sheep Raising in New Mexico.

The business Of sheep raising is carried
on upon the most extensive scale in New
Mexico, but the animals, lneal descendants
of the Spanish merino, have greatly deteri-
GRATED. Where the pure.bred merino buck
shears from Is to 80 pounds of wool, the
small-framed in-and-n bred Mexican sheep
will yield only from l-2 to 1-2 pounds.
Their mutton, however, isipronounced the
finest on this continent. There are families
in New Mexico who own as many as 100000
of these sheep. The cost of herding is
small, as the Mexican herdsmen work for
almost nothing and three of these with
pony each will look after flock of 5000
shecp-assisted, Of course, by their dogs.
The wages and keep of the herdsmen will
not amount to more than twenty-five dollars
per month. Pasturagc can be had for moth
ing there being in New Mexico an area of
more than 100000 square miles, nearly all
of it covered with nutritious grasses No
provision for winter feed is required, as
stock can range throughout the year over
the vast uninhabitcd plains, finding every
where food and water. When the railroads
now in progress come to cross the Territory,
an immense impetus will be given to WOO.

cnterprising men to introduce pure-brcd
bucks for the improvement of the stock
Now, Mexican wool is the lowest grade in
the market, owing to the shortness of The
staple, the slovenly manner ofshcaring, and
the poor packing. All this will be changed
when adequate facilities for transportation
afford the people II profitable market for
their products. 1t is said that n single
cross of pure blood not only doubles the
yield of wool from the New Mexican sheep

A Wan Falls FIFTY Feet and Escapes
Alive

One of the most miraculous escapes that
has ever been chronicled, transpired at the
mill of the Hudson River Pulp Company at
Palmer Falls, n. Y. on Thursday, the I'd of
October. Darwin Cole, of Jessup's Landing,
and others were engaged in inserting new
crate, for the purpose of keeping logs from
running into the canal that feeds the mill.
He was handling piece of timber at the
time. A team was attached to one end of
the timber for the purpose of adjusting it
to its place. The driver started the team
prematurely, causing the timber to strike
and knock Cole into the water In an in
slant he was carried over the Falls, a dis
lance of fifty feet into the bulki cad of the
mill, from whence he was rescued. Strange
as it may seem, his injuries were slight, he
sustaining but few bruises.

The PROFITS OF THE NATIONAL BANKS.
AT the bingham Bank meeting, the other
day, Mr.. 7. II. Perkins of Boston made a
statement of the condition of the bank in
response to II stockholders inquiry, to the
effect that the $4,000 in bonds deposited
in Washington drew gold interest amount
ing TO $4,000 and allowed OF a circulation
of Sl26,000, from which another $4,000
could be counted on. The deposits amoun-
ted to SS5, 900, which would enable the bank
to discount some $4,000 at profit of
$4,000 or $4,000, making in all an income of
S25,0 900 with expenses estimated at some
$4,000. This would leave net profit on
a capital stock of $4,000, quite as large
as that now earned ON the present capital
stock of 5000 900, and of course greater
rate per cent. and with less taxation.

Training Colts.

For the last six years, saN a correspond
ent of the Prairie Fd8n'er, have been
haltering my colts when about one week
old, AMI when the mother is worked the
colt is tied by her side. | find many adj
vantages in beginning so soon with them,
among which are The colt is learned to
lead III a very few manifestation more
than fifteen. Being thus early handled,
they have no fear of being hurt when any
one comes near them. They learn to travel
on the road wothout fear of the vehicle be-
hind them or meeting others. There is no
danger of losing them or having them stop
on the road to cause you to go back after
them. Two or three times going back af-
ter colt will break one to lead by the side
of the mother.
When so trained they are ready to work
as soon as they are old enough. 1 have
two now that were no trouble to break.
All that they had TO learn was to pull.
They knew what was behind, and had DO
fear of being hurt, One harnessed with
out assistance, and drove seven miles and
back the first afternoon. Neither of these
colts has naturally the best of tempers, but
they are now avery pleasantteam TO driven

ness in all cases is necessary in training I
do not say 6redkiRg) colts and firmness
is quite as necessary. In early training a
young colt will very soon learn that man
is his master, and that he will not be hurt
if he is quiet. The colt learns little at a
time, too, and learns that little well, and
he never forgets it. In beginning with
colts old enough to work, they are expect
ed to learn too much at once. A colt should
not be expected to learn all he is to know
at one time, any more than boy should
learn all that is necessary for him to know
at one term of school. Try the plan of
leading the colt when the mother is at
work next spring.

Eggs for Matching should be chosen of
the fair average size usually laid by the
hen they are from, any unusually large or
small being rejected. Some hens lay i'm
mensely large eggs, andothers small ones.
A fat hen will always lay small eggs,
which can only produce small and weakly
chickens. Absolute size in eggs is, there
fore, of but little importarc Round,
short eggs are usually the best to select !;
very long eggs, especially if much pointed
at the small end, almost always breed
birds with some awkwardness in style of
carriage. Neither should rough-shelled
eggs be chosen; they usually show some
de- angement of the organs, and are often
sterile, Smooth-shelled eggs alone are
proper for Matching. 1t is a farce to sup
pose that the sex of n bird can be de-
termned by the shape of the egg.

