Sheep Rearing in the South.

The Southern States are rich in every
element Of material wealth. Thanks
to their sunny climate and the physical
features of their surface they far sur
pass in natural wealth the States Of the
Northern portion of the country. Able
to produce every valuable and desirable
commodity either for domestic use or
for sale which is grown in the North,
they are capable, by reason Of their
mild and genial climate, to add to their
products many important staples which
cannot be grown in the North and
further, in addition to this advantage,
their climate enables them to produce
much more easily, cheaply, and abund-
antly those fruits Of the soil which are
raised less easily and cheaply in the
North. But this favored condition IN
steal Of inuring to the advantage Of
the South has, on the contrary, been a
disadvantage TO it; for il has led to the
neglect Of important interests, and has
even. made the South dependent upon
the North for a large portion of its ne
cessaries Of life and means Of industry,
which it lacked enterprise and energy
to produce for itself Among the nu-
merous conspicuous instances Of neg
lected valuable but latent resources
might be mentioned the rearing and
keeping Of sheep for wool and mutton.
1t Is often the case when Il man or
community possesses some commanding
and greatly developed peculiarly or
gift, all other capabilities are neglected,
dwarfed, or left entirely uncultlvated,
and, of course, the man or the cOmmu-
nifty suffer materially from this mar
rowed field Of development. The man
becomes person Of one idea, which
controls and enslaves him, and the com
munity become bound to one industry
or one method Of employing their ener-
gies In this way the Southern States
have become known as "the cotton
States" but much to their own dlsad
vantage and injury. This is very APP
parent to an agriculturist who considers
every product of the field in relation TO
its effect upon the general fertility of
the soil and its capacity for raising 9TH
er crops. Thus, the agricultural ex-
pert considers the growing of root crops
in its relation to the feeding of ami
mails, and this leads to the consideration
of the production of manure, and this
again to the increased fertility of the
soil, or when considering the rearing
and feeding Of animals he considers the
questions of growing fodder and root
crops as inseperably connected with it. |
Or when considering the keeping of
sheep he is led to think of the many
ways in which this profitable industry
can be turned to the advantage of the
farmer indirectly, and thus the whole |
field of thought is opened to him on the |
instant.

Corn and Cotton Seed.

This is the age of high feeding. The
farmer who does not feed concentrated
foods literally is the one who does not
feed concentrated foods literally is the
one who fails of success. Recently a
buttermaker in Vermont, who made the
experiment of feeding grain bountifully
through the whole year, summer as we'll
as winter, gave as the result in four
distinct trials with different cows, that
the butter income on the high-fedanimals
was from s25 to $50 greater than from
those fed only in the ordinary way, and
was the net profit. Not only will the
high-fed cows produce more butter, but
it will be of a higher quality.
Again, poorer hay may be given when
corn meal and cotton seed meal are
used, making a combination much
cheaper than clear good hay.
For fesh-making- understanding
we suppose cotton seed meal to be the
best. 1t is certainly the cheapest, by
far at this time when both sell at sl.65
to s1.75 per bag. But Mr.. Lewes, OF
England believes that corn meal Is
quite as good as a feed merely. When
manure is not taken into account, corn
meal is undoubtedly best for batter.

An EXCELLENT washing Mixture.

Take three pints of hot water and
slice into it two and half pounds Of
common yellow bar soap and stir it up
over the fire till it is dissolved. Then
add two ounces of sal-soda, two ounces
of borax and a teaspoonful of spirits
of turpentine. Stir all together until
well mixed aud dissolved. Take it
from the fire and stir till quite thick,
then turn into pan or small tub and
when cold cut into bars When wash
ing dissolve large piece of it in a pint
of boiling water, then wiring out the
clothes that have been soaking all night
and put them into the boiler with cold
water Turn in the dissolved soap and
let the water become scalding hot. Take
them out and rinse in cold water, rubbing
off any spots that are seen wiring again
and rinse and blue and hang out to dry. 1t
saves a great deal of muscular strength,
and it will wash colored clothes as well
as white clothes and it is also good for
washing white paint. After this small
receipt is tried and found satisfactory
a much larger can be made by in
creasing the receipt four or eight
times, for the older the soap the better
it is.

A Horse in Bad Condition.

The treatment proper for a horse in
bad condition and whose blood is out Of
order is as follows: Give him pound
of epson salts, and the second day after
that give dose of one ounce of hypo-
sulphite of soda, with one dram OF
Peruvian bark, powdered. Continue
this every day for a month. In the
meantime feed a bran mash, with a
quart of linseed in it, cold, once day,
and give him good sound hay. The
horse will probably be all right in a
month. Groom him well, and wash the
heels that are dischGrging with soap
and water, and apply an ointment made
as follows: Four ounces of lard, one
ounce of turpentine, and one dram of
powdered verdigris, (acetate of copper, }
Immediately after rubbing the washed
part quite dry with soft cloth.

We have not been very friendly tt
the introduction of barbed wire fences
We have regarded it as the only really
cruel fence in use. But there are argu
ments in its favor, and so strong are
they that the material will be used and
largely increased from year to year.
1t is by far the cheapest fence in most
sections that can be employed, costing
only about one-half as much as boards
and posts. l. never aids in piling UP
snowdritts, for the snow sweeps through
as though it were no obstruction; II
never decays, and when rightly set is
not affected by frost. 1t costs buf little
for repairs it IS efectual, proving a
sufficient barrier to animals, large or
small, and especially to dogs that seek
the sheepfold or pasture. Railroads are
using it very FIRE ly, and the western
farmer, in the scarcity of timber, finds
it indispensable. When the maunfao-
turers satisfy the farmer that it is not
a dangerous fence it will be freely
used.

Ramoying Old PUtty,

Wick s Monthly reports the following
as a good German method to soften and
remove hard putty. Dissolve potash in
water, and add caustic or ffesh lime.
After time pour off the clear liquid
and bottle for use. Moistened with this,
putty quickly sofrens. Ut should be
added that the fresh lime makes the
potash intensely caustic, and it should
be kept from the fingers.)

Curing Hay.

The question of whether hay could
not be cured by other than the common
and often destructive method now in
vogue is being closely investigated by
the experts and farmers of England.
The old and original method was to
let the grass first get well ripened, then
cut it with the reaping hook or scythe,
turn it frequently with the fork TO dry
or ripen in the sun and the next day put
it in cocks. After a few days make the
whole into stacks or ricks. or put it in
the barn. @
After this came moving machines,
horse-rakes, tedders, self-lOading wagons
and hay-forks, and tackling for unload
ing and placing the hay in the barn or
ricks.
Under the first sys EN- there was often
heavy loss and always some injury from
exposing the grass so long to the
weather. which could not always be de-
p nded upon. Modern appliances h We
materially hasten d the process of get
ting the hay cured and in the barn, but
with continuous wet weather there is
still much risk that should if possible be
avoided. To overcome this trouble
many experiments are now under trial
with more o. less success. One method
proposed is to stack the grass while per-
fectly green, with considerable layers of
straw between layers of the grass, with
an open passage in the center of the
stack for the moisture to pass out. This
has not been discovered to prevent a
certain amount of mold forming on the
hay.
Machinery with drying apparatus at
tachment has been tried, but not sui1i-
GENTLY economical and expeditions to
L
should put their wits to work to COM
pass this subject, for it will neye do for
all time to let the hay crop, the most inn
portant one often on the farm, be en-
tirely at the mercy of a spell of bad
weather that is liable to come at the
time it is most hurtful - american
