' We hare; been interested, of. late,') in
locking over .the various reports of the
several Agricultural Societies and dis
cussions in other f places, in' regard to
sheep. There seems to Le an increasing
attention to this class of farm stock," and
inquiry in regard to the test";b.reeds for
mutton, as well as for wool.' ,.y .
For fine wool there can le but one
question ; the Spanish Merino, with its
varieties, bears the palm for this purpose.
For mutton purp osesthere is a wider
choice, and the opinions seem to be as
various in regard to their quality; as the
breeds are numerous. - -; - -
- In the discussions in regard to sheep
raising, which were had at one of -the
meetings of the New York Agricultural
Society, during their late Fair, Mr. Pet
titbone . of - Vermont, . speaking of fine
wool sheep, said he did; not like excess
ively gummy sheep, as they are not hardy
their ,wool being weu When the gum
begins to - run in the Sprfng, they want
blanketing. i - , '.! ' .
A writer in ihe .last number. of ;the
Rural Xew Ycrkerf over the signature of
"Steuben," takes up this subject, and ad
vances many ideas which, according- to
our limited experience, appear to be very
correct, and judicious. . We have not room
to publish his whole article,' whieh is long,
and must therefore content ourselves with
making an' abstract 3 from such parts ; as
suit our present object. r - ' -;
Quoting Mr. Pettitbone he says that
he (P) asserts that those sheep with ex
tremely greasy fleeces should .be discard
ed, as th'e'wool becomes 'cold, and the
sheep chilled. ; "Steuben."- agrees that
such gummy sheep are not hardy but tit
tributes this defect, not so much to the
wool becoming cold, as to the draft which
such an r excessive .secretion of greasa
makes upon the system, thereby, reducing
and weakening it. ' Such sheep, he says,
are unprofitable, as the fat inclines, too
much-to the outside. ..'Besides, such wool
is not profitable ' with the dealers; and
they dislike it. " 1 ' " ' '
, He thinks that an average of 4 12 lbs.'
of clean wool to the flqch, ought to satisfy
any reasonable breedi r. He once bought,
as a curiosity, the pTemiumle'ece taken
off at a Sheep Fair, which weighed 30
lb&.And 6 oz.; He had it cleaned for the
card, and its weight was reduced ,7;lbs.
12 oz. ; . ... ... I-
; He advises those who -are selecting
bucks, not to look' so. much for grease in
the-wool; .as to a compact, even, fine
wool. . : He ; also advises to shun bucks
that'have wrinkles" on their, bodies, as
they will be short-lived. Let. the shirt,
says he, fit snug to the body.a wrinkle or
two on the neck, and a good .flap across
the breast, are. well enough.-. See that
your sheep have a stocky' form a peach
blow -skin wool compact and long. par.
ticularly on the belly, and1 ceitainly - on
the legs, as lojv as the joints or. lower, -and
then, with good, sheds arid.. keeping,
ycu will find grease enough at shearing;
and they will, be 'pretty 'sure to have a
good constitution.'
His remarks in regard to crossing
large Leicester bucks with Merinos, are
correct, as we know from some attempts
we made several years ago in getting a
uniform mix with a Dishley buck aud
Merino ewes. This, he thinks, is getting
the "cart before 'the horse." The pro
cess should be reversed, by puttiug Mer
ino bucks to the large Leicester, or Cots
wold ewes; and his reasons for it are
these : The Leicester lamb, being large,
requires much more milk than the Meri
no, and with his Merino mother fs starv
ed for the want of a full stomach. The
consequence is, he grows up a stinted
sheep, covered with coarse wool ; while,
on the other hand, the Merino lamb re
quires a less amount of nourishment, but
gets from his -Leiceister mother a sur
plus, and he comes up strong and hearty,
and invariably with a finer, - better staple
of. 'wool than the. other cross. . .
After ; all. what .."Steuben"., (and his
mode is the best one)'and others say, in
regard tocrosring .Merinos and Leices
ters, it is; a hap-hazard business" for the
few first generations at any ratei 'Some
of the lambs will be Leicesters or cf the
coarse wool type, and others of the Mer-
tvDe. Ine arreat oDiect or sucn

et a Merino
fleece upon a Leicester body; or, m oth
er words to get a Merino sheep with its
beautifully fine staple, with the strong,
robust, capacious body of the coarser
breeds. This seems to.be "contrary to
Xatcr." The late Charles Vaughan cf
Hallowdl, experimented in this way sev
eral yeaTs, crossing the Dishley and Me
rino in various ways. He obtained some
finely formed animals, but they cciild not
he relied upon to produce -theif like. -Their
progeny would "cry. back,' as
breeders say some to one side and some
to the other. The nearest that any have
come to it are the French Merinos, so'
called, and these have not fleeces of su
perlative fineness of staple. . , , y

