 fTI't up once or cwie during that time to attend upon those 

 lVmbinir. We have had a lot of two-year old wethers fatted 

 inabarn this winter, which we have told; and the plan has 

 «Sren much satisfaction, for they gained much more tat than 

 when on the laid, and appeared to enjoy the shelter xiven them

 this with the addition of a barrowful or two spread mormn<

Lammeemdib Sheep F aim.— Another month has passed 

 a way— so mildlr, too, that one can hardly persuade oneself 

 that winter is now about half over, if, indeed, it is to be re- 

 stricted to a definite number of months and weeks. True, we 

 b.Te very variable weather, and much rain — though we hear 

 there has been a very moderate fall in the lowland districts— 

 so much so, that some stock-ma *ters, whose grazing* are 

 naturally wet, are longing for frost, being afraid ot nv. Fortu- 

 nately, there has been no appearance < 1 ibis scourge as yet, 

 though it may show itself in some tew cases in spring. In the 

 mesntime.ur flocks are unusually healthy; indeed, we do not 

 remember leeiti hem more soat this p«ricular season. Still 

 we believe that a moderate frost, and slight covering ot snow, 

 to preserve vegetation, would be useful. •• Everything is beauti- 

 ful in its season.'' And as our sheep cannot expect to live 

 their usual time, wi'hout encountering some hard winters the 

 sooner they are inured to them the better. As mentioned in 

 our last, the rams were removed ftv m the ewes at the new 

 year. We have taken Turnips elsewhere, for such as we do 

 not intend u ing again, to be sold as soon as fat. The rest are 

 receiving aa ra.ny at home as will suffice to keep them in 

 go d heal h and spirt's. As a general rule, we are averse to 

 using rams above two or three seasons ; bttnf satisfied that the 

 produce of yourg sheep are most vigorous. Siili, when about 

 5 ) rams are requindon the farm every year, it is no easy matter 

 to procure snch a number of reallyjrood shearlings, especially 

 of « h viots and Blackfaces, which are difficult to obtain at nil, 

 an I not except at a high figure, being actually higher priced 

 than average Leicesters of the same age. It may be accounted 

 flnr in this way : Fioru a given number of lambs retained, 

 there is always a much smaller proportion of good sheep from 

 the two former than from the latter breed, most probably 

 because, u:t rtunatclj, until of compar itiv* ly late years, the 

 nmc attention ha* not been bestowed upon the breeding of 

 in untaiu *heep, and also because there are seldom the same 

 facilities, in trie shape of enclosures, for making a careful 

 selection of ewes to b*» put to the first-class rams, which are to 

 be found on all lowland tarmf. Consequently, though the best 

 male lambs from the best ewes have been retained, still, from 

 the latter never having beea separated from the rest of the 

 flock, the ire may u >t have been suitable in every respect. 

 The necessity for a frequent change of rams will also be 

 apparent, when we remember that hardiness is a sine qua non 

 in mountain sheep; and hfnee, though a breeder may have 

 first- rate stock himself, all in aud in breeding must be avoided 

 as much as possible. The late open wen* her has certainly 

 forwarded ploughing operations greatly. We have finished the 

 lea fu^)ats, and have begun to ridge up for Oatsaf'er Turnips 

 The litter wenirposes-iniug with Scouler's two horse grubber 

 when sown. Oats twice in a four-course rotation may seem 

 hard work, but haviug repeatedly tried Barley, we find the 

 elevation too-high (700 feet) for this crop. Besides, most of the 

 straw being cousnmed by the cattle and horse*, that of the 

 latter grain makes very poor fodder. The carting out of 

 manure for Turnips progresses very slowly. The greater part 

 of the field for which it is intended being rery steep, lenders it 

 next to impossible to cart up heavy stuff, except during frost. 

 Still, as the work at towing time is better aud more expedi- 

 tiously got through when the manure is to carryover the bill at 

 that time, we will wait yet a little longer for frost. Be ides 

 straw, all the cattle are now getting a moderate allowance of 

 Turnip*. We have a few calves, which receive about seven 

 quarts of new nrlk daily, with Swedes and Clover hay ad

Notices to Correspondents. 



