Will Keeping Sheep P?yl
A writer in the National Idve Stock
Journal gives his idea on this subjcob:
Sheep" pay bettor than any other
stock, no matter what the kind of stock
is. I have been breeding some 800
head of cattle, and I am satisfied that,
oven with the most favorable condition
for selling, when the time comes, I
shall make a great deal more money,
dollar for dollar on the money invested
in sheep than I shall make on the oap
ital invented in cattle. I have about
600 sheep running without any partic
ular attention or care, and have sold
$1,400 worth of wool of this year's olip,
and havo 250 lambs besides. I do not
think it possible to have done so well
on an equal amount of capital invested
in cattle. One great advantage sheep
havo over other stock is, that they
never die of oontagions diseases whioh
thoy contract. They get the scab or
foot-rot or something else, and if un
checked it gets them in bad condition,
and would ultimately, perhaps, kill
.them. But tho very worst oontagiouu
diseases to whioh sheep are subject,
givo tho owner ample time to treat the
effected animals, and the diseases are
generally of a character whioh yield
readily to treatment. But a man may
havo a lot of hogs, and feed them hun
dreds of bushels of corn daily, and
about the timo the bottoms of his oribs
aroneared, and ho is thinking of selling,
Borne disease breaks out among them
?no one knows what it is or what to do
for it?ouo animal after another follow
ing in rapid succession is effected, and
the greater -portion die. I have known
farmers to be well-nigh mined by tho
appearance of a contagious disease of
this oharaoter. Sheep are happily ex
empt from suoh rapid and fearful 'mor
tality. Besides, when a Bheep dies?
and thoy will die sometimes?his pelt is
sufficient to pay for his keep from the
lust shearing to his death. It makes no
difference when he dies, or what kills
him, tho sheep never dies in debt.
HotatlOti oJ Momireu. .',
All agree that rotation of crops is a
neoossary condition to - productiveness.
If wo plant tho sarae land year after
year in the same crop, tho result will be
al mos t barrenness. So it is with ma
nures. If every year .we munuro our
land with the same species of manure,
it will finally lose its effect, and the
consequence will be small crops. Even
land will become tired of farm-yard
manure and will ask for a change.
Guano, bone dust, lime and ashes hav
ing been applied to tho same land for a
number of years, the land will fail to
respond as it ohoe did. The great agri
cultural chemist, Idebig, explains this
peculiarity on the ground that unless
all the elements required by a plant are
present, the extent to which the ele
ment existing in tho smallest quantity
is present, determines the resulting fer
tility. This explanation has been gen
erally accepted as correot.
It is true that there are but few eases
wherein any land upon southern farmB
run any danger of becoming fatigued
by any kind of manure. Our lands
generally sutler moro from hunger than
from repletion. But the fact is one of
interest and was brought speoially to
our notioe during a recent visit to the
market garden of an acquaintance who
informed us that his crops were falling
off from overdoses of stable manure
overy year for several years.
win ii to Ciit'Tliiinev.
An Arkansas corresdondent of the
Scientific American says: "I came here
30 years since, nnd began clearing land
and buildiug Iioubos with hewn logs and
boards split from the trees. After sev
eral years' residence I noticed that vory
often pieces of tho same kind of timber
decayed more quickly than others; and
after much thought nnd observation I
came to the oonolusion that timber
foiled whou tho leaf first oommenoed
to grow rotted tho sap off very quickly,
but tho hoart remained sound; that
timber follodjafter tho fall of tho loaf
rotted in tho heart, even when appar
ently sound on tho ontnido. When fire
wood out in tho winter was put on tho
firo tho sap oamo out of the 'heart, but
when out iu the summer tho sap came
out of tho sap wood, and next the bark.
I notice also that all our lasting wood
has but little snp at any time in the
heart?snob ns eedar, mulberry, sassa
fras, and oypress. A oypreBs post out
in the summor of 1838' is still sound,
although exposed to all weathers, while
ono of tho same kind of timber, out in
the winter of 185(5, nnd painted, bos
rotted in tho heart. I saw yesterday
a piece of gum plank, whioh I sawed in
the summer of 1850, that has lain over
since, and is perfectly sound; while oak
timber that was felled in the winter
before is now entirely rotten. My oon
olusion then is : Out timber after full
loaf, say in July and Anguet, to get the
most last from it. The sap goes into
the heart of tho tree after leaf-fall, and
oauses deoay."
nuchwiiM.? for Hees.
A correspondent of Tho Rural World
writes as follows : " Tho right timo to
sow buokwheat for beo paBturago is
about tho firht of July. If sown then,
it not only forms tho best pasturage
for tho bees, but usually yiolds a good
orop of seed. It ib ono of our best
honey-producing plants. The proper
quantity to bow to an aero is one peek,
although some prefer to oow two pooka.
