ftolea# lotvsehoM. RAISE SHEEP, EAT MUTTON. (From thr Boston Advertiser.) Good mutton.well fatted and neatly butch ered is the most wholesome, nntritioas and cheapest of meats. It grows quick and costs little to produce it, compared with beef and pork. Every farmer should have a fewwool ed Cosset sheep at least —Cotswolds or Lei cesters. They are little trouble and will keep fat on the orts of the cattle. They usually bring twin lambs, which sell to the butchers for from $8 to $lO the Ist of July. Their fleece averages from 8 to 14 lbs. with from 16 to 25 per cent, shrink only. Their wool is now and will be in the future, worth 30 per cent, more than Merino, which shrinks fronT 45 to 70 per. cent., according to the family and treatment ofthe flock. Long wool makes strong, excellent and durable domestic stock ing yarn, though it is mostly used to make the brilliant, light and lustrous Orleans goods, for the apparel of our pretty women. Two such sheep yield as much profit as a common cow, and five of them can be kept as cheap as a cow in milk. Their lambs and inutton would keep a farmer supplied with the best of fresh meat of one kind, as often as is nec c... ary, the year round, and would make an agreeable episode to the eternal round of salt junk aud pork, aud be far more healthy than either. Those who eat principally salted meats show it in their complexion, their skin being less fair and smooth. Pork, at best, eaten constantly, produces irritation and eruptions oflhe skin. Since the discovery in this country, ofthe trachiua disease. an ex amination of a great number of slaughtered bogs in the West by a committee of scientific gentlemen, reported that they found about one hog in forty more or less diseased. We have now a plenty of sheep in the country, over 32,000,000 head, (more than ever before according to the population.) Then iet all manufacturers, mechauics, and all meu who are interested to have good meat and the board of operatives cheap and wholesome, see to i' that mutton-raising and wool-growing are properly encouraged as a matter of health and economy. Meat is a great item in the expense of a board of operatives, &c. If we grow our own wool, we shall always have mutton plenty and cheap. This will affect materially the price ui other meat, and the whole people, including the manufacturers, would gain probably as much by cheaper meats as thc-y would lose by a protective du ty on wool : for, encouraged, both wool and mutton would be plenty and cheap. Mutton is better, cheaper and safer to eat than pork, for Miss Lida Jordan, of Maine township, Marion county, lowa, has just died of trichiniosis, having eaten diseased pork last spring. She never entirely recovered from the first attack, which was a very petit liar set of abnormal manifestations, and has, at this length of time from the eating of the trichinous meat, succumbed to the presence ofthe parasite in her system. This subject is worthy of much reflection by all who would not destroy the present pros perity of our national flock by inconsiderate and improvident legislation. A prosperous sheep husbandry is a matter of the very first importance to every civilized community, aud most especially to the United States, where the climate and its changes, for health aud comfort, require so much woolen clothing the year ronnd. 11. C. M. RENTING AND OWNING A FAR.*, There is no man more independent than the owner of a well cultivated farm, lie is less beholden to popular sentiment than peo- I pie ol any ether calling. He has.always a sure support before him without consulting the opinions or relying upon the custom of any one. There is a constant market for all the surplus he can produce, and he obtains for it the current prices without any one de manding to know of him his religious or po litical faith. It should, therefore, be the object of ail young farmers, who are renters, to pursue such a course as will insure for them at the the earliest period a fatm of their own. This course will be found not to lie in frequent changes, as we think nothing retards the suc cess of a renter more ruinously than this. Tr ayoid this, he should take a lease for five cr ten years, and work it, with all the care a'.d energy as though it were his own. Let tue landlord see clearly thai at the end of each year the farm is in better condition than at the beginning : the fences are as good : the out-buildings suffering no damage, reasona ble wear and tear excepted ; that in every respect the tenant has done his duty, and best of all has found his advantage in it. Such j a person conld get the premises at a lower i rate than another, who was untried : but nol i only so, he could have his lease renewed were i it desirable, or it may be he conld become owner were the farm for sale ; and some landlords, who see so much honesty, skill and industry applied for a series of years by bis tenant, would be induced to favor him in the price of it. But there is another side to the question. It is the indisposition of landlords to lease for inore than one year at a time. They say that if they obtain a bad tenant it istoo long ; if a good one the lease can be renewed as long as both parties arc agreed. This plan, however, gives poor encouragement to a tenant who inteuds to devote all his energies to the busi ness aud to do the best for himself and the landlord. The latter may see proper to sell, or he may eonie across some one whom he thinks he would prefer for a tenant. At least his tenure is uncertain aud of course discoura ging. A tenant who desires to do well wants to be assured of a fair chance to do so by oc cupying the place for a series of years. And it is on this erroneons system of leas ing that we have so few good tenants on the one hand and so few capitalists on the other who invest in land with a view to income. The sooner the system is reformed, the better it will be for all parties. SUGAR AS AN ARTICLE OK DlET. —Dntrone calls sugar the "most perfect alimentary sub stance in nature." Dr. Hush says it affords the greatest quantity of nourishment in a given quantity of matter than any other arti cle in nature. Sir John Fringle tells us that the p?agu6 has never been known to visit any country where sugar composes a material part of the diet of the