AGRICULTURE. Will Keeping Sheep 1'nyl A writer in the National Live Stock Journal gives hin idea on this subject: Sheep pay better than any other Block, no matter what the kind of stook is. I have been breeding some 800 head of cattle, and I am satisfied that, oven with the most favorable condition for selliug, when the time oomes, I shall make a great deal more money, dollar for dollar on the money invested in nlicop than I shall make on the cap ital invented in cattle. I have about 600 sheep running without any partic ular attention or euro, and havo sold $1,400 worth of wool of this year's clip, and have j^DO lambs besides. I do not think it possible to havo done so well on an equal amount of capital invested in cattle. One great advantage sheep havo over other stook is, that they never die of contagious diseases whioh they oontract. They got 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 vory worst oontagiouii diseases to whioh sheep are subjeot, give tho ownor ample time to treat the affected auimals, and the diseases are generally of a character whioh yield readily to treatmont. 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 cribs aronoarod, and ho is thinking of selling, some disease breaks out among them ?no ono knows what it is or what to do for it?ono animal after another follow ing in rapid succession is effected, and the greater portion die. 1 have known farmers to be well-nigh mined by the appearance of a contagious disease of thin oharaoter. Sheep are happily ex empt from such rapid and fearful mor tality. Besides, when a sheep dies? and thoy will dio sometimes?his pelt is suflioiont to pay for his keep from the last shearing to his death. It makes no difference, when he dies, or what kills him, tho sheep never dies in debt. Kotu1 Ion of JUnnurca. All agree that rotation of crops is a neoossary -condition to productiveness. If we plant tho same land year after year in tho samo crop, the result will be almost barrenness. So it is with ma nures. If every year we manure our land with the same species of manure, it will finally lose its effect, and the consequonoe 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 onoe did. The great agri cultural chemist, Liebig, explains this peculiarity on the gronnd that unless all the elements required by a plant are present, tho extent to whioh the ele ment existing in the smallest quantity is present, determines the resulting fer tility. This explanation hau been gen erally accepted as correct. It is true that there are but few oases wherein any land upon southern farmB run any danger of becoming fatigued by any kind of manure. Our lands generally snfior moro from hunger than from repletion. But the fact is ono of interest and was brought speoially to our notice during a recent visit to the market garden of an aoquaintanoe who informed us that his crops were falling off from overdoses of stable manure overy year for several years. When to I'nt Tittitter. An Arkansns corresdondent of the Scientific American says: "I came here 30 years since, and began olearing land and building houses with hewn logs and boards split from tho trees. After sev eral years' residence I noticed that vory often pieces of tho samo kind of timber decayed more quiokjy than others; and after much thought and observation I camo to tho oonolusion that timber felled when the leaf first commenced to grow rotted tho sap pff very quiokly, but tho heart remained sound; that timber felled, after, the fall of tho leaf rottod in tho' heart, oven whon appar ently Hound on tho outsido. When fire wood out in tho winter was put on the firo tho sap oamo out of tho heart, but when cut in tho summer tho sap came out of tho sap wood, and next the bark. I notice nlso that all our lasting wood has but little sap at any time in the heart?such sb cedar, mulberry, Baesa fras, and cypress. A cypress post out in the snmmor of 1838 ia still sound, although exposed to all weathers, while ono of tho name kind of timber, out in tho wintor of 185(5, and painted, has rottod in tho heart. I saw yesterday a pieoo of gum plank, whioh I sawod in tho Bummor of 1850, that has lain over sinoo, and is perfectly Bound; while oak timber that was felled in the winter before is now ontiroly rotten. My oon olusion then is : Out timber after full leaf, say in July and Angust, to get the most laBt from it. Tho sap goes into the heart of tho tree after leaf-fall, and oauses decay." nneh-ivhent for Ileee. A correspondent of Tho Enrol World writes nH follows : " Tho right timo to sow bnokwheat for beo pasturago is about tho firat of July. Tf sown then, it not only forms tho beat pasturago for the bocH, but usnnlly yields a good orop of Bcod. It is ono of our best honey-produoing plants. Tho proper quantity to bow to an aero is one peck, although Borne prefer to sow two peeks. I raise it largely, and suooeed best by sowing only-one peck to the acre. The number of acres required for thirty colonies of bees will be about four, if it is a good season for secreting honey. I have known one aero 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 should be sown for the number of colonies men tioned, as it in better to have "too much than not enough." Bailing Tobacco in tho South. In many portions of tho South, before the war, very much of tho tobacco used among tho farmers was grown upon their farms and plantations. In Missis sippi, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the Carolinas and Louisiana, there .was considerable tobacco grown but a few years ago. Now there is but little at tention paid to growing this important crop. The eous..mor confines himself to a better or finer onltivated and manu factured article. The old "homo twist" is hardly to bo seen, whore a few years ago little other, was to bo had. Tho poorer olasses, with colored population, since the settlement among them bl the northern element, have received very luxurious notions in their, drinking, smoking, and ohewing habits. The finest whisky or brandy is sought after, while tho old " white wheat" and " peaoh and molasses" are fast going ont of use. Fine smoking brands of tobacco ire now in use, as well as the most popular ping and fine cute. Those who should be the producers are consumers of the very artlole they could grow more oheaply than others. How much like nonsense it looks for Connectiout, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennes see to raise tobacco for the south and a large export trade! The idea that cotton had ceased to be king in the south 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 those who de sired to make it a corn-producing coun try. Experiments have been made in more than thirty oountieB in Texas, the past season, in growing tobacco of the vari ous- varieties, to test their adaptability to that soil and olimato. 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. ?Cor. Rural World.

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 the 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 scene of extraordi nary smuggling. Dogs were trained in Belgium on purpose to smuggle goods into France.. The animals wero of largo size, and were trained to carry twenty or twenty-five pounds each, the load consisting of tobacco, sugar, oof lee, etc 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 I evening and started off. The poor hungry animals made the best of their way to their French 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 those hard-working dogB wore destroyed by the French custom offi cers, three francs being given as a bonus for the capture of eaoh. Some times a dog would be found laden with nearly ?50 worth of -smuggled goods. Russian Beauty. Tho characteristics of the Russian typo of feminine beanty are an extreme fairness of the complexion, grayish blue eyes, blonde or ohestnut hair, and a certain embonpoint, arising from the lack of exeroise 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 cream and snow, with tints of the heart of a oamellia?like those over-veiled women of tho seraglio, whose skin the sunlight has not tonohed. By this extreme fair ness their delicate features are rendered even more delicate and tho softened outlines form faces of hyperborean sweetness and polar graoe. Tho Rus sian women in sooiety scorn to make less display than tho men, as the uni forms a?d court of the latter glittor with gold laoo and embroidery and with jewelled decorations. Yet the simple robes of tho ladies are composed of the costliest fabrics, fastened with the rarest gems; and their dazzling Hkins, and Hashing diamonds, and gleaming pearls, and flowing draperies match in effect the heavier splendor of tho mas online attire. A BuAirriFuii Woman.?Tho porcep tivo faculty of women is usually keener than tho same phrenological organ in mon. Woman knows that beauty rather than genius is worshiped by the sterner sex. A man may talk with his Hps of tho latter 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 Beeret of fo male beauty is health?the secret of health is the power to eat-, digest and assimilate a proper quantity of whole some food. Take Vinegar Bitters.
