There is no linea of the year when Skill and good judgment, can be used to letter advantage in handling the flock I limn just now. A blunder or a little mis- management management may mean the loss of a large percentage of the year's crop of lambs, which means a great reduction • 1 the profits from the flock fur the whole year, writes Mr. N. A. Clapp. ' Now, when every lamb represents a considerable money value, it will pay well to devise and follow those mesons which are most likely to produce the beet results. It is not safe to take any go- Il.cky-and-take-the-chances scheme; the sw•r•sl is by far the safest way and wilr pay the best in the end. It is presumel that all flocks have been well fed by giving a variety of feeds end base been allowed a consider- able exercise. If such is not the case, It is a good plan to begin now and do letter by them and give the best possible donee from now on. 1f the ewes have not been having some ):rain, it is a good time to legis Them now. A mixture of equal parts in bulk of wheat bran and oats is a greet feed. Commence by feeding lightly, say a peck to 50, and increase the amount a tittle each day until you ore feeding a half bushel of the mixture twice per day. 11 they are thin h1 flesh and the ;:rain is likely to start the wool, give a light feed- ing of roots each day. 11 the flock has not been having a var- iety of roughage in the form of clover hay, bean ports, corn stalks, etc., add, if possible, some one of them to Ilio ration. It you have been feeding largely of tim- othy hay, by all means use clover and cornstalks from now on. Do not expect that the ewes will keep in good condi- tion and give the hobs a good start h1 life on a narrow ration made of mostly timothy hay. The different kinds of ti r straw malre excellent bedding, but the ewes will not cat much of it from now until grass comes. It seems to be the custom of many to clean out ti►e manure in the ell ep sheds nlout mid -winter, and 501110 wait until later, just before lambing time. If you did not clean the shed some time ago, so as to have a good necumutntion of manure and bedding before lambing 1 time, do not clean it out now and then iy you had bad luck, when you have compelled the ewes to drop their lambs on the cold ground and Many of thele have died in consequence. It is safer to put up with some in• onveniences on your part, and let the little lambs have the warmth of the manure bed on which to start on the journey of life.. If the rata has been allowed to run with the flock all winter, he should be taken out now, as the rough meaner in '\tech lie is likely to treat the ewes, when they are closely confined, will cause some of limn to drop their lambs prematurely. As the time approaches for the loads to begin to conte accustom the flock to being confined in the shed al night, but give them plenty of pure air. Trent there kindly, and be with them a good deal, so as to let them become accustomed to yc•nr presence. Now keep the shed well bedded with clean, dry straw. If you have a record of the lime 118 ram Was put with the !leek, you will know when to look for the first arrivals. The first lambs will 040110 about five days before the end of the 11111, month. If there is a stoma about that time, be on the lookout, and be on hand to ren- der assistance when needed. It. is a good plan to partition off some little pens 4 or 5 feel square on one side of the shed, and us the !reels arrive put the mother and tomb in them. which will prevent the flock running over the little fellows when small. When in the small pen, one can help the lamb to get his first meals, if necessay, meth easier than if running in with the flock. 11 young ewes are inclined to disown their )mals, they se pretty sure to become at- tached to 1110111 atter being confined with tensa n few dies. When the ewes have been well fed and 1110 milk starts at tine proper lime, they enjoy having the ud- der relieved occasionally, n1ihl the mater- nal feelings seem to nsscrt themselves very readily. After tho first lambs gel started. a pince can be fixed where the mothers en! lambs can run together and use the emelt pens for the new nrt•i\ ads. This ui1 rangemenl makes it very convenient for feeding grain end roots to the ewes, and in such quantities as they Aeon to nerd them The hest of clover hay Ahould be supplied at this time end the little lambs soon learn to nibble the heads and leaves, which will help them. If a creep lints is furnished far the I.Irnbs to ruin through into nn ndjoining stall er room. they will enjoy a play there and enn be coaxed to int some groin, like n little bran and middling;, taut in a Imugh high enough sn they can mei' it. but not run river i1 and get dirt in it.

The groin fed the lambs will relieve the ewes lo n cnnsidernblc extent and help to give the )ambo a gond start in life. When lambs corse during n enld snap, it the ewe and lambs are put in the emelt pen, a false covering put up just above the sheep's black when she is standing up, to keep the cold air from canting on therm from above, They will soon wenn up. and come out all right. If the lamb can be made comfortable until he gets dry, he will not be likely to succumb to the cold. Heart and kidney Maladies Have Been Successfully treated in Copenhagen. Successful experiments have been car- ried out in Copenhagen in the Treatment of heart and kidney melodies with 1110 Finsen light rays, and a new hospital for the treatment of patients suffering from those diseases is to be built close to the Finsen Light Cure Institute for the treatment of lupus, which is always crowded with patients. This new extension of the lupus cure was planted by Professor Finsen him- self shortly before Isis death in Septem- ber last, and experiments have been in progress for the past y'enl' at the Finsen Institute for the purpose of ascertaining the effect of concentrated chemical rays upon the living organism. in the event of the success which has now been achieved, it was Professor Fit►sen's wish that a new hospital should be estab- lished in Copenhagen. USED 1N LONDON. At the London Hospital. ss here Finsen lamps have been in use for more than six years for the treatment of lupus, the news of the success that has been achieved at Copenhagen was received with great interest, and messages were despatched for fuller details. Experiments have been curried on for some time at the Finsen light deport- ment of the hospital on other diseases than lupus, which was that for which the installation was primarily mode. Ordinary skin diseases have been treated, and even baldness has come in for altenlion, but the results have not been entirely encouraging, Mr. Adler, who is in charge of the Finsen light de- partment, staled that they knew the authorities at Copenhagen had been try- ing some novel developments of their work. and especially as to the cure of That painful ailment, angina pectoris. CURES LUPUS. There is one point which requires clearing up. The Finsen light does not penetrate for into the system, and ex- perts do not undo -eland how either the heart or the kidneys can have been reached. The London hospital will re- peat the experiments as soon as the technical details have been received from Copenhagen. The success of filo Finsen light in the cure of lupus continues to be most ninrkrd. one the experts are agreed that They ore only on the thres- hold of the discoveries involvcd in the use.of chemical rays in curative proc- tice.
