An ounce of carbonate of magnesia is to be well* cqmbin ed with sixteen pounds of flour. It is to be leavened and baked in the usual <\vay of making bj-ead. The loaves will rise well in the oven, will be mor3 light and spongy, and also whiter than without the inagnesiae; Common flour is much improved in the same v ay. The bread will have an excellent taste and will kee ) well. •<* TO CLEANSE MAPIE SUGAR. After the molasses is partially drain*! from the tubs, lay a piece of cotton or tow cloth over thlLsugar, and ap- ply a cake of rye dough about an ifi^h tlni^ Jl^tdian corn dough will answer, but is not so good as. rye. The filth in the sugar will rise and adhere to the cloth, which should be changed or cleansed occasionally, ^as long as 'kny dirt rises. In this way, if «the sugar has mil been burned, it may be made nearly as white as loaf su^ar. A half pint of oat meal mixed with. a gallon, of water makes an excellent drink in warm weather. It is cooling, healthful,*a:nd'^|la^atea^lj^ b9in,^N|oth victuaj|^an4 drink One gallon of it is worth all the rum and whiskey 'that ever entered the haying field. y MEMORANDUM.

TO PRESERVE POTATOES. Potatoes are often spoiled in harvesting, by being left exposed to the air and sun, which renders them strong and watery. They should be picked up as soon as dug, and if not immediately removed to the cellar, should be kept covered with the tops orsomething else, even if they are to remain in the field but a few hours. When remov- led to the cellar, they should be put in a close bin so as 10 exclude the air. To effect this, make a bin of suffi- cient size, with several partitions, as tight as possible, raised a little from the cellar bottom ; put a couple of inch- es of fresh earth in the bottom of the biu, and then put in the potatoes, filling the bin within two or three inches of the top. Cover them immediately with tough grass turf, cut a little dove tailing, grass side up, packed close and pounded down with a mall, to exclude as much air as pos- sible. In this manner, in a cellar of suitable temperature, they may be kept a year without germinating. Keep separate pastures for hor$es and Cows. — *' We be- came satisfied many years 9go that sheep and mitch cows ought not to run together in the same pasture ; and we have kept them separate ever since, evidently to the in crease of our milk and butter. The last season I kept my horses and cows in separate pastures, to the very visible benefit of both. They bad a change of pasture as usiial, but were not suffered to run on the same grass. All ap- peared to be in better condition than, common, and the grass was of finer growth when compared with other sim- ilar fields in the neighborhood. I am satisfied that farmers suffer much loss by not attending to these small matters.'* The slanderer tells tales for the sake of giving his ene my an opportunity to prove him a liar. m # ;•>!■ al thoroughly ocess of mak- the Eastern 3d of making very year, and noted. 1 i by being left them strong s soon as dug, ar, fthould be B, even if they When remov- ose bin so as bin of suffi- t as possible, ;oupIe of inch [id then put in hrce inches of igh grass turf, ied close and ich air as pos- ! temperature, g- ■ >».—«' We he- ld miitch cows ure ; and we tly to the in- son 1 kept my i very visible ture as usiial, ass.

