SMkXtt AXD FIXE WOOL
The lute extraordinary rite in the price of
coarse wool we had supposed was mainly ow
ing to the demand of our government for
blankets and clothing for the soldiers. The
following article copied from the Mark Lane
Express, suggests a more permanent'and satis
factory reaso* lor this singular change:—
"An extraordinary change, in fact, has ta
ken place in the trade, by virtue of which the
long and the line short wools have changed
places, the former having advanced and the
latter receded in price, especially lamb's
wool, which formally was the most vuluable
of any kind of native growth. This descrip
tion has fallen to about II pence, or 28 cents
per lb., while Leicestershire teggs or bog
gett's wool from the same sheep will fetch, or
has fetched 2s. 6d., or 60 cents per lb, the
fleece weighing 14 lbs. The causes for so
strange an alteration in the wool trade are
various, but may be traced in the introduction
of the Alpac or I-ama w 00l from Peru. The
length and fineness of this material enabled
the manufacturer to make a kind of fabric en
tirely new to the British market, namely,
those light gossamer stuffs known as alpacas,
so much prized and worn by our fair country
women. The success of this material set the
manufacturers to work to attempt imitations
of it troro the long wool of British growth. In
this they succeeded, especially since the inven
tion of combing wool by machinery about
fourteen years ago, which greatly improved
the operation, as well as the uniformity of the
material upon which it was employed. By
the use of this machine, wool can now be
combed of two-and-a-half inches in length,
but it is the long Lincolnshire, Yorkshire,
Boroney Marsh, and Cotswolds that have so
much increased in value since the introduc
tion of Lama and Alpaca wool. Ihe facility
for perfecting "these wools for the purpose ot
making imitations of Alpaca fabrics, is one of
the causes of the advance; far the enormous
demand for such fabrics for foreign countries,
with the supply limited to the growth ol the
United Kingdom, has rendered this far more
scarce than the short wool, of which the
amount from our colonies of Australia and
New Zealand is annually increasing.
WINTER CARE OF CATTI.E
* How many farmers there are who towards
the close of winter, complain of being short
of fodder and are compelled to purchase hay
at high prices to carry their stock until pas
ture time. I kuow from experience what
this is and find it does not pay.
There are two causes and also two reme
dies for this state of things, viz: !oo heavy a
stock and too wasteful feeding. For the form
er the remedy is obvious; for the latter, a
great many farmers have not yet discovered a
preventive; but go in the old way of feeding
in common square racks in the yard, either
cornfodder, straw or hay. Here is where the
loss occurs, and did every farmer know the
great gain there would be in rutting up every
thing he feeds, instead of feeding it whole,
there would be no more complaints of "short
fodder." I have tried it and find that I can
winter ten head of cattle on cut fodder note,
where 1 only wintered five last year, and what
is more, keep them in better order! I use a
fodder-cutter, (worked by hand or borse as
the case may be,) and teed in the yard in
troughs six feet long, eighteen inches deep
and two. feet wide at the top, sloping to one
foot at the bottom. My cattle eat it up clean
—hard but*, stalks and aM\ and one ordinary
bundle of fodder —such as would be general
ly given to a steer at one meal —lasts an ani
mal a whole day.
Another advantage is, my manure is all
short, easily haudled in the spring when 1
heap it up under the sheds, and I am not
bothered by the long cornstalks all through it.
Cattle prefer their fodder cat, and will eat it
more quietly.
The same saving may be accomplished in
the stable, by cutting the hay fed to the hors
es, cows, &c. They soon learn to like it bet
ter than long hay, and then they can waste
none.
Let every farmer who has not tried it, and
who has been worried to know how to get his
cattle through the winter rightly without buy
ing hay, try this plan, and if he does it right,
he will never regret the outlay for the cutter.
My saving of fodder in one winter will I think,
pay for my cutter.
Cannot some of the rest of our farmers,
who have tried it, give us their experience
for the benefit of the hundreds icho have not?

A CHEAP AM) GOOD SHOKE UOISK.
A Western New York farmer publishes his
plan of a small, cheap and good smoke-house
which, as it may contain some practical hints
for our own readers, we append it:
"No farmer should be without a good smoke
house, and such a one as will be fire-proof
and tolerably secure from thieves. Fifty hams
can be smoked at one time in a smoke-house
seven by eight feet square. Mine is six by
seven, and is large enough for most farmers.
I first dug all the ground out below where the
frost would reach, and filled it up to the sur
face with small stones. On this I laid my
brick floor, in lime mortar. The walls are
brick, eight inches thick, and seven feet high,
with a door on one side two feet wide. The
door should be made of wood and lined with
sheet iron. For the top I put on joints, two
by four, set up edgewise, and eight and a half
inches from centre to centre, covered with
brick, and put on a heavy ooaLof mortar. I
built a small chimney on the top in the cen
tre, arching it over and covering it With a sin
gle roof in the usual way. An arch should
be built on the outside, with a small iron door
to shut it up, similar to a stove door, with a
hole from the arch through the wall of the
smoke-house, and an iron grate over it. This
arch is much more convenient and better to
pnt the fire in, than to bnild a fire inside the
smoke-house, and the chimney causes a draft
through into the smoke-house. Good corn
cobs or hickery wood are the best materials
to make a smoke for hams. The cost of such
s smoke-hGuse as I have described is about
s2°. \ ,
VOISO t" it I'IT TREKS.
We see it recommended in more than one
agricultural journal, that the best way to pro
tect young fruit trees —such as apples, pears,
cherries, 4c.—against frost, is to apply agood
mulch of manure or straw. Perhaps in more
northern latitudes this may be of service, pro
vided there are no mice about-, otherwise the
mulch will prove a good harbor for them, and
the the bark of the trees excellent food.
Now, we would suggest a different proce
dure: In the last of November or beginning
of December, increase the depth of soil over
tho roots, and pile it up to a point around the
stem of the tree some six, eight or more inch
es, well spanked down. It will be found, we
think, to be a sure protection against mice
and frost. Germaniovm Tdeyraph.

BRITISH PERIODICALS.

London Quarterly Review (Conservative.! 7
Edinburgh Review (Whig.)
Westminster Review (Radical).
North British Review (Free-Church).
AND
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine! Tory)
The American Publishers continue to reprint the
above-named periodicals, but as the cost of printing
has doubled and the price of paper nearly trebled,
they arc compelled to advance their terms as fol
lows :
per annum.
For any one of the Reviews $4.00
For any two of the Reviews 7.00 "
For any three of the Roviews. 10.00 "
For all four of the Reviews 12.00 "
For Blackwood's Magazine 4.00
For Blackwood and any one Review..! 7100 "
For Blackwood and two of the Reviews 10.00 "
For Blackwood and three of the Reviews 13.00 "
For Blackwood and the four Reviews.... 15.00 "
1 hese works will be printed on a greatly im
proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A
merican Periodicals arceither advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
eoatinue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original cditions.llencc, 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 (he present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexceeding
iy tow. aaa to mis u,e raei mat wem&Kc our an
nual payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—sloosting us at
ibis time nearly 82.50 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 studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and party.
