BOUSE Alfjy FARM\ sb eep Breeding and Management. While a well-maned flock pays n every season, affording ample pecuniary encouragement to its Lner to preserve a high standard of excellence, by the continual in fus j 0 u of new blood from the best grains in the county, there are yet vears exceptionally good, when the pillar breeder makes a large sum o “er the profits ordinarily gained, by the sudden increase in value of discription of stock. The present, year affords an example of | b is, quite striking enough to draw the attention ot all connected with husbandry, either as breeders, feed er dealers. The demand for sheep daring the past six months has been usually brisk, and prices have risen in a corresponding ratio, flow the breeders are making up their stocks for the ensuing season, it becomes actually difficult to pur chase any lot with the least preten tion 10 character without having to give a fancy price for it; and those who are fortunate enough to hold largely add very considerable to the receipts which might be fairly calcu lated on as the result oi capital judb ciously invested. In former years, when a run upon sheep occurred, the high prices were principally con ined to the best breeds, but of late a\\ descriptions have participated in the rise of value, from the shaggy mountaineer, requiring years to fatten, to the magnificent Cotswold or Southdown,whose native pastures are of the best grass, and whose ripe maturity is attained in the brief period of twelve months. The excellent milking properties of the poorer breeds of sheep, and the val uable offsprings they are thus ena bled to rear when crossed with a first-class ram, is the principal rea son fpr their gradually assuming a forward position in public estima tion, this coupled with the cheap rate at which, till now the ewes could be brought in. and the supe rior quality of the mutton when of the right age, has apparently kept up a continually increasing demand, Tyhioh has at length resulted in comparative scarcity, and very great increase in value. In choosing a flock of ewes to hold over for breeding purposes, there is cot, the slightest occasion for having tiiem superbly grand, faultless in symmetry, or even of extra large Mze, as a firmly-built, strong-loined compact ewe of but moderate bulk, while not being such a large con sumer of food, is in general a much Utter nurse than a big-boned one, a Mature in the character of a breed-, ing flock which can scarcely be over estimated, and which no rent paying farmer can afford to over look.

At present the run on the white-faced breeds is particularly noticable, the sums realized at recent sales for yearling rams of this variety being something extraordinary. To some extent this preference may be traced to tiie superior clip of wool which can be secured from the white-faced breeds, and the high value at which it now rates; but undoubtedly the prefection of form which breeders of this class of sheep have attained, and the great weights which they can be fed up at an early age, is the principal reason for the high position they now hold in the estimation of the public. If possible, rams should be purchased from a well-known flock, good wool and bone, which, while not coarse, is yet of sufficient strength to carry a heavy carcass. Bams over-fed, and so loaded with fat as to be incapable of follow ing the ewes with any . degree of activity,shoul<| be carefully avoided, as they are productive of much disappointment and very serious loss. Should it be considered desirable to breed crosses, purity of blood is quite as necessary by the sire as when the blood* is preserved un mixed, the first cross between two distinct breeds being invariably the most valuable. American Stock Journal, . , Decomposing: Action of Hamas Upon Every one who has studied the growth of plants must have come to the conclusion that it Is necessary to look beyond the gasses of the air and the carbonic acid, water of the ground to account for the power of vegetables to decompose many min eral substances. It is evident that some other acids come into play and exert a decisive influence. Herr Senet, of Eisenach, Gerraanyj has submitted the question to a long series of investigations and the con clusions at which he arrives are well worthy the attention of scientific men. The researches of Mr. Senet go far to comfirm the shrewd theory advanced by Henry Wurtz of New York, that the organic acids have played a much more important part in the formation of roclcs aud miner als than geologists have been in the habit of conceding. It is evident that plants, while living, are able, by the product of their growth, to act upon insoluble minerals and ap propriate certain constituents of their wants, and that, when the plant is dead, it can, during the process of decay, produce acids that either dissolve minerals or render them soluable. The whole question offers a fine field of research to the chemical geologist. Journal of Applied Chemistry. There is a certain satisfaction in worn-out land, but I am yearly more and more convinced that it pays better and gives much better satis faction to farm land that does not need reclaiming. There are few soils now so rich that they will not make more improvement and pay better returns for the same amount of labor and manure than an ex uasted and worthless one will. “The best first” is my motto. When the very best field of the farm has been so improved that it will not pay for more improving, then go to the next best; but land like a good plough, is more profitable with than poor land, and should enjoy the concentration of our best efforts. When it is so rich and in such good condition that further outlay will not materially benefit it, then move on to another field ; but don’t spend money and time in draining and clearing a swamp for the sake of a half crop, when the same expense will give a doable crop on better land.— George E.
