Profits of Sheep Husbandry.
L. A. Green, of Gallatin, Tenn., gives the
Tennesseean the following interesting state
ment of his experience in sheep husbandry
this season;
"From 240 ewes I sold 224 lambs for the
sum of $1,219.35, or $5 per head. I have 55
lambs left, worth at a fair price $3 per head,
or $165. I sold the wool for $267.80, making
in all $1,652.15, say in round numbers $1,650
from the lambs and wool. I picked out 46
barren ewes and sold them the first of March
for $5.50 each, making $115 profit, which
added to the above amount makfs the nice
little sum of $1,765.00
Now, I turned theso sheep on my wheat
the 1st of December. I have not fed them a
grain of anything. I took them off my
wheat the 10th of March. The lust piece of
wheat I grazed will make twenty five
bushels to the acre, and it would have made
more but it was badly damaged by the
worms. Now, I don’t think my wheat was
materially injured by grazing, and yet my
whole lantb crop was raised on wheat. I am
sorry to soy the interest lias declined ma
terially in the last three years, Give us a
good dog law, and sheep on every farm in
Sumner county, and you will see more
profit from this than any other kind of stock
in the county; besides a great advantage in
cleaning out weeds and briars on the farm.”

ADJUSTABLE ARCH BAR-SHADE CULTIVATOR,
Equal Draft,
Direct Hitch,
Tho "Arch” Is formed of a straight round bar of wrought iron and two upright*, which are adjustable
laterally upon it; to the lower end* of then© upright* the ends of thcltcnni* are attached, and are therefore,
adjusted witli them. The object of this in to get closer to the young corn, keep the beamn parallel, and In
direct line of draft, an thin In absolutely necessary to successfully use "Rnr-slmrcs” or .Mold Hoards or
secure a steady run. without which, thorough work can not be done.
We warrant It to run steady and do good work In the toughest or hardest soil; requiring hut little eflbrt
to guide, and to he iincqimlcMl in the quality of its work.
The liltcli in directly attached to the ends of the beams, and take** all weight oflT tho homes' necks.
The uprights, besides their lateral adjustment are left to swing hack and forth on the arch-har which
equalizes the draft, thus preserving the line of draft and decreasing the labor of guiding.
The liar shares can he reversed and corn ”lald-by," and when used In combination with tho shovels or
hull tongues, either level culture or an open furrow left, as desired.
