Profits of Sheep Feeding.

THINK we may estimate that for sheep
weighing about one hundred pounds it
takes about two pounds of hay per day, or
its equivalent, to keep the sheep alive and
healthy, without gaining anything in
weight. Give them one pound of corn
per day in addition, and good sheep
ought to gain two pounds per week in
live weight. The account with 100 sheep
will stand as follows:
100 sheep, 100 its. each, at $3.50 90
$50 bushels corn. at 30c. --............-.--- 80 90
500 90
100 sheep. 40 lbs. each at $3.50. $500 90
Manure from 10 tons clover hay, at s96i.... 90 10
- g. 5 tons corn, at S6.65. ......... 30 %
1851 Is
This shows a very fair profit. On
farms where there is plenty of good
wheat straw, the sheep can be wintered
at less cost. The profit does not come
from the increase of weight of sheep
so much as from the increase in
price, and provided the sheep are fat
enough in the spring to bring the highest
price, few pounds less tallOw on each
sheep will make little difference in the re-
sult-certainly nothing like as much diff
ference as that between the cost of hay
and straw. So far as the amount of
nutrition is concerned, corn at fifty cents
per bushel is far cheaper than hay at $1S
per ton. The most prevailing folly is in
wintering sheep on straw alone. A little
corn in addition to the straw will keep
the sheep in good health and vigor, and
pay better than most agricultural opera
tons with which l am acquainted.-J. S.

A WONDERFUL GuN.--The MiddIetoWn
IN. W Press gives IN account of rifle, in
vented by Mr.. M. L. A. Merriam, of most
extraordinary character. 1t sent ball
through forty-two inches of solid pine and
eight inches Of hemlock, and again through
eighteen inches of solid oak and nineteen
inches of solid pine. An interested specta-
tor was lumberman, who furnished the
material for the target on condition that he
should receive double price in case the eX-
periment failed, but nothing If II proved
success. He succeeded in losing his lumber.
Science has been proved to be a gamer. Ii
might be added that Mr.. Merriam says he
has sent ball with his rifle distance OF
over two miles. Lead balls cannot be used,
melting before they leave the barrel. The
missiles are octagon in form, and are made
of composition. The report is louder than
that of an ordinary gun, but the recoh Is not
heavy-in fact, this little cannon does not
"kick."
If such arms had been in use during the
war, trees would have been no protection to
the cowardly officers or prudent pockets.
Mr.. Merriam is also the inventor of other
valuable improvements in mechanical art.
He has patent on his gun, and has refused
$500 for this single piece. The secret OF its
power lies in the popularity of the powder
chamber, which is larger than the bore of
the barrel, which is three-eishths of an inch.
Its length is about twenty-five inches, and
the whole piece Is very light. The ball used
was conical one, and weighed 135 grains;
the powder, Hazards electric, and the charge
was 24O grains. The editor remarks that
this was done in the presence of number
of gentlemen, whose names are given, ana
that there was "no cheating" ttf!a%

HORACE GREELEY AS A PREsEST-TAKER.-
Perhaps no circumstance could more fitting
ly illustrate the difference between the char
acter of Mr.. Greeley and the present incum-
bent of the White House than the following
story, the truth Of which is youched for by
Mr.. John Sumner, a halter, doing business
in MYRTLE avenue, and from whom it was re-
ceived by an Eagle reporter.
In 1851 the hatters employed by Mr..
Genin, the Broadway HITTER str,tk for
higher wages, and being refused started an
independent hat shop OF their own, on the
cooperative principle, while Mr.. Gcnin en-
ploycd number Of men called "scalJs" by
the tradesmen to fill their places. An article
appeared in the Tribune endorsing the cause
of the men who struck, and on the following
day committee of men; Of which Mr.. Sum-
ncr was chairman, was appointed to wait on
Mr.. Greeley and thank him for his article.
The committee waited on him and per-
formed their nilsson, and while doing so one
of the members, unnoticed by Mr.. Greeley,
managed to get hold of his white hat and
take the size of it, and then took their leave.
4 few days afterward the same committee
came back with magnificent hat, the pro-
duction of the best workmen in the shop,
and putting it on the philosophers head as
he sat at his desk, asked him how he liked
it. Mr.. Greeley looked at himself in
the glass; looked at the hat; and declared
it the hest hat he had ever worn and now.
S,id lie, Gentlemen, what's your price
for this hat 2" The committee said they
didn't intend to charge him anything for the
hat, that it was intended as slight token OF
Gheir gratitude for his services in their cause.
" / can't accept the hat" said Mr.. Greeley.
turning TO his desk, "unless pay for it.
What did did for principle and not for
presents. If you will tell me how much
money the hat is worth, l would like TO take
it, for like the hat but if you don't do that,
you can take it away with you again." Cor
nered thus, the committee had no option but
TO name price for the hat, which they fixed
at S.. DIR. Greeley bought the hat at that
price, with evident satisfaction, and wore il
for several years afterwards. Brooklyn

alt is hardly nj Cyaggcration TO say that

ton Of Europe. 1t is no joke to remain
while everybody else is nying--to watch the
lava advancing all around tine little crest on
the side OF the mountain on which his obser-
vatory is placed, and there, as Wordsworth
says, 'to feel the pulse of the machine the
big monster of mechanical mechanism and
force that sends its throbs through the forln-
dations Of the building. and sllutcs its scien-
tific friend ever and anon with shower of
burning ashes and fiery stones. Indeed, the
Professors courage has done injustice to
another of his rare qualities, for it has thrown
into the shade his power of scientific provi-
sion. Fully mouth before the agreeable
showers of red-hot ashes saluted him in
his observatory he had discerned that
his Plutonic friends meditated mischief.
During the previous full moon he had
remarked in the Ai,io del Cdrdli0 that the
lava was boiling up. When the moon again
reached the full, the stream, which acts rs a
permanent wastc-pipe, pcrceptihly enlarged
its volume. IL overlooked anew the foot
path which visitors, in ascending and de-
sccnding. had worn in the old bed of lava.
By these Indications Professor Palmieri read
beforehand tue dangerous task which Vulcan
was preparing for him. With his life in his
hand, he established himself in the midst Of
a circle of cr:itcrs. Observing their eccen-
tricties as calmly as he might have watched
the harmless movements Of planet, he has
no doubt collected a mass of volcanic data
far exceeding In scientific value any that have
ever before been harvested on the sulphurous
soil of Vesuvius. Men have got the Legion
of Honor and the Victoria Cross for less con-
spicuous valor, and if the Professor would
only put on a red or blue coat and kill some
body off-hand he would probably be called
