Fresh Manure Und for Potatoes,
“J. It, f J\,” Palmyra, 0.— Fresh
manure is hurl ful to potatoes. This
crop needs old, well-rotted manure,
or the tubers are apt to be scabby,
and to be infested with white worms.
Fresh manure may be used for corn
without any ill effects. The corn
rather likos it, There aro no jiota-
' t#es so clean und free from blemish
as those grown with the artificial fer
tilisers,
Washing Wheep.
Very few persons know how to
properly wash sheep. Having for
many years had the carcof 2,000 head,
it was desirable to come at the very
host manner of conducting this im
portant operation. A great many
different plans were tried, till at.last
I was taught that which I now de
scribe,^l>y un old Scotch shepherd. 1
have seen it nowhere else in hho, and
ns it is ho much more eflleicnt than
other ways, and at, the same time
easy for the sheep'and convenient for
the washer, it ipny be worth while to
describe it,
Hut first lot us consider what hap
pens when sheep are washed In the
Oplnmon way by hand-rubbing, nrm-
rtibbing,‘dr elbow-rubbing. As the
lleeee grows it gets into the way of
opening iiito crearos, forming rings
of wool an inch or so wide running
around the body. If a slice]) at wnsli-
ing-tiino doubles to the left,.approach
ing its head to its tail, thosq open
ings or ureaseH in tho wool will he
disclosed on its right sido, l bo partings
marking the wool into the rings I have
spoken of, 1 f thpplroeivphices ituel|i)i L
this posturo twenty times the wool
will always part in tho sumo places.
Now, if a sheep bo taken into tho
water und tho wot lloeco squeezed,
pressed, or rubbed, tho natural part
ings of the llocoo aro closed up, the
wool becomes matted together, tho
flow of the water is impeded or ob
structed altogether, and uo amount
of squeezing or motion .will suffice
to cleanse the wool as desired. More
over, the wool will very often remain
matted together after having boon
shorn, presenting in tho floeco an
unsightly appournaco.
My S^fl'h friend called his meth
od tho plan of washing by rolling.
Having got Ins sheep into water of
proper depth as quietly as possible,
the wuslvov turns it upon its buck,
pusses his arm under tho sheep’s head
und grasps its nose firmly with
the right hand. With tho loft
ho takes hold of both- fore
legs, and swaying his person slightly
to tho left, ho rolls tho sheep over to
tho loft side; then ho rolls it to jtho
right, arnVso on until tho water comes
from the sheep perfectly clear. The
motion will |>o found a very easy one
for the washer, and a kindly one for
the sheop. Fifty or sixty rolls will
thoroughly wash any sheep; forty to
* fifty usually is enough. As the sheep
is rolled backward and forwnhl, the
water is forced freely through the
natural partings ami through nil
parts of the tleeoe, and tvs the wool is
not matted sa as to obstruct tho flow
of water, it become* thoroughly
cleansed. I generally place tvs many
washers in the stream as I have hun
dreds of sheep la bo washed in'any
one day.
The catcher on shore hands the
eheep to t he man lowest down stream ;
he passes it to tho man next up stream
to him. The best man is stationed
at tho outcomo furthest »p the stream.
All t he sheep pass through his hands.
When ho is satisfied that « slteep is
well washed he lets it go to shore and
roaches for the sheep in tho hands
of the man next below him.
Ho takes tl\o sheep of the
man below him, and so on. In this
way a hundred sheep for tho man
von bo washed during tho time it is
proper for a man to remain in the
water, "
A bright clear day should be cho
sen for the washing.—.1 reins V.

A Polniifl-CTiinn Record.
