Hints to the Sheep Breeders.


be the chief dependence for profit
in sheep husbandry in future, and
wool will stand as an essential ad-
iunct which cannot be dispensed
with, 1t is wise to avoid the errors of
almost all the western men, as also
of all those initiated by young be-
ginners who are starting in different
States. They all look to wool as
the sole object in view, and ignore
the carcass. 1. one of them possess
es, say 1000 sheep, there will be SO
many wethers and so many ewes
that raise no lambs, that there may
not be 200 lambs raised, and in some
instances not 100. In fact, there
are numerous sheep owners who
have 1000 or 5000 sheep, and have
them cared tor by western men, and
although none are sold, there is lit
tie or no increase for the proprietor.
In all business pursuits quick re-
turns are of the greatest Importance.
In sheep husbandry there is COM
plete change necessary. In former
days slow growing breed of sheep,
that would bear to be knocked about
by older animals while it was young,
and would not die outright if treated
ever so negligently, was a necessity;
therefore the Merino grade became
the general native sheep. But now
a breed which will cut twice the
amount of wool, and weigh double
the weight in meat at fifteen months
old is required, and can be obtained
by cross from Cotswold, Leices-
ter, Oxforddown or other large NUT
ton breed.
BY growing crops that can be eat
en- fresh and green through the short
winter in the South, and also plant
ing such herbage as will start early
in the spring, so as to have a con-
tinuance of succulent food, the Sec
ond generation sired by large rams
will come to be three times the
weight at yearlings, if they are fed
and treated (as sheep in England)
by placing all the weathers by them
selves, and keeping them in one
continued thriving condition with
out the slightest check. A profess
ional shepherd, who has been bred
from little boy to the care of sheep,
and who can understand thoroughly
the way to prevent any disease from
attacking the flock, who can see at a
glance what ails any animal which
may be amiss, and is as much at
home and knows what to do in cas-
es of difficulty in weaving as a sur
geon in midwifery-is absolutely a
necessity with good, large, pros
porous flock of Sheep. Every farm
er in England has such man, and
if it is large farm, the owner of the
sheep rides around on horseback
and sees every animal, SO as to
watch its condition and order any
change of pasture desirable, and
which the shepherd may or may not
have noticed as requisite: A shep-
herd in England counts his flock
twice per day in addition to his
masters surveillance.
A system Of sheep husbandry con-
Quoted thus would lring in an annu-
al increase of nearly or about three
lambs from every two ewes on an
average, and the sales of mutton,
etc, occasioned by the quick returns
and the threefold weight, as we'll as
a much greater price per pound for
improved >.uality, would produce an
annual income Of an extraordinary
amount, compared with the slow
growing dimlnutive varieties.

A POPULAR FALLACY.-The editor
presented a bill for eight years back
subscription. The old farmer was
at first amazed and then indignant.
He put on his spectacles, scrutinized
the bill, and after assuring himself
that it was genuine, he exclaimed:

nigh onto eight years and l never
had no such thing flung at me be-
fore. I'll stop supportin' it.'' He

Feeding Roots to Stock,

The constant and long continued
feeding of dry fodder to stock often
produces constipation and a general
debility of the digestive organs, fol-
lowed by diseases common to do
mestic animals; and the preva ence
of such diseases during the winter
months among cattle fed wholly
upon dry food is one of the strong
est arguments that could be offered
in favor of a mixed diet of roots and
dry fodder. Sudden changes from
soft succulent food to dry, or the re-
verse, are also injurious to the diges-
tive organs; and cattle taken in from
the pasture should receive rations of
roots for few weeks if no longer,
or until they become accustomed by
gradual diminution of the green food
to live upon the dry alone. The
same course should be pursued in
the spring, by supplying some kind
of green or soft food for several
weeks before turning out to pasture.
The better system is to have roots
enough to give rations to them daily
throughout the entire winter, feed
ing more freely to cows giving milk
than to those that are dry. Sheep
may be wintered almost entirely on
roots and straw and come out in the
spring healthy and fat; but a little
care is sometimes necessary in feed
ing turnips, for if given to freely to
ewes with lamb, the large amount
of water in this root will sometimes
produce scours, and even produce
abortion.
The quantity of roots to be fed
daily to stock must vary in accord
ance with their nutritive properties.
For instance, the amount of nutri-
tive matter in 1000 pounds of the
common white turnip is only about
forty-two pounds, or a little over
four per cent. In the Swedish turn
ip it is about sixty-four,, while in the
mangel wurzel beet it is l3O, accord
ing to an analysis by Sir Humphry
Davy. The sugar beet contains con-
siderably more nutritive matter than
mangel, but the yield per acre is
somewhat less; consequently what is
gained in quality is lost in quantity.
Carrots and parsnips are still more
abundant in nutritive properties,
but more expensive, as they require
richer soil and greater care in cult
vation; but being worth more for
feeding than the larger kinds, they
may be considered equally profitable
to the farmer. Turnips are the
easiest to raise, and the least in
value of all the ordinary roots gen.
orally cultivated upon the farm; but
as they are far better than no roots,
we cannot urge too strongly their
cultivation to farmers who think
they have little time to devote to the
production Of such crops.

Congress Yesterday.

In the United States Senate yesterday,
Mr.. MaNey, from the committee on
postoffices and post roads, reported a bill
TO establish ocean mail steamship service
between the United States and Brazil.
1t is the same subsidy bill proposed by
Mr.. EiIstis. Mr.. Butler offered resolu-
ton providing for a commission of army
officers, to whom shall be referred all
matters relating to reform and reorgani-
zation of the army, to report on the first
day of the next regular session of Con-
gress. Mr.. Matthews spoke in favor of
his substitute for the rosumntion repeal
bill, which provides for the reissue of the
legal tenders redeemed, SO that the
amount of notes in circulation shall not
be reduced below $3.50 0,000,000.
In the House, the same filibustering
tactics were resorted to by the republic
cans which have characterized their pro-
ceedings throughout the week on Mr..
Potteris resolution for an investigation
into the alleged electoral frauds in Flo
rida and Louisiana. On motion to sec
ond the demand for the previous ques-
ton on the resolution they again refused
to vote, leaving the House without a
quorum. Further filibustering ensued
when a second vote was taken on the de-
mand for the previous question, the
democrats casting 1876 votes, the greatest
strength yet developed during the strug-
gle. Gen. Banks then proposed to sus-
pend action on the matter until Satur-
day, when it was understood the demo-
crats would have quorum, and to pro-
ceed with the appropriation bill, but this
Mr.. Potter declined unless the republi-
cans would agree to proceed to vote on
the question on Saturday, which Mr..
Banks said he could not pledge. The
motion to adjourn was then carried, yeas
14l, nays 116, the democrats voting in the
Affirmative, and lacking only five votes
of quorum.
