There is no linea of the year when

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

there and enn be coaxed to int some
groin, like n little bran and middling;,
taut in a Imugh high enough sn they can

in it. As a lamb abhors filth and will

trough should be cleaned nt )east 01100 a
(ley and n fresh supply furnished. 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

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.