I raise it largely, and succeed best by
sowing only-one peek to the acre. The
number of acres required for thirty
colonies of bees will be about four, ii it
is a good season for secreting honey.
I have known one acre of buckwheat to
furnish food enough for bees, so that
800 pounds of honey and 85 bushels of
grain were made from it. This was,
however, an unusually favorable season.
Five acres are the least that Bhould be
Bown for the number of colonies men
tioned, as it ir better to have."too
much than not enough."
Raising Tobacco in tho South.'
I In many portions of the South, before
the war, very much of the tobacco used
among tho farmers was grown upon
their farms and plantations. In Missis
sippi. Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the
Carolinas and Louisiana, there ?was
oonsiderablo tobacco grown but a few
years ago. Now there is but little at
tention paid to growing this important
crop. The consumer confines himself
to a better or finer cultivated and manu
factured artiolo. The old "home twist"
is hardly to be seen, where a few years
ago ? little other was to bo bad. The
poorer classes, with"colored population,
since the settlement among them1 of tho
northern element, have received very
luxurious notions in their, drinking,
smoking, and chewing habits. The finest
whisky or brandy is sought after, while
tho old " white wheat" and " peach and
molasses" are fast going out of unit
Fine smoking brands of tobacco are now
in use, as well as the most popular plug
and fine outs. Those who should be
the produoers are consumers of the very
artlole they could grow more obeaply
than others. How muoh liko nonsense
it looks for Connecticut, Iowa, Missouri,
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennes
see to raise tobacco for the south and a
largo export trade 1
The idea that cotton had oeased to be
king in the couth was a most absurd and
premature one. That moro corn is
grown, we do not deny, but not to the
considerable extent we have been led to
believe by the reports of thooo who de
sired to make it a corn-producing conn
try.
Experiments have been made in moro
than thirty oounties in Texas, the past
Boasoa, in growing tobacco of the vari
ous- varieties, to test their adaptability
to that soil and climate. The greater
part of these tests have been made in
northern and central counties of the
state, where the Missouri and Ohio
population has settled. With a pro
tracted drouth and an early frost, still
the result to the planters has been the
most satisfactory. Texas will become
one of our most excellent tobacco states.

may bo added to taste.
This reeipe is a family one, with tho
exception of the syrnp; in the originid

Smuggling as a Fino Art.
The Spanish contrabandists, who
were in by-gone years the heroes of
many a romance, flourished because
import duties were high. At one time
English cargoes, or miscellaneous oar
goes in English ships, were landed at
Gibraltar on purpose to be smuggled
over the frontier into Spain, to tho
value of ?1,000,000 per annum. As to
France, in time long subsequent to the
era of the Milan and Berlin decrees,
and when import duties were levied
only for the sake of revenues, the land
frontiers were the soeno of extraordi
nary smuggling. Dogs were trained in
Belgium on purpose to smuggle goods
into France.. The animals were of
large size, and were trained to carry
twenty or twenty-five pounds eaoh, the
load consisting of tobacco, sugar, oof
lee, oto. They were converted across
the frontier in packs from France into
Belgium; they were kept all day with
out food, beaten unmercifully (what a
superior being man is !) laden in the
evening and started off. The poor
hungry animals made the best of their
way to their Frenoh homes, usually two
or three leagues from the frontier,
and were there well fed and kindly
treated. In ten years more than 40,
000 of theso hard-working dogs were
destroyed by the Frenoh custom offi
cers, three franca being given as a
bonus for the capture of each. Some
times a dog would be found laden with
nearly ?50 worth of smuggled goods.

The characteristics of the Hue si an
typo of feminine beauty are an extreme
fairness of the complexion, grayish
bluo eyes, blonde or chestnut hair, and
a certain embonpoint, arising from the
lack of exercise and the life indoors,
whioh is compelled by a winter latsing
seven or eight months. They suggest
the idea of odalisques, whom the genius
of tho north keeps confined in the
tropical atmosphere of a hot-house.
They have complexions of cold oream
and snow, with tints of the heart of a
camellia?like those over-veiled women
of tho seraglio, whose skin the sunlight
has not touohed. By this extreme fair
ness their delicate features are rendered
even more delioate and tho softened
outlines form faces of hyperborean
sweetness nnd polar grace. Tho Rus
sian women in sojiety seem to make
less display than che men, as the uni
forms nud court of the latter glittor
with gold laco and embroidery and with
jewelled decorations. Yet the simple
robes of tho ladies are composed of tho
costliest fabrics, fastened with the
rarest gems; and their da/./.ling skins,
nnd flashing diamonds, and gleaming
pearls, nnd flowing draperies match in
effect the heavier splendor of the mas
culine attire.
