WASHING SHEEP.
It may he for the interests of dealers ii
wool, and manufacturers, to have sheet
washed previous to shearing. But the wel
ware of the flocks and the mtereste of the
owners of valuable sheep, which are consid
erations of paramount importance to every
thing .else, are promoted by not washing.—
The farmers' only reason for washing sheet
is, that, if the wool bo thoroughly washed,
a man can shear a sheep sooner than if i
wore not washed. Sheep hate wet in every
fonn. They dislike wet pastures, wet yards
leaky sheds, and, more than all else, wet flee
ces. When they are washed, the water and
the weather are frequently quite cold, and
aa they often become uncomfortably warn;
while being driven to the water, and are
plunged immediately into it, and kept there
until quite chilled through : they are quite
liable to contract more or less cold, which
will many times superinduce some other dis
case. This is particularly true if the
weather continue wet and cold for several
successive days after washing. This is the
great argument against the practice of wash
ing sheep in our changeable climate. Eve
ry practice that endangers the health o!
sheep ought, if possible, to be abandoned,
and not be made subservient to ordinary pe
cuniary considerations.
Another thing against washing sheep, is,
that cleansing of wool in this manner is of
ten of little real advantage, and frequently
of none at all, as it often becomes quite at
dirty before shearing, as it was before the
sheep were washed. This is particularly
true when sheep are not kept in clean past
ures after they have been washed. Many
times it is quite impracticable to confine ev
ery flock in pastures where they cannot find
some dirty place to roll in. Sometime?
shearers cannot be obtained at the desired
time, or the weather is too unfavorable to
allow the wool to dry sufficiently to be shear
ed, and sometimes the tabors of the field
are so urgent that shearing must be deferred
for a number of days. All these considera
tions are in favor of abandoning entirely the
practice of washing sheep. Admitting that
it costs more per head for shearing unwash
ed sheep, the expense of washing will ex
ceed the extra cost for shearing without
washing. two items will
balance each other. Then, when the differ
ence brtween the prices of unwashed and
washed wool, which is not definite, even
when the absurd one-third rate is insisted
upon by buyers, is contrasted with injury
which may follow washing valuable sheep,
it is safe to assume that it is better to shear
them unwashed. Moreover, when flocks
from various parts of the country are driven
to the same washing-place, there is great
danger that sound and healthy flocks will
come in contact with the contagion of dis
eased sheep that have been in the pens to be
washed. Many an excellent flock of sheep,
which has been guarded with vigilance by
its proprietor, has been well nigh ruined,
simply by being yarded where sheep having
the foot-rot had recently been confined. —
What is needed at the present time is. an
understanding between wool growers that
all will shear their sheep without washing;
then the practice will soon be abandoned, a?
neither promotive of the welfare of the
sheep nor of the interests of the shepherds
nor of manufacturers. — American Agricul
turist.
CLEAN YOUR CELLARS.
If not already done : thoroughly purge
this subterranean story of your house.
Every decayed onion, cabbage stump, potato
vine or tuber, turnip, parsnip, carrot and
all the dirt they have made, all straw and
rubbish, rake them up and out with them.
The cellar is no place for them at any time
of the year. If you still retain a few pota
toes for table use let them be picked ove;
and all decayed ones removed. One of th<
best housewives of our acquaintance, greet
ed us not long since with an invitation t<
come and see her cellar. "I have swepi
down every cobweb, whitewashed the walls
swept up the floor, and sowed it with salt,
Decayed vegetable matter is a fertile caus<
of disease, and there is enough of it out o
doors in this country without heaping it uj
in the cellar for the special purpose, it woulc
almost seem, of breeding fevers. White
wash the walls, for lime purifies as well a
beautifies. Rake down the cobwebs, the)
are the infallible marks of a slattern. Sail
destroys worms, &c. If your cellar is verj
dry and sandy, you may use salt withou
detriment ; but if too damp it will mak<
the matter worse.
DEPTH OF COVERING SEEDB.
As a general rule, the smaller the seec
the lighter should be the covering. .We an
very apt to cover too deeply. Mature her<
is safe to follow. She covers lightly. Thi
seed falls from the ripened stalk upon th<
surface of the ground to be covered onl;
with leaves, or to be washed into the soil b;
the rains. Onions, parsnips, squashes anc
Lima Beans, such plants, especially, as pusl
up the shells of the seed itself, find it diffi
cult to force their way up through muel
depth of earth, after it is packed down bj
rams. A quarter or a half an inch at most
is quite sufficient for these seeds.
Oare should be taken that no lumps o;
earth be left over them. We like long rowi
of beets, carrots, parsnips, etc., and don'i
believe in wasting half tne land in useless
paths and walks with short rows running
crosswise. Long rows are more easily work
ed and kept clean than short ones, and th<
labor for the same number of plants in lonj
rows is less then in short ones. We shoulc
study economy both on the farm and in the
garden. On the field the too frequent turn
mgs consume much time in ploughing, ant
to some extent this is so in the garden.
Massachusetts Ploughman.
GARDEN WALKS.
As many persons have at this time largt
heaps of coal ashes, they can dispose o:
them in no way better to advantage than by
hauling them into their garden alleys
Remove from four to six inches of the dirt
and having screened the ashed or separatee
the core and cinders, first apply the coarst
■tuff, then oyster-shells, if you have any or
hand, small stones, gias# or pieces of bricks,
and topdress with th n ashes. Roll it, and
you will have one oft he best walks ever seer
in a garden. The ashes become very hard,
and are never wet, winter or summer, if the
weather gives the water the least, chance to
get away. In summer in five minutes aftex
a shower, there will be scarcely enough
moisture to dampen the soles of your shoe?.
If there is not sufficient ashes fore all the
walks, commence with the principal ones,
and in a couple of years the garden will be
complete. Then, each spring after, give
them a slight top-dressing of the ashes,
which will about consume your annual stock,
—Gcrmantmcn Telegraph.
BIRDS. —Whatever havoc birds may make
among the fruits in summer, during April
and May they live upon insects, and the
number they destroy is immense. Happy
is he who has his garden full of them. V rens
and blue birds especially should be courted
And furnisded with houses of appropriate
sizes; for wrens,boxes 4M 4 with an .inch hole
for entrance two inches above the floor: for
blue birds, BM6 with 11-4 inch hole.
Colonize different birds in different places,
for the wrens are quamdsome. — Agrieultui

