<H\!t SID'S SETTISC FE\'t'E POSIS*
V i-nrre:-■■pondeiit of the New England
Farmer gives his experience in charring
and setting posts, which we copy as an
in in of interest to everv fanner . ,
.. >I. Coi.e : I observe in your present
volume, Page 143, an article taken from
the American Farmer, rocommc uding char
, .ng the but-ends of posts lor fence. Now,
as the public inav be deceived as 1 once
j iill sav a "word about tins mater.
• Experience,' is to be the best ;
• schoolmaster.' When 1 was a lad, my
I liver made a set of bars at the end ol a
Pine leading to the cow pasture. One ol
these bar-posts outlasted the other two or
• hrre times over: at las', the good post,
v. hich had lasted so long, w is by accident
uuned out of the ground-by .unmng the
cart against it, whereupon it was found
that the post had been charred as far as it
wen! iiilo thegrour.tl. Tin,!.,.corrobo
, bv oilier-, let! me cm,elude u ,ll
•rreat certainty that charring would add
Tr-catlv to the durability of posts, burning
riiem 'as far up as they were set in the
<rround. Now, as 1 was about to build a
tranlen fence and a barn-yard lcncc in the
spring of 1818, 1 cut and split, out of the j
very lest white oak timber, a sufficient ;
i iiantitv for this purpose. These posts
were all charred with great care to five or j
.-ix inches above the surface of the ground
when set. But to my surprise and disap
pointment, alt had to be renewed in seven
v ears.
•• In 1 s 10, 1 set about two hundred and
fifty posts to fence through the swamp,
neatmuck soil; nil of these posts without
. barring, are good to this day, thirty-one
years standing. We have another fence,
about -evenly rods, set in 13:10. These
; •>:.< ;.ro on upland, set chiefly top-ends
i the ground, all of which are sound,
with the exception of a very few, which
w. re broken by a severe wind this spring.
But on examining lliese broken posts, it is
found that they were set but-end down.
•• Now, I am inclined to believe, so far
a.- I have tried the experiment of charring, ,
it lid- not only been a considerable item of
t xpense, but has been a serious damage to
the durability of the timber. Perhaps, if
! had allowed my posts to season perfectly
before thev were charred, and then burned
the top-ends of the timber instead of the
huts, and set all mv posts top-end down. !
might hate been more successful.
•• It lias been my invariable rule for more '
than twenty years to have all my posts set
top down :—but my men are sometimes
careless, and set a post the same end down
as it was grown in the woods ; but these
usually tell the stupidity of the workmen j
in fifteen or twenty years, by breaking off •
at the c urfaee of the ground. Ilow long
posts arc to last in the ground, top-down,
must be left for uuie to determine. Twen
ty-one years in coarse, porous sand, does
not yet tell, cither in regard to oak or re
dor. Perhaps some of your correspond
ents may give some information on each
of the foregoing points, and will greatly
oblige a 10-, i r of improvement by commu
nicating the same."
I HE 10>T PROFITABLE BREED OF SHEEP.
There i? much discussion upon the ques
tion as to the most profitable breed of
sheep. One party asserts that the true
breed is the finest and purest Saxony ;
another is equally certain that it's the
hardy gummy Merino ; a third is opposed
to all fine wooled sheep, and can only
grow the South Down ; while still another
can see no profit in any hut the long
wooled and stately Cots wold or Leices
ter ; while a great multitude are in favor
of the mongrels, obtained by a cross Iron,
a part or all of the kinds mentioned.
The object of raising sheep, as of any
other kind of fanning, is to make money, 1
to turn the herbage into cash. The best
breed of sheep for the farmer to adopt
■will depend in a great degree upon his lo
cality. Whether near or at a distance
from a good market for live stock, as large '
towns, or upon railroads leading thereto :
whether in a grain growing or grazing dis
trict, or in a warm or cold climate.
It is settled that a fine staple of wool
cannot be grown upon a profitable carcass
for the butcher. A large and early ma
turing sheep, like the South Down and
<lotswpld, cannot be made to produce a
line clothing wool. But the wool they do ,
produce is valuable, and brings a rernuncr
ue rating price, especially the long wool of
ihe Lciecsters. Then coarser and larger
bodied sheep require a larger amount of
pasture, and cannot he kept in large (locks. :
t or the farmer who keeps but a few, say
from 50 to 100, we should recommend
the coarse woob d sheep. Many a farmer,
who can keep his 50 or 00 head, could
make bis two dollars annually clear upon
each with very little trouble, it would
require care, and that is what a great mam
farmers complain of, though constantly
grumbling of hard times. In a warm cli
mate, and especially at the South, fine
worded Saxon s should b- preferred. The
experience of years demonstrates that, in
the growing of line wool, the South need
have no competitor, and we feel fully sat
i.'fied that it would now be the most pro
fitable branch of their ■ grictiltural indus
try. There are Hock in that region u hich
produce wool that cannot be surpassed by
•n\ m Germany. Among thent, and per
haps the very iir-r. is the flock of M. R.
* nckritl, Ksq.. of Nashville, Tennessee,
for evenness, firmness, and strength of
■•"'pi", his flock has not yet been outdone
by the very highest bred German flocks.
hough lucre is li;de em ouragonif nt for
growing fine wool any w here, yet we should
advise our friends South not "to abandon it,
but to keep steady along, for it will not be
many years before they w HI have the fine
wool market entirely to themselves; for
the amount of strictly fine Savon wool
grown tins side of the Ohio river will
• .i>v 1* and i-\or\ vc.tr. Some tin l)
who have superior flocks, like our friends
Reed, of Dalton, Ohio, and Ladd of Rich
mond, Ohio, and who are fond of and un
destnnd breeding, will continue them and
make thein protitable. lint \te fear that
unlesss there is some great c hange soon,
the Saxon will not spread North arid West.
The great belt of our country lying
north of the Allegheny mountains, and the
t >hio river, and extending clear up to the
Roekv mountains, seems admirably adapt
ed for tiie Negretti and Infantado branch
of the Merino families, as south of that
line does for the Eseurial and Electoral
branch. The best representative of this
branch is found in what is now termed the
I 'ermont Merino. They are a hardy race,
with thick heavy fleeces, full of gum and
yoke, and formed to withstand well the
rigors of our hard winters. Like their
eongenier the Saxon, they delight in a dry
soil, and will thrice upon pastures where
larger sheep would starve. In Vermont,
objections are made to this breed of sheep
by wool dealers, because the wool is so
heavy be reason of its gum and yolk. It
may not be so protitable for them, but it
shows the great value of the breed for
cold and bleak regions. But as this sheep
travels West it loses this objection, for in
this State, and throughout the West the
wool n tains its fineness, but loses much
of its superfluous gum and oil. hut none
of its vigorous constitution. Crossed upon
the common breeds of Ohio, Michigan,
and the other Western States, it produces
a valuable breed, giving a liner and heavi
er fleece, and a stronger and more healthy
habit. This breed is not confined to Ver
mont. but may be found in great purity i
ihi< State and Connecticut, and Massachu
setts. Among the best now in our mind
is the flock of our friend, Mr. Dickinson,
of Victor, whose communications on the
subject of his flock, can be found in the
last volume.
It is not necessarv here to particularize
the various mongrel breeds which have
grown out of these great leading families.
We believe that one great cause of con
troversy has arisen from not taking a true
view of the great and natural division of
our country into Northern and Southern
wool growing sections. Around large cit*
ics, and upon small farms, coarse wooled
sheep will he found the most profitable ;
while in the milder climate of the South,
the Saxon, and in tiie colder regions of
the north, the M erino will be found tin
true breed. — I fool (1 rower.