A BbaOtofoi, Woman.?Tho percep
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same phrenological organ in
mon. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshiped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
tho lattor to his lady-love, but the keen
ness of tho woman knows that he is
thinking of the former in his heart. All
women have an innate desire to please
their beaux. They are fond of admira
tion, hence ono of their longings is to
be beautiful. Tho grand secret of fe
male beauty is health?the seuret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate a proper quantity of whole
some food. Take Vinegar Bitters. It
will ideanso tho stomach, tone the vital
organs, givo a perfect digestion, purify
the blood, olear up tho complexion and
prod'ioo a state of mental and physical
electricity whioh gives symmetry of
form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy
hair and a genuine type of female love
liness whion no ooBmetio can compare
with._

1H% J. Walker's California VItl
egar Bitters aro a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from tho na
tive herbs found on tho lower r?nge? ol
the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor
nia, tho medicinal properties of which
aro extracted therefrom without tho. use
of Alcohol. Tho question is almost
daily asked. What is the cause of tho
unparallolcd success of Vinkc.au Bit
ters? " Our answer is, that thoy removo
tho causo of disease, and tho patient re
covers his health. Thoy.aro-tbfi-groat
blood purifier and a life-giving principle,
a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the Bystom. Never before in the
history' of tho world hits a mcdicnip been
compounded possessing tho ' roniurTlublo
qualities of Vinkoar Hitters in healing tho
sick of ovcry diBcoso uum ia heir to* Thoy ?
aro a gentlo Purgutivo us well us a Tunic,
relieving Congestion or.: Inflammation . of -
tho Liver and Visceral Organs, iu 'Bilious
Diseases.
Sedative, Couutor-Irritunt,'Sudorific, 'Altera
tive, aud Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousaiitls proclaim Vin.
egak Bitters the most wonderful In
vigorant that over, sustained the sinking
Bystom.
No Person can take these 1 Jitter*
according to directions, and remain lorJg
unwoll, provided their bones aro not do*
stroyod by mineral poison or other,
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious, Bemittent and Inter*
mittent Fevers, which are so preva
lent in the valleys of our great rivere
throughout tho United States, especially
those of tho Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri*
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande.
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ito
anoko, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout out
entire country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so duringsea
sous of 'unusual'heat and dryness, are -
invariably accompanied by extensive ae
F??geui?ui? uf tuo stomach and iiver,
and other abdominal viscora. In their
treatment-, a purgative, exerting a pow
jerful influence upon these various or
gaus, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for tho purpose equal to
Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters,
as thoy will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which tbo
bowels aro loaded, at tho same time
stimulating tho secretions of the liver,
i and generally restoring tho healthy
functions of the digestivo organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. . No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Soar
Eructations of tho Stomach, Bad Taste
in tho Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palp fe
tation of tho Heart, Inflammation of the
Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid
neys, and a hundred other painful symp
toms, are tho offsprings of Dyspepsia.
Ono bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise
ment.
Scrofhla, or King's Evil, Wfifibe
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck.
Goitro, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of tho Skin, Soro Eyes, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, "Walker's Vineoar Bitters have
shown thoir great curativo powers in the
most obstinate and intractablo cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent nnd Intermittent Fevers, Diseases oi
tho Blood, Liver, Kidnoys and Bladder,
theso Bitters havo no equal. Such Diseases
aro caused by Vitiated Blood. ??
Mechanical Diseases.?Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-scttors, Gold-bontcrs, and
Miners, as thoy adranco in life, aro subjeot
to paralysis of tho Bowels. ' To guard
against this, take a doso of Walker's Vi*?
eoar Bitters occasionally.
For SKin Diseases, Eruptions, Tefc> '?'
tcr, Salt-Rheum, BlotchcB, Spots, Pimples,
Pustulos, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Soro Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discoloralioun of tho Skin, Humor-;
and Disoasos of tho Skin of whatever name
or natnre, aro literally dug up and carried
out of tho system in a short timo by the uso
of theso Bitters.
Fin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurkiug in tho system of so many thousauda,
aro oifectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medioino, no vermifuges, no an*
thelminitics will freo the system from worms
liko these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at tho dawn of wo
manhood, or tho turn of life, those Tonic
Bitters display so deoided an influence that '
improvement is booh perceptible.
Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood when
ever you Audits impurities bursting through
tho skin in Pimples, Eruptions^or Sorest
cleanse it when you find it obstructed And
sluggish in tho veins; cleanse it when it if:
foul; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
tho blood puro, aud tho health of tho systen>
will follow.
