Give them a goodasized yard, and, better, a few hours' run in a corn field each day when the snow le not too deep ; it does them good. The ctxperienced shepherd long ago learned to give his breeding ewes during the winter plenty of exercise, fresh air and a variety of coarse feed and a plentiful supply of pure water and salt, as these are requisite for a crop of strong, healthy lambs, while ewes that are closely confined during the winter have poor and weakly lambs. es No hoor other stock should be allowed to run with the flock cm ht any way annoy or frighten them. Quiet, gentle and familiar handling of the flock will have a good in- fluence on the coming crop of lambs. No class of stock is more susceptible of kindly treathient than sheep, and it is a pleasure as well as profitable to handle them so. At lambing time, especially with early lambs, close attention is very. necessary. Ile on hand and see that each lamb it up on its feet at once, a.nd partalcing of a square meal. First clip the wool from the ewe's udder so that the lemb does net exhaust itself pulling on a wool tag. in his efl'ort he may pull off some wool and swallow it, which frequeetly causes death.

EGG,--PRODIj'CING The beet 'foocl making hens lay is lean meat. When the supply of eggs fails, stop all other foods and feed lean meat or liver, (any cheap meat will answer), and it will be found superior to anything that can be used. Green bone that contains a large proportion of green meat is even better, prided the fat por- tions are removed from the bone. It will be found cheaper than grain be- cause it will make eggs. One rea- son why hens sometimes fail to lay when they have plenty of grain is that they require a change, and meat contains the 'material for slip - plying the albumen_ of the 'eggs, be- ing-, therefore, a substance that the hens -lust have or tbey cannot per- form service. If the hens are fat, give one ounce of lean meat each day, allowing no -other food foie ea week or two. Wheat usually costs about a ' cent- a pound, and during some years corn in certain sections. is nearly as high. Now, the cost of the foods is netein ethe,kina, bat in the respits.

If a target amount of grain is used it will be found that by using less of grain and more of meat combination of the two foods in winter will be better than the use of either alone ; but in summer lean meat and cut bone is the best ra- tion that eal3 be given, leaving the grain out entirely.

I have sometimes feared that they did not get enough of this kind of food to properly de- velop their young, and be successful at farrowing tithe, but they have always done well, I have never had sows thjered by borses or cattle wheu wintered in same lot with them. I put a small house in the lot, sullIciently large for shelter, and the lots are too small for the stock to get on a rampage anti run over the sows. One reason they are kept in the lot this way, is that when they hunt their shelled corn ration they work up all coarse material, so that it is easily handled as manure. Of course they cannot carry rings and do this, and this fact prevents their being allowed the range of the bluegrass pasture. It would be much better if they could have both. The grass they get is a great help and health giver, and the exercise also a great factor. This they must take in the lot to get their feed. A healthy brood sow is never slow to take exercise in fair weather, unless she is fed too much and made lazy. It is their nature when in farrow. to lay on fat, but this should not be made by corn alone, but vath a large per cent. of other foods rich in protein.

With the exception ol a little portage of about half a mil5 between two hikes, the whole journey was by ice and WELS no very formidable un- dertaking to the twosturdy log makers. As they were hobbling over the Portage on their skates, they wero startled by the sudden treakirg across their path of a red deer fol- lowed by three or icier wolves, who were close upon the heels of tear preu. Being without neive wea- pons of eny kind, they realleed their dent-er if anoteer pack of evolve.% should. as is often the case, follow after the beasts they had ecen para and they made all speed to the lake . before, them. Just as they were breaking throrgh the thin Inc et the lake side, they heard a whinieg behind thole and then THE LOW HOWL wench Wild them that their traok bad been discovereel and that they would; certainly be followed, But by the time the wolves reached the water- side, where they caught, their first sight of the me11 they wore tracking, the two shantymen lsad reached the firm ice and were skating in earnest. Fortunately for them there were a few hundred yards of thin ice to be crossed, which almost,' but not galte hold up the wolves, a,nd its sharp edges wounded and hindered them greatly. Otherwise 'they would have caught up with the men, and prob- ably have overpowered them 'before - they had gone half a nine. As it was they had almost over- taken them before they had covered, the first half of their four -mile race. Neither of the men was a hunter and this was their first experience with wolves. But by mutual ;agree- ment -they adopted the very best tac- tics possible; and when their pure Biters came too near to them, 'wheel,* ed sharply to. one side.. As the. emooeh ice afforded no grip to 'their claws, the wolves could not -turn or stop suddenly, • but generally-, &hat. forward and made several el:ambles, and sometimes somersaults bef Ora getting en to the free& track.„ In this manner the skaters avoided the brutes for some time, and would probably have reached their destinse• tion but for an unfortunate angel, - tion of the younger man, that they would be more likely to tire out the wolves if they separated. In record - fence with this plan they wheeled in different directions at the end of an island they were approaching. As the elder rnan reached thsother end of this .wooded ishuiel he saw be- fore him the sparks whites, issued; from the huge chimney -of the shanty he was searching for.
