From the New Genesee Farmer.
On Winter Management of Sheep.
Mr. Boma:— I think so far as I have
observed, with regard to the management
of sheep driving the winter season by ma•
ny farmers, that there is room for some
little improvement as to the manner in
which they are protected from storms and
also the manner in which they are fed.
Perhaps I cannot better give my views of
the treatment of sheep in winter, than by
sending you a short statement of my own
practice upon this subject for a number of
years past. My custom has been to pro
side comfortable shelter for them where
they can be well protected from storms,
separating the lambs and weaker sheep
from the older and stronger ones, and
putting them ;into a yard by themselves
provided with feeding troughs, in which
they are feed halt a gill of corn or peas
per sheep daily, and with hay once a day
but no inure than they will eat clean; and
then they are fed on straw during the day.
The old sheep are fed one gill of corn or
peas daily without any hay, giving what
straw they can eat. I have generally
commenced feeding grain by the middle
of December and continued to feed until
about the first of April. 1 am satisfied
by comparing my sheep with other flocks
of about equal number in the spring, that
it is not only better for the sheep to winter
on hay without grain, but much cheaper.
It will be perceived that the amount of
grain consumed by each sheep, if fed one
hundred and twenty days, would be less
than half a bushel ; for straw which bro't
into the shape of manure by sheep, I con
sider worth more than in any other state,
as there is no other that milt it so fine
and evenly with animal manure, to be
applied to lend in a long and unfermented
state.
Salt should be given regularly once a
week, which conduces much to the health
of sheep. I seldom lose a sheep from my
flock during the winter, which I, attribute
to good sheltering and regular feeding.
It some farmers should not like to be to
the trouble of feeding threshed grain to
their sheep, I would recommend feeding
peas in the vine as I have seen it practised
with good success.
It would appear that there is very little
diversity of opinion in many parts of the
country, will, regard to sheltering sheep
in the winter, as they are seldom provided
with any, except what they can find by
shifting from one part to anothur of a
stock pen, placed upon the most bleak and
windy place on a farm, or changing their
quarters from one side to another of a
barn without shed or hovel attached to it,
to protect them from the peltings of a
storm, as pits less as their owner. The
merciful man will be merciful to his
beasts.
Yours, sr'c
Gentle Means the Best.
The best tamer of coal ts that ever was
known in Massachusetts never allowed
the whip or spar to be used ; and the
horses he tamed never needed the whip.
Their spirits were unbroken by severity,
and they obeyed the slightest impulse of
the voice or rein, with the most animated
promptitude. He said it was with horses
as with children—if accustomed to beat
ing they would not obey without it. But
if managed with untiring gentleness, unit
ed with constant and very equable firm-
ness, the victory once gained over them
was complete.
To Remove Ink Spots.
Wet the place immediately with sorrel
or leminon juice, and rub on it hard white
soap. Ink or iron mould may be removed
by holding over a vessel of boiling water,
and squeezing on the spot juice of sorrel
then rubbing with dry salt.
To Remove Mildew From Linen.
Moisten a piece of soap and rub it thick •
Iy into the part affected; then scrape fine
whitening and rod that in also. Lay the
linnen on the grass, and from time to time
as it becomes dry, wet it a little. If the
s pots are not quite removed repeat the
process.
To Preserve Dread and keep it from
Moulding.
Bread that is kept in a damp place or
nut used, soon after a heavy rain, is apt to
collect a kind of moss or mould. This
can be easily prevented by mixing a small
quantity of compti or arrow root• with
wheaten flour before the dough is ready
for the oven. It is also useful in prepar
ing sea biscut for long voyages.
The above i 4 doubtless a very good
mode— but most house-keepers, and our
selves among the number, are fiurnished
with a better, in the shape of several
hearty girls and buys, who vie with each
other in the very commendable task of
preventing bread and other wholesome
articles of food, from becoming spoiled by
age.—Bost. Pout.
To git ri d of bed and other bugs.—
Gather a handful of smart weeds, boil
in a pint of water, and when cold rub
with the liquid where they frequent, and
they will soon disappear.