Over 50,000 Shares Already Sold.
Capital Stock $150,000.
Par Value of Shares SI.OO.
No Favoritism. Every Knbscribcr on the
Ground Floor.
The property ef the above named company,
which is about being organized under the mining
laws of Pennsylvania, consists of the following
valuable territory, to u it:
1. A lease of one-haif acre, known as "No. 3,"
on the Tenncy and Storrow purchase, on Cherry
Run, Venango county, Pa., just above the celebra
ted "Reed" well and within a stone's throw of a
well just struck, flowing at present 100 barrels pet
day. A new derrick erected upon the lot. One
half the oil to the company.
2. A lease of one half acre, inclose proximity to
the above, known as "No. 6," on the Tenney and
Storrow purchase on Cherry Run. New derrick
erected upon the lot. One half the oil to the com
pany.
3. The refusal for sixty days, of a lease on Su
gar Creek, of two acres of ground; five-eighths of
the oil to thecompauy.
4. Seven acres in fee simple on the waters of
Ritchey Run, one mile from its junction with the
Allegheny, about the same distance from the Fox
and Widel well, owned by the "Stump Island Oil
Company." All flat, boreable territory, at present
under cultivation, with a good frame house upon
it.
5. Three acres in fee simple on the Allegheny
river, just below the mouth of the Clarion river.
There is room on this tract for a half dozen wells.
, The "Allegheny and Clarion River Oil Compa
ny," of Philadelphia, arenow sinking several wells
immediately opposite this property, with excel
lent prospects of success.
In presenting the above basis to the public, it is
confidently believed that it cannot be excelled by
that of any other company yet organized. The
two leases on Cherry Run are themselves worth
more than the territories of many companies
which profess to be based upon a million capital.
The Cherry Run region has proved to be the sur
est oil-producing territory yet discovered. Nine
tenths of the wells bored on this stream have been
successful. The great "Reed" well, flowing 375
barrels per day, the "Mountain" well flowing 400,
and in fact nearly all of the large wells yet struck,
are located on Cherry Run.
It is proposed to sell a sufficient number of
shares to pay for the territory and to raise work
ing capital for its development, at the low price of
tventy-fice cent* per share, thus placing every sub
scriber to this fund, on the. 'ground-four, and giv
ing each subscriber a pro rata interest in the ter
ritory, engines, and other property of the company,
as well as the shares of stock remaining unsold
after the purchase money and working capital are
raised. From the nature of the leases boring up
on them must be commenced within sixty days
from the 20th of April, 1865, which is a sufficient
guaranty that the company will proceed without
delay to the development of its territory.
The following named persons haue been elected
officers of the company.
President—J. B. FARQUHAR.
Secretary and Treasurer—JACOß REED.
DIRECTORS:
Wm. Masters, B.F.Meyers,

TjIOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
Horse and Cattle Powders.
These Powders have proved, after a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fiom the fact that they are compos
ed of medicines that have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach and intestines, the tonic gives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicine? contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous [and
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the horse a
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders arc to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearance of being fat when not really so—but
to remove the disease and promote his general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an 1
bring them to a healthy state. They are a sure pre
volition of Lung Fever, and a cortain remedy
all diseases incident to tbo Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, H(laves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss ol Appetite and Vital
Energy, Ac.—These powders, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and valnc which should place it in the
hands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes thorn thrive much faster,
HOGS.
In all diseases of swine, as coughs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver, Ac., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders in a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can be cored or entirely prevented.
By using these powders the hog cholera can be
prevented.

These works will be printed on a greatly im

mcric&n Periodicals are either advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
continue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original editions.Hence, our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter furnished, as those of any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexceeding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nua) payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—sl costing us at
this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted we shall be enti
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgreat Civil War, and
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be
read and stndied with advantage by the people of
this oountry of every creed and party.