"PA TE\T MEDICISES
"It is rtry seldotn that we make any allusion to Patent
Medicines, either approving or otherwise. Unfortunately
j for the country, and for honest and conscientious inven
tors and venders of these medicines, the land is becoming
ift ded with quack prej arationß, that are made alone for
profit and are fit not even for the dogs. In thisslate of
things it is hard to toll which are, and which are not worth
having If a person gets an indifferent medicine the first
tune he purchases, he is very .apt to condemn the whole
! of them olid buy no more, and inv.-ntors must only blame
; those of th'-ir number, (who ignorant!}- combine plain
j mcdiriiics together for the purpose of making money.) for
tie til .-iircr-s.s wliich attends the efforts of the deserving "
" At, belt- vc Dr C M Jackson's ' Hoofland's German
lint- rs' to be a most excelienl medicine, and one that
J should be highly popular in these days of Temperance ;
t'-.r they are altogether Vrgttaklt in their composition,
without one drop of <h he Spirits in them. This tued
- ii ine is mnoc • t, but strengthening in its effects, and rich
ly deserving of an unbound- d popuiariiy, which, when it
: becomes known, it will, no doubt, fully enjoy."
JI'DGB M. M. NOAH said, in his " WEEKLY MESSBX
! OEK," January 5, ISJO
j "Dr. H<'find's German Bitters —Here is a prepare
- tion wliii ii the leading presses in the Union appear to 1-e
ac.aniiii- -is in recommending, and the reason is obvious.
It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the
' most celebrated physicians of modern tunes - the late
Dr L'hristopher AViibtlm Hoof]and, professor to the Uni
versity of Jena, private physkian to the king of Prussia,
and one of the greatest medical writers Germany has ever
1 produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug,
and therefi-re a medicine of whi li he w as the inventor
and endorser may be confidently relied on. He specially
| recommended it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility,
: Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all
; complaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Philadelphia
papers express their con - , irtion of its excellency,and sev
eral of the editors speak of its effects front their own indi
vidual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel
warranted, not only in calling the attention of our renders
to the present proprietor's 'Dr (' M. Jackson's) prepara-
lion, but iii recommending ilte article to ul! afflicted."

"It is seldom that e re. • impend w1: it are teruti J Pot

met the hearty approval of the faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been received
(iike the foregoing) from nil sections of the
Union, the last three years, and the strongest
testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot
it used in the practice of the regular Physi
cians of Philadelphia than ail other nostrums
combined, a fact ;hat can easily be established,
and fully proving that a scientific preparation

'l'lint this medigino will cure f i ver Complaint

'as directed. It acts specifically upon the stom