On this subject we beg to introduce the following extract from Sil- iraan's Journal, a scientific work, which duservedly ^^nks as high as any in America. He says : r. t " From their elevation and latitude, the grazing lands situated in the northern part of New- England, are best adapted for sheep. The great consumption of fodder, in- cident to long winters, so objection ahte to the raig«ngjj[ ly i'— »i im i i 1 cattle, is more than compensated to the merino sheep pro- prietor, by an improvement in the quantity and quality of tDOol^ which is much affected by climate. In tropical cliiuates Ihheep are dressed with hair — in more temperate, the wool jis generally short and coarse, but longer and finer in cold iregions. In Spain two and a half pounds of wool is tlic [average product of their merinos, and of a quality infer! jor to ours-HU the n.iddle states, and valley of the Hud json, the same ; on the elevated ground in the western jpart of Connecticut and Massachusetts — three, and in jsonie flocks, four pounds. In the southern and middle jparts of Vermont, from four to four and a half. In Maine ithe average is five, and in a few choice flocks, six pounds |ithe sheep. The best merino wool of Europe, is from the 'bleak mountains of Saxony. The quantity and quality of wool is also considerably affected by the food, manage- ment and selection of flocks. As nature bountifully pro- vides a dress for all animals according to their wants, furs Sire found to be good, and the staple long, in proportion td the coldness of climate. The northern parts of the Uniteil States and Canada, in addition to climate, have for-th« (raising of wool an important advantage ovur JKngZand,* and | the south of Europe, in the cheapness of soil — much land being necessary for the support of sheep." The farmers in New-England have an advantage over us in the price of wool, but then we have an advantage over them in the cheapness of land. Let us see, however, if wool cannot be profitably grown for exportation. The price of wool, in England, at the ipresent time, varies from 25 to 90 cents per pound, accor- |ding to quality, the low priced being the inferior Austral- ian wool, and the high priced the fine 'Saxony or Gorman wool. The average price, therefore, for middling wool, the kind for which there is generally the greatest demand, may he set down at 57 cents. The cost of exportation, from here, would reduce it« say, to 50 cents per poiflid. Now supppose a farmer to purchase a Hock of 100 sheep for $500, the interest on which would be $30, but. say $40. The increase of the flock, if properly managed, would pay the cost of keeping. TIio fleece may be fair ppro ity «/| i mates B wool in coW I 18 the inferi- eHud vestern and in 11 middle 1 1 Maine! pounds "rom the quality manage- illy fro jjursare n td the Unitext for- the nd,'and :.\ch landj ige over! [vantage 39 ly estimated at 3 lbs. per head, >vhich, at 50 cents per lb. is $150 ; and deducting $40, the interest on the first cost, leaves $110, clear profit on a flock of 100 sheep. What other branch of farming will yield an income like this 1 'But supposing the wool is manufactured into cloth, at home, or in a factory, instead of being exported to Eng- land. 300 lbs. of wool will make 300 yards of 3 quar tered cloth. The finest of merino wool may be manu- factured for 50 cents a yard. 300 yards, at 50 cents, is $150. Half-blood merino cloth usually sells here at $1,50, per yard, but say $1 25, and 300 yards amounts to $375. Deduct $190, the cost of manufacturing, and the interest on the first purchase, and there is left $185, net profit. In the above estimates, we have supposed that the in- crease of the flock would not only pay for the keeping, but keep the original number good. In flocks exposed to the ravages of wolves or dogs, this might not be the case, but with proper attention, and adopting an improved sys- tem of managing sheep, we apprehend the increase would be equal to what we have estimated it, and the fleece in- stead of averaging three pounds, might be made to aver age four or five pounds. But even supposing our esti mate to fall far short of the truth, the business may still be'entered upon with safety, and with a prospectof suc- cess far superior to that which any other branch of agri- culture holds out. We wish to press this subject upon the attention of ag- riculturalists, for it is perfectly evident that, with the pres- ent facilities for getting to market, any great degree of pr&sperity cannot attend their labors, unless they turn their attentit)n to some other staple articles of produce, than is now grown. And even if the rail-roads now pro jected in the townships, should be built, (and we see no reason why they should not,) the inducements for wool growing would still be great, as it would interfere only in a very slight degree with the other labors of a farm. The example of our neighbors, who are rapidly advancing in prbfiip^rity and wealth, principally from the growing of wool, should hot be lost upon us. ; .