fratdSheep for’lleavy Fleece.
There is much said about ewes.being
too fat to breed well. In my experience
of twenty years I have never seen any
thing that led me to think so, providing
the flesh was put on with good pasture
during the summer, and a few roots
with good hay in the vriutcr. Iho fat"
ter the sheep becomes under such fir—
cuuistances the s msrc valuable I consider
them. There is no time in the year
when it pays better to feed small allow
i.ee of grain daily than in the lull, af
ter the food gets frozen, and it is not
neceseary to bring the flock to the
barn.
It is an old saying that “ sheep well
Novembered are half-wintered. Keep
the ewes fat and the lambs will be fat
and the fleeces heavy. I do not say
that it is better to have the lambs come
early or late, but l do say it is best to
have them fat; then early or late, they
are saleable. All ewes that, with good
•are, will not raise a lamb and shear four
pounds of washed wool should be sold.
1 have them in my'flock that will shear
nine pounds and raise a pair of twins,
and it costs no more to keep one, than a
sheep that shears hut three pounds. I
think that no one will hear the man who
keeps his flock in this way, complaining
because Ins sheep are all “ run out,” and
do not pay him, and the like.
Ticks must be kept out of the flocks ;
they are the worst enemy of the sheep.
If they are not killed they will destroy
the sheep. For killing them I have
tried nothing better than tobacco juice.

Hog Cholera.
A writer in the Indiana Farmer of
November 20th, says:
Some fifteen years ago tho hog chol
era or something of the kind prevailed
in this vicinity to an alarming extent,
some of us loosing heavily, 4 hey were
stock hogs. It being in the latter part
of winter, as a matter of course, lor self"
interest I was making every inquiry
that I could for a remedy, I finally met
with an old gentleman who lived near
Oxford Ohio, who was a large hog raiser,
lie told me there was no need of having
hog clielcra, or in fact any other disease
among hogs. In proof of which he said
lie hud kept hiVhogs perfectly- healthy
for a number # of years ;*he did hot ..use
medicine but simply a preventive’, and
a simple one it was. He fed all the ash
es that was made at the house the year
round, feeding it,dn‘c<Vt and if he
had as many hintdred, he would
buy intro ashes or soap and give them,
and said he thought lie had not a sick
hog since he commenced thtf practice.
The remedy wa§ so simple and easy of
course I tried it and to my satisfaction.
3Jy experience has proved about the
same not having had even a sick pig af
ter it got big enough to eat corn or
slop. I throw the ashes in tho slop
troigh or where I feed and put salt on
it; dr if yon have a slop cistern put
some ashes-in it with bran.

Ten CiJootl Maxims.
1. I have gone into farming to make
it pay.
2. This crop shall be good, but the
next shall be better.
3. The soil shall be kept up, and if'
possible, made better every year.
4. I shall endeavor to find a market
for such crops as draw least upon the fer
tility of the soil.
5-. A proper rotation of crops is a mat
ter of grent importance to the progres
sive farmer.
G. Useful knowledge is never dear at
any cost, provided it is gennine; yet it
need not be expensive,
7. An attractive home is one among
tho best things a farmer can provide for
his children.
3. A mind well stored with practical
knowledge is worth more to the young
person just starting out in the world
than a princely e tate.
9. A small library of useful books at
the farm house has saved many a young
man from becoming a prodigal son.
10. The man, though “born of poor
parents,” if possessed of average capaci
ties and perseverance, has become rich
There is little excuse for an industrious
frugal, persevering and progressive far
mer to remain pool*' —. Rt oyressive Far
mcr.
Domestic Comfort. —It is curio*;?
to learn how long it took mankind to
disevoer the m >st obvious coveniences of
civilized life. Smchb Panza called
down blessings on the man who invented
sleep. Professor Fulton tells us that one
of the greatest improvements introduced
by the Greeks into the art of sleeping
was the practice of undressing hefori
going to bed —a thing unheard of until
hit upon by their inventive genius,
liven now there are nations who ncvei
enjoy the luxury of taking off theii
clothes at night.
At this season of colds it may be use*
ful to know that hoarseness is relieved
by using the white of an egg, thorough
ly beaten mixed wvUi lemon juice and
'sugar. A teas^omifuHaWfi‘occasional

cups of cornmeal, three of rye, one of
