INTERESTING TO FARMERS. I
A l'ubfcriber lately iuggeited the
utility that might result, from a
comparative view of the expences
and pi ofi's, of raisin Horses and
Sheep, and favored us with his cal
cula’ion. It appeals to be a very
nalonatde eflimate of charges, and
the comparative expcr.ces are, in
our opinion, very jultly balanced :
Expcr.ces of raising one Colt, viz :
Finding the mare one win

life cf her and other una- dols.
voidable expences. 40 00
Finding tin* colt till 4 years
old, at 39 dols per year, 120 00
Amount, 160 00
Rilque of the life of the
mare & colt, during the
railing, is worth the in
tend! of the amount for
one year, 9 69
dollars 169 GO
Expenses cf keeping twenty Sheep jor
four years.
Feting 20 iheep 4 years at
2 dollars a year each is
40 dollars a year, and 4
years is dollars 169 00
Tiny will prrbably raise in
the time 80 hmbs, at 2
a llmseach, which ought
to be deduced, ICO CO
Th v I produce annual
ly SO dollars worth rs
w >nl, which will be a
nett gain of 120 00
By this calculation it will appear,
that the horse when raised, rr.uft
fell immediately on riftr.g f< >ur years
old, tor the sum of 169 dollars and
CO cents to make the farmer whole
for the exncnfes of railing him—
And ofcourfe, if he should remain
one year on hand witfvut profita
ble employnu nt, the whole expense
of keeping a full grown horse a
year, fay 60 dollars, mufl be added.
But the business of raffing sheep,
calculated to the lame amount of
txpenfe, refunds the cofl of feeding
and leaves to the farmer a nett pro
fit of 120 dollars. To which may
be added the confiiteration of con
tinual inc.reafe, by keeping them to
any length of time. The advan
tage then in favor of raiftng sheep,
rather than horfcs, is fufficienrly
proven by this estimate. And the
itninetife and irreparable loss to in
dividual., Si the community, which
attends the keeping ol idle horses,
should lead men to pursue a more
rational course. It is unqueftiona
b.y true from the prerriiles, that the
expenses of keeping one idle horse
i i an ordinary life time, fay twenty
years, would be twenty times sixty
or 12<K) dollars—a lum fuffi ient

forever loft. The fame expence
Employed for the famet'cim in raif
tvz sheep, would produce at lead
m/the fame amount in abiolute gain.
* *i he loss attendant on keeping art i
cilt horse, should be added to the
sum which with the fame money
differently applied might be gained
that is 2400 dollars more.—

Extract cf a letter from general Arm

Ith April, 1810.
“The emperor left Paris two
days ago for St. Cloud, whence lie
to Compeigne, where he will
remain till Eaffer. It is not prob
able that I shall have an answer to
my propositions till he returns to
Paris. The day before he set out
he gave me a ship to carry myfelf
and family to the UniteJ States.—
The tninifter recommended that I
should not pin myfelf dawn to a day
as to departure, as circumstances
might make it proper for me to stay
somewhat longer than I new intended.
