    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

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.

rp\VKNTV-FIVE YEARS EXPERIENCE
.J. IN DENTISTRY— J. S. SMITH, M. D., would re
spectfully inform the inhabitants ol Bradford County
'hat he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y where
he has been in the practice of his profe.-sion for the past
four years. He would say that from his long and suc
cessful practice of 2.5 years duration, he is familiar with
all the different styles of work done in anv and all Den
t 1 establishments in city or country, and" is better pre
pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to
do work the best adapted to the many and different
cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist,
as he understands the art ol making his own artificial
teeth, and has facilities for doing the same. To those
requiring under sets of teeth lie would call attention to
his new kind ol work which consists ot porcelain ior
both plate and teeth, aud forming a continuous gum. It
is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much
better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work.
Those in need of the same are invited fo call aud exam
ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often
t mes for life. Chloroform, ether, and ••Nitrous oxide"
administered with perfect safety, as over lour hundred
patients within the last four years can testify
I will he in Towanda from the 15th to .30th of every
