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. Cor. Country Gentleman. 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.
