In catching sheep, never seize them l>y the wool on titP back, as it hurts them ex- j cecdinglv, and lias, itt some cases, been t known" to kill them, particularly in hot weather, if they are large and fat. Indeed, ; the best way is to avoid the wool altogeth- ' er, and to accustom yourself to take them j by the hind leg, or what is still better, by the neck, placing one hand under the jaw, ; Hiid the other at the back of the ears ; by ; lifting up the head, a child may hold al most any sheep. Age of Sheep. The age of a sheep may be known by , the front teeth. They are eight in num ber, atid appear, the first year, all of one , size. In the second year the tw o ntidule ones fall out and their place is supplied by j two larger ones. In the third year a j small tooth on each side falls out, and its j place supplied with a large one, making j lour large teeth in the middle, and two j pointed ones 011 each side. In the fourth vear the large teeth are stx in number. ; "in the fifth year the whole front teeth are large. In the sixth year the whole begin to get worn. In the seventh year some 1 jail out or are broken. it is said that the teeth of ewes begin to decay at five or six ; those of wethers at j seven, and those of rains at eight. Sheep ; continue productive for sixteen years. To what Soils is Lime Applicable i T-lvery clay soil, every peat soil, and every soil in which vegetable liber docs , not readily decay, because that is a sign that it contains some antiseptic acid, which 1 prevents decay. This is the case with j peat beds and swamps. Sandy, gravelly, or thin soils, may be overlitned and in jured, because in causing the decay of vegetables, it sets free the ammonia, the j very substance of fertility required. To ! 1 prevent this, more food must be given for | the light to act upon. Xo farmer, knowing , v, hat the action of lime is, upon all soils, will ever do without it, as an accessory to j j his manure. It is a component part of j t all crops grown by the farmer. When ] : applied to bind which had not borne wheat for many years, it has once been found to J enumerate the farmer using it. Choking Cattle. We recollect well, when upon a farnt some years atro, in the fall, a fine cow got j | choked, as cattle often do, upon apples or , potatoes, and would have died, ij the oh- i Ktacle had not been at once removed from j the passage of the stomach, where it was , lodged. Various old remedies were tried j to 110 purpose. Presently one recollected j si remedy proposed in a paper a few weeks I before, h is to put a stont line around j the neck just below the substance, which 1 can be felt with the hand on the outside, . and draw it close. This prevents the j piece of apple or potato, or whatever it is, j from falling back when the animal makes j an effort to throw ii out, which it will al- j most always do directly, when assisted in ! this way. The remedy was at once sue- ! cessful. The offending morsel proved to j ■ be the half of a hard green apple. So ! litis little scrap of newspaper knowledge was in this instance worth a tine cow oi l 1 thirty or forty dollar's value. How can j we know before hand, what kind of knowl edge is going to be most beneficial to us ? j \\ e cannot. And there is hardly any in- ■ > formation, especially in our own business, j 1 that will not, some time or other, in the I , long run, turn out to be of value to us. I 1 1 • . j In farming, knowledge is power, wealth, j " success and prosperity, as much as in any j' other profession. And what is wanted, is ■ < not so much the means of knowledge, for they are ample. It is the disposition to expect, look for, and glean knowledge j 1 from every source, in short, to feel and act j in the spirit of that good, old and charila- j Lie saying. 4 Jt takes everybody to know •even thing.* Wood Turning I'lstablishmtntA lacwisfowci, B*a. ii '% 4/ 00 U TURNING, in all its various T -branches, in city styles, at low prices, ; d,ne to order on the shortest notice.

