HUMOROUS* Did Hot Wear Books. ] Quito a good story is going j the rounds of Saoraraonto on tlie i subject of socks. There are quite ] a number of eccentric statesmen . in Sacramento, and among other ? eccentricities it < was firmly be- , lieved that one of these scorned ( the idea of wearing socks. To ] eluciduto this momentous question | was the desire of several fellow* ( statesmen. So two grave and reverend seignors came together and discussed the question. The first, whom for brevit's sake we , will call Smith, affirmed that , Johnes (the statesman) did not wear socks, while Brown declared that having slept with Jones, he knew that he wore socks. The upshot was that a $20 piece was pnt up by Brown and Smith res* pectively and deposited in the hands of one of the sergeants at- , arms. Now. Brown was in doubt , on the propersitioo, eo lie went to Jones and stated the issue. " By , George," replied Jones, " x'oa're a foner. I don't wear socks.1'? , his caused the confideut Brown to go down in his boots; hut quickly rallying, he said : M Well, , inow, I can't afford to lose that $20. Tell you what I'll do?I'll in with you, and we'll divide j (She <coin." Jones agreed, and the pair went up on the dome, where AJroww drew oit one dooc ana pan- , off one sock. Jones pulled off a , boot and encased bis horny foot in . ithe sock, and both descended to , the-lower regions. Jones -quietly , went to his desk, and in an instant 1 was immersed ia the interest of 'his constituents. Brown wont to Smith aad suggested that, after adjournment, Jones be interview ( ed on the eock question. Smith , agreed, and the seargeanNat arms ( was chosen as refferee. After ad- , journment, the party hied themselves off to a committee room, and innocent like, Brown informed , Jones of the terms of the wager, , and Jones was requested to show , a foot. Suddenly lie cast am anx- ; ious look toward the smiling . .Brown and turned paAe. He bad , forgotten upon whtcii foot be bad ' (placed the sock 1 With a weti- , feigned look of anguish, he trast- | ed to luck and presented tbe right boot, which the sergeant at arms , quickly pulled off, and la, and be- . bold, there was nary sock upon , it f "The wrong foot, by <5eorgeJ" exclaimed the owner of { the boot. Brown retired discom- | lited, and tbe quartette were abort- i ly afterwards seen at Swimley'a 44 taking it straight.** Jones re tains the eock as a memento, and to jog his memory on future occasions. ? ?? ???

AGRICULTURAL* i Spring Management of SheepAs soon as warm weather approaches and grass appears, sheep become restive and impatient for 1 the pasture. This instino* should be repressed till the ground has become thoroughly dry, And the K-iss has acquired substance.? ey ought, moreovei*, to be provided for the change of food by the daily oso of roots for a few days before turning out. The tendency to excessive purging which is induced by the first spring feed, may be checked by housing them at night and feeding them for the first few days with a little sound Bweet hay. Tbey must bo providod with pure water and salt; for, though tbey may do tolerably well without either, yet thrift and freedom from disease are cheaolv se~ cured by this slight attention. As to water, it may be said it is not indispensable in the summer pastures, since tbo dews and the Bncculence of the feed answer as a substitute ; but a wide experisnoe having demonstrated that free access to it is advantageous, particularly to those having lambs, it should be considered a matter ot importance on a sheep farm so to arrange the pastures, if possible, as to bring water into each of them. Salt is indispensable to the health, especially in the summer. It is common to give it once a week, while they are at grass. It is still better to give them free access to it, at all times, by keeping it ia a covered box, open on one side. A large hollow log, with holes cut along the side for the insertion of tli6 heads of the animals, answer very well A sheep hav iag free access to salt at all times, will never eat too mnch of it: and it will take its supply at enci times and m such quantities as Nature demands, instead of eatiug of it voraciously at stated period*, as intermediates abstinence will stimulate it to do. When salt is fed b?t once a week, it is better to have a stated day, so that it will not be forgotten; and it is well to lay tie salt on flat stones?though if laid in little bandfuls on the grass, very little of it will bo lost. Dry, sweet pasture, and such as abound in aromatic and bitter plants, are best snited for sheepwalks. No animal, with the exception of the goat, crops so great a variety of plants. They eat many which are rejected by the horse and ox, which are even es sential to their own wants. In this respect they are valuable assistants to the husbandman, as they feed greedily on wild mustard, burdock, thistles, march mal lows, milk weed and various other offending plants; and the Met ino exceeds the more recent breeds in the range of his selections. In pastures, however, where the dry stalks of the burdock, or the houDd's-tongue or tory-weed have remained standing over the winter, the burs are canght in the now long wool, and, if they are nnmeroub, the wool is rendered entirely unmarketable and almost valueless. Even tho dry prickles of the common or Canada thistles, where they are very numerous, get in the neck-wool of sheep, as they tbrosl their heads under and among them to crop the first scarce feed of the