Bee* : S Dynes. Will any correspondent state if he has found 

 any prejudicial effect to be produced either on the article or 

 its consumer by cooling or working beer in vessels lined with 

 line. [We should not expect any harm.] 



Beans: € C. They need not be boiled at all. Soak them in 

 cold water long enough. 



Drainage Acts : A Poor Landlord. It will be quite competent 

 for you to back out of the whole affair, at any time, on pa.\ ing 



. the expenses incurred. The business of the inspectors is not 

 •o much to lay down plans of drainage, as to see that those 

 selected by applicants are economical and efficient. Inspectors 

 but too often find that neither landlord nor tenant know any- 

 thing of draining, and then, of course, they have to explain 

 the plans which they conceive best under the eircumstauces. 

 The inspectors are generally men of the greatest practical 

 experience, and we firmly believe, that so far from your 

 having occasion to grumble at their proceedings, as you 

 appear to anticipate, you will, upon trial, derive the greatest 

 benefit from their advice. 

 Eggs: EAR. An Irish correspondent suggests that the best 

 way of preserving eggs ia to have puilets hatched in February 

 that will begin laying in December. Fuller information will 



be found in. the chapter on eggs in Dixon's •' Ornamtntal 

 Poultry.'* 



Fences: J C. Qu-cka should be cut at the time of planting 

 and put into the ground, leaving an inch or two only above 

 the surface. On inspection you will perceive by the colour 

 how far up the stem the soil has covered it whilst growing in 

 the nursery-bed. Thetops of the Quicks should ail be cut off 

 about two inches above this point, previously to being in- 

 serted in the so L See Morton's "Cyclopedia of Agriculture," 

 article "Fences," for the mode of raiting aud planting 

 Quick. B. 



Flax: A' Y. See report of M. Ciaussen's statement before the 

 English Agricultural Society, 



Grasses : Street. Will any one tell us what mixture of Grasses 



Is generally sown for permanent pasture on ihe fen soil of 



Lincolnshire.— A n Old Subscriber. You should state the soil. 



If it be a light", . tvelly, Barley soil, the following is a list of 



•eeds : — Alopecurus pratensis, 1 lb.; Avena flavescens, 1 ; 



Dactylis glomerata, t; Festuca durinscula, 2; F. hetero- 



Pbylla, 1 ; F. rubra, 2 ; Loltum italicum, 3 ; L. perenne, 6 ; 



Poa nemoraliji, f- p. pratensis, 1; Meaicag > lupuiina, 1; 



Trifolium pratensis perenne, 3; T. repens, 4 lbs.; in all 28 

 lbs. per acre. 



Iunowi : T L, The tee' h of iron harrows need not be screwed 



in ; they may be v*- >'tf e< l in, as x\ ey are in woodiii fraraet, 

 and may be ju*t as easily removable. If they wear more 

 that proves their greater efli • ency. In every respect >* 

 ahou d prefer ihe iron Implement. 

 Lazy bid Planting : W K<\tk. The system is to dig the land j 

 planting the To. (toes on the surface in narrow beds, and 

 covering tht-tn with the earth taken out in farming alleys 

 between the beds. The advantages are the farrow drainage 

 and the depth of good sol. See K : cbardsou's shilling book 



on the pig. 



Oil-cake : Oxford. It will take nearly "»0 bushels of Linseed, 

 weighing 60 IbB. a bu*hel, fee make a ton « f oil-cake. 



Taint : M B says, '• I have been making a l«r*e outlay in farm 

 buildings, and they are just eome to a conclusion ; I am at a 

 loss what paint or other material to make use of for all the 

 wo. d work— di>ors, windows, shutters, Ac, for outside work, 

 and in a county where as much rain falls an any part of the 

 United Kingdom. I wish for the moat durable, at «be same 

 time wi»h a due regard to economy. Can any of > our cor. 

 respondents with their experience in these mat « rs assist roe!" 