The Next Farmers Convention.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: The Executive
Committee of the Farmers Convention of
East Tennessee, met in this city Monday,
present, o. p. Temple, President, and Rev.
c. Is. Lord, 5. d. Williams and David Lee,
G. w. Charlton being absent.
The 9th day of May, we are informed,
was fixed for the day of the next annual
meeting.
Inasmuch as very large attendance
of farmers is expected, probably as many
as one thousand, and as the Convention
will last three days, and as many most in
telligent farmers can poorly sustain the or.
binary expenses of our hotels for that
length of time, and a considerable sum OF
money will be needed to defray the Ordi-
nary expenses of the convention and to
pay for the printing the proceedings; it
was determined to suspend the selection
of the definite place of meeting until ii
could be ascertained how much money
will be raised by the citizens of KnoXvi lie
and whether or not, and how much, The
hotels and boarding houses will reduce
their rates of board during the convention;
and how many of the citizens are willing
to open their houses to delegates.
To ascertain these facts, 50 far as Knox
Vile was concerned, Peter Staub, J. II.
Head, j. b. HOXsie, John Cru2e and
Ambrose Gaines, were appointed COM
mittee on expenses, hospitality and recep-
ton.
Said committee is requested to report to
the President, at Knoxville, by the lst day
of March. 1t is supposed that it will take
from three to four hundred dollars to pay
the expenses.
There were several hundred delegates
present last year, and the result was a
splendid success. This year much larger
number will be present, it is believed, as
all who were here last year went away de-
lighted, as well as instructed.
What will our citizens do? Can they
not extend to the convention a magnifi-
cent hospitality? FARMERS.

InfaIllble Rules for Measuring Corn in the
Crib
Mt. HoREB, Tenn, Jan. l:

Mt. HoREB, Tenn, Jan. -, 1873
Editors Rural Sun: In your last weeks
paper / noticed an inquiry for a legal or
customary rule for measuring corn in the
crib or pen, If you will allow the space in
your more than valuable paper, would
beg to submit TO your readers the follow
ing, which is the most accurate rule / ever
used:
RULE I-Shuchcd COro-Measure the
length, width and depth of the crib in
inches, and multiply them together; take
one-half of thesproduct, and divide it by
2,150, and you have the bushels OF shelled
corn.
RULE II - Ua8Aucked Corn Multiply
the dimensions az in Rule / and then take
one shird of their product, and divide it by
2.l5O, and the result will be the number of
bushels shelled corn.
The rules have been often put to the
most critical tests 10y the most thorough as
well as the most practical mathematician,
and the people using them may rely on
their being accurately correct.

SaxiHis for i;0Tti5uiiuTists.

The following paragraphs are worthy OF
careful preservation among the most valued
rules that should govern a well regulated
farm:
l. When fruit trees occupy the ground
nothing else should, except very short
grass.
2. Fruitfulness and growth of the tree can
not be expected the same year.
8. There is no plum that the curculio will
not take, though any kind may sometimes
escape for year in one place.
4. Pear blight still puzzles the greatest
men. The best remedy known is to plant
two for every one that dies
5. If you don't know how to prune, Con
hire man from the other side OF the sea,
who knows less than you do.
6. Don't cut of a big lower limb unless
you are n renter and don't care what be-
comes of the tree when your time is out.
:. a tree with the limbs coming out mean
the ground is worth two trees trimmed up
five feet or four trees trimmed up ten feet,
and so on until they are not worth any
thing.
S. Trim down, not up.
.. Shorten in, not lengthen up.
10. If you had your arm cut of you would
feel it at your heart-a tree will not teel, but
rot to the heart.
II. When anybody tells you of garden.
er that understands all about horticulture
and agriculture, and can be hired, don't
believe a word of it, for there are none such
to be hired. Such q man can make more
than you can afford TO give him, and if he
has sense enough to understand the bust
ness, he Will also have sense enough tC
know this.

Too RAPID GROTH OF TREES INJURI-
oUs.-Reading of the dying off of hun.
dreds of peach, pear, apricot, nectarine and
plum trees in California without any APP
parent or known cause, reminds of what
all our best pomologists have repeatedly
asserted, viz: that an extra stimulated
growth and great fruitfulness while young
will cause early death to the tree. Cali
fOrnia fruit growers are already beginning
to realize the truth of this, and in record
ing it we caution fruit-growers everywhere
against too great a stimulating supply of
food to the orchard. A growth of one foot
or eighteen inches year, with good, deep
green foliage, is all that should be required
Such condition gives firm, healthy wood,
capable of enduring sudden changes Of
climate while the spongy, open texture
of wood grown from excessive stimulus of
plant food is readily injured by frost or
drOughts, and liable to every fungoid spo-
radio disease that may exist in the season.
