WisT LIBERTY, April 90.
ElItos In,elIls,lees!
A few days ago We stood upon Au emil.
nence commanding on extensive view Of
portions Of Brooke and Ohio counties.
1t was u genial spring morning. The
&rst rays Of sunlight were just tinging
with pearly whitsness the bEoWs OF the
eastern hill, while spread out like 4
map, before and around US, Was scene
Of loneliness unsurpassed BY any that
poet ever dreamed Of, Flowing almost
q. our feet, over alternate beds Of rock
and sand, were the nuruurlng waters Of
Buffalo Creek, winding their tortuous
course towards the Ohio. Not breath
OF air disturbed the gliItesing dew drops
which spsrkled upon the fresh green
fGondsge. 1t was scene With which

IF farmers who think poultry does not
pay, would give their feathered stock to
their sons and daughters, with permis-
sion to enjoy and own any profit that
might accrue from keeping them. they
would soon be convinced There is some
thing in it." There certainly is no more
health. promoting exercise than that af-
forded by caring for, or having the man
agement of flock of poultry, and if the
flock is one of any of the pure breeds
there is in addition to the exhilirating
influence, an enthusiasm that causes
what might otherwise be considered a
task, to become pleasure and there
fore profit and pleasure are combined.
A young lady in Bethel Pa, during the
year of 1874, kept Il strict account of all
expenditures for feed, etc. for her yard
of fowls, and at the regular market
prices for eggs and chickens, and she
cleared above all expenses $500, besides
having more stock on hand than she
started with. Is not this an incentive
sufficient to awaken an interest among
the numerous fair readers of the farm
ers in favor of gallinacious stock? 1t is
certainly worthy of emulation.-M Mary

cious, insect dePredators may injure
some, but it is barely possible that you
should suffer loss of all planted. The

In this latitude corn, oats, wheat, rye,
barley, potatoes, and tobacco are the
principal cultivated crops, Beans, sorgh-
UNI, broomcorn, and many other profta-
bic productions thrive equally as well as
the great staples, and many of them are
more profitable. The great point is al
ways to have something to sell. This di-
versifed system will keep those adopting
it we're busy; but if a farmer can afford to
raise any kind of a crop and do the work
himself, he can certainly afford to en-
ploy the labor that is now idle and seek
ing employment. Don't be afraid of
over production. 1t is very uncommon
thing in this country. Locally, we

cause. And yet with all these facts star
ing us in the face, there are so many
ether demands for capital, labor and en-
terprise in our country that we may con
tinue, no one can say how long, vast i'm
p0rters of the prime necessaries IF life.
Sheep are not only the most profitable
animals 10 pasture the cheap lands of the
vast plains Of the west and southwest,
but they are justly beginning to be an
absolute necessity of good farming, for
our choice grain growing soils where
wheat and clover seed, etc, are staples.
Sheep are more profitable on the soil
and high lands than the cow, and every
one knows sheep will enrich such lands
more rapidly than the COW or horse.
They are valuable 20 clear the land of
briars, they will effectualiy exterminate
blackberry and Danish the growth Of
many troublesome shrubs and weeds.
1 hey also exert direct influence in ban
ishing coarse, wild poor grass from their
pastures aud bring in swceter and more
nutritious ones.
Growing wool is peculiarly adapted to
the pecuniary means and circumstances
Of large proportion Of our farming pop
ulation. Their capital is mostly on land.
Hired help is costly, and good help is
hard to get. Sheep husbandry renders
all these clear lands profitable and pro-
ductive at less annual expense for labor
than any other branch Of farming. Sheep
increase rapidly, giving a great facility
to promptly improve inferior ones, and
stocking the farm more expeditiously,
with far less outlay than any other
stock
The mode and manner of handling
sheep with quite good success is readily
acquired. In no other domestic animal
is the hazard or loss by death so small.
1t is as hardy and healthy as other an
finals and, unlike other animals, if de-
Gently managed, can never die in debt
to the owner. Ifit dies at birth it has
consumed nothing; if it dies the first
Writer its wool Will pay for feed to the
time; if it lives to be sheared once it
brings the owner in debt to it, and if the
sheep lives and grows wool, and increases
in numbers, the debt naturally increases
until it dies.
Unlike the horse or steer, if they die
at two or three years of age, or the COW
before she brings forth her young, they
are almost total failure or loss.