inhabitants, l'r. t'nl len is of the opinion that the frequency of malignant fevers of all kinds has been less ened by the use sugar. IWiMOfOUS. ill who only builds castles in the air will never have a castle to dwell in. IT was a maxim of Euripides cither to ! keep silence, or to speak something better 1 thnn silence. A HOUSE dealer, describing a used up ; horse, said he looked "as if he had been ed iting a country newspaper. •l o.iKm WiXKEUtEYRR, worth half a million i of dollars, died in St. Louis on Tuesday. He j left all his wealth to his wife, with the excep tion of one dollar to eaeh of his six children. "They will care for mother now." A MAS met a big Indian on the plains a few weeks ago. The gentle savage had a large bundle of scalps, and the white man made bold to ask him what he had been doing. "Heugh !" said the noble red man, "me been skirmishing for waterfalls!" A 1.01 .N'TRY fellow came to the city to see his intended wife, aud for a long time could think of nothing to say. At last a great snow falling he took occasion to tell her that all his father's sheep would be undone. "Well," said she. kindly taking him by the hand, "I'll keep one of them." SMITH as ted Brown what the high price of butter was owing to. "A considerable part of it is owing to my grocer," said Brown, "for it is two months since I paid him." A icHooi. MASTER tells the following good one: "I was teaching in a quiet country vil liage; the second morning of my session I had time to survey my surroundings, and among the scanty furniture I espied a three legged stool. "Is this the dunce block?" I asked a little girl of five. The dark eyes sparkled, the carls nodded ascent, and the lips rippled out, "I guess so : the teacher al ways sits on it." A PAI'KR gives the following reasons for not publishing a poetic effusion : —"The rhythm sounds like pumpkins rolling over a barn floor, while some liues appear to have been measered with a yard stick, and others with a ten foot pole." A L.YXII speculator, in describing a lake ou an estate in Putnam county. New York, says it is so clear and so deep, that by looking into it you can see them making tea in l hiua. A i.Ai>v once asked the Abbe de Matiguon how old he was. ''Why, I am only thirty two,"' said he. "but I count myself thirty three, because a little boy was boru a year before I was and died, evidently keeping me back a whole year by accident." Ax Irishman, on hearing of a friend hav ing a stone eoffih made for himself, exclaim ed. "lie me soul, and that's a good idee. Sure and o stone coffin "ud last a man's life time." A ]>oo. which bad lost the whole of her in teresting family, was seen trying to poke a piece of crape through the handle of the door of a stusage shop in Rochester, the other day. PRYHKN was so fond of reading that his wife one day c-xclaimcd: "I wish 1 were a book that I might be in your society.'" "I wish you were an almanac," he replied, "so that 1 could change every year. lx a jovial company, each one asked a question. If it was answered he paid a for feit ; or if he could not answer it himself, he paid a forfeit. An Irishman's question was. "How docs the little ground squirrel dig his hole without showing any dirt about the en trance ?" When they gave it up Pat said ; ".'■fhure don-t you see, he begins at the other end of the hole."' One of the rest exclaim ed, "But how does he get there !" "Ah." said Pat, "that's your question—can you an swer it yourself?" A TOT-'XO man just from Auburn prison ; says lie has lost al' admiration for auburn locks. PKEC INTO THC FITURK. —A cote in porary j turning his visage to the future and in the misty distance of two hundred years, sees and describes the following : Scene—House of a citizen in New York. Time—A. I>. 2pG->. A telegraph message has j been sent to a servant, who presents himself ' at a window in a balloon. Master —John go to South America, and tell Mr. .lohnson that I shall be happy to have him sup with me this evening. Never mind your coat, go right away. In live minutes John returns. John—Mr. Johnson says he will come : he is obliged to go to the North Pole for a mo ment, and will call here as he comes back. Master —Very well John. Now you may wind up the machine for setting the table, and telegraph to iny wife that Mr. Johnson will be here presently. After that, John, you may dust out the ballon ; 1 have an appoint ment in Loudon at ten o'clock. John disappears to execute these orders, while his master steps down to the West In dies to get a fresh orange. A sharp 010 gentleman travelling out West got a scat beside his wife in a crowded car by requesting the young man who sat by her to "please watch that womau while he went in to another car, as she had fits." THEY tell of an old farmer who while in town one day was asked the best time to put in rye. "It's about the best time now," said the old fellow, looking at his watch, "and if you've got any postal currency about yon I'll go aud show you how it is done." "CHARI.IK, my dear," said a loving mother to a hopeful son, just budded into breeches, "Charlie, my dear, come here and get some candy." "I guess I won't mind it now, moth er." replied Charlie, "I've got in some to bacco." "I say, milkman, you give your cows too much salt !" "How doyou know how much suit I give them them ?" "I think 1 judge from the appearance of the milk you have brought us lately. Salt makes the cows dry and then they drink to much water—that makes their milk thin, you know.'' DURING the prevalence of a recent cold snap, the weather furnished a theme of con versation to a group of loafers, who gathered around a stove in a certain store. One of them, David I , after listening to the talk awhile, burst forth as follows: ••If you call this cold. T should like to know how you would like to live in Minnessola. Why 1 was there u few winters ago, and the man with whom I was boardiug went out to feed the poultry, and he carried a teakettle of boiliug water to thaw them out, and in pouring the water out, it froze before it reached the ground, so that before it was all emptied there was a stream of ice half way to the nose of the tea kettle." The deadly silence j which followed WHS broken by a bystander asking : "Did he feed the chiekens *" PUBLIC SALS OF Valuable Real Estate.
