Management of Lambs- BY HENRY S. RANDALL. LAMBING. —Lambs should come as early as the weather will permit with reasonable safety, for it is better to lose two in the spring than one the next wiuter. Ewes should have sheltered places to lamb in, which can be closed up and made warm in cold nights. Mechanical assistance ought not to be given in cases of difficult partur ition until a considerable period has elaps ed, and until the ewe begins to exhibit signs of failing strength. It should then be rendered witli great caution and gentle ness ; and if the ewe continues her throes, the lamb should be pulled only during her throes. If the ewe becomes very weak be fore or after lambing, a gill of sound ale will be a benefit to her. If the womb is in verted, cleanse it, if dirty, with tepid wa ter, then wash it with a solution of alum or a decoction of oak bark, and gently return. If again protruded, return it in the same way and take a single stitch with twine tiirough the lips of the vagina, tying it loosely enough to permit the passage of urine. If this does not suffice, tic a waxed cord round the womb and let it slough oil*. MANAGEMENT OF NEW-BORN* LAMBS. — If a lamb can help itself,never interfere with it. It it is weak, hold it on its feet and let it suck. Rubbing it on the rump, loins, &c., with a finger is mistaken by it for the lick ing of its dam, and greatly encourages its efforts. For those cases where the dam has at/ immediate supply of milk the suck ing bottle should be in readiness, with an artificial India-rubber nipple on it ; this ar ticle is made and sold expressly for the purpose. The milk of a new milch cow is alone suitable, and it should be given at its natural temperature. If the lamb is found soon after it is dropped, let it suck as much as it will,and four or five times again during the day and evening. If the lamb has been dropped some hours, and is very hungry, it is uot safe to allow it to fill it self at first. CHILLED LAMBS.— If a lamb is found chilled by the cold—unable to move or swallow, it should at once be put in a bath of water about as hot as can be comfortably borne by the hand, or placed in a warm oven, or in the absence of the proceeding, held over a pan of coals and turned and kneaded by the hands until it revives sufficiently to swallow. Then give it a feed of milk con taining from one-halt to a teaspoonful of gin or other spirits, according to the s ; ze of the lamb and the apparent necessity If a lamb is becoming chilled, but is still able to swallow, the above stated dose will promptly restore it. CONSTIPATION, DIARRIICEA, ETC.— An injection of warm milk, with a sufficient infusion of molasses to give it a chocolate color, is by far tiie safest and most effectual remedy for constipation in young lambs. Hold the lamb tip by the hind feet, so that its fore ones just touch tiie floor, and then with a email syringe administer half a gill or a little more of the above mentioned fluid.— If dung is not soon discharged, repeat the operation. The diarrhoe of a sucking lamb rarely requires attention, but if it does, a ■poonfu! "f prepared chalk in a little warm milk should be given at intervals of a few hours until checked. The first yellow ex crement sometimes adheres about the rent so as to prevent subsequent discharges or render them very difficult. It should be removed and the parts rubbed with dry clay, chalk, or, in the absence of anything better, dirt. If the lamb has difficulty in making water, a little pumpkin seed tea re moves the difficulty. CUTTING TEETIL —If a lamb appears to suck with difficulty or reluctance,its mouth should be examined, to see whether the front teeth are through the gums. If not, and the gums are inflamed and tender, tiny should be opened over the teeth with a sharp knife. SWELLED NECK. — When lambs are born with the glands of the neck enlarged,a strip oi woolen cloth should be bound around the neck and wet a few times a day with a strong solution of camphor. If this is not found effective, wot the cloth with a tinct- i ure of iodine. RHEUMATISM. —Lambs sometimes are born with stiff necks, or their necks become stiff subsequently. Some, particularly about the period of being turned out to grass, be come lame in their legs, hobble about, and in some cases are unable to stand. Put them in a warm, dry place, and give two or three spoonfuls of lard and one of tur pentine. once or twice, as may be required, to each lamb ; rubbing the affected parts with hartshorn or opodeldoc will assist in the cure. TREATMENT OF EWES AFTER LAMBING.