northern spring; and, independently of injuring the wool, they make it difficult to wash and otb? erwiee handle the sheep. Indeed, it is a matter of the soundest policy to keep sheep on the cleaneet pastures, those free from these and similar plants; and in a region wnurw mej are pastured tue year round, thev should be kept from contact with them for some months paior to shearing. Many prepare artificial pasture* for their flocks, which may be done with a number of plants. Winter rye, or wheat sown early in the season, may be fed off in the fall, without Injury to the crop; and, in the following spring, the rye may be pastured till the sulks shoot up and begin to form a head. This affords ao early and nutritions food. Corn may be sown broadcast, or thfaklw ??? ?J , T-y ".mo, WIU either fed off in the fields or cnt carried to the sheep in the their folds. White mustard is also a valuable crop for this purpose. To give the sheep sufficient ve riety, ft is better to divide their range into several smaller ones, and change tbem as often, at least, as once a week. They seek a fa* i V, i vi >v i rorite resting-place, on a dry, ele- i raked part of toe field, which soou becomes toiled. By removing J them from this for* few days, rain 1 will cleanse or the MH dry ft, *o f u to make it again suitable for j them. More sheep may be kept, j sod in better oonditioo, where this , practice is adopted, than where 1 tbey are confined to the same pas- i tare. I Ho one who has observed With what eagerness sheep seek shade J In hot weather, and how tLey pant 1 sod apparently suffer when a hot J Bun is pouring down on their near- , ly naked bodies, will doubt that, ] both as a matter ot humaity and , utility ^ they should be provided, i dnring the hot summer months, i with a better shelter than that af < forded by a common rail fence. Stook Journal* \ Tkippino Cot Wcmts nt Gin , j dens.?It is very annoying, after j having set oat r nice lot of sweet ' potatoes or cabbago plants, to see < them cat down one by one by worms. We bave tried yuhes, 1 soot, and, in fact, everything we ' bave ever beard of, but never 1 found anything effectual until, by j accident, we found tbree or four , of the worms one morning gather- < ed under a small board which had i been left by some children on a : sweet potatoe hill. Acting upon 1 this hint, we placed small pieces 1 of bohra, large chips, <fcc., all through the patch, and we trapped them b y hundreds. The ( boards must be lifted early in the morning, and on very warm days again about noonv A little care for a few days will clear these pets ont of the garden. One trial will satisfy any person of the mer it of this plan.?Ex. Cur* tor Scab in Siibep.?A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer says : " About this season of the year we frequently see and hear considerable about the loos ing of wool, or scab in sheep.? For the benefit of sheep brooders, and farmers generally, allow me to say, that this disease made its appearance in my flock for several years. 1 finally tried the following ointment, which proved to be effectual: Soda, one pond , snlEbur, one pound ; cream tartar, alf pound. This, mixed together, should be applied by parting tho wool and rubbiug it ioto the furrow from head to tail." The good farmer sells mainly such products as are least exhaustive. A bank account daily drawn upon while nothing is deposited to its credit, must soon, respond u no funds." So with a farm aim ilarly treated. Rotation is at least negative fertilization. It may positively enrich a farm ; it will at least retard and postpone its impoverishment. ? ?.? Maxims tor Farmers?Only good farming pays. He who plants without reasonable assur ance o f good crops annually, migni oeiter earn wages of some capable nighbor than work for so poor a paymaster as he is certain to prove himself. < m It is claimed that warts on cows and horses can be speedily remov ed by 6iraply rubbing thetn occa? sionally with hog's lard. They disappear as if mysteriously, ft is easy to try. Western farmer says: " My remeday for scratches on hor6CB or cowo is an ointment made ot equal parts of tar, sulphur, and lard, applied every day. I have never tailed of effeoMng a speedy cure. Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine. There are farmers who have toiled constant ly from day break to dark, yet died poor, because, through ignor go, iuvjt wruuguv 10 ui8advantage. Each year of a farmer's devotiou to bis homestead may find it more valuable, more attraotire than the last, and leave it bettor still. It is far easier to maintain the productive capacity of a farm than to restore it. The good farmer is proved such by the steady expectation of his crops.

The orphaca who hart come in are in No. 2d, UurleyellU, under the care of the Matron, Mrs. M M. Lynee, of Charles* ton, who was. for years, connected with the Orphan Asylum of lhatoity. Sba will take pleasure In seeing the friends of the orphans, especially the ladies of Columbia, at the " Home* The orphans are to be supported by freewill donations People oil over the Slate are responding to the call for help, to this noble work. I hare just received a contribution of $6 from California ; and a pledge of $260 from a gentleman In Boston, Massachusetts. Surely, if people so far away are ready to help ue take care of our poor orphans iu South Carolina, no one of us should fail to do his whole duly. lean bring into the Home, very soon, not lees than fifty eery destitute orphans.
