peach
trees. visited all Of the spots on

unusual except that the ground had

Those facts can be suhstantiatcd hy

Rules for the Care of Sheep.

We copy the following suggestion
about sheep from a circular issued
by Il. &. ID. Mckay, the General
Agent of the American Emigrant
Company. The Company have al
ready over 10000 sheep scattered
among the farmers who purchased
land from them, in focks ranging in
size from fifty to two hundred head
/. Keep sheep dry under foot with
litter. This is eve more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mud or snow.
,. Take lamb bucks early in the
summer, and keep them until De-
rcmhcr first following, when they
may DC turned out.
3. Drop oi take out the lowest bars
rs the sheep enter or leave yard,
thus saving broken limbs.
4. Count every day.
5. Begin granting with the greatest
care, and use the smallest quantity al
first.
6. If eve loses her lamb, milk
her daily for u few days, and mix a
little alum with her salt.
I. Let no hogs eat with the sheep,
by any means, in the spring.
s. Give the lambs a little mill feed
in time of weaning.
8. Never irrghtcn sheep if possible
to avoid il.
10. Sow rye for weak ones in cold
weather, if You can.
II. IL any sheep is hurt, catch it
ut once aud wash the wound, and if
it is ny time, apply spirits of tuipcn-
tine daily, and always wash with
something healing. II a limb is bro
ken, bind it with %splintcrs looscning
as the limb swells.
ID. Keep a number of good bells ON
the sheep.
II. DO not let The sheep spoil wool
with chail or burrs.
ID. Cut tag-lOcks in early spring
&c. For scours, give puiycri2ed
alum in wheat bran: prevent by
taking great are IN changing dry
for green food.
II. Ii one is lame, examine the
foot, clean out between the hoofs,
pare the boot If unsOnnd, and apply
tobacco with blue virrol boiled in a
