SHEEP RAISING IN VIRGINIA.
S. S. Bradford, President of the Pied
mont (Va.) Agricultural Society, in a
recent visit to Albemarle, gave the edi-
tor of the Jeffersonian the following
statement of his farm operations
After abiding to the damage done to
his property by the .. S. army during
the war, which reduced it to a condi-
ton worse than it was in 1851, when
he first entered upon it, he says:
"Now, however, his farm is in ex-
cellent condition, so that it is cultivated
with good profits; his sheep having
been the chief means of Improvement.
He owns eight hundred acres of land
which he uses for mixed husbandry.
At this time he has upon it twenty
head of horses, sixty head of cattle and
three hundred and fifty sheep. From
this flock of sheep he sold this year

Grange Meetings.

During the busy summer season
farmers are too busy to spend much
time in social gatherings, but in win
ter they have more time for reading
and for assembling together for mutual
benefit. Farmers clubs have been very
helpful to those connected with them
in many places, but these have mostly
been given up, and the grange move
ment has taken their place. In these
meetings there is an opportunity for
the discussion of various subjects
which are of great Importance to farm
ers and by the understanding of which
the business of farming may be greatly
improved. These discussions may take
the form of debate and persons be APP
pointed to speak on the opposite sides.
This method is thought to add interest
to the public discussion of question.
But better plan is to appoint few
members to lead in the discussion, each
one taking the view he thinks to be the
true one 1t will do no harm if the
speakers are all on the same side, for
one great object being to find out the
truth, ii is much better for speakers to
TO give their honest opinions than to
talk for the sake of argument. 1t il
doubtless an excellent practice for
young men who are preparing for the
profession of law, to drill themselves
in debating society where questions
are decided according to the skill of the
debalers rather than the merits of the
case. But farmers do not specially need
this practice. They do need however,
to put moro brains into their business,
and to be able both to know the best
methods of farming and to communi-
usually very modest about speaking in
public, and seldom allow their voices
to be heard in any public assembly.
But in the meetings of the order they
can feel at home, as ifin their own
ia antilles, since the public generally are
not allowed admittance. While this
feature of the organization is objection
able to many who do not belong to it,
it is beneficial TO the members, and
will serve to develop much talent
which would otherwise be kept in OBJ
security. The presence of ladies, too,
adds much to the interest of the meet
ings, and they should also have a part
in the discussions There are MANY
subjects connected with farming, such
as butter-making, cheese making, econ
Omy. health, etc, which the women
are quite as well capable Of discussing
as the men. For the development OF
feminine talent therefore, the grange
has peculiar advantages, and it is TO be
hoped that during the long winter up
on which we have entered, the mem
bers of the order will make good use OF
their opportunities.

Brewn Leghorns.

The Leghorns have high reputa-
ton as layers. OF these Italian fowls
the brown variety has recently become
very popular. 1t was introduced by
Mr.. F. j. Kinney of Worcester, Mass,
who bought the first trio that was i'm
ported in 1858 from on board ship in
Boston harbor. Since then Mr.. Kim
ney has made several importations
from Leghorn in Italy. The character
of these birds is the very best They
are yellow skinned, and excellent ia
BILE fowls, are extremely hardy and
enormous layers. Mr.. Kinney reports
that his hens lay on the average two
hundred and forty eggs in the year,
Pullsts Otter. begin to lay before they
ing during the whole winter. They
are gay plumaged and have become
very popular of late among fanciers,. as
they must soon become among farm
ers, If they have not become SO already.
They thrive in confinement well, and
Mr.. Kinney informs us that he has
raised thousand healthy birds in ten
yards only. A prominent English
poultry fancier is of the decided opln-
ion that this bird is the best of all our
American birds when size and product
of eggs is taken into consideration.
They are non settlers, which is great
advantage when eggs are the product
mainly desired. Mr. Kinney's Brown
Prince, noted premium bird, three
years old, weighs seven pounds. The
hen, signora, is eight years old, and
weighs six and quarter pounds. She
has laid in all 1880 eggs, and is still
laying as well as ever. This fact is re-
markable, and shows the value of this
breed. There is scarcely any stock on
the farm which is so poorly managed
as the poultry yet there is none that
may be made more productive. A
yield of two or three dozen eggs and a
brood of three or four chickens is gen.
orally considered fair seasons produc-
ton for hen. This is the consequences
OF keeping poor stock or neglccting
that which is better and capable of do
ing better with proper treatment.
Poultry may be improved 10y careful
breeding as well az pig or COW. An
infusion OF new blood should he pro-
cured every year ar two. and a bird OF
undoubted excellence should bs
bought. IL ARricultuist.

THE CREvRLINs GRAPE. Its loose,
unattractlve punches have prevented
tho trse merits of this grape from be-
ing generally appreciated. If not
adapted to market, il is one of the very
bost for family use. 1t is extremely
hardy. Some western cultivators have
found ii to endure winters better than
the Concord. In favor, the Crevellns
is sIualled by few. If grated on the
hardest sorts, such for example as the
Clinton, the lunches are often much
improved.
