Take itod, Caro of the Lambe.
Partners, take good care of the
lambs, A lamb lost means that
!three or four dollars aro lost,
and, if pure bred; ten to twenty dol-
lars;
oltars; while, if a lamb is saved, these
amounts are saved. The lalpb crop
is all-irnportant in sheep husbandry.
If that is lost, the profit from sheep '
husbandry is lost; hence it is alliin .
portant that the closest attention bo
given to the lambs.
It is not pleasant visiting tllem in
the night, but sometimes it may be
accessary, and that it may be done,
when it is necessary, with the least
expenditure of labor, au alarm
clock should be kept to waken the
sleeper. He can then sleep soundly,
knowing that the faithful clock will
stand sentinel while lie is sleeping.
It may be well to bear in mind that
there is no necessity for waking up a
number of the family by the sound-
ing of the alarm. It can be made to
do its work in another way. It may
be put under the pillow, It will
then most assuredly waken the
sleeper without waking any one
else, unless it may be a companion
who may share his bed.
• it is well to see to it that the stove
is Well supplied with coal, before
seeking rest, or, where wood is used,
that a big chunk has been put into
it which will keep the fire in. The
boots should be left where they will
keep warm, the lantern near at hand
and 'ready to light, and the coat just
-where the hand can be laid upon it,
every in the dark.
There is always danger, at the
:lambing seaason,:tlat something may
go wrong. which the prudence of the
owner may make right, or may go
far to make right, and in this way
to avoid loss. A young lamb may

a little is drawn from the dant and
'given to it with a spoon, it may be
saved. . When twins !.ate produced,
one may wander away while the
dam gives attention to the other, and
may perish, or she may disown it.
At such a time, a record of the dates
of service will be of great advantage.
as it will then he known whether it
will be necessary to visit the flock
at night. Seine may say that care
is not necessary. . Let those who
think so take their way. We want_
our farmers to save their lambs.
Lambs are sometimes lost when
they a'e several clays old, and the
reason why is not known. The
farmer will sometimes go into the
shed and find a lamb dead without
any apparent reason. Now, this
generally happens when the sheds
are kept close, and when too many
:animals are kept in them. It is
more likely to happen in the time of
prolonged storms than at any other
time. At such seasons the bedding
gets damp, unless frequently supplied
and this also is probably associated
in some sense with the loss of the
lambs. Because of this, great care
.should be taken at such times. Ven-
tilation should be admitted, if pos-
sible, during a portion of • the time,
.and extra care should be taken to
supply bedcliiig often and plentifully.
The vitiated air and the loss of exer-
cise is probably responsible for the
death of the lambs. The vitiated air
hurts then) both directly and indi-
rectly, for it injures -the milk of the
dam.
It is important, therefore, to let
.the lambs have lots of fresh air..
They should be allowed to get in the
sun as frequently as possible. They
should have access to yards with
lots of bedding in them. To en-
courage them to take exercise some
persons go the length of making
spring -boards for them which they
can jump from as they play. . With
lots ofiresh air, and sunshine, and
'plenty of nourishment. the lambs
should do very well. 'Tiley are not
, likely to give trouble after they are
two, or three days old.
There may be seine trouble, how-
ever, er, when they are first allowed to
go to the field with the dams. If
the weather is nisi., and the ground
is damp, they may take injury from
lying on the filmic for any length of
time. Ailments frequently arise
frein this source, which may. end
'fatally; Some discretion, then, must
be exercised with reference to turn-
ing out the darns at that season of
the year.
In the: time of cold• rains, too, look
curt for the lambs, Dry cold does
• .,tot easily affect a lamb adversely,
but tt. cold rain will soon kill even a
strong lamb if exposed to it. i Vern
though :exposttrc to cold rain should
not cause death, it may Cense 5eriotu

Dehorning Cattle.
(From Ripley Express,)
For the benefit of 'readers of the
EXPRESS I give my experience in
dehorning cattle. Before I do so I
might say that I used to think that
a. man should be fined for cruelty to
animals, that would torture a dumb
beast by taking the horns off it.
And I have said as others say, that
horns would not havebeen put on
cattle if they did not require them.
In their wild state horns were neces-
sary for cattle to protect themselves
and their offspring from the attacks
of wild beasts ; but who will say they
are needed now for protection of any
kind. But on the other hand, who of
us in the cattle business does not see
every day- the pain and torture some
weaker animal is put to by- the horns
of a stronger one. And where is the
export shipper that has not lost in
pocket by the loss of the shell of ttic
horn of a bullock on the road to
market. ' It means several dollars
of a loss in every case, besides the
pain to the animal on the road over,
which I know by observation to be
sure, from the fact of getting it hurt
so often on the way. •
Well, after. getting what infor-
mation I could from men who had
tried it and seeing the benefit of it
in shipping for myself, I decided
Last fall to get a pair of dehorning
clippers for myself and try it. I
have deborned about seventy-five
head and in every case it has been
a success. I have taken them off
in very severe' weather and let cattle
outside and have had no loss, not
even in putting cattle back that
could be perceived, The blood
clots over the end of horn and pro-
tects from cold and when it begins
to scale off the horn comes oat healed'
over. Some cattle I• feed light for a
meal or two but most of' them eat as
if nothing had happened. I can take
a horn off as quick as I can cut a
string intwo with a pair of scissors.
And now what a pleasure it is to see
them like a flock of sheep drinking,
as -many as can get their noses into
the trough, and if 'one gets loose in
the stable no harm is done.