Poison : Anon. In Australia and New Zealand the wild do* a 

 commit great ravages upon the sheep; if with 'he pois-m 

 («tr\chnine>, whuh the settlers place tor their dogs in th 

 sheep walks, there were anything which would attract them 

 to it, it would be a great benefit. Can any of our corre- 

 spondents say what dog stealers and others are supposed to 

 use to attract dogs to ihem ? 



Podltey : A //. We know ot no other way of preventing fowM 

 from eating eggs, except to supply them libera ly with 

 crushed eg- alls, calcined oyster shells, drc, besides a 

 sufficiency of insect or animal food. Hens, that are set on 

 too many egfcs, will often eat as many a-^ they think above 

 the due number, and carefully hatch the rest.— C EC. The 

 black epots on the combs of the Dorking fowls may be front* 

 bites and chilblains only, or they may be symptoms of severe 

 organic dtsease within. In the first c <-e good keep and com- 

 fortable boosing will check the complaint, in the latter, the 

 patients are in a bad way. What a pity it is that ladies and 

 gentlemen who send us inquii i< s do not indi>a t e whether ■ he 

 answer is to apply to Caithness or to Cornwall.— A F. Your 

 bantams are evidently all out of health fn*m being * 4 brought 

 up in a small i» closure under a net," or they Would no< m II 

 have the same difficulty in laying eggs, which, when lai<l. 

 prove defective. Send them out for a week or two to a 

 country walk. Beware of giviug them salt, or >ou will soon 



po : son them. 

 Tillian System: Q T W. By trenching: half the groun I in 

 the way described, the surface of ihe fallowed space is getting 

 tl e benefit of aeration and the mechanical action <>t tr<»h 

 it the same time that it is aff-rding sj«ace undi-rueMth for the 

 roots of the Wheat to extend into, and draw nutriment from, 

 and in this way it is being prepar d t r the next year's plant- 

 ing. I believe it will be an improvement on the practice, to 

 begin with trenching all the land, aud to sow the Wueat 21 

 inches apart, and to trench the intervals, aud ibia I am g<>i>>g 

 to try ; but thia is neither the plan of Jethro Tull nor of Mr. 

 Smith. I am sowing all my Oats and Harley and spring 

 Tares at these inteivals, to be able to cultivate between them, 

 such is my confidence of the value of moving the soil between 

 the young corn. I advise every one disposed to try the effeet 

 to begin with reading Jeihro Tull, and a visit to Mr. Smith, 

 Hewitt Davis.

COVENT GARDE*, March 1. 

 Hothouse Grapes are now over f«>r a season. Pine-apples 

 are still dear, and the supply of good dessert Pears is limited. 

 English Apples are scarce. Orange3 and Lemons are plm- 

 tiful. Nuts remain nearly the same as last week. Ve^e'ables 

 of hll kinds are abundant and good. The trade for French 

 Bean3 and Cucumbers is improving. Carrots and Turnips 

 are good in quality, and so are Potatoes. Lettuces and other 

 salading are sufficient for the demand. The best Munhrooms 

 fetch Is. 6d. per pottle. Cut Flowers OOOsist of Heaths, Pelargo-

Liverpool, Tuesday, Feb. 25 — Our supplies of grain and 

 Flour are this week upon a smaller scale thin of late. The 

 trade duriujr the week has been without activity, and no change 

 observable in the general quotations. We had another dull 

 market to-day, and Wheat was taken sparingly bv toe 

 millers, at prices for both English and foreign barely equal to 

 those of Tuesday last. Floor also was difficult to quit, ana 

 French sacks declim d Is. per 280 lbs., and American barrels 

 6d per 196 lbs. Oats were Jd. per bushe 1 , and Oatmeal 3d. 

 per load lower. Barley, Beans, and Peas were unchanged in 

 value. There was rather more inquiry after Indian Corn, and 



prices were tolerably well maintained. Taiday, Feb 21. 



At this morning's market we had a poor attendance of either 

 local or country buyers ; the trade ruled exceedingly Jtt«i«»
