WATER.

As the success Of wintcring sheep de-
pends much on water, this part Of the
subject requires due attention. Ifiuu-
ming water can be furnished in the yard.
from an unfailing spring, it is desirable.
as running water is little swoctcr than
that which has stood for time in tub
or trough but if this cannot be had, the
most convenient mode we can adopt. is
to dig wells in such positions, as will best
accommodate the locks, and if living
water cannot be had in the wells, the
caves Of the barns should be turn into
them. together with the water that will
drain into them during the wet season.
This will furnish Il supply where the soil
is strong clay, as is generally the case
with us.

If necessary We store the hay for oui
sheep in the upper part Of our sheer
barns, which renders the labor of fodder
ing much less than any other place Of
storage. During the time Of foddering
we turn the sheep into the yards aud
close the doors. until the hay is properly
distributed into the racks and boxes. i
both are used. and then we roll back the
large doors. which are ten or twelve feet
wide, and the whole flock enters and all
commence eating at once. If sheep arc
allowed to be present during the time oil
foddcring they huddlo very thickly n.
round, which renders it difficult to move
around among them, and their wool be.

ing in the open yard. These boxes make
the division in the yard for the different
Hocks. We usually divide our sheep in
to lots Of about so each, according to
age and sex. Though sheep would win
ter but poorly on straw alone, yet their
fondness for variety induces them to eat
n portion of it freely SO that what re-
mains in the boxes is gathered up and
used for bedding horses and cattle SO
that the straw during the winter is all
economically disposed Of. Horses or cat.
tie, Old or young, are never allowed to
run with sheep iu the winter.
HAY AND SALT.
Our lay is moderately suited at the
season Of cutting it. say. from two to four
quarts per ton; aud we always keep salt
in small boxes nailed to the side of the
barn, in a position easy Of access. that
sheep may cat so much Of it as their APP
rctitcs may require After sheep have
been kept for sometime without salt they
will frequently cat enough to destroy
life, if they can have free access to it. #
is no doubt as Lealthful for beasts to use
salt moderately. as it is to man.
Long experience and careful ojscrva
tion convince me tLpt small quantity
taken daliy Is much better than larger
one taken once week or ouce in two
weeks, as the case may bc.
If their daily food could be duly sea
soned with salt it would create a regular
and healthful thirst for water, which
should always stand in the barns where
the sheep are foddercd.
In very cold weather some sheep will
not 90 three rods for water. particularly
in the night time. and sheep consume
more water from the time of the evening
foddoring to, eight o'clock, than during
any other part Of the twerty.four hours
during the same length of time.
Since We have adopted the practice d
sailing our hay and having salt stand
constantly by the sheep. we have not lost

Judge Douglas and fEc Presidency.

We take the following from the Wash

what we have several times stated iii tic

The name of this distinguished gentleman
has been frequently mentioned IN connection
with the Office OF President OF the United
States. In several