Some folks predict a sheep famine in this country within a few years. This should be a Mut to every farmer to put an a few sheep. If sows are to be changed from one pen to another, lead them eta with a pall of s1op.pe grain. Corn scattered in the ground as a guide is a good way. A scare in the sheep flock is worse than three days' tusking, and poor feeding foreruus fail- ure, At mating time the boar and sow should be in the pink of con- dition to produce the best re- sults.. The more rapidly the lamb le grown the more delicious the meat. In this era of cheap woven Nitre fences there is absolutely no excuse for narrow, i11 smell- ing bog bouses near the house. *TrITYVYVYVIIT IVIITTVYYYYYa • Morris.
