while exerting little or no influence upon CONNER

certain directions, while in others it tends
to check the demand for goods. This
Is particularly the case when higher

probation OF gold or the depreciation Of currency.

Success with Sheen.

There have been indications for
some time, and from various quar-
tiers, that wool is going to advance
IN price. The demand appears to
be heavy in England, and this af-
fects our own market. We have
watched the sheep and wool bust
ness for twenty years, during which
time there were several panics,
sheep being butchered for their
pelts and tallow; but Immediately
after, prices rose, and then every
sheep was saved. Meanwhile, those
who kept on steadily, and sold at
the going prices, have done well;
while those who held wool over a
year or SO thereafter were well paid.
The truth is, there is no better bust,
ness year after year, than that Of
sheep husbandry, and for the rea-
son that the increase of our popula-
ton is so constant and great as to
keep up a steady demand for all
kinds of wooden fabrics. As it has
been in the past, so it is quite GER
tain to be in the future, and those
who have got sheep may safely get
more. But let not inexperienced
men rush in, for complete knowl
edge and constant attention is re-
quired. The best way to get
good flock of sheep is to raise them,
because there are but few chances
to buy such sheep as will pay to
keep, unless at a high price. He
who has good sheep knows it as
we'll as anybody else, and as gen
cral thing if he offers to sell sheep,
they will be culls. A beginner
should buy few good American
Merinos, say from twenty to fifty,
and if they arc really good-that is,
young and free from diseasc-thcre
is more increase and money in them
than in a flock of five hundred culls
old, scabby, aud otherwise unsound.
In fact, such sheep are not worth
the feed required to winter them,
and the best use to make of them is
to send them to the butcher. twill
take from three to five years to learn
the sheep business, and by that time
the flock should be Of respectable
size. We hardly know of an instance
of young men going blindly into
the business with five hundred head,
who have not lost their whole in
vestment.-M Y. Tribune.

Breeding Turkeys for Profit.

The Land and Water says:-No
kind Of poultry will yield a profit
unless they are attended to with
some degree Of common sense and
in business-like manner. The alb
solute rule has hitherto been for far
mers to consider poultry as the least
renumerative part of their farm
stock. Most of them know no rea-
son for saying so, but "they say So"
consequently they receive little or
no attention. We were lately at a
large farm where this was truly ex-
empIified. The pigs, 100 in number
were we'll housed, well Uttered down
and we'll fed; the cows, 81 in num-
Der, the same; and even the punkahs
worked by steam power, were con-
tinually tanning the poor beasts to
keep them cool and drive the flies
off; but the poor fowls especially
the turkeys, had not where to lay
their heads. Definitely, the poor
creatures invariably roasted upon
the iron hurdles near the back Of the
steam engine room, and the owner
said in reply to some questions as to
how many he had reared, ooh drat
the things! They are no use to any
one. wish the fox had the lot"
The commonsensc way to have turn
cd the turkey to good account
would be first to make proper
roosting and set of laying compart-
ments in large, perfectly dry cart
shed on the premises, abutting on to
an engine room which could have
been converted, at a small cost into
a most excellent house, and from its
contiguity to the warm room in ques-
ton it would have been most inval-
liable for such purpose, while the
carts could have been far better
provided for away from the warmth.
If the soil is tolerably dry and the
farm well drained turkeys may be
raised with considerable profit. The
hens lay freely and if properly at
tended to they lay early, which is
one Of the great secrets towards sue
cess, as the hens soon become
broody and ready to take their nest
of eggs. They are most exemplary
sitters and when once broody they
may be kept on sitting for four
months on any kind of eggs, and if
they are made to take proper exer-
else to find their food and water
twice day, they do not take any
harm from the continuous sitting;
Oh the contrary, nearly always come
off in better condition at the end of
the time than when first set to hatch.
The young arc not more difficult to
rear than other poultry. They must
not be allowed to become saturated
with rain too often while young,
(neither should any other poultry, |
and they must have an unlimited
supply Of fresh varied green food,
lettuce, dandelion leaves,
dock, young nettles and onion tops; !

and they must be entirely fed on soft
food for some weeks, very gradual
~ introducing whole grain, in small
portions for the first few months;
even when six months old they
should not have an entire meal of
hard grain, as their powers for
grinding their food are very limited
at first, and it is those persons who
force on the unground grain at
too early an age, to save themselves
little trouble that complain of the
delicacy of turkeys. Look at the
beautiful barley and maize meal,
and the fine and coarse food the far.
