Cure of Sheep the Suminer
Months.
A flock of slieep require but little caro
during the summer months, except tnat
they have plenty of good feed and salt,
and are watched to sec that none of them
flet sick or diseased. The principal
work to be done in this season is to raise
ft suitable quantity of rcot*,&c.,and to cut
at the proper season, and well euro and
store the necessary supply of hay nucL
grain. Hoots, apples and pumpkins ar,
necessary to some extent in the winter
not cnly on account of the nourishment
they contain, hut to supply the lack of
green feed and to keep the sheep in a
healthy condition.
Tho cutting of the hay in proper sea
son and well curing and storiug the same
Is one of the great essential points in
sheep husbandry, If from any cause
we fail to do this, our sheep tho next
spring, are usualy poor and weak, and
we have bud luck in raising lambs, the
sole causa of which is, that tho sheep
during the winter have been eating poor
hay, and endeavoring to obtain
from it the necessary amount of nour
ishment which tho hay did not contain.
Coarse and rank timothy maxes fair
sheep hay, if it is cut a few days before
it begins to blossom and is well cured.
Nearly all kinds of low land and swamp
hay is good chcop hay if cut in right
season and well Sheep prefer a
variety of good hay instead of being con
fined to one kind only.
Lambs should be weaned when they
are four months old, and turned into
good feed If they are fed daily,in nddi
oddition to good grass and hay, one pint
of oats and shorts apiece until they are
turned out to grass tho next Spring,
they will make a good start terwards
making sheep with good constitutions.
I believe that, if we would raise sheep
with good constitutions, we must supply
them liberally during growth with that
kind cf food that will famish them
with the necessary amount of bones and
muscle.
Sheep, and lambs in particular should
bo housed during the cold storms in the
Fall and be fed with hay, which they
should learn to eat before they are de
prived of grass. All kinds of sheep
and breeding ewes in particular should
come to the barn in goed condition in
the Fall. This is nece sary in order
that they may be able, to well develop
their lambs. AH kinds of sheep should
be allowed to run out upon the ground
daily in the late Fall and early Winter
as long as the ground is bare. This is
necessary for their exercise which pro.*
motes health, strength and vigor. A
reasonable amount of exercise is neces
sary for sheep during tho entire Winter
and Srring. Sulphur and ashes
should be fed to tho sheep with ttieir
salt during the Winter. Sulphur pro
motes he .Hh and is offensive to ver
h is are also essential for breeding
I presume some of you have
cn lambs that, when first dropped,
were strong and their darns gave a good
quantity of milk yet in a few days the
lambs would droop and finally dij.
If you were to open the stomach of such
Dmbs, in somo eases you would find it
had distended with a hard curd, whim
was the cause of their aeatli. The rem
edy for this is to feed the breeding ewes
with somo kind of a mild alkali like
ashes for some time previous to their
lambs being dropped.
There arc various diseases which
Cieep and lambs somtimes have, and are
troubles to encounter in breeding sheep.
There is a cause for all of these. It
should be one of the studies of sheep
breeders to learn wbat those causes are
and avoid them; when we do that we
will have good luck in sheep husbandry

Preserving Smoked Meats In
Summer.
We have been asked to give
directions by which a farmer having no
tight smoke-house may preserve hams
bacon and smoked beef through the
Summer from the attacks of the hateful
flics.
We do not consider the smoke house
as ordinarily built, to be best place to
preserve cured meats. Our July and
August suns-are generally so hot as to
causo the fat parts to melt more or less
and-this destroys the integrity of the
whole.
The very best we know is to wrap the
meat in thick brown paper and enclose
each piece separately in sacks made to
fit. Sew them tight; dip them
■i ; a preparation of slacked lime,
of the consistency of ordinary paint. —
Then the pieces may be packed in bar
rels, with plenty of ashes, or butter,
pounded charcoal, and kept in a cool,
well-ventilated cellar, or in the coolest
place in the barn.
Another plan is to wrap in paper os
before directed, then in on outer layer
ad pack in barrels with good absorb
ent.
Still another plan is,after wiapping
in thick brown paper to pack in barrels
with plenty ot dry cut straw, examining
thorn occasionally to see they do not
mould, if the weather is damp for any
considerable length of time. By this
plan, however, it is difficult to keep
the meat from contracting mould if en
tirely excluded from light and air, where
light and air may enter insects and
moulds are pretty sure to follow.

THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
SEWiNr, Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work.
is fast winning favor in the household, a s
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such a
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. Wc claim and can show that
it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. it is remarkable, not
only for the range and variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, line or evarse,
making the inter-clastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch ,
and,* n a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate lingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical macliines for manufi cturing pur
poses, some dealers, using “ the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this iu trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of pr ecise action at any speed ; ca
pacity fore in ge and variety of work, fine
or coarse —leaving all rivals behind it.
Sewing Machine Sales 0f1874.
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that our sales for that year
amounted to 211,607 machines, being a
large increase ever the sales of the previ
ous year. The. table shows that our sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,852
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of any other Com
pany.
It may be further stated that the sales of
1873, as compared with the salor of i872,
show a relatively large increase beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we sold 45,000 more machines than
any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the
sales were
113,254 Machines In Excess of Our
Highest Competitor.
And in 1974 our sales were
148,852 Machines More Than
Any Oilier Company.
OFFICIAL FETORT.
The following is a correct report of tho
sales of sewing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of the figures will
show that the “SINGEIi” have largely in
creased each year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the .pales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always has its re
ward.”
