Sheep Manure for Flax.—Mr. Leavenworth,
of Ann Arbor, stated to us a few days since,
that while he resided in Steuben county, N. Y.,
his sheep were yarded at night for two successive summers in a yard made for the purpose.—
He then plowed and planted to corn and had a
good crop; the next spring he sowed with flax
which grew so tall that he could stand among it
without shoes and bring the tops together over
his head and tie them. He had enlarged the' lot,
and on tha*. part not included wit lin the sheep-
fold the flax was much shor.er, and easily to be
ob 'erved by any one at. a distance. The soil
was what he called "a poor hard pan." The ii-
bove facts speak lou:lly in favor of sheep manure,
much of which might be saved by yarding sheep
of nights and not permit them to occupy, the
road to perplex the travej-er.—'Mich. Farmer. '.