^^ . ^ ^1 . if 40 BREEDS OF SHEEP. In the preceding; article we have attempted to show the importance of Sheep Farming to the farmers of the Eastern Townships. In order that this business way be entered upon with the greatest prospect of success, the best breeds, suited to the climate, should be obtained. On this subject a diversity of opinion of course exists. As the results of actual experiment are the best test, we copy extracts from a communication of an eminent wool grow- er in Otsego county New- York, published in the Albany Cultivator. In answer to the question, " Of what breed or stock, had a beginner better conipose his flock, his ob- ject being the growing of fine wooll " the following an swer is given: " Pure Merino, crossed with high bred South Downs." Of Saxony sheep the writer says : "Saxony sheep un doubtedly produce the finest wool, but their fleece is light, seldom exceeding 2i lbs. in weight, and is too open to resist our storms. They are feeble in constitution— re quire great care— are poor nurses, and their lambs are raised with great difficulty. The mutton from such sheep must necessarily he of a miserable description." " The old fashioned pure Merino sheep, imported by Col. Humphrey, were a much better constitution she?p, and more than made up in quantity for the difference in quality of their fleece— the close thick texture of their wool resisted our cold wet storms— their lambs much ea- sier raised— the ewes much better nurses, and on the whole I am convinced they are much more profitable than the Saxony. I must however remark here are several va rieties of the Merino sheep, and I would carefully avoid the "gummy" fleece family, which, however, must not be confounded with that, which, though of a dark color, contains only the grease which renders it impenetrable to the weather ; the former being very objectionable to the manufacturer, while the latter is readily cleansed and; worked." I desire to be understood ai speaking of the pure breeds, and not of gradt sheep. I feel well astured that there are very few individuals tff the pure unnized blood to be found," in this country. show 3f the lay be s, the I a'med. s. As ecopy grow- Ubaoy I breed his ob- ag tn-l int." sep un- is light, open to on— re bs arel sheep Rmmnomeraa 41 " The South Downs are as yet but little known in this country, but in my opinion, are decidedly better calcula- ted than any other for the domestic purpose of our farm- ers. They are a medium size, beautiful in their forms, large loins, broad chested, fine in the head, small boned, and fine in the fleece, which averages 4 lbs. in the ewes ; the busks reach to 7 lb. ; in quality it is equal to half blood Merino, but stronger in its filament, and entirely im penetrable to storms of snow, sleet or rain ; they are re- gardless of our coldest weather, and possess hardier con- stitutions than any sheep I know. The wethers attain to about 28 lbs. per quarter, and are allowed to be the best mutton sheep in England, the meat being dark in color, short grained, mild in flavor, and juicy. They are excel- lent nurses, and quick feeders. Here again I beg to be understood as alluding to the pure and high bred South Do^n ; such as it is found in the sheepfolds of the great sheep- masters in Sussex ; not the common unimproved animals of tlie Downs, weighing 14 lbs. per quarter, and carrying but 3 1-4 of wool.'* <« For ihe last three years, prepftrative to commencing my own ilock, I paid much attention to the sheep hus- bandry of this district. * * * I collected after 18 months search, about 30 full bred merino sheep, pure as imported, known to be directly descended from those im- portations. The.r quality ot wool is as fine as perhaps any grade Saxony around me. The ewes will average 4 lb. fleeces. My South Downs imported from the celebra- ted flocks of Mr Ellman in England, whose two year | wether sheep beat all England last Christmas, at Smith- field, and took the first prize." «' From Mr Ellman, I procured six yearling ewes and a yearling buck ; the ewes have wintered in a yard with an j open fence, and an open shed, closed only at the back ; i they Umbed there from the 23rd to the 28th ot February, j on which day the thermometer was at 4 deg. On the Istj 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th of March the thermometer in thej shade,* was from zero to as low as 6 deg. below zero, at. sunrise ! and yet my lambs, young as they were, never ^ suflfered in the least from the cold ; they never showed the[ slightest consciousness of its intensity ! and are aUhjwedj^ D I ^ it 42 T V rrT^r: v wrri^.'ffrr by all who call to see then:, to lie the finest lambs theyj Never saw. * * Again I must insist that I do not allude to the unimproved breed ; 1 do not allude to the South '] Downs of Cully's day, from whose writings 1 have seen several extracts as doscriptivo of the breed, nor do I in-! elude the Hampshire Downs ; I confine myself to the' high bred sheep of the present day; and if any would op-l pose to them the fast rooted prejudice of high breeding be- i ing inseparable from delicacy, 1 would further add, that' Mr EUnaan's flock turns out more lambs than ewes ! av-L eraging 750 lambs annually, for several years, from GaOi! owes. 1'. ' A strong advocate myself for purity of blood, and a known line of ancestry, whicli confers excellence by de- 1 |scent, still I believe, for this county, the most valuable j description of sheep may bo raised by judiciously crossing Uhe Merino and South Downs, thus uniting the fine tleece! 'of the one with the beautiful carcase of the other, and; i gaining at once a constitution suited to our climate. Thisj was done some years since on the introduction of thej Merinos into England, and was attended by the most flat tering success, the flocks be»ting every other for the coai BIN CD excellence of wool and carcase." Rakley For Ho,G6. It is the opinion of many farm- ers in the townships, who have made trial of barley for fattening hogs, that a bushel of it is equal to a bushel of corn. As barley is a sure crop, easily raised, and abun- Idanlly productive, Cforty or fifty bushels being easily rais- ed from an acre,) it is highly worthy the attent*ion of farm- ers. It does well en ordinary land, but the richer the soil the thicker it may be sown, and the larger the crop. It should be ground and conked for hogs, the same as oats.

