WHEN / DREAM.


In bright Dream Land oft | wander,
Muse mid fairy scenes, and ponder
Der its gently soothing beauties,
Half forgetting LIES stern duties.
- When l dream,
All is past Of blight and sorrow,
And wait the coming morrow,
As replete with joy and gladness
For me; then Danish sadness.
When dream,
Fairy scenes float through my vision
OF bright skies and fields elysan,
And catch a distant cleaning
Of that light from Heaven bcaming.
When dream,
Earth seems distant more, and nearer
Seems bright Heaven; and closer, dearcr
Draw those angcl-guardian spirits
To my heart and fondly cheer it.
ff In its dreams,
Low, sweet tones Of music thrilling,
Float On fragrant zephyrs, telling
OF seraph-peopled Heaven,
To unfetterod spirits given;
-. And seem
on to hear bright angels whispering
Near me, and their garments, glistening,
Fit before my dreamy vision
AS they pass ON loves sweet mission
Mid my dreams.
But wake and Life il real
Yet know the fair Ideal
Poured new life into my spirit,
And still fondly fingers near it.

Our stock bucks We commence feeding again
about the middle Of September, and continue a
small quantity of feed until they are turned DOT

~ the YARD, from an uniainng spring, u II ueslr-
able, az running water Is little swceter than
that which has stood for a time ia atnb or
trough but IL this caunot be had, the most CON
yenient mode we can adopt, is 70 dig wells III
such positions, rs will best accommodate the
nocts, and II living water, cannot be had in the
wells, tho caves Of the barns should be turned
into them, together with the water that will
drain into them during the wet season. This
will furnish supply where the soil Is strong
clay, as is generally the case with us.
FEED ron EWES.
breeding ewes that come into the winter in
high flesh, will do well on hay alone, II II is Of
the best quality iftho hay is poor or damaged,
Il would be well to feed them some wheat bran
or shorts, through the winter, OF UP to the time
Of lambing, which commences about the middle
Of March with US. We % no, feed oil mcal
before lambing. but after they have dropped
their lasabs, they arc put 10 place by them.
selves we then use il We have il, corn, rye,
oats, and peas ground, mixed with oil meal, and
shorts, in about equal quantities by weight
We feed as much as is necessary 10 keep the
ewes and lambs in a growing condition, as much
80 as good bite Of grass would do, IL they were
in the pasture. Much depends on the quality
OF hay.
CARE or LtxHs.
lambs, during the first winter, require spcial
care, and should DO kept growing during the
whole winter, AZ steadily as in tae summer sea
son.
Oats ground, mixed with oil meal, makes a
good feed for them. Here the quantity should
be regulated by the condition of the lambs and
quality of hay.
rAfHINc BUCKS AND EWES.
We commence putting our bucks with the
ewes about the middle Of October. During tho
time the bucks and ewes are together, some one
is always present to take care Of them. and Sc
lect the buck bcs, suited to each particular eve
In this, much care and experience are needfnl
10 breed successfully. The qualities Of the
buck and eve need to be well understood, To
realize an expected result.
now WE MARK.
Our custom is 10 let the buck serve the eve
bot once, and mark is then put upon the eve
corresponding 10 the one on the buck she took ;
and when the lamb is dropped, ii is numbered
the same as the mother, so that careful exam
nation may be made during the season, and be-
fore the bucks are used again, and good judg-
ment formed as 10 the qudlties Of fhe 5licts for
each ess.
usE YOUNG BucKs CAREFULLY.
An young bucks should be used moderately.
and with care until iheir stock getting qualities
are well established.