—A ewe should not be required to move about much for a few hours after lambing. If her teats are closed against the efforts of the lamb,squeeze them out with the wetted lingers. If they have been out off in shear ing and are grown up, re open them with a needle, followed by a hot knitting needle, inserting neither further than is necessary. The sucking of the lamb will generally keep them open ; but if they become in flamed, the ewe must be held for the lamb to suck, and some cooling lotion applied to the part. GARGET. — It the udder is hard and hot, it should be fomented by frequently and con tinuously applying to it a cloth dipped in hot water. Repeated washings with cold water produce the same effect, but more slowly, and with a greater tendency to dry up the milk. If the lamb is dead,and there are indurated tumors in the udder, apply iodine ointment. DISOWNING LAMBS.—A ewe which disowns In r lamb, or one which is required to adopt! a foster lamb,should be confined alone with I it in a dark place, and, if possible, out of hearing of other sheep, arid she should be | held several times a day for it to suck.— ! Frighten a ewe when with her lamb, 1 j , showing her a strange dog,or a child wear-1 ing a bright colored mantle, sometimes i arouses her dormant maternal instincts. If a ewe's dead lamb is skinned, and the skin | tied on a li\ ing lamb, she will generally readily adopt it. If she hesitates, rubbing 1 gin on her nose and sprinkling it ou the I lamb will fiacilitate the process. IMPORTANCE OF MANURE.— The importance ! of manure to the practical farmer, car. liar-; dly be over estimated. With its use, good farming begins, and in neglect to use it, good farming ends. By cropping a farm without manuring it, the crops are soon diminished in quantity, and the land in val ue. It this process is long continued, the crops will be hardly worth gathering, and the laud becomes a barren waste. T® have i a good larm, without manuring it, is an ut-' tor impossibility. There is no such thing as successful farming, for any great length j i/f time, without the use of manure. This is not theory alone ; but is a fact, that has , "ften been demonstrated. --Rural American, j M E OYSTER- To thi-e grated parsnips ! - lA i >., uU?n i ggt ( one teacupful </ ereatj •* tab.'espoonfuj of butter ' tints Übk-spovofo.* of fiouj, a little salt', iiiC ti v Uh-ui tA.\ cc-Lue U-- giiddle '.aii a On the Wheat Plant -1 When a kernel of wheat germinate*, it remains where it is deposited in the soil, and sends out various primary roots, and produces the stem that is destined to shoot upwards. If the kernel is buried five or six inches deep, the stem will be slender, and the leaves will not attain the rank and luxuriant growth which is seen when the seed is planted from one to two inches deep in the soil. The substance composing the kernel is transformed into the primary roots and the stem. If the kernel is small, and is buried deep,there will not be enough nourishment in it to enable the stem to reach the surface of the ground. When this is the case the roots will cease to grow, and die before coming up. The plant be gan to live, but before its leaves were pro duced, it died. Sometimes there is sub stance enough kernel to form the stem and a set of large leaves, before the roots draw much nourishment from the soil When it is seen that the plant grows but little for a long time after it has come up, the indica tion is, that it was buried to deep.o When wheat is covered half an inch or an inch deep, there will be a joint of the stem just below the surface of the grouud ; and at this point secondary roots will shoot out ou every side. But these do not grow much the first season unless the grain is sown early in the autumn. When it is sown there will be but few plants having more than primary roots. The next season, however, these plants, the primary roots of which are an inch or two below the surface of the ground, seud out a new system of secondary roots. These spread out hori zontally, while the primary ones strike downward into the depth of the soil. Where the Bubsoil is loose, the roots frequently strike down three or four feet deep. When the grain is deposited one or two inches deep, the primary and secondary roots are near each other ; and both being below the surface of the ground, they are not so lia ble to be injured by the freezing and thaw ing of wiuter and early spring. If we understand the nature and growth of the wheat plant, we shall perceive that there is an advantage in drilliug in the grain, in preference to sowing it broadcast, and harrowing it in. Lime as a Manure. Nearly every plant and vegetable