SHELTERING SHEEP.-ln this section
of the country. we believe it is the U.s.
ual practice of farm RS to furnish suita-
bic shelter for their sheep during the
winter; aud it requires no argument to
prove the utility of the practice. There
are, however, some exceptions, and
many, perhaps, are not aware of the full
injury which sheep suffer from exposure
to the drIzzling rains, sudden changes,
and driving storms of winter. A cor
respondent of the Albany Cultivator,
thus relates his experience in the matter ::
-"In-the winter of IS47-S, Iput one
hundred sheep to stack, and gave them
plenty of hay and some grain through
the winter. The loss was over 20 per
cert. have no doubt they ate fourth
mere than the same numbers that were
protected, of which the loss was only
Two per cent. In consequence of this
result, huilt ample sheds during the
past summer, provided with hay lofts
one 90 10y 20, and another 30 by 30 feet.
Il will Just observe for the benefit of
those who are building sheds of this
kind, that "a feet is about the proper
width, and the additional expense of four
feet is trilling) These sheds are set to
two barns. and enclose the yard on three
sides. Here, in separate divisions, l
have kept my sheep the past winter.
They had good hay and plenty of water.
and the yards were slrawed three times
week. | fed some grain 10 my lambs
in winter, and gave some TO ewes in
spring. Ny loss up to April 18th, is
half Of one per cent. Many of my sheep
were in low CONDITION in the fall, yet |
would like to compare them with any
flock ofthe same number, that have had

WoULD YOU BE WEALTHY The es-
tate of the present Duke of Athol Is SAID to
be immense. On his estate there are thirty
six miles of private roads for carriages, and
more than sixteen miles Of well made walks,
which are being extended every year. These
roads and paths, being made for pleasure,
are laid through the most romantic and pic
turesque scenery; along the rivers bank, up
the Glen, cut in the deep sides Of the noun
tains, and over their tops, and along the
margin of the PERCEPTIONS cliffs; now into
the forest gloom-now opening on a bound
less prospect, or some sweet vale now burst
ING on waterfall. and next along the sides
of a murmuring brook. The present Duke
began, in his lifetime, one OF the most magni'
ficent palaces in the kingdom. 1t is sad
tina, in the estimate of the cost of the edifice,
the single item of raising the walls and put
ting on the roof, together with the mrterlals,
