SHEEP ON Poor FARMs.-The impress
sion is very prevalent that sheep upon pas,
lures bite the grass so very close that they
ar, therefore of injury to the field, but it
is suggested that they can only bite close
where the pasture is short, and the pasture
is short only on farm that has been too
much exhausted, and that in such cases
there will be found an abundance of weeds,
brie s and brush in the fence corners and
sheep are the very best means by which
these pests can be eradicated. The 4n,rr-
lean Agricultural recommends. under such
circumstances, that farmer who has $40
or upwards in cash Tor credit for it, and
then let him borrow the amount, if he has
to pay one per cent. month for the use
of it, invest it in as many ewes, not older
than three years, as you can get for that
money. Put them in the summer in such
a field as we have desbribed, and give
them, in addition to what they can pick
up, pint of wheat bran and oat meal dali
'ly, with free access to water and salt.
They will first ego for" the briars and
clean them out; every portion of that field
will be trodden over and over again, and
the weeds will have no chance. Fold them
on that field during winter, and carry to
them feed sufficient to keep them thriving.
Get the use of good buck in season.
Southdown would be preferable, and in the
spring if you have luck, THAT means if you
give them proper attention and feed regu-
larly,) you will raise more lam than you
have ewes. The mon will be more than
doubled, and the wool and manure will
pay for their feed and interest. In the
spring you may put that field in corn with
the certainty of getting fifty per cent. in
crease of crop.

A Butter Question.

correspondent writes to the Journal Of
tie Farm:
The propriety Of washing butter to free
it from the butter ilk, seems to be ques-
ton still in dispute among dairymen.
Some of our best butter makers wash with
pure water and others do not. Some claim
that washing Injuries the butter, and others
assert that it does not.
L. B. Arnold, of New York, who is good
authority in all matters relating to either
cheese or butter, writes: "The idea that it
washes out the aroma of the butter, is more
fanciful than real, and certainly much less
injury is done to the texture by acashing out
the butter milk than by working it out"
At another times he writes, "When the
butter is taken from the churn it is thor
oughly 1cdshed in cool water before sailing.
However much washing butter may be con-
demned by others, it certainly works well
at the creameres."
We have always been in the practice of
drawing off the butter-milk and putting
cold water in its place, to "gather" the
butter with; we find it to save much labor
in the after working; we doubt whether it
Injuries the butter any. J. J. NJ.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied ard
decayed; but such as remain ca.l be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so fiat new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of touling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey Or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterlous substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Dairy Management.

DR.. Nichols, of the Boston Journal Of
Chemistry gives some very useful hints
relative to the management of dairy cows,
which are very timely at this inclemeDt
season. He says: "The extreme sensitive
ness of the mammary functions in COWS to
the influence Of cold, fatigue, excitement,
unpleasant odors, ETC., is indeed surprising.
We have been greatly interested in observ-
ing the effect of cold upon the milk secre-
tons as seen in the herd of cows upon the
farm. During the past summer, in the hot
days of July and August, the animals re-
sorted to the lake to drink. and after slak-
ing their thirst, they would wade into the
water and remain sometimes an hour or
two with the legs half immersed. This
habit, it was found, invariably diminished
the flow of milk at night, and in order to
learn the extent of the diminution, careful
observations were made. 1t was ascertain
ed that standing in the water an hour di
or ten quarts in herd of thirteen cows.
The loss was SO great that whenever they
resorted to the water they were driven
away to the pasture again at once. The
nature of the water supply, and the con-
veniences of access, are most important
points in the management Of mich cows.
A draught of ice cold water, taken by
COW in winter, cuts short the milk yield for
the day from one to two pints. The in
fluence of cold current Of air, and cold
drinking water upon cows in milk, is not
of transient nature; it extends for 4 long
er period than day or week. Many fine
animals are ruined by careless exposures
every year, and self-interest and feelings
OF humanity should prompt all COW owners
to keep diigent watch ever their welfare
and comfort. The right man in charge of
twenty cows, which have been badly man.
aged, will in one month raise the tactical
products so that the increased cash returns
will pay his wages. This is a statement
which has been verified more than once"

and on Thursday before Friday on which

her to leave him, he threatening her with
all sorts of things If she dared to trouble
him further.
She had remained in house on Degraw

morning when Goodrich got up she again
besought him not to cast her off He was

The Montpelier Smugglers.

As was stated in previous issue of the
GLOBE, there has beena system of smuggling
going on at Montpelier for some time past,
and arrests were made there on Monday
last, by Deputy United States Marshal
Falcy, the parties arrested being Messrs.
Mark French and w. b. Washburn, we'll
known citizens of that village, the former
being also known extensively in Boston in
connection with NJ. p. Courser, with whom
he was associated in business there some
years ago. They were brought before
United States Commissioner Gleason, and
bail fixed in Frenchs case at 81 800 and in
Washburn's at $1,000. The latter gave
bail while the former in default thereof
was lodged in Jail at Burlington Snug
gled goods worth 5000 were found in
Frenchs rooms. French and Washburn
are said to belong to well organized gang
of smugglers, who have been for several
years engaged in smuggling in large guam
titles of silks, laces, kid gloves, hardware
and general merchandise, and have up tc
the time of this arrest succeeded in battling
the efforts of the custom officers to detec
them. The whole matter will come before
the Grand Jury of the United States Dis
trict Court, at its session at Windsor, which
commences July 90.
