her smooth, oily tones.
" I believe she went out a sb

To which Lucia dutifully respont
she thought I did.
And which. I proved to the con!
ry to the facts of the case by open
th? parlor door and making my
pearance among them.

to talk to Mr. Wayne about this a

him pretty well engaged through t

" I thought ho looked sp when

coolly .as you ??loase:. "
Lucia elevated her nos? io a great'
altitude than usual, and relapsed in
contemptuous silence.
" I really think you might har

mont. " Aa; members of the best s

Baid,?b3ushing hotly.
" So he did," answered Amit Du

The shot told. Aunt Dumont said
ao more, and Lucia fell to reading
her novel.
When my father died, he left his
.property, small, it is true, but still
enough to live on quite comfortably,
in Aunt Dumont's care. She was to
keep me, and give me au'education.

Clover is'a great institution, t
value of which is not a6 folly undi
stood as lt should be. The-field f
its development is the prairies of t
West, where the fertility of the si
is annually depreciating, for want
raanurial matter, to supply the dra
that is made upon it.
When there is little stock in pr
portion to the-number of acres cult
vated; and that little is not stable
in the Winter, a large amount
manure cannot Be saved to enrich tl
broad .fields of corn and wheat. Wh
shall be done ? Two-thirds of tl
fertility, so far as wheat ia concerne
is lost already. Soils that a fe
years since yielded thirty-three bus!

in the bosom of the earth until ma
wants to convert water into stean
and iron ore into rails and ships, an
now he finds it cropping out all ov<
the earth.
The fertility accumulated in tl:
virgin soil.has sufficed for one goner;
tion, and now the little brown clove
seed has been given to furirsh m?
chinery by which the elements <
fertility may be absorbed from tL
atmosph?re, and pumped out of th
earth to supply the .nts of anothc
generation. On most lands four c
five pounds of clover seeds and tw
or three hundred, pounds of plaste
to an acre, will, in a little more tha
a year, if fhe soil is tolerably gooc
be converted into two tons of th
very beet hay. Thin material ha

power of changing carbon and oxyge

he gets it within his oesophagus, ;hen
he pushes it on and on through the
tour or fiv% feet of his longitude, and
deposits it in the stem of the plant,
to be used where it is wanted in the
process of construction. We should
like to see all the roots from an acre
. of thrifty clover washed and shook
out, dried and thrown into a heap.
Would there be two .tons of them-as<
much as there is of the plants above
ground ? If so, these four or five
pounds of oeed would have drawn
from the air and the ground four
tons of solid matter, ready to be rot

ite hobby, Merino TSheep, but cc
eluded to waif. Until alter we h
shorn our sheep, so that I could spe
from the facts of the profits of t
sheep business.
From the close of lambing til
last year, we had about th'ree hu
dred 6h?ep, consisting of what 1
consider full blood, (as thev were c
scended on both sides from she
brought.-from the North.) high grad
and all sorts,' down to a 'few iii
blood. These sheep, were ?pastur
on uncultivated fields just as th
I were left to rest, without apy preps
ation, ?ntil the corn fields were ope
erl in the falls. They were winter
on tu. nips, cotton seed and barb
straws, with an occasional turn on tl
fall oats and barley, when the lal
was dry enough, which was not ve
often, as the winter was usually rain
The lambs were dropped in Decei
ber and January, when they, wi
1 their duros, were allowed the run
a clover field, part of each clear
dry day. Our g^a'ss came in untie

to feed longer than usua?, but I a
confident that our sheep have cost i
not over one dollar a head for 'tl
entire year from May to May, ineli
sive of lambs, their feed is includt
with their dams.
In May we sheared two bund rc
and seventy-three, (the flock- havir
been reduced by sales, deafh ar
mutton, to that number,) yieldir
sixteen hundred and eighty-foi
pfbnnds, (1684 lbs.,) over six pouni
. each, and we have aboutone hnudre
and t wenty-five lambs. These la ml
are worth twice the cost of keepin
the flock ; but say they pay expense
we certainly have the wool and rm
nure, clear, and the latter is quite a
item, to us, worth, I think, one hut
dred dollars. Although this is muc
more than we make in any other wa;
in proportion " to investment andi;
bor. yet it is not no to the full capac
i ty of a full blooded, flock. While

