IT arm M atters. 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 Cor. New England Fanner. 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.” Sewing Machine Sales for 1874. Machines sold.