Reader, iiaveyou ever visited tl»e abode of a drunkard 1 Have you ever gazed upon the sunken eyes, the dwind- ling frame of her wl.o left a joyful llrcside, bade adieu to parents, brothers, aitd sii'itcrs, to place her hopes of hap* piness upon the rectitude of conduct and the purity of love of him who promised to be her guide, her protector, and her friend 1 Ob ! view her now, in the agony of :. $ A human being wel tird.

Let us now turn our eyes from that which is loathsome to the sight, and once more surv^ey the apartment of his wife. She is now shivering with cold ; the clock hath told the mid- night hour; the candle is wasting in its socket; her eyes are swollen with weeping. On the table lay the book of life, and a vial labelled laudanum. Her " bane and antidote are both before hsr,** uncertain which to choose. Her wedded life has been a scene of misery ; her prospects are forever blasted. Oh that she could bear| up a little longer. Are there any hopes of her husband reforming? Will he again love her, and be to her all that ho promised 1 Or must she die by her own hand, and stand before the bar of God a self murderer ! Oh no she does not wish to die. Oh that she might again be happy. Her husband is now approaching ; he is enraged, beastly drunk ; he curses her, strikes her, Oh God, he has mur- dered HER ! ! And has the innocent being he has thus deprived of life, been guilty of any crime/ No indeed, she has been the same virtuous and dutiful female from the time sho left her parental roof, until her body is sev- ered from her soul. Alas, she has fallen a sacrifice to the devotedness of her attachment, a victim to the wrath of an intemperate husband. And will not those having d^iUghters in whose welfare they are interested, confer their aid upon a work so important in its operations, so 1 grand in its objects, so noble inits bearings, as that which has raised the banner of moral reformation, and sounded the trumpet of total abstinence from intoxicating drinks 1 The Temperance Reformation seeks to advance, no pri- vate interest— purposes to promote no selfish view, desire to be influenced by no political feelings, — but aims at higher, nobler objects. It wishes to rid this land of one of the greatest and most alarming evils which ever befel a nation. It would restore to society the lost and degra- ded dmnkard. It would light up with joy the fireside of the poor ! It would dry up the tears of the suffering, the weeping, the broken hearted wife. It would rescue from the den of infamy, from the abode o^ vice, the intempe- rate father, and restore him to the bosom of his family. — It would snatch from an untimely grave the aged mother, mmmm lanc woi ]son arrc are li'cauj iinar] jits f Ithe iserv ,|(he 1 assis limust Fa lAmei the li than ' ered i jtion G 'jence • Col fare tl !drinkJ The Ha^ foil ovel Adi Ho^ Caj Caij MBJMjy ii J i iJM.i ' W awriiiea Bavgia i i -jBr .tX^.M »-j.Mmjiu_ ii j| i u i . * ' u ww^gyyy^yi 45 and render the evening of her life calm and smooth ! It would keep in the even tenor of his way the wandering son, and lead him on to ijonor and to jiiicatnei-.s. It would arresit the commission of crime — reduce tiic cl'.s(?s of insan- jity, and diminish the amount of paujieiisin. T'lese then are the objects it aims to accomplislj. What a blessed jcause ! What a glorious work ! O that the influence of iman might speed it onward ; the efforts of women spread jits progress ; the prayer of the widow render it hallowed ; Ithe tears of the orphan bear evidence of its utility ; the services of the poor he enlisted in its behalf. Let it have the father's support, the mother's protection, the wife's assistance, and, with the blessing of God Almighty, it must, it will be triumphant.— Tourna/ Commerce. Facts justify the conclusion, [says (he 8th report of the American Temperance Society,] that alcohol has, within the last thirty years, cut off, in the United States, more than thirty million years of human probation, and ush- ered more than a million of souls, uncalled, and in viola- tion of the command, ''thou shalt not kill," into the pres- ence of their Maker.
