agricultural Selection of Breeding Sheep. Persons who have not made a business or study of keeping sheep, are often in doubt what rams to select for the stocks ; and many times crafty men will impose on the credulity of those who ought to know better, and induce them to use grade ani mals. Grade animals and bulls will not transmit their good points to their progeny, with any degree of certainty. Whether it is desirable to select a South-Down, Leices ter, or Merino, it is important to choose a full blooded animal, in order to secure the greatest improvement in the increase of the Hock. The progeny of a full-blooded sire and ewes of ordinary quality, is almost always better than anticipated ; while that of a grade sire with such ewes will almost in variably be inferior to their dams. Most farmers are influenced greatly by the pres ent cost of a good ram, rather than by the prospective profits accruing from the cer tain improvement in their flocks, by procur ing full blooded animals. If a farmer has t hundred good ewes, it will be more pro fitable, whether his object is wool or mut ton, to pay $5O or $lOO for a ram which will be a sure getter of excellent stock, than $2O for a grade animal of equally good form, whose stock will in all proba bility not be equal to himself. Breeders differ in opinion with regard to the most judicious and profitable crosses, not only for the production of wool, but for both wool and mutton. But, if mutton is the primary object, in a flock showing a large infusion of Long-wool blood, a south Down cross will make as profitable mutton sheep as can reasonably be expected, and at the same time they will show a marked improvement in the quantity df wool.— -hould the ewes be of a mongrel breed of fair size and thrift, and the object be to im nrove the fleece, it will be best to use a full blooded American or Silesian Merino ram. It the choice is early lambs for mar ket. a South Down, Shropshire Down, Cots weld, or Leicester ram should be selected, l! the ewes are properly kept during the foddering season, the lambs will be large uul strong, and be ready for market very > arly. Should they be desired for mutton, when o or 4 years old, they will be found to yield quite as large a profit, including the produce of wool, lambs and carcass, as any other class of sheep. Flocks of sheep may be more rapidly improved by the use of good rams than by any other means, provided they have good care, but neglect and wrong treatment will effectually neu tralize all the good a superior animal might do a flock. A mature ram should never run with more than 50 ewes in this season 1-ut the number may be doubled if he is kept confined. According to the common practice, the rams are very well fed with grass, and have grain daily for several days, >; weeks perhaps, before their introduction to the flock : but after that they often re- eeive no grain at all, and sharing the close pasturage with the ewes, get nothing else. >ueh treatment, every sensible man must kin w, is most injurious both to the ram and his progeny. Instead of feeding the rams 1 -s, their feed should be increased, and stteli a variety should be presented that 'hey will be induced to fill themselves and pass several hours ruminating. The rant • .tight io have all the good hay, corn stalks and grass he can cat, with not less grain than is equivalent to a pound of coin meal, mingled with an equal quantity of unbolt • d wheat flour daily, in addition to this he hould have salt and fresh water always la-lore him ll one lias peas or beans the 3' may be fi d instead of meal, after having iii-en soaked 24 hours. If rams will eat t Item, there is no better feed for them es pecially at this season. \\ hen the time of service is nearly pass ed, the rams may have their liberty and run with the Hock, for if a Hock is in good • ■.mdition and has been well watched and ■ •ared for, 100 ewes will all. with rare ex i options, have passed their season success mi 3 with only a single ram, within fifteen 1 twenty days liter' l are several ways ol managing a Luck at this period. I'hat of separating the rams from the ewes every night, and confining them in a small enclosure where tiny cannot hear the flock, is most desirable in either large or small flocks. A very good way is to keep the rani in a small pen in the field with the ewes, which should be 1 oilVt nieiitly near the farmstead. The ram -In tild have ;t cord about 50 feet long at t ached to his hind loot, ly which he may be Listened to a stake whenever lie is let out, which is for the shortest possible time, whenever the Hockmastcr or shepherd 1 oli os a ewe lingering about his enclosure.— I'v following the hints here given, a fine lot ..I vigorous lambs in April will be almost certainly secured. Care of Store Hogs in Winter. Store hogs, especially sliotex, really tight to have warm and diy apartment's during cold weather. Their thin coat of hair affords tlicin but little protection, hence, the importance of warm pig-sties, well littered with dry straw, and so tight that cold winds will not blow directly*"on them. It is far more economical to keep the animals warm in snug and well venti iatcd piggery than by extra feed, and this will promote faster growth, if they are kept comfortably warm by a good building. When a piggery is spacious, with one end pen to the weather so that winds make their sleeping place uncomfortably cold, a portion should be partitioned off with boards having the edges well jointed, and a nar i '\t entrance made at the point least ex posed. Then nail a board 6 or 8 inches high across the bottom of the entrance to keep the straw front being worked out. Let a liberal supply of straw always be provided. It will pay well to cook the feed for store hogs, as well as lor those that are being* lat L tied. Swine will not extract till the nourishment from dry corn unless it is first ground to fine meal : and even then it will be much more economical to scald it. As tanners must necessarily keep a good fire in the kitchen tor a large proportion of the nine dm ig the day*, the expence of cook ing feed for a small herd 0} swine in cold weathci is much less than the gain over h cding* with uncooked food. Raw potatoes are frequently fed to store sliotes. If the- same quantity were boiled, and a few hand fills of meal mixed with them as they are mashed, and warm dish water mingled witli the mass, not more than two-thirds the amount would be required to keep pigs in .1 growing and thrifty condition. The cook ing costs nothing, as a farmer or some of his help can attend to the business when there are no other duties to perform. If grain, is not ground, let it be boiled until ao kernels crack open. Those who have la v r practised cooking feed, will be sur prised to find the marked difference there will la- in the quantity of feed consumed, ai.d the condition of tin l animals. \ INTO is the produce of light minds.

