Jarrn, ©ardfn&Ttmtscltoll EARLY SHEEP SHEARING. No real lover of his flock drives his sheep to the washing without a feeling akin to re morse. He would not do it were it not that he belteves the market demands wool washed on the back. Though it is true that washed wools sell more readily, yet in times like these where any and all wools are quickly ta ken up, an opportunity for reform is offered which ought not to be overlooked. Sheep which are to be washed ought not to be shear ed before settled warm weather. In many seasons this will not come before the last of June. They are then in much less danger of taking cold and receiving permanent injury. They ought to be washed only in water which is so warm that the washer does not find it uncomfortable to stand in it with the sheep. The shock to the flock, of the immersion in cold water and being subsequently exposed to the raw winds —followed by being reduced" to a state of nakeduess, is sufficient cause to ac count for "snuffles," and prevalent lung dif ficulties. The rule in regard to washing is to wash as little as possible, but even this in volves the necessity of thoroughly wetting the entire fleece. It is a great object to have the sheep sheared "aa early as they can be, and fully a month may be gained if they are shorn without washing. The fleece starts better, the sheep seem actually benefitted, weakly ones of;en brighten up and do well, and all are in much better condition to bear the au tumnal storms which often come before the flocks are sufficiently clad to bear the change well. Contagious.dLseases are not {infrequent ly communicated by farmers using the same j washing pens with their neighbors, which may be avoided. If the sheep be shore unwashed, particular care should be taken to have them all well tagged, and all dirt removed which is not too thoroughly incorporated with the fleece. The discount of one third in price lor unwashed wool is not fair, yet the farmer may well sub mit to it for the advantage his flock gains, if it be a valuable i - knowing that like other abuses it will be corrected by time. Sheep should be shorn on smooth clean floors, by careful, humane, quick and experienced men. The cleanliness of the floor, the removal of dnng and straw brought in upon the feet, are important.— Amcricau Agriculturist. SELECTING SEED CORN. When seed corn has not been saved in au tumn, it should be selected from the crib with much care. Choose the long ears, with large kernels and small cob. Let every ear be broken in two, before shelling. If the pith j and cob be bright, the seed will vegetate; but if they appear to have been water-soaked and are dark-colored and somewhat mouldy; the vitality of the germs has been injured, if not entirely destroyed. Then with an ax cut off an inch of the top end of the ears selected, and all the irregular kernels at the large end. They can be cut off quicker than shelled off. The small kernels on the tip, and irregular ones on the butt of the ear will not produce as much, nor as handsome grain as those that grow in the middle of the cob. By con tinning to plant the small kernels of the little end of ears, for a few years in succession, the ears will be shorter, and the kernels smaller; and the irregular kernels of the butt end will produce ears destitute of kernels in rows. The writer once planted irregular kernels for a few successive years, and the product was short, thick ears, the kernels of irregular form, not in rows, on large cobs. When seed corn is obtained from another part ot the country, it will usually ripen earlier when carrier south of the locality where it grew. A few miles, however, would make no per ceptible difference. The practice of some farmers in Central New York is, to obtain seed that grew near the shores of lakes and rivers, which had ripened ten to fourteen days before that grown on the upland. By this means thoir corn is usually fit to cut up a few days sooner than it would have been, if they had planted their own seed, and will of ten escape early frosts. — lb. HOW TO KILL SHEEP TICKS. I have recently been experimenting with coal oil for killing sheep ticks. I took a couple of ticks and dropped a little oil on two or three lambs that were tickv, opened the wool, and applied it to the ticks. After several days I examined them, and found the vermin that were touched with the oil dead. I then applied it to about twenty lambs with good results. Try it, fanners. Take a bottle and fill it with common coal oil used for bur ning ; after putting in the cork, make a hole in it, and introduce a quill, and open the wool and wherever the ticks are found squirt it in. The ticks will die, and the wool and sheep be improved. This is my experience. Try it. TRAINING DOGS. In the course of some conversation in rela tion to dogs, Gov. Anderson, of Ohio, related a Texan practice in training dogs with sheep: "A pup is taken from its mother before its eyes are opened, and put with an ewe to suck le. After a few times the ewe becomes rec onciled to the pup, which follows her like a lamb, grows up among and remains with the flock, and no wolf, man, or strange dog, can come near the sheep ; and the dog will bring the flock to the fold regularly at 7£ o'clock, if yon habitually feed him at that hour. HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS. Boil it in salt and water. When young, it will cook sufficiently in lo or 20 minutes. Toast white bread and dip it into the water the asparagus has boiled in. Lay the toast into the dish, and the asparagus on top of it, adding a little butter to each as you proceed. Such a dish, with some trifling accompani ments, will make an excellent dinner, three or four times a week. A CAT HINT. When a eat is seen to catch a chicken, tie it round her neck, and make her wear it two or three dayi. Fasten it securely, for she will make incredible efforts to get rid of it Be firm for that time, and the cat is cured—she will never again desire to touch a bird. This is what we do with our own cats, and what we recommend to our neighbors; and when they try the experiment, they and their pets are secure from reproach and danger hence forth.

SAMUEL DAVIS, Bedford, Pa. J. M. SHOEMAKER, " M D. W. Repp, a " " The property of this company is all owned in fee simple and is all paid for, and consists of the following tracte: Ist. That valuable island, known as the "Lower Stump Creek Island," containing 2 acres and 93 perches, situated in the Allegheny river, at the mouth of the Clarion river. On this island a derrick was erected in the spring of 1861, and an engine placed on the grounds, but the war breaking out, the parties sold off and enlisted. 2d. The "Upper Stump Creek Island," j, ate but a few rods above the lower island, con taining 4 acres and 20 perches, 4 acres of which are owned by this company, on which are erected a house, SD Ac. Neither of these islands is lia ble to v, and both are well protected by stone and trees against wiyhing. By preference to the map of Pennsylvania, it will be observed that the Clarion river empties into the Allegheny at a point due south from Oil Creek, and as oil is found at Fret-port, on this line further sooth, we have every reason to believe that these island? are in the very centre of the great oil belt of Pennsylva nia. Besides all this, they lie far below the coal measures. The company also owns 1 acre and 61 perches of land about 5J miles above the upper island, at the mouth of Ritchey Run, near the town of Em lenton, Venango Co., Pa., upon which is the cel ebrated Fox and Widel well, with new engine, derrick, building, Ac., Ac. )a ,and well bored to the depth of 420 feet. This well was tubed at 350 feet, and in a few hours pumping yielded about one barrel of oil, but the proprietors determined to sink it deeper, and the company will, as soon as possible, sink this weli if necessary to the depth of 1000 feet or more. The "Stump Islands Com pany" ownes the whole interest in well, fixtures and land, and "Development Fund" will be ainply sufficient to complete this well and gink others in the Islands. There is besides, room enough on the Ritchey Run traet for several more wellg. The property owned by this company is all practical boring territory, and persons acquainted with the lands along the Allegheny and other oil streams, will bear testimony that we have more practical boring surface than many of the 300 acre tracts contain. In addition to this, our basis will compare favor rably, with the large majority of Companies, whose Capital stock is five times as great. The services of an efficient Superintendent have been obtained, and the Directors are determined to prosecute operations vigorously. Persons desirous of securing a portion of the 21,000 shares of stock, must apply Jsoon, to Hon. S. L. Russell, Bedford Penn'a.; at whose office subscription books have been opened for the sale of Stocks, at SI.OO per share. Feb. 10, 1865. JpOUTZ'S CELEBRATE!* Horse au oduce.
