Sheen on the Farm.

That sheep can save poor farms from utter
ruin, and improve the condition of good
farms, is beyond doubt. However much we
prize the horse and COW for valuable services
to mankind, still we must admit that the
keeping of sheep is very profitable to the
farmer, in that it brings money to his land.
Experience has shown that sheep husbandry
is directly profitable There are no losses
and very few risks to be met with in the bust
ness.
Early lambs, fat wethers, wool and pelts,
always bring good prices and find ready
market. Besides sheep bring up the condi-
ton of the farm, and ms the old adage has it,
"turns the earth to gold wherever their foot
prints are found" Nothing will improve Il
farm so well rs course ofhusbandry in sheep
well selected and jodiciousy followed. Sheep
can be made the salvation OF poor farm, and
ifmorc -four farmers would keep more sheep
larger share of prosperity would be the
result.

The utilization of horaes not fit to eat and

Salt, Sulphur and Charcoal for Pigs.

We have observed that when pigs are fed
a great deal of hearty food they are fond of
salt and charcoal Pigs are often affected
with Indigestion, and the salt and charcoal
are good remedies. We cannot very well
mix these things with their food in the right
proportion, and moreover it would not be
best to attempt to force Il pig to eat them UNI
less ii wanted to- or else its appetite be de-
stroyed and harm come from the experiment,
but by mixing the salt and charcoal together
and putting them in box accessible TO the
pigs they will eat no more than required
There is no danger in putting either salt,
charcoal or sulphur where the pigs can get
them, but to mix them in their food might
injure them, especially ifany one of them
should possess II voracious appetite. Hogs
will eut considerable quantity of sulphur
and it is exceedingly healthful to them as
purifier of the blood and to help them to get
rid of the vermin which intest their bodies
inside and out. We want the pigs we are
going to eat to have plenty OF sulphur, at
least all they will take. Their flesh makes
better food.-Rurdl Ne,c Yorker.

Care OF Harness.

Harness that has been on horses back
several hours in hot or rainy weather becomes
wet; ifnot properly cleaned the damage TO
the leather is irreparable, If, after being
taken from the horse in this condition, it is
hung up ina careless manner, traces and
reins twisted into knots, and the saddle and
bride hung askew, the leather when dried
retains the shape given it while wet, and
when forced to its original form damage is
done the stitching and the leather. The first
point to be observed is TO keep the leather
soft and pliable This can only he done by
keeping it well charged with oil and grease;
water is destroyer of these, but mud and
the saline moisture from the animal are even
more destructive. Mud, in drying, absorbs
the grease and opens the pores ofthc leather

leather will retain its soflncss and strength

The Story of n SiIO,

| constructed a silo for ensiage says B. A.
Avery. The slo is 20 feet long, ~ feet deep
and II feet wide, with Il second silo on the
side of this 30x12X12. had prepared speci-
ally for this purpose between II and 12 acres
of fodder corn, drilled, which was very thrift
ty, reaching, on an average, about 12 feet
high and very thick on the ground. On the
Sd of September | commenced cutting the
corn with one team, and hauling it the dis
lance of about so rods to the silo, where |
had a stationary steam engine and two Dan
iels cutters so arranged that it took six teams
constantly to supply material to the two ma
chimes, with two men at each. The stalks
were cut, on an average, into about half-inch
pieces, and dropped into the silo, and then
spread over the furface as evenly as possible.
The lengths were trampcd down by men and
boys the first day but, fearing that it was
not sufficiently packed, at the suggestion of
my friends put pair ofmules in the pit and
kept them constantly treading and packing
the corn as it was spread, until the work was
done in an entirely satisfactory manner, the
close sides and ends where the mules turned
having been trodden down by men as well as
it could be done.
After the silo was filled covered with
planks and weighted the covering heavily
with large boulders as the most convenient
source of pressure then obtainable. Some wise
men who think they know all about farm
ing, gave me 10 days, some more charitable,
gave me 30 days, to see tal rotted and fit for
the manure heap, as they say.
On the list of December last opened the
sio and commenced feeding my cows and
horses The food was fresh, green, with only
a slight alcoholic smell, and all my stock ate
it at once with the greatest avidity, and seem
ed to grow more fond of it the longer they
ate of it. There is none wasted, and all my
cows have averaged over quart of milk
more per day since the food was given them
after the third day, and am still looking for
even better yield. The cattle do excellent
ly well on it, and am well repaid for the
experiment after listening to all the croakings
of those who dare not step from the beaten
path, and can now laugh to Il good purpose
when ! see the increase Of milk of my herd
of so cows and witness their enjoyment of
the food which hope all farmers cows in a
few years will enjoy

How TO Treat Il Cold,

When you get chilly all over and away into
your bones, and begin to snitile and almost
struggle for your breath, just begin in time
and your tribulation need not last very long.
Get some powered borax and snuff the pow
der up your nostrils. Getyour camphor bot
tie and smell it frequently pour some on
your handkerchief and wipe your nose with
it whenever needed. Your nose will not get
sore, and you will wonder what has become
of your cold Begin this treatment in the
forenoon and keep on at intervals until you
go to bed, and you will sleep as well as you
purp.

An Old Story.

When Davy Crockett was in Washington
he was one day sitting in hotel tolsting his
shins when senator from Massachusetts
entered.
Approaching the old fronlicrsman the lat
ter said:
"Crockett, large procession of your con-
stitucnts arc marching up the street. You
ought to go out and greet them"
Crockett hurredly arose and went out
upon the hotel steps, when a large drove of
mules passing by caught his eye. He quietly
watched them until the last one had passed
and then returned to his seat by the stove.
The Massachusetts, senator was still there,
and as the Iedoubtable Davy dropped into
his chair, asked:
"Wcll, did you see your friends?"
ooh, yes" was the response.
"They look remarkably well, too"
Certainly, sir"
"And where are they going in such a solid
body?"
Crockett turned to the senator with n
quiet, calm expression, and replied:
'The blamed fools are all going down to
Massachusetts to teach school"
And they gazed moment into each others
faces and sadly walked up to exercise the
bar-keeper awhile.

st. SWithin's Day.

Next Friday, the 18th of July, will he St.
Swithin's Day, about which there is an adagc
that if it rains or is fair upon that day there
will be Il COntionOuS track of wet or dry
weather for the forty days ensuing.
st Swithin's Day, if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain
st. Swithin's Day. if thou be fair,
For forty days twill rain nae mair.
st. Swthn was Bishop of Winchester in
SG2, and was noted for his uprightness and
humility. So far did he carry the latter
quality, that on his death bed he requested
to be buried, not within the church, but out
side in the church yard, where his grave
might receive the eaves-droppings from the
roof and be troddcn by the feet ofthe passers-
by. His lowly request was complied with,
and in this neglected spot his remains rcpos.
ed for hundred years, when n fit of indigna-
ton seized the clergy at the body ofso pious
a member of their order being allowed TO
occupy such position Accordingly on n
certain fifteenth of July they all assembled TO
convey ST. Swithins body with great pomp
into the adjoining cathedral of Winchester.
When they were about To commence the
ceremony heavy rain burst forth, and con.
tmued without intermission for the forty sue
cccding days. The monks interpreted this
tempest as n warning from Heaven of the
mpious nature of their attempt to contravcne
the directions of st. Swithin. and instead of
disturbing his remains they erected n chapel
over them, at which many astounding mira
Giles are sa to have been performed From
this circumstance arose the popular belief
of the prophetic character of the W. ather on
st. Swithin's Day.