Who sets out second-rate fruit, if he can j get first-rate ? or who sows poor wheat ] if he can get the best ? What is the best I education that a Farmer can have ? Truly, I that which will tit him for most success fully tilling the soil, for business inter-; course with men, for taking a creditable j position in society, for serving best his fel-; lowmen and honoring his God. To help us j to decide what course of mental culture— j for that is what we generally mean by edu cation, —will best accomplish these ends, let us see what men are the best farmers, and what their education has been. As a general thing, we believe that among those farmers who work with their own hands more or less, and are not merely proprie- j tors of estates which they may or may not personally manage,—those not bred to the | business of farming, are by far most sue-1 cessful. Many of them were born on the farm,and others took to farming after learn-1 ing other business. Is then the education which the farmer-boy picks up alter he leaves the farm, while he is at work in the 1 machine shop, shoving the jack-plane, or ; bi hind the counter, the best he can have ? No, indeed : but he gains something which makes him a better farmer than his neigh- j bors. Premising that he' would not have returned to farming, or taken it up if he had not a love for it, he has probably gain ed, in the shop or store, — First, a just es-1 timate of the value of accurate accounts,of knowing the pecuniary success or failure of the simplest ventures ; Second, a high es timation of the value of knowledge of one's business, which makes him read and think, as well as work: Third, liberality in regard to the views and opinions of others. It has made him quick witted also, and not set in j his own way. Besides, contact with men has give him confidence in himself when he knows where he stands, and a lack of con fidence when he is not sure of his ground. Such a man will always succeed as a farm-! or. He may be dreadfully green for a year or two, but in a short time he will beat the i old farmers out and out. It our readers 1 will testify, they will confirm what we say, and point out neighbors of theirs that they used to laugh at for their blunders and city tied farming, which perhaps, was half book fanning and half guesswork, who now are beyond being laughed at ; or at least the laugh is on the other side. Those men have gained their farming education by the hard est. Our boys ought to have a better chance. The Home School is where the hoy gets his first notions and principles, and these will have their effect upon him to the day of his death. The Common School is where the founda tions are laid of whatever literary or hook education the boy ever gains, together with the establishment of correct habits of study and thought, a taste of mathematics,quick ness at figures, etc. The High School, whether i; be Academy, College, or Agricultural College, is suppos ed to bring the young man forward to the threshhold of mature life with knowledge enough to enable him to make a good start, and with sifeh habits of study and thought that he will always value knowledge and seek it. Finally there is - Hie School of Experience, in which we are all pupils and always have been, from the time we first learned we could not reach the moon,and that the candle-flame was too hot a place for our lingers. It is in the school of experience that men educate them selves in their judgment of probabilities, in the estimation of men for what they worth, and in many other things which have a great influence on their success or failure, superiority or mediocrity in whatever busi ness they follow. This last excepted,the other schools men tioned are named in order of their impor tance in forming character and developing the mind. The boy should have the best instruction where and when this develop ment takes place. The best teachers are llO means those who know the most,tinw are those who inspire the child, o youth, with a desire to do best, and to learn most, those who guide the young mind into those channels in which it can and will pursue useful knowledge with zest. ,\ child of fourteen well started, will dr. well under poor teachers, after that. Preparing Poultry for Market- It is too often done thus : The birds are caught, their necks are wrung by holding them by the head and swinging them around once or twice,they are then thrown on the ground to "flop" and bruise them selves until dead ; they are plunged into hot \v;iter and the leathers stripped oil, the skin being often torn, the fat scalded and looking oily, and the whole bird presenting a very uninviting appearance. They are sometimes drawn and mangled in the oper ation ; and there are parties who give them :t good feeding of corn just before killing, so its to sell a little corn at 15 or 2H cents per pound. 1 hey are not bled : tln-v are often packed warm ; they come to the mar ket in poor condition, and sell at the lowest prices. 'Lite fowls should be plump and fat, with empty crops. Catch them quietly ; hold a bird by both wings and tie them ; then tie the legs together and hang them one after another on a pole. As soon its hung up in this way take a sharp knife and ■ cut the heads off, cutting close to the head, and let them hang until all the blood is out of them. Vhile still warm pluck them drg, removing all the feathers, a few at a time, pulling with a slight jerk the way the feath ers lie. I bus the skin will not be torn.— The birds should now be hung till cold, mid then be wiped off with a damp cloth and packed in tight boxes, with clean bright straw next the box all round. If the lot is extra fine, pull the skin back, cut off an inch of tiie neck, tie the skin over it, trim ! off the edges and wash oil'the blood If the poultry is not to be packed,and shipped to market by rail or otherwise, they may be dipped in scalding water for not over 5 I seconds. Ibis shrinks the skin a little, and makes them look plumper ; it melts the fat on the surface and gives the birds a clean, yellow look, which is attractive. Fowls thus jtlumjied. will not keep nor bear park ing as well as those plucked dry. BRAISINO. —Iitis is a French word for a method of cooking meats, which was very common before cooking* stoves were so gen erally used. The vessel employed is the old fashioned hake pan or bake kettle ; a shal low kettle with a cover arranged to hold coals, and is now to be found in many old fashioned kitchens. Meats cooked slowly and for a long time in a braising or bake pan, with the steam confined around tin in, have a richness of flavor not otherwise ob tained. The meat should be well browned, and water enough added from time to time to prevent burning, and form a rich gravy with the juice of the meat. Veal, usually so badly cooked, becomes, when treated in this way, a delicious morsel, and if anyone wishes to know how good ham can be, h t them try a thick slice cooked long and slow ly in the pan. In the most recent French works on cooking, we find the plan follow ed by our grandmothers still recommended, Clotljing.
