EARN, SURDS AND HOUSEHOLD
The following statements are con
densed from a report made by Hr. C.
Howard. of Bedford, England, before
the London Farther's Club:
1. Leicesters cut a good fleece of wool,
• upon an average of 7 pounds each, and
weight at 14 or 16 months old, from 9 to
10 stones each.
2. Dotswolozl average, when fit for .
butchering, at , l4 or 15 months old, from
12 to 13 stonea l and the weight of wool
,
3f
the
whole dock approaches to 8 pounds
each.
3. Lincolns are not generally fit for the
butcher at 14 or 15 months old, but they
are kept until .they are 22 or' 28 months
yid, when their weight Will be from 30 to
140 pounds per quarter; and they cut' a
second fleece / weighing from 10 to 14
podnds. The weight of wool of an en
tire flock, under fair average manage
menyis about eight and a half pounds i
~ each. 1
4. Shropshires, ;as yearlings, but from
five and a half to seven pOtuads of wool,
and if they have been well kept will
weigh from 16 to 18 poundx per quarter,
but they are not.calculated to come out as
yearlings, and are more frequently run
DII until the following Christmas or sec
ond year's clip, when they can be made
twenty-five or thirty pounds per quarter.
5. Oxford Downs (of which Mr. How
ard has been for many, years a distin
guished . breeder) generally drop their
lambs in the month of February, and at
13 to 14 months old they are ready for
market, weighing upon an average ten
stones each, with a fleece varying trom 7
to 10 pounds. The ewes are good moth
ers, and produce a great proportion of
twins,
SUGAR FOR HORSES.
A gentleman in New York is: the pos
sessor of a $l,OOO horse, whose organ for
3 .pprobativeness is so prominently active
:hat he can be coaxed, but rarely driven
_sgainst his will. When the considerate
owner enters the stable the horse greets
him with a hearty whinny, his only lan
guage, which is equal to a cheerful ex
-
dess toio a n of
lump '
of t.
loaf He is at
w once treat-
sugar,which the
beautiful and sagacious creature knows
is usually carried in a vest pocket, for he
rubs his nose directly in there. On re
turning from a drive he expects two
lumps. As two are invariably forthcom
ing when unharnessed, it is unmistake
able evidence to the horse that his con
. duct and efforts were satisfactory. The
sight of a whip to that animal would be
: an insult and an outrage to his affection
ate regard for one who looks carefully to
;his health, security and comfort. Such
an instrument of - barbarity does not be
long to the good man's carriage, and
may. God speed the incoming day when
.they will only be seen in museums, to if
iustrAte the •conditions of countries that
ultiniately became Christianized.
GREASING WAGONS.
Few people fully appreciate the import
- nnce of thoroughly lubricating the axles,
etc., of wagons and carriages, and fewer
-know what are the best materials and the
best methods of applying them. A well
made wheel will endure common wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is
;taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of grease; but if this matter is
not attended to, they will be used up in,
, •
five or six years. Lard should never
used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the
pub, and work its way out around the
tenons of the spokes, and spoil the wheel.
Tallow is the best lubricator for wooden
axle-trees, and castor oil for iron. Just
greAse enough should• be applied to the
spindle of a wagon to give it a light coat=
ing; this is better than more, for the sur
plus put on will work out at the ends,
a d be forced by the shoulder -bands and
t-washe4 into the hub around the out
l.
side of the boxes. To oil an axle-tree,
first wipe the spindle clean with a cloth
wet with spirits of turpentine, and then
apply a few drops of castor oil near the'
shoulders and end. One tea-spoonful is
sufficient for the whole.
CROSS BRED POwLS..
It is a well known fact that from a first
, cross between animals of a different
breed, or between a pure bred animal
on the one side and one of mixed blood
,on the other, we often obtain animals of
much individual excellence, perhaps sur
passing either parent in desirable quail
ties. It is also known that, ordinarily,
- such an animal is comparatively
worthless for breeding purposes. We
,think these rules apply to fowls as fully
as to larger animals, and that farmers
might use them to advantage. A cross
upon common fowls by the use of a cock
of acknowledged merit, and of merit in
.the direction in which the common stock
'in deficient, often might produce fowls
- 'which either as egg producers or for the
table, would equal any. And table fowls
'of perhaps unequaled merit can be pro
duced by crossing two pure but entirely
distinct breeds.— Western I?ural,

