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.
