Sheep After Shearing.
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.

Dr. Wengert's Family Medicines

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