A NEw Yons paper justly laments the
Sacrilegious levity which applies to
churches such nickntimes as the follow
ing: Dr. Bellows' Church, in New York,,
is known by three names --"The Church
of the Holy, Zebra;" "The Beefsteak
Church," and "The Church of the Holy
Gridiron." This building has a striped
appearance. The Collegiate Reformed
Church, New York, has a large metalic
rooster for a weather vane, and is hence
called "The Church of the Holy
Shanghai." Jay Cooke's Church, at - Put•
in-Bay, on Lake Erie, — Is termed "The
Chuich Of the Holy Flve-TlVenties."" A.n
Episcopal church in Twenty-ninth street,
Is a. long, low, straggling edifice, sur.
rounded by trees, and therefore is even
alvely known as "The Church of the
Holy Grasshopper," and also of the
"Holy Cucumber Vine." A low roofed,
sombre, circular Unitarian Church in
Brooklyn is known as "The Church of
the Ho ly Mud Turtle?' To which list
may be added the "Church of the Hcily
Elevator;" in Milwaukee, and the
"Church of the Holy Bootjack" (Bishop
Whitehouse's) in Chicago.
them green leaves of sage, or tansy, and
sprigs of southernwood should be laid—
replaced with fresh ones when dry. The
legs of these tables should be set in pans
of water, to be kept filled`during the sum
mer; this water and the leaves will be the
destruction of red emmets, black ants
and sometimes 'larger vermin. Keeping
wood in the cellar often brings insects
there.
COMFORTATILE quarters and good foYd
are of more Importance in the management
of swine than is generally supposed. Salt
and sulphur in small quantities prevents
kidney worm, and corn soaked in very
strong ley cures it. Hogs require sul
phur, and m the winter season, carbon;
it is a good plan therefore, to supply
them with soft cold in the winter time
which contains both ingredients, and in
the summer plenty of wild mustard will
fill the bill.
THE Journal of Agriculture has a seri
, Bible article urging the importance of
farmers keeping accounts with their
farms. Many farmers are not able to tell
whether a given crop is produced at a
profit or loss.
THE Western Farmer objects to the
practice of topping corn, believing it much
better to cut the stalks near the ground,
thus saving nearly the whole stalk for
fodder.
To Kra. cockroaches, take equal parts
of carbolic acid and powdered camphor;
mix, and paint cracks and spots where
they hide. The vermin come out to cer
tain death:lotion.
THE farmer who obtains from the field
not - properly fertilized ten bushels of
grain, when by manuring he might have
obtained twenty, is selling his labor at
half its value.

BYRLP, bEAWIIIIN TONIC AND

Liver Complaint and. Xll
if taken accord
ing to directions. They are alethree to ISe taken
at the sametime. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the liver and put it,to work; them the appetite
comesb goo, th e thud digests and makes good
o; the pablent begins to grow In flesh; the
diseased clatter ripens into the lunge, and the
Patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Ph iladelphia,owes bin unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary Consuption. The Pul
l:ionic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
tangs, nature throws it off by an eiti.y expectora
tion, for wheu the phlegm and atter Is ripe a
alight cough will throw it offthe patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
T, do this, the Seaweed !lonic and Mandrake
Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ousts of the
gall bledder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
Is soon relieved: the stools will slerw what the
Pills can do: nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly.po'son wkich Is very dan
gerous to use .un.ess with great care,) that will
unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint le one of the most,prorninent
:muses of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a g entle ' stimulant
and - alterative , and the alkali In the Seaweed,
stomachis preparation is made of, assists the
to tnrow out the gastric Juice to dissolve
the food with the Puim onic Syrup, and it Is made
into good blood without fermen tation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physiclaies do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do too much: they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop derangeeats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they the whole digestive powers. lock
ing up thesecret.ons, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not try to
I stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Re
move the Cause, and they will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump,
tion. Liver Compliant, Dytpepsia, Catarrh;
Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and
stomach are made healthy..
If a person has consumption, of course the
longs in some way are diseased, eitner tubercles,
abcesses. bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion.
or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fait
decaying. In such cases what must be done? It
is not only the lungs twit are wasting, but It is
the whole body. The stomach and liver havelost
their power to make blood out of fo; d. Now the
only chance is to take Dr. Schenck's three medi
cines, which wail bring apt tone to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, I[loll digest
easily and make good biodd; then the 'patient be
gins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. Tb/S ii the
- only 'way to cure Consumption.
When there Is no lung disease and only laser
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mendrake Pills are a ufficiene. w ithout