Ccrlns deer skins with the Iiairon.
The following is a recipe proposed by
the editor of the Irish Farmers Gazette :
, Steep' the skins in water and wash
them well till they are soft .and clean;
they are then scraped and thinned on the
fleshy side with a fleshing knifa, and.laid
in fermen'ed lcam for; a few days, after
which they are taken' out and washed. A
solution of salt and lime . is then made;
and the fleshy side rapidly and well rub
bed .with it, till the fleshy side is v: ell
bleached; after which make a paste to
the consistency'ef. honey, of the lime and
salt solution, by adding wheaten ficurand
yolks cf eggs, and spread this paste on
the fleshy . side; after jhis hey are
stretched, and dried, acd when dry rub
bed with pumice-stone. .-' . ) ; j
v The Pauline Grape. .
i This grape is beginning to create an
excitement among grape growers. :' Only
two months ago the "Field and Fireside"
said: "What is the Pauline grape V
We are not certain that we.. know a per
son that had ever seen a' person who has
seen the Pauline grape. At the. late Vine
Grower's Contention at Aiken Soith
Carolina, the . Pauline grape, was highly
appreciated fyr the table as well as . for
wine, so much even that vit is proper to
say a few words about it.
Its origin, like that of many others of
our native grapes, i3 rather mysterious.
It has for many years been raised in the
vineyard of Mr. Caradeuo and in that of
Dr. McDonald, who, however, never
could . recollect how or whence they ob
tained it. It. was, however, .too fine to
pass unnoticed and nameless through the
world, as it unquestionably is one cf our
very finest grapes jn the South.. . ;A few
grape-growers concluded to name it Pau
line in honor of .Mr. Caradeuc's daughter
and as a token how highly they appreci
ated the untiring efforts of Mr.-Caradeuc
in promoting the culture of the grape in
the South the perfect success of which
is now proved beyond a doubt. This was
in September. 1857, and it seems strange
indeed that distinguished horticulturists
should not have known it before now.
' In the catalogue of Mr. '; Redmond,
formerly ihe - proprietor of Fruitland
NurserYi a' correct description is given of
it in 1857, arid in copying it I can add
but a very liule : "This fine new South
ern grape may be briefly described a3 fol
lows : Bunches quite large, shouldered,
compact; berries cf medium size;- color
a dark brownish crimson, very transpa
rent before m&turiy not quite so. much
s3- when' fully ripe ; ;: flavor, exceedingly
sweet and juicy, with a thin skin ' and
no' pulp'; ' the most luscious of our native
grapes; leaves " large, scarcely lobed,
rough, of a yellowish tint, and somewhat
convex. Young branches and .leaves
have a peculiar rusty 'appearance which
renders it. easily recognized from: any
other; wood j red; with .large prominent
eyes, not disposed to rot. Makes a de
lightful Madeira-colored wine, and'tYAe.
bed hardy table - grape we have in the
South.?' : . . .
This grape has never been known to
rot. The skin is so thin that when over

