farmer's gqmrtmmt. (From the American Agriru'luritt.) How to Raiso every Live-boru Lamb. Mr. Editor : —Feeding *wk lairolrft with fresh cow's milk is ofien in lispciisahlc ; tin old methods of doing this are too t tumid'some hut in the following manner a dozen or more may he fed with little or no d ifh nlfv, and in the same time one could lie in the common way while the latuhs need not he taken from tin ewes. Stooping down take tip the hmih h\ grasping Iti right foreleg at the fetlock w.th the three last fingers of the rigid hand (the thumb and forefingers touching the ground),at the same time taking its left foreleg in the same inaniipr with the left hntul —tlion raise np, lifting it, hanging its forelegs, with its hack towards yon—holding its head a few inches under your chin. Insert the thumb and forefinger of each hand into its mouth, elevat ing and prying it trifle open. Then allow a stream of cow's milk to flow slowly into the lamb's month from your own mouth, as fast a. it can swallow. The milk will strangle it a little, and occasion it to struggle some, tint this will not injure it in the least, auk after a few feedings, the lambs will huddle around you and stick out their noses, begging to be fed Iu cold or wet weather watcli them carefully, and feed cverv feeble or half starved lamb with one or more mouthfulls of cow's milk, arid at night feed them until tliey look middling full, which can lie seen bv the distension of their ribs. This is the Scoteh method, and I have seen the most wonderful success from it. Some venrs ago, w hen engaged in the business of wool growing in western New-York, I had : lie largest number of lambs in proportion to the ewes, and the largest and most evenly sized Hook, raised by this method, by a Scotchman, that I ever knew. lie was passing around among the ewes from morning to night, with a quart vessel, like an oil-can, filled with milk, catch ing and feeding every needy or sunn adage that runs, " Well summered is half win tered," and " Well wintered is half summered." It is a wise saying, which we devoutly believe, and if more farmers practiced upon it there would be a great deal more wealth in the farm ing world than now. A STITCH IX TIMF. —The lengthening days and melting snows betoken the coining of Spring. Every fanner rejoices in its coining, lint is every one ready for it ? At the North little or nothing can be done in working the soil, this month, except in the matter of drain ing. But much preparation can be made for Spring work. Implements of all kinds should now be looked over and put in good repair.— Are the plows in proper condition ; and of the harrows are no teeth gone and none loose ? The manure-forks, shovels, spades, hoes, crow bars, cradles, harness, wagons, chains, are they all at home, undercover, and in complete order ? How often are tools lent to neighbors, and not returned till called for from necessity, and then are out of order and must be sent to the shop for repair ? What a loss, then, < f time and patience and neighborly good feeling. Let us also look into the seed department. As grass and clover need an early start.no time should now be wasted in securing good seed. So of wheat and oats, and corn ; now is the time to look them over, and provide for sow ing and planting. Whoever has not goorl seed of every kind he expects to use, should spare no pains or money in securing them. It gives the cultivator no little satisfaction and stlf-re spect to know that he has taken time by the fore-lock, and made all needful preparation for his work in advance. For him, as well as for everybody, it is a good rule to drive one's business and not be driven by it.—" A stitch iu time saves nine"—often ninety-nine. SHOF.IXG HORSES THAT OVER-REACH —"Why not put the front shoes a little further forward and the hind shoes a little further backward ?" Plainly, because that will not increase the speed of the fore feet and retard that of the hinder, which is j 11st what yon want to accomplish.— But to do this, make the toe-calks of the fore feet very low, and set the shoe back as far as possible, with high-heel calks. Then, reverse this method upon the hind bet. Thu, the fore feet will be enabled to get out of the way of the hind-feet, and the clicking and loosen ing of shoes will cease. This will also help the speed of the horse. It was once remarked In the hearing of a little girl of thirteen, that all things came by chance, and the world, like a mushroom, sprang sprang up in a night.

" Having had one of Grover A Baker's Machines in my family f8 . " I lnd a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853.

" If Homer could he'e ailed up from his murky hades,he would sing the advent of Grorer Jc Baker as a more be nignant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smitliv. He would denounce midnight shirt-making as " the dire ful spring of woes unnumbered."— Prof. Xorth.

Patented by SILAS HEWITT, July 14,1557. THIS CHURN is the result of years of experience by a practical farmer, to produce a Churn that has all the advantages of the old Dash Churn, and be a labor-saving Machine. We claim for this Churn, and are prepared to prove by actual demonstration, that it will produce more butter—a better quality- with less time and lesa labor— than any other Churn in market. It is perfectly simple in its construction, not liable to get out of order, and a child can operate on it. It has been thoroughly tested by several hundred farmers in Seneca and adjoining Counties, and its merits fullv established wherever introduced, and ; is pronounced by "all to be one of the greatest improve , ments of the age. ear The following extract from the Seneca Falls papers of May 2t'.th, is a sample of what the " EXCELSIOR CHURN " has done, in competition with other Churns : " A trial between the Smith Chum, of Elgiu, Illinois, (which took the first premium at the State Fair at Buffalo last fall, and has taken the premium at all the Fairs where it has been exhibited) and the Excelsior Ch trn. of this village, took place at Woodraansec'sJHotel, the 20th inst. The cream was taken from the same (vessel, after being stirred up that it might be of the same temperature and quality—one quart at a time—each Churn receiving two gallons. The Excelsior Churn p oduced and gathered the Butter hard and yellmr in six and a half minutes, while the Smith Churn was 12 minutes in producing the Butter, which was soft, white and oily ; and Excelsior Churn produced Twelve Ounces more Butter than the Smith Churn ! The Excelsior Churn then produced thir teen ounces of good Butter from the Butter Milk of the Smith Churn, lieing more than half as much as they got from the cream! The Smith Chum could not produce any Butter from the buttermilk of the Excelsior Churn.' Triafof Churns— Ileport of the Committee. At the trial lietween Smith's Churn, from Elgin,lllinois, and Hewitt's Excelsior Churn. manufactured in this vil lage. which took place at Woodmansee's Hotel, on Wed nesday morning, the following was the result of the trial: Hewit's Churn, 21 lbs.—Butter in 84 minutes. Smith's Churn, 1$ lbs Butter in 12 minutes. About two gallons of Cream was put in each Chnrn. The milk from Smith's Churn was then changed to Hew it's, and thirteen ounees of Butter extracted from it. No Butter could be brought from the milk from the Hewit Churn, which was transferred to Smith's. The quality of Butter from Hewit's Churn was much the best, being of better color, and more solid. A second trial, which was about one-third more cream was put in the Hewit Churn than in the other, resulted very nearly the same as above, Hewit's Churn being shown to be greatly the superior. EDWARD S. LATHAM, I r „ mntSll „ JONATHAN BACKET.J Cummi ' tee - Seneca Falls, May 2!), 1858. All that is asked for this Chnrn is, to let it rest on its own merits—the world is challenge] to produce better. n£~ For particulars for Rights or Churns, address : H. F.
