Governor Aliens Mission to Cinclnnat II.

Governor Allen spent Sunday in this city.
A curious rumOr was circulating on the
streets on Saturday, that his visit was made
for the purpose OF fixing up the school mat
ter with the dignitaries of the Catholic
Church. Democrats have become alarmed
at the opposition that has manifested itself
to the Catholic assault on the school system.
They know that the indorsement bv the
Democracy OF the Catholic position would
prove their certain ruin. But, on the other
hand, ruin is no less certain if the Democ
racy does not have the Catholic vote. 1t ia

management is apparent. If Governor
Allen did come to she city for the reason
rumor alleged, he was here on no fools

Yesterday the Enquirer proclaimed in
double-leaded type that the paramount
issue was to be the financial question. The

to his astonishment he found about one

utter desert. Houses and beautiful
plantations have been abandoned. and
the people watch the advance of desc

DRILL SOWING WHEAT.

Every years experience is in favor of
drilling wheat 1t shows more and
more that, as against sowing the seed
bioadcast it is economical in labor ard
in seed, and gives a better crop The
difference in labor is at least 81 90 an
acre, or the cost of two harrowings
after sowing, or one cultivating The
difference in seed is at least half a
bushel, or so cts, to $l.00 an acre, and
the difference in the crop is fully one
fourth, or upon fairly good soil six
bushels or nine dollars per acre. Eleven
dollars per acre upon ten acres, will more
than pay for the best drill made, which
will sow ten acres day. But if the
means of purchasing drill are not
available, and there are less than ten
acres Of wheat to be sown, it will yet
pay to hire drill, which may be done
from some neighbor, fortunate enough
to possess one, for SO cents per acre
We have not yet seen part of the
country, where a drill could not be pur-
chased or hired, and very few fields
upon which Il drill could not be used,
if the ground was properly prepared.
1t is one Of the greatest advantages
resulting from the use of machinery
upon farms, that it to a great extent
necessitates good farming At least
that it compeIs Improvements, and the
farmer who once enters upon the march
of improvement, rarely stops and never
turns back Thus when drill is used
for the first time, the farmer finds his
crooked fence in the way; his narrow
gates, or his awkward bars are incon-
venient, the brush and weeds around
his fence interfere, his poor plowing is
troublesome, the baulks and hard spots
that have been left, nuisance to him.
and the weeds, trash, rough clods, and
stones upon the surface, are severe tax
upon his patience. The next season
all these faults will be remedied, be-
cause discovering the proft'of the ma
chine, he is obliged to prepare for it's
use. This is like the entrance of light
into dark places, and number of things
that were never noticed or suspected
before, are now so conspicuouslv ap-
parent, that they cannot be any longer
left undone. The same is true as to the
use of the mower or the reaper, and
thus the money spent for any of these
needful machines, is repaid in more ways
than one.

PROFITS OF SHEEP.

A correspondent Of the Practical
Farmer" residing within twenty-five
miles of Philadelphia, states that one
of his most certain and reliable sources
of profits from year to year is keeping
sheep. When | first began farming,
twenty years ago, he writes, | depended
entirely on Southdowns. They have
always proved with me prolific breeders,
capital nurses, hardy and good feeders,
and nv Southdown mutton ranks in
the markets with "gilt-edge" butter. /
informed my regular customers when |
am going to have fine leg or loin of
pure Southdown, and they go off fast at
three to FIVE cents above the market
price In fact, Southdown mutton is
the best mutton in the world.
If Equality of meat was the only desid
eratum | would make no change, but
as coarser woods now bring the highest
price, and as perhaps, gain little in
weight, ,(of which l am not altogether
certain, but at least do not lose any,) |
have made one cross on my flock of 100
ewes with Cotswold. The best results

to keep them from my purposed one

will close with one remark: that
without a root crop of about 1000
bushels, l would not keep sheep. Not
that these are all fed to the sheep, as
cows and horses all are benefited by
them, but for sheep they are indispcn-

DEcAYINd LEAvEs-Although de-
cayed leaves are considered by many
agriculturists as containing fertilizing
qualities for the soil, an English writer
refutes the idea, believing that they do
more harm than good, especially on
heavy lands. Without animal manures
they contain very little nutritive quail
ties to enrich exhausted soils. When
rained upon they become a pasty mass,
which breeds worms and DESTROYING
insects, and draws nourishment from
the earth rather than adding it thereto.
Mixed in compost heaps with animal
manures, they are of some value, when
perfectly decayed; but otherwise the
writer above quoted discountenances
their use altogether, and advises that
they be raked together and burned in
orchards or gardens.

SHEEP BETTER THAN NEAT CATTLE.
One great advantage sheep have over
other stock is they never die of the con-
tagious diseases which they contract
They get the scab or foot-rot or some
thing else, and if unchecked it gets
them in bad condition, and would
ultimately, perhaps kill them. But the
very worst contagious diseases to which
sheep are subject give the owner ample
time to treat the affected animals, and
the diseases are generally of a charac-
ter which yield rapidly to treatment

feed them hundreds of bushels of corn

| have known farmers to be we'll nigh
ruined by the appearance of 8 conta-
gious disease of this character Sheep
are happily exempt from such rapid
and fearful mortality. Besides, when a
sheep dies-and they do die sometimes
its pelt is sufficient to pay for its
keeping from the last shearing to it's
death. 1t makes no difference when it
dies or what kills it, the sheep never
dies in debt.