by my two little sons, under thirteei
years old, and myself. During lamb
ing time they need almost constan
attention day and night. Nearly al
that work I did myself; if I needer
assistance, these boys render?d*it. I
our other crops would'do as well, w<
might count en some money nexi
fall,, but from present prospects, haw

f ar*the wool will have to help oui
the cotton*. This is fine weather foi
sheep-a dry year for fat sheep
furnishing an? additional reason' in
favor of diversifying our crops.
I seeDiir ?mitual friend, Col. Aiken,
gives in th,e May number o'f ^he Bu
ral 'Carolinian, his plan for castrating
la/nbs, and calls for criticisms j .to
which I will respond, as the plan is
liable to very grave objections, as he
exposes his lambs twice to great dan
ger, first, by waiting until the testi
cles are well developed, which in
creases the ?risk greatly, and then
from the lateness of the season the
flies are sure to blow them, unless
some preventive is applied ?v?ry dny
until they are well. But these diffi
culties may ?be aveided by perform
ing .the operation at the proper age,
say from three to ten days old, the
earlier the better, then there is very
little risk, ahd,as they usually come
in the winter, there are no flies to
blow them. There is no ^particular
skill necessary, the great matter is
to be. expeditious. We avoid doing
anything that will put blood on a
sheep in the summer or warm weath
er, for the blow-Ay has a peculiar
fondness for the blood c*f sheep, and
will attack them on every occasion.
Should it become nee ssary, however,
at any time during the warm season
to perform this, or any other opera
tion on a sheep, constant attention
with turpentine will keep off the
fly. .Many a sheeDi dies^fj-om maggots

? We usually-cut off the tails of our
lambs as early as practicable, but
don't like to perform both the opera
tions at the same time, as it is too
greata fax orf the vitality of the
lamb, to do all at once. For cutting
off the tails .1 use a small pair of
hedge shears, the kind that only cuts
from one side, the other side furnish
ing a guage for the length of the part
left, pressing the skin towards body
before you close the shears, when the
tail is severed at a single stroke.
We have the cheapest sheep pas
tures I ever saw", all things consider
ed, and every farm should at llast
have a small flock. Suppose every
farmer would just grow wool enough
to buy his guano, what an- immense
saving "it would b'e to the country .
These flocks would increase both in<
numbers and esteem until there would
be no use for any other fertilizer on
the farm. The sheep helps the grain

The greatly advantageous feature of the Brooklyntin endorsing the Sur
render Values upon?its Policies, 'in Dollars and Cents, far Jen consecutive
years, has met jv i h -unqualified praise from the most celebrated American
Actuaries, as nl.-o from the Press, E?:st, North and South.
The Hon. Elizur Wright, who is iidjuitted to be thc greatest Insurance
Mathematician and Actuary in America, congratulating The Brooklyn
upon this new and distinctive feature, says, among other things, " I am.
particularly pleased by. your departure in the right direction from the
ordinary method of Computing the Surrender Values." "One ot? the great
est drawbacks to the popularity of Life'Insurance, has been the disap
pointment and dissatisfaction of retiring Policy holders, at the smallness
of thc surrender value paid," &c. "All this would have been prevented
by a distinct statement on thc Ibl'icy,'rn'advance, of Ike sum to bc paid."
This statement, it wiU be eeeji, The Brooklyn makes in dollars and
cents, SQ that there (can be ne] mistake! . ...'.' \ i .
. Read tfliat imitfrerii Papers Say of f?is f??t?re ?
The Sentinel, (Haleigh, 'North Carolina,) Jan. 27, 1869;-" This great
feature vf cash surrender .values is An impbovemont that signalizes the era
in_ Life Insurance." ? ' .
Sun, (Columbus, Georgia.)-"There is no better Company in the land;
a comparison with othor corporations of asimilar character, will convince
al?ol' the superior safely in taking risks.with The Brooklyn Life."
1 ispatch, (St. Louis, Mo..,) Jan. 7, 1369.-"A Policy io The Brooklyn
Life is thus worth so much.tVi ready money.. This-is the only Life. Com
pavy in the country that 1ms carried this excellent feature (uf endorsing
the cash surrender values in dollars and cents.) into its business..'' "Pol
icy holders being 'doubly assured, the system cannot fail to become very
popular." ' ? .
It will be seen shat we assert nothing in the above advertisement, but
make a sim?le statement,of the superior advantages of 17tcfBrooklyn, as it
appears from disinterested parties.
