A GRIC U LTU I: AI.DEPART M E NT EVENING PASTIMES. BY ALICE CARRY. Sitting by my fir? alone, When the winds are rough and cold, And I feel myself grow old Thinking of the summers flown T have many a harmless art To beguile the tedious time, Sometimes reading some old rhyme 1 already knew by heart. Sometimes singing over words Which in youth's dear day, gone by Sounded swot. So sweet, that I Had no praise for the birds. Then, from off its •ecret shelf, 1 from d i d and moth remove The old garment of u.i ! o ,-. In the which ! wrap myself And a litlh while am vain, But its rose hue will not bear The sad light of faded hair, So 1 fold it up ujaiu. More in palicneo than regret, Not a leaf the forest thro- -h But is sung and wbispere to — I shall wear that garment yet! Profits of Sheep Husbandry. "It is justly admitted, that of all the domestic animals reared and fed for profit in Great Britain, sheep are of the greatest consequence, both individually and in n national point of view, and afford a better return than can be obtained either from the rearing or (coding of cattle.— Sheep husbandry deserves to be esteemed in all its different branches, and claims the priority of consideration among agriculturalists.’ There arc, we are informed, many intelligent and experienced farmers in our own country who consider sheep feeding more profitable or equally profitable with cattle feeding, leaving the wool entirely out of the question. In the Northern and Eastern States, the method adopted for the improvement of poor lands is principally by summer pasturage. The manure, which is superior to that from most other animals, gradually enriches the soil, and consequently the amount of grasses, is yearly increased. In a few years in this manner, scanty pastures are converted into productive ones. In the Southern States (says Mr. Randall) on lands which now yield even a smallish supply of suculent grasses, the Northern system, (of summer pasturage) is all that is necessarily required. These grasses will every year increase, and the land will be generally fertilized by the droppings of the shet p, without a cent’s expenditure on it of any kind; and every particle of herbage will be turned to its most profitable account by being converted into woo), mutton, and manure. — Again, sheep are exceeding useful in clearing land of those briers and shrubs which it is very difficult often to extirpate without ploughing, and these often abound on land that cannot be profitably ploughed. The sheep will browse on buds and strip the bark from most shrubs, and in this manner they soon destroy them.— Sheep aho exert a remarkable influence upon the character of the vegetation of the lands where they feed. ‘All wild poor grasses gradually disaupear from pastures, are succeeded by the best ones, and the sward becomes very dense and even.’ In these statements, coming as they do from unquestionable authority, there is surely much that should awaken the attention of our farmers, and lead them to inquire, the very least, whether here is not a field of unusually fine promise which has not received as yet proper consideration. We will now introdruce calculations derived from the same source, showing the actual direct returns for capital and labor employed in wool giowing, or more comprehensively, sheep raising. For the fourteen years proceeding 1845, rhe average mice of good wools is stated to be 39 4-7 cents per pound. The average weight ot fleece yielding this quality of wool about 3 lbs. The pure blood Saxon yield less. The average price of sheen of the quality under consideration has been not less than 82 per bead, and lambs half that price. This statement was made several years since. The annual increase in lambs would be about 80 per cent , or it less by reason of the number of wethers in the flock the growth of the latter would give a corresponding increase of profit. — Jt is calculated that three fine wooled sheep can be kept in an acre. We have heard experienced men calculate the number ns high as five to the acre. The following is an estimate from Mr. Randall for keeping sheep ; u th* latitude

Those obtained by breeders and : flockmasters. Mr. Randall states that his entire flock of full blood Merinos sheared a little i more than six pounds of wool per head. ; The following is an extract from a letter from Hon. R. F. Simpson of South Carolina, to Mr. Randall: •The Allegheny Mountains, as you are aware run from N. E. to S. W. That I part of them north of South Carolina line lies spread out in indifferent chains or ridges to a distance of nearly 50 miles, and the whole region is called on the j mountains. The climate is healthy and the grass fine. Many of the valleys in ■ this region are rich, particularly on the water courses. The ground is covered with snow as much as four weeks annual- i ly. The land is cheap, say 81 per acre, , but much can be bought at 50 cents. I ! have learned from good authority that j sheep can be farmed out during the winter at ten cents per head on any ordinary I quantity.’ 'This will serve as a bssis on which any one can estimate the expense of keepi ing sheep in the mild climate of the South; ■ We add several calculations which were ; presented by a committee to an Agricul- ' tural Society in the South: Table No. 1. is a calculation for New | , York, estimating sheep at 82 each; land | at 820 per acre; the sheep yielding upon ; ; ; the average, three pounds of wool; the lambs estimated at 80 cents each. The result shows a profit of 24 per cent, per annum on the investment, and makes the ; cost of the wool 27 cents per pound. Table No. 2, is for a location in the , i Southern mountains, where summer pasture costs nothing, and winter feeding is called twenty cents per head. The sheep | are estimated at 8 t per head; yielding 2 i pounds wool each, worth 20 cents per . pound, and the lambs are called worth , 81 each, when one year old. The re- ’ suit of this table shows a profit of 85 per i cent, on the investment. Table No. 3, is for a section of the \ Southern country south of the mountains, i This table shows on an investment of , $715 which includes a shepherd’s labor a profit of more than ICO percent. Here ( ' however, nothing is reckoned for the use I of the land. Another calculation is as • follows, in regard to the increase of . flocks, as given by practial men in Ohio, - Pennsylvania, and New York. Put down every year l-9th less than . vou have ewes, then deduct one-tenth . from the whole for deaths in that year. Thus, you have 89 lambs; total, 180; . deduct one-tenth for deaths, 17 and you have 171 to start with next year. This calculation run on for eight years, and deduct expenses, shows a profit of more than fifty per cent, compounded. We have not space to present any statements in regard to the profits of sheep raised for mutton, but we are informed by practical and intelligent men, ; that they exceed those which can be abtained, for wool, provided the flecks are near cities and railways. — Cincinnati Gazette.