A f.SO, My Vegetable Anli-Dysyepsia Eillcrs. I This Medicine is a certain cure for Dyspepsia in its j very worst forms. Thousands of cases have been com | plctely rured by it within the last year, which have ; been entirely despaired of by the regular family physi- I | ciaiis. We do not recommend it to cure everything—we : ; recommend it to cure Dyspepsia, and the diseases origi- i ! nating from it, and that it will cure in almost every case, ' 1 and it is recommended for nothing else. In many in- I j stances, even the worst of cass have been completely I cured in two and three months, but it depends somewhat ' i ripon the constitution of the pati- nt. We would say to I ; all who are atflicted with Dyspep-i t, give this medicine [ i a fair trial, and if it fails to do good, your money will tie ) | returned. AI .SO, My Vegetable Worm Powders. 1 Ti.is is the most wonri rfnl Worm Destroyer ever j . known, and at th. -tto.e lit: ", so pi ••(s iut to tike, that ' almost every child will he fond of it, and many instances ' have bo.-n kuown of children crying for more after once ' taking it. This medicine is in the form of a powder, tlie only j medicine eve r used in that form, and it operates on a ! principle entirely different from any other medicine ever j administered by any etin r physician. It is the only ! medicine which lias no Worm-so ed Oil or Turpentine j combined with it, which is believed by all other physi- j ciar.s, to be the only two tilings which will destroy ! worm-, and these two t!ur:?s combined, together with ! I castor oil, are the active principles of all other worm I j medicines, which every person who has ever tasted or | I smelted, knows to be tiie most nauseous of all nauseous j ! medicines, and on account of which, there is generally ' j something added to destroy this nauseous taste, and in j i order to do this, it must be something stronger than the j ' tricdit inn itself, and therefore, it must necessarily destroy I ! some of Its Medicinal properties. These powders are i simple and so harmless, that a child may cat a u hide box j i at once, and it will not be hurt, while at the same lime, J J tiie prir: iple upon which it acts being different from any- ; I tiling else ever used, it will destroy all kinds of Worms j | wilh a certainty never equaled. It will not only destroy j i the seat worms, or Aecarides,and long, round worms,or { Teres, but is the most effectual medicine for the deslruc- ! ; tion of the Tape Worm ever known. Ten doses have | 1 brought as many its FIVE Tape Worms from one person. \ If your children have any symptoms of worms, tri | these powders, and in nine caseeoat of ten,y ou will uev- j or use any ether. These are aLo warranted. These nit di- iaes are all separate, and one for each dis- i ease, and each for only one disease. They are not re- | commended, as many other medicines are, to cure some i fifteen or twenty diseases, and all of different natures, j but they are each to cure but one disease, and ti at they will do in ninety -nine cases out of every hundred, and where they have a fair trial and fail in ali cases, the money will be returned.

At last I acj | cidenlally stumbled upon Hoofland'g German Hitters, prepared by you. I look a few bottles according to di , rectinns, and was completely cured. I have not been so ; healthy for ten years as I have been since I took your | bitters, which was about one year ago. Some of my ; neighbors are now using them, and deriving great bun j eftt."

Respected Sir: I have been for a series of years afflict ed with Dyspepsia, Inactivity of the Liver, and Nervous | Debility. .My mental powers have been so reduced as i to render nie Quite unfit for the transaction ofany kind j of business. After consulting many eminent physicians, j and using their prescriptions, and after using the most popular remedies of the Bay, supposed to be applicable to ! my case, I always failed to have permanent relief. A I friend, with much persuasion, induced me to try a hottle I of your celebrated Bitters. I bave used one bottle, and j this day commenced the second. I can with i beerful j ne3s state that it has happily improved nte. My appe ! Lite and spirits have astonishingly improved, and I begin j to feel as though I had grown (suddenly) ten years younger, and really, I am almost prepared to say that I j now consider myself calculaied for any business, while, ten dajs ago, I would have as soon undertaken to square j a circle as to have attempted it. Yours respectfully, A. A. KAUFMAN. To Dr. C. M. Jackson, 120 Arch street, Philadelphia.' The Editor of "Scott's Weekly Paper," one of lire | largest literary and family newspapers published in Phil! | adelphia. says: '•Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, manufactured by Dr. i Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most | prominent members of the faculty, as an article of much | efficacy in cases of female weekness. As such is the I case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a bottle, and | thus save themselves much sickness. Persons of debili- J lated constitutions will find these bitters advantageous j to their health, as we know from experience the salutary j effect they have upon weak systems."