We glean the following statistical data
concerning the - United Ssates, it3 agri
culture and manufactures, from ' a- very
able article by Mr. E. Dorrnoy, in the
Revue Conlemporaine, Irr 17S3, at the
period of the peace, the Utiited. States
only comprised 602,230 square miles; at
the present tune they extend over'a terri
tory of 2,S62,050 square miles, or nearly
double the extent of Europe, exclusive of
Russia. Out of a population of 3,400,000
males of the age of fifteen and upwards,
45 per Cent are agriculturists; ' while
those "engaged in "commerce, manufac
tures, trades, and mines, do not together
form more than 30 per cent.; 2 per cent,
are devoted to a seafaring life ; while the
army scarcely claims, more than one per
thousand. These proportions djffer wide
ly fiom those of Europesince in En
land not more than' 15 per cent, are agri
culturists; in France, 23 percent:;' and
in Belgium, -25 .per cent; -''The capital
engaged, in agriculture amounts in the
United States to 5,200 millions of dol
lars;, while "that ' employed in; other
branches of industry does not exceed
1,000 of dollars, Every year agriculture
adds 16,600,000 dollars to the wealth of
the- country, and in . the State of New
York alone, agriculturists pay four-fifths
of the taxes.1 In 1857, the total exports
from the United States amounted to 360,
000,000 dollars, of which sum agricultural
produce formed two-thirds, including cot
ton, which alone stood for one-third. In
the course of ten years the value cf these
exports had increased 70 . per cent. In
the United States the average cf a farm

2Isnasczicni of Cream in Cold
; Weatl:er.
' For some reason not yet known, cream
skimmed frcni milk in cold weather, doe3
not come to butter, when churned, so
quickly as'that frcrn' the same cow in
warm weather. Perhaps the pellicles,
which form the little sacs cf butter ia the
cream, are thicker, and tougher. There
are two methods of obviating this troutle
in a great degree. 1 One is, to set the pan
of ,milk on the stove, or in some warm
place as soon as strained, and let it re
main until quite warm some say, until a
bubbb or two rises, or until a skim cf
cream begins to form on the surface.
Another mode recommended, is to add a
table spoonful cf salt to a quart of cream
when it is skimmed. Cream thu3 pre
pared, will generally come to bulter in a
few minutes when churned. It is tho't
the salt acts upon the coating of the but
ter globules and make3 them tender, so
that they break readily when, beaten by
churning. Maine Farmer.

A correspondent of ' the New England
Farmer says:
: Twenty-three years ago I found I had
quite a lot of refuse shingles on hand,
both sappy and shakey, and I laid them
on the back kitchen and woodshed.
: I have just examined them, and think
they will last at least seven years longer.
The building has not leaked, to my
knowledge. -
I soaked these shingles in a very thin
whitewash made with brine ir.stead of
clear water. There has teen nothing
done to th:m since, although I have no
doubt that to have whitewashed, or serv
ed a coat of dry slaked lime or fine . salt
once in two or three years on them,
would -have been a great advantage to
them. Y '
, -As I shingle, differently from almost
any one else, I will give you my method,
and my reasons for it.
However Aide the shingles- maybe, I
do not a41o w the nails to be put more than
two inches apart. .-. t
. Reason. If. your shingles, are wet cr
green, and the wide ones are nailed at
the edges, the shingle must split, or one
of the nails draw when the shingle
shrinks. . If the shingle is dry . it . must
huff. or crowd the. nail out when it swells.
Thus your nails are kept in constant mo
tion' by every shrink or swell cf m the
shingle, till they are broken, pulled out,
or the shingle is split..
I do not want tne nails drove quite in,
or so as to sink' the head. .
Reason. The heads of the nails hold
up the buts of the next row of shingles,
and gives the air a free circulation.
', I lay all my shingles in whitewash. I
prefer brine for making it. , I line with
red chalk. I then' whitewash the last
course laid down to the line, ar.d after the
building is '.shingled I whitewash the
whole of the rocf.
. Reason. To make the shingle last
twice as lor:g a3 they would without the
whitewash, and I consider it much better
than'1 just whitewashing the roof 'after
fchinhng. ! '
Carpenters often object to shingling in
this way, as it is rather dirty work, and
declare they know it does not do any
good that it is just as good to white
wash after shingling, etc.. ,

