al rock salt to my sheep in New Hampshire, being 

 more convenient and economical, they have had it 

 at all times to go to, both winter and summer, and 

 plenty of water at hand. But though for several 

 years ])ast we liave lost a great many, (lambs more 

 particularly under one year old,) we had never 

 thought of salt injuring them, which I now believe 

 must have been the cause ; and in future shall 

 allow only a small quantity, and not oftener than 

 once in ten or fifteen days. Previous to |)rocuring 

 tlie mineral salt the sheep had conunon Liverpool 

 salt once a fortnight ; at that limc our losses were 

 liot many."

JUST received, at GEORGE C. BARRETT'S SEED 

 STORE, Nos. 51 &, 52 North Market Street, Boston— 



A supply of superior old Black Currant Wine. — An 

 account ot its astringent and detergent properties in various 

 complaints, will be lound in the N. E. Farmer, vol. 5, page 267, 

 written by S. W. Pomeroy,Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffin. 

 It is highly salutary in many summer complaints. Doct. Coffin 

 slates : '' lis use has been attended with remarkable success 

 the early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — and ag: 

 also in Ihe later stages of these diseases, after the symptoms of 

 iiiHammation or febrile excitement had ceased. It has been strik- 

 ingly remedial in the low slates of typhoid and bilious fever. 

 The late Capt. Gilchrist, who for several years followed iheBa- 

 lavia trade, and who had always suHcred an attack of the severe 

 cholera which proves so destructive of human life in that cl' 

 mate, used to say that after he had this wine with him, and look 

 two glasses of it every morning, he escaped the disease. On 

 one voyage, his mate, who had not taken the wine, was seized 

 with this complaint, when a bottle or two stopped its progress 

 We have not room to enumerate many other morbid atlections 

 in which this wine has proved useful. In sore throat it has for 

 many years been considered almost a specific remedy.' — Price 

 75 cents per bolllc. dec 5
