A cool dry apartment should be selected

IVcaning.-Weaning, where milking is
not practiced, ought TO be set about in the
end of July or beginning Of August. In
some places, the eve lambs are never spean-
led, but allowed to 90 at large with their
mothers; and though by this plan the dam
is apt TO be kept in poor condition, yet is
7 this countorbaanced by the comparative free
dom o(the hogs from braxy. As an improve
ment, however, the Gunner lambs may be
withheld for a fortnight from their mothers,
and at the end Of that time may be permitted
TO pasture with them.
When the udders of the ewes appear, af-
ter their separation from the lambs, to be
much dstended, they may be once or twice
MIXED, to prevent bad consequences; but
1t is much better to obviate the necessity for
this, by reducing their allowance of food for
few days. When the animal seems to suf-
fer much irritation about the udder, it will al
! ways be safe 10 give a brisk dose of any OF
the common saline purgatives.
he store lambs are at this period sent to
good pasture, or, where the farm cannot af-
ford it, are Summercd at distance; that is
to say, the farmer pays so much a head iol
permission to feed his flock, during couple
OF months, on another persons ground, al
the end of which period they are turned upor

,, the glmmers, they having been sent to loir