has a portion of lime in its composition, and from this fact the necessity of keeping up a sup ply of it in the soil is apparent. A certain portion of it is necessary in every soil— more thau this is useless. In some cases it has a remarkable effect ; in other no good results arc visible. Its effects are not im mediate, but are lasting,especially, on land laid down for permanent pasture. It pro motes the growth of clover, and grasses of every kind, and adds to the size and vigor of root crops. A small quantity of liino mixed with muck or rich soil of any kind, will have a better effect than a much larger quantity applied without the addition of any sub stance. Professor Johnston says, "Lime acts in alteration which is simple and eas ily understood ; but it is the cause of chem ical changes which are really obscure, and are as yet suspeciible of only partial expla nation. Ist. It supplies a kind of inorganic food, which appears to be necessary for the heal thy growth of all our cultivated plants. 2d. It neutralizes acid substances which are naturally formed in the soil, and decom poses, or renders harmless, other noxious compounds which arc not unfrequeutly with in the reach of the roots or plants. 3d. It changes the inert vegetable mat ter in the soil so as gradually to render it useful to vegetation. 4th. It facilitates or enables other useful compounds, both organic and inorganic, to be produced in the soil, or so promotes the decomposition, of existing compounds as to prepare them more speedily for entering in to the circulation of plants." Linn exists in clover and wheat, turnips, oats and maize, and in almost every plant. In nature it mostly exists as a carbonate, that is in conjunction with carbonic acid. Sinclair says that the saving of labor alone would be sufficient to induce a farmer to lime his land, were no greater benefit derived from the application than the op portunity thereby gained of working it more easily and in a more perfect manner.— Wes tern Rural. KF.EP THE BEST STOCK. —An exchange truthfully says ; "Some farmers have a habit of selling their best stock ; and keep ing the poorest to breed from. If a farm, r has a good cow, she is worth as much to keep as to sell. The same applies to all other stock. The rule should be, keep the best and sell the poorest. We will illus trate a case as follows : Farmer A has a cow that gives 20 quarts of milk a day, from which 9 lbs of butter are made in a week, worth 20 cts. a pound. He also has a cow that gives 10 quarts, from which 4 pounds of butter only can be made in a week. One cow he values at SBO, and the other at 40. He sells the 80 cow and keeps the other for his own use. Now let us see how the account will stand in regard to the profits from these cows. The best cow pro duces 9 lbs. of butter a week,say from May first to Dec. Ist—3Bl weeks—274| lbs. at 30 cts., SB2 35. The other cow produces in the same time 122 lbs. of butter, at 30 cts. amounting to only S3O 00, wliicli is $45 05 profit less than the best cow affords. It costs, in this case, the same to feed each cow, and it is safe to say, that the advan tage in keeping good cows over poor ones is not improperly shown in the above state ment. A farmer actually throws away from $25 to 40 each season, when he sells a first-rate cow,and keeps a poor one in her place. WHEN TO SOW GYPSUM.—A given amount of gypsum will produce a much better yield of clover when applied after the leaves are hilly developed. The reason is obvious j the plaster sticks to the leaves of the plant, which, as before stated, are giving off car bonic acid. This acid has a stronger affin ity for lime than the sulphuric acid has,and accordingly takes the place of the latter, which is set free and absorbed by the plant. The carbonic acid and the lime from car bonate of lime falls to the ground and ben efits vegetation. This also explains the fact that plaster produces a better effect if applied while tho clover or other crop is wet or damp. I AKM ACCOUNTS.- -The editor of the Work ing Farmer writes : \ou can find no more efficient means of cultivating yourself, than to write down daily, or weekly a description of your cul tivation of your fields. If your hands are so hard you can't write, it is a sign that you use them too much, and that again, is a sign that the head is used too little. Be able a year from to-day to tell how much your farming for 18<56 costs you, and how much the proceeds of your work are worth. Every succeßsful merchant takes an inven tory at least once a year, and every farmer 'ju/jht to do the same. fjatfcroare. jTARDWARE.