- Its beauty, fragrance, easy culture, and
wonderful adaptation, have justly merited
for it the appellation of Domestic Flower.
It grows freely in almost any medium ca
pable cf retaining moisture, and will gen
erally produce as fine spikes of bloom,
when grown in sand, moss, of water, as
when planted in the richest compost.
Light, air, and moisture, are the neces
sary esspn'.ials to insure success. When
in growth, the Hyacinth should be placed
in the lightest possible situation, turned
daily, and, during mild weather, have
abundance of air. Extremes f temper
ature and draughts should . be carefully
avoided, aho close, hot situations, as here
the plant gels down, hence the cause of
long, weakly, ill-shaped stem3. , ,
Culture of the Hyacinth in Water.
When grown in glasses which is un
doubtedly the most el?gant and interest
ing system of our culture, use dark color
ed ones, as the roots instinctively shua
light. Place the bulb on the top of the
glass, which fill with pure rain, or soft
water, so as almost to touch . its base. -The
glassc.i should then be placed in a
perfectly dark, cool; but not damp situa
tion, and ia the course of three or four
weeks the bulbs will have sufilciently
rooted, and may be removed to the light.
In all cases, a flower-stand cr table close
to the window is the most desirable posi
tion: nevertheless, the Hyacinth may be
grown successively on the mantle-piece,
of cn the centre table of hhe room, pro
vided there , be - sufficient light. . The
Dutch have anoth3r very interesting mode
of culture; they taken flat dish,, either
crystal or porcelain, about the depth cf a
soup plate, and according to its size, place
3, 6, 0, or 12 " strong,; healthy bulbs, in
about half an inch of water. - In a few
days the roots begin to spread cut hori
zontally, cod so clasp each other that in
the course of a few weeks they , form a
natural support fcr the grocp. The bulls

In cold, and damp, this is not to be ex

sons depend on the state of the weather
and the condition cf the birds.' 'A poor
half starved hen car.net be expected ta
lav eggs. y
There ccem naturally two soasoi cf
the year when h:n3 lay early in spring
and afterward in summer indicating
that if .fowls were left to themselves they
would, like wild birds, produce two
broods in a year. A wild hen will lay
no more es than she can conveniently
cover, an i her periods fcr laying and in
cubaia will be fixed and regular. Not
so wuh the domestic hen, for feme Jay
every day, cr every other day for nine
months cut cf the twelve, and some vari
eties evince a desire to sit; while others
manifest tlm desire, seme at . one period,
and others at another period. Among a
flock of hens, these diversities will' show
themselves, and advantage may be taken
of them with benefit to their otvner.- J3.:t
they require as a condition, that they ba .
well provided with warm, dry, comfort
able lodging, clean apartments, plenty cf
food; such as boiled potatoes, miched
and given to them warm, corn, barley,
buckwheat, cats, and occasionally animal
food. In summer, they get their sujy
in the form cf worms and insects, when
suffered to run at large. It will be found
that the fecundity cf the hen will be in
creased according to the supply cf ani:aai
food furnished.
It is we'll known that her.3 are modest
birds, and seek privacy while the symp
toms of approaching egg-labor are strong
upon them. ' It 13 thought by many that
the production of eggs is like the yield
ing of milk ia a cow, somewhat under
the control of the creature; so it becomes
us to add every inducement to stimulata
the instincts of nature; and coax a fowl to
prolificacy by consulting their taste3 and
whims by making their nests as secret a3
possible.
Hens moult, and cast their feathers
once every year, generally-commencing
ia August, and continuing until Novem
ber, and in some cases still later. It' is
the approach, the duration, and the con
sequences of this period which puts a' slop
to their laying. All tho period 'white it
lasts, the wasting of the nutritive juices
prepared for the Hood, fcr promoting the
growth of the feathers i3 considerable,
and' hence it Is no wonder there should
not remain substance enough' in the body
of the hen to cause her egg to grow. Old
hens, therefore, cannot always te depen
ded on for egg3 in winter, they scarcely
being in full feather before the middle of
December; and they probably may not
begin to lay till March or April. ; '
As pullets do not mcuit'the fir: year,
they commence laying before the el'er
hens, and by attending to the period of
hatching, eg-gs may be produced during
the year. An early brood cf chickens,
therefore, by being casefully. sheltered
frc ta cold and wet, will begin to iay in the
fall or early v inter.
-An ordinary breed cf hen?, well hous
ed, well fed and well cared fcr, will be cf
more profit to their owners than a like
number of neglected, half-starred biddies
who may come of the best laying tribe.
We have been abundantly .supplied
with fresh eggs, in winter, to settle our
coffee, from the African Pan tan hens,
when managed in accordance with what
we have recommended. We want to bj
told how to make hens hyfor everlasting.