Indian Vegetable Pills.
If, during the continuance of storms and
floods, the channels of
OUR MIGHTY RIVERS
become so obstructed as to afford an insuffi -
cient outlet for the superabundant waters,
we can expect nothing less than that the
surrounding country will be
Overwhelmed with the Flood
In like manner with the human body—if
the skin, kidneys and bowels (the natural
outlets for useless and corrupt humors) be
come so obstructed as to fail in affording a
full discharge of those impurities which are
in all cases
THE CAUSE OF SICKNESS,
we surely can expect no other results than
that the whole frame will sooner or later be
OVERWHELMED Pf ITH DISEASE
As in the first place, if we would prevent
an inundation we must remove all obstruc
tions, in order that there may be no hind
rance to the free discharge of the supera
bundanti waters. So, in the second place, f
we would prevent and cure disease, we must
open and keep open, all natural drains of the
body.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills of the
North American College of Health,
will be found one of the best if not the very
BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD
for carrying out this beautiful and simple
theory, because they compleatly cleanse the
stomach and bowels from all bilous humors,
and other impurity, and at the same time
promote a healthy discharge from the lungs,
skin and kidneys; consequently as all the
natural drains are opened,
DISEASE
OF EVERY NAME IS LITERALLY
DRIVEN FROM THE BODY.
U - Caution.—As the great popularity and
consequent great demand for Wright's Indi
an Vegetable Pills has raised up a hest of
counterfeiters, country storekeepers and
agants will be on their guard agninst the
many impostors who are travelling about the
country selling to the unsuspecting a spuri
ous article for the genuine.
It should be remembered that all author
ized agents areprovided with a certificate of
agency, signed by WILLIAM WRIGHT, Vice
Prrsident of the North American College of
Health. Consequently, those who offer In

tificate as above described will be known as

How important it is that you commence
without loss of time with BR ANDRETH
PILLS. They mildly but surely remove all
impurities from the blood, and no case of
sickness can effect the human frame, that
these celebrated Pills do not relieve as much
as medicine can do. COLDS and COUGHS
are more benefiitted by the Brandreth Pills
than by Lozenges and Candies. Very well,
perhaps, as palliatives, but worth nothing as
ERADICATORS of diseases from the human
system. The Brandreth Pills cure, they do
not merely relieve, they cure. Diseases,
whether chronic or recent, intectious or oth
erwise, will certainly be cured by the use of
these all-sufficient Pills.
CURE OF A CANCEROUS SORE.
SING SING, January 21, 1843.
DR. BENJAMIN BRANDRETII:
Honored Sir,—
Owing to you a debt of gratitude that mo
ney cannot pay. I am induced to make a
public acknowledgment of the benefit my
wife has derived from your invaluable Pills.
About three years this winter she was taken
with a pain in her acle - ' which soon became
very much inflamed, and swollen, so mach
that we became much alarmed, and lent
for the doctor. During his atteifflance the
pain and swelling increased to an alarming
degree, and in t h tee weeks from its first
commencing it became a running sore. She
could get no rest at night the pain was so
great. Our first doctor attended her for SW
months, and she received no benefit what
ever, the pain growing worse and the sore
larger all the time. He said if it was healed
up it would be her death, but he appeared
to be at a loss how to proceed, and my poor
wife still continued to suffer the most terrible
tortures. We therefore sought other aid,
in a Botannical doctor, who said when he
first saw it that he could soon cure the sore
and give her ease at once. To our surprise
he gave her no relief, and acknowledged that
it quite baffled all his skill.
'Thus we felt atter having tried during one
whole year the experience of two celebrated
physicions in vain, in absolute despair. My
poor wife's constitution rapidly failing in
the prime of her years from her continued
suffering. Under these circumstances we
concluded that we would try your Universal
Vegetable Pills, determined to fairly test
their curative effects. To my wife's great
comfort the first few doses afforded great re
lief of the pain. Within one week to the
astonishment of ourselves and every one who
knew the case, the swelling and the infla.
mation began to cease so that she felt quite
easy, and would sleep comfortable, and sir,
