working Land Enough.

If it is not plowed wet, it cannot be
worked too much. | believe no case is
recorded where much stirring OF the soil
proved nurt. On the contrary, the
more it is worked the better. This seems
to be the testimony, but it is not generally
done. on account of the labor, and also on
account of "a doubt IN the case. But "there
must be limit" it will be said. The
limit is when the land is too rich. Keep
your Cultivator out OF your corntcld,
your hop yard, your potato patch, and
Your carrot and turnip field, and what
will DO your crops? You will have
weeds; or, if your land is poor, You will
have nothing " thout heat there can
be no growth; without moisture, it is the
same thing. The SOIL when stirred gets

it is stirred, the more it mixes the air
with il, heat and moisture iavoring the
chemical action necessary TO growth.
Hence dry dried soil produces moth

have the heat and the moisture not one,
but both. Ii your soil is deeply stirred,
all the better If deeply drained, still
better All this gives II chance, not only
for the air to penetrate, but the rain wa

dition, and stirring 1t mellOws il. Be not
afraid you will knock its life out by toss

HE WHEELING DAILY REGISTER, TUES
A COtswOld Cross.

From contribution by Mr.. Harris in
the current number of the american Ag-
ricuLtrist, we give the following extract
merely taking the liberty to 1talicize a
single sentence, which the reader should
perhaps be guarded from overlooking:
We weaned our lambs to-day, July
10th, and weighed them. The Oldest
were a pair OF twins" born February q.
The ram lamb weighed 80 pounds, and
the eve lamb "a pounds. They will be
twenty weeks old tomorrow. Ram
lamb born March =, 81 pounds. Twin
lambs born March 3, 81 and SO pounds.
The next Oldest were from eve that had
three lambs, born March 8. We raised
them all mothering one on Merino
eve. The three weighed II, 76 and ~
pounds-225 pounds in all, at months
and s days old.
| give the rest IN order.
The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1875-09-28
The following are the weight of the

These grades have all two and some Of
them three crosses of Cotswold blood
starting froma common Merino eve.
The following are the weights of three
ram lambs, from common Merino ewes
and full blooded Cotswold ram-S5
pounds, II pounds, 20 pounds.
There is common opinion that such
sheep degenerate after the first cross. 1t
is not SO in my experience; but in all
cases | used full blood Cotswold ram.
If cross tired or grade rams tcere uSsd, 1
hare no doubt tie lambs lcOisld degenerate.
Another point ought to be mentioned.
| should not Think of selecting full
blooded Mcrino ewes for the purpose OF
crossing with the Cotswold. The weak.
er the "prepotency" is in the eve, AMI
the stronger in the ram, the more will
the lambs take after the ram.
What we want in this section Is
combing WOOL good lambs for the
butcher, choice mutton. 1t is an easy
thing to get all three. Select flock OF
common McrinoS, or part Merino ewes.
Feed them well. Buy full-bloodci
long wooded ram-cither Cot:wOld, Lin
coin or Leicester Have the lambs come
in February or March. Feed ewes and
lambs rs well us YOU know how. Sell
the ram lambs to the butcher ut four
months old. Save the eve lambs and
when eighteen months old breed them
to "a full blooded long wooled ram, and
continue the process until you think it
desirable to resort to some other cross
such as Shropshire Down. Mark you,
am not recommending breeder of
choice Merinos to abandon that breed or
resort to crossing. Neither would |
recommend Il breeder of South Downs to
cross them with long woods. But to II
farmer who is not breeder of thor
oughbreds, and who wishes to keep
flock of sheep merely for wool, mutton
and lambs, the plan l have suggested
can be adopted with little expense, and
with every prospect OF success. But
let no one think he can raise this class
OF sheep unless he is prepared to feed
them better than most farmers feed
common Merino.
IL thought YOU could not get through
without bringing in that remark again,
sad the Deacon; "yOu have SAID that
dozen times, and yet You keep your
common Mcrino ewes running with the
Cutswold and grades. They all have
the same feed, and yet your MerinoS are
no better than the average" This is
true. Ny Merinos have precisely the
same food as the CotSwold and grades
but they probably do not eat so much.
OF 100 lbs. of food eaten by common
Merino, probably 80 lbs. is needed to
support the vital functions, and 10 lbs.
is used to produce wool, bones, flesh, etc.
But the same weight Of Cotswod and
grades will consume in the same time,
say l2O lbs. of food. If 90 lbs. is used
to support the vital functions there will
be- 30 lbs. left to produce wool bone,
flesh and fat, and if the MerIno gains
30 H.. year, the Cotswold ought to
gain 800 lbs and they will do it. One
fifth more food trebles the growth.

THE Augusta, Ga, correspondent of
the CorlGr-Journal says that money
matters are rapidly improving in all the
cotton towns OF the Southern States.
The planters are in better condition to
hold back their crop than at any period
since the war. Heretofore they have had
it so heavily mortgaged they were forced
to sell for whatever price offered, these
mortgages always maturing PRIOR 10 the
18th of October. This placed great
percentage on the market depressing ana
breaking it down to very low hsure'
Now, however, the planters are very
little. comparatively speaking, in debt,
for the good and sufficient reason that
thew swamped their factors until they
could get no more credit 1t is likely
that altogether, several hundred millions
will this season be added to the wealth
of the South.

The Democracy Fighting the Cod
Gamblers.
From the Pittsburg Post.

From the Pittsburg Post.
The gold gamblers of New York are
still rushing gold up to high figure.
This imposes sti'l heavier burdens on the
pcople, the premium on gold being added
to the retail price OF all imports, so that
the consumer has to pay 1t. Whenever
the importers are compelled 70 pay the
customs duties in gold, the gold gamblers
take advantage OF the occasion. If the
Government, instead OF diScredlting the
greenbacks by selling gold to the lmpor'
ters to pay the duties, would take por,
ton OF the duties in green backs, tins gold
gambling would at once be broken up,
and greenbacks and gold would come to
- nnr. The Democracy are lighting the
gold gamblers on this issue. During tins
month the Secretary Of the Treasury has
sold or will sell S5,OO0,0oO in gold, bring
ing some $4,000 premium, adding that
much to the peoples taxes for the month.
MIR Bristow sold s. 600, 600 gold for So
$50. 900 in greenbacks which he put INTO
the Treasury. The S5,0O00O0 in gold
comes back to the Treasury in the shape
ofcustumS dues. Atlhe end of the month
lhtrt j. the same goa III tHc IIthS"'y rs
at the beginning the only result OF the
transaction being to add S75O,0OO to the
peoples taxes. Now, if greenpacks are
good enough to pay for the Government
gold, are they not good enough to pay di-
rcctly into the Treasury for the customs
dues, instead Of going through the shaw
ing process? To sell 100000 Of gold
to the importers and then take it back
for customs does not add one cent to the
amount of gold in the Treasury. 1t sim
ply adds the premium to the people ; tax
Is. and thi, the Radical party does to The
extent OF $4,000 900 annually in the gold
sales. and which by discrediting the
rrecnbacks to the amount Of the premium,
makes gold gambling profitable and pos
