After a sheep has lost its fleece, the skin of the animal becomes very sensitive to the heat of a scorching sun, or the chill of a cold storm. To be convinced of this, and the importance of making some extra exertion for the comfort of the animals, it is only necessary to visit the field where the flock is kept, when the day is hot or immoderately cold, and witness the dis comfort manifested. In either case the sheep will be found seeking shelter, pant ing or shivering, and of course suffering severely. Probably the most economical mode of protecting the flock is to turn them into the woods, or into a field a part of which is covered by forest trees. Here, in a hot day, they are shielded from the sun, and in a cold storm get some protection It is better, however, when a cold storm ap proaches, to drive the flock up, and keep them in the barn until the weather is suitable for them to go out again. It will be remembered that but a few years ago, thousands of sheep were killed in Northern Ohio, by a cold storm some time in June. Farmers at that time, who were thoughtful enough to care for their flocks, saved them, and the lesson learned then should be remembered. It is not frequent that we have summer storms severe enough kill sheep outright. un less, perhaps, it be a few old "pelters," yet that is no argument against giving them protection, for when an animal suffers from any cause, it declines in flesh, health and strength. At this season it is particularly im portant that ewes with lambs be given all the advantage possible, for they have two lives to support, and the draft upon their system is heavy enough without being sub jected to endurances which might, with care, be averted.—Ohio Farmer. Cost and Profit, Some person who has been comparing figures on the subject says there seems to be a prospect of an important collapse in the price of certain kinds of machinery. It had been discovered, for instance, that the sewing machines, whose manufacture has enriched a dozen or more collossal compa nies, cost but fifteen dollars each, and are sold for sixty dollars and over. Now that the patents which protected and sustained these monopolies have expired, heavy com panies are being organized to manufacture sewing machines at the cheaper rate. Similarly, the farmers are finding that they are paying a large bonus to manufac turers for their farming machinery. The Illinois railroad quarrel has brought out a correspondent who has been investigating the actual cost of certain farming imple ments, and comparing that with the prices paid by the farmers. The result. is stated as follows : Cost. One McCormick reaper $45 One Beloit reaper 45 Sulky Rake 2O One fanning mill lO Four plows, each lO Total $2OO $697 Which gives a profit of $197, on $2OO worth of machinery. As the above figures were taken from the sworn testimony of McCormick himself, as given before the congressional investig,atingcommittee, they are entitled to credence until disproved.— Ohio Farmer. Sawdust for Stables, A correspondent of the London Field says: I litter the horses on it to a depth of nine inches, raking off the damp and soiled surface every morning, and spread. lug evenly a little fresh, removing the whole four or five times a year. Its ad vantages appear to be many, of which I will state a few, which give it, in my esti mation, its greatest superiority over straw. It is much cleaner, anti more easily ar ranged; and, of course, much cheaper at first cost, making, in the end, excellent manure. It is peculiarly beneficial to the feet, affording them a cool, poronsstuffing, a substitute for the soil of earth we always find in the hoofs of a horse at grass, and presents the nearest resemblance to a horse's natural footing—the earth. We never had a diseased foot since the intro duction of sawdust in the stable, now some years since. Horses bedded on sawdust are freer from dust and stains than when in ordinary litter; simply because sawdust is a better absorbent, perhaps, and testify their approval of it by frequently lying down for hours in the day. It has also the recommendation of being uneatable— an advantage which all in charge of horses with the habit of eating their litter will admit. Lime and Salt, Prof: Johnson recommends for fertiliz ing purposes to mix one bushel of salt and two bushels of dry lime under cover, and allow the mixture to decompose gradually, thus forming chemical union. For this purpose the mixture should be made six weeks before use, or still better, two or three months, the heap being turned over occasionally. This salt and lime mixture when applied at the .rate of twenty or thirty bushels per acre, forms an excellent top-dressing for many crops. It sets powerfully on the vegetable matter of soils; fifty-six bushels applied to turnips have produced as large a crop as barnyard ma nure. It is destructive to grubs and in sects in the soil. Like salt it attracts moisture from the air, and is useful against dronth. Its decomposing power is re markable, and if three or four bushels of it are mixed with a load of muck, the latter will be thus thoroughly powerded. WASHING BurrEß.—A lady corres pondent of the Maine Farmer took a churning and washed half of it in three waters, the other half she worked without washing. She put the butter on the table three times when she had company, not telling them which she washed. All at table said the washed butter bad a better color and was sweeter. Some of them were as good butter makers as she was ap quainted with. United States Laws, (Pablithed by Autl LAWS OF TOE UNITED STATES PASSED AT THE THIRD SESSION OF THE FORTY-SECOND CONGRESS.

EXCELSIOR.- Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines are considered superior to all others before the American public for the speedy and certain cure of the diseases for which they are recommended. Invalids, try them, and be convinced of the truth of what we assert. It is but ten months since they were first offered to the public, and to-day they are sold by first-class Druggists and Merchants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, the Virginias, Ohio, Indiana, and the District of Columbia. Surely they are not humbugs or they would'nt be so highly commended by the intelli gence of the most powerful states in all this fair land. They are classified so as to meet the most difficult diseases for which they are offered, not one medicine for all the diseases humanity is heir to. The Magic Balm cannot fail to cure C.ughs and Colds if need sc. cording to directions. For all diseases arising from impurities in the blood use the THE INDIAN VEGETABLE Restorative and Blood Purifier, THE SAMSON OIL need only ba tricti to convince any one that it will curo Cramp Colic, Bunions, etc. The Hepatica Pills are an Alternative Cathartic, and should be need in every family. They should be used in connec tion with the Mountain Herb Bitters for Fever and Ague. FOUSE BROS., CRUM & CO., Sole Proprietors of Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines —AND— Fouse's L X. L.
