Some ad vocate silage f>r sheep feeding. It answers for wethers ami fattening ewes, but is not de sirable for breeding ewes. Jt has been tested, and the weight of the , evidence is against the practice. The ewes do n»t do well at lainb injf time, and the lambs are infe- \ rior. After the lambs are dropped however, silage is valuable feed, and in hot-house lamb-growing'; supplies the place of roots. Timothy hay alone is also an nil . suitable food for ewes in lamb; it is constipating, while straw is : not. Any person who will ob- , serve the difference in droppings , of straw-fed and hay-fed sheep j will conlirm this assertion, j "When the evidence is before my (•yes that "breeding ewes wintered ; on straw alone sheared 8 pounds j per head, each had a lamb and every lamb lived, 1 am inclined to say though I confess reluctant ly, that straw issullieieiit. 't here is a bright, immediate future for; the sheep industry.— ('or. V Y. Tribune.

Mount the horse and see how many minutes it will take him to walk a mile. A horse that will walk three miles an hour is worth at lea-t three times as much as ahorse that walks but two miles. The three mile horse m»t only does as much work in two days as the two-mile horse does in thl'ee. but lie enables the man behind the plough to do 50 percent more work in a day than he can do behind the two-mile horse. And the mall and horse consume with the slow team •")(> per cent more rations in doing the same work that the fast walker does. In twelve months the man would do no more carting and ploughing with the slow horse than he won d do ill eight months with fast walker. Suppose a farmer to hire a man and a two-mile horse to do an amount of ploughing and carting that it takes three months to per form, and pays S3 a month for the , horse, £3 for his feed, and for the man, who boards himself; S'24 a month three months, £7*2. J f he hires the same man at *lB a month and pays S3 for horse feed and S4 for a fast walker, he can do in two months what the slow team would do in three. Two months, fast team and feed and j - ploughman, at 825 a month, SSO. ; Direct loss by slow horse, £'22. Resides the work done by the slow horse is not so well or sea sonably done —the seed maf be put in the gound to late, the grass may get ahead of the plow, ! and the indirect loss by the slow team may be serious, be sides the $22 loss as stated above. [Picayune. | - Spreading Manure In Winter. "Manure mude in the winter should, when it is possible, be spread as it is made, on the land where it is to be used, 11 says American Agri culturist, aud is added that "it is a fact that cannot be controverted, and has been abundantly proved, both by reason and practice, that nanure is never worth more than it s riie day it is made. Nothing is idded to it, but usually much is »sr bom it by lapse of time. Ex jit -u steep.y sloping ground the ; ...mire is s.it'e frouj all danger of -s. am: 7 is put where it will do the iost good when it is spread on the ami direct from the stable. There is no more handling of it, and if it is | rained upon ail that is dissolved from it goes into the .soil, just where it is wanted. Hence it is a conven ience aud an economy to haul out the manure and spread it as toon as a wagonload is gathered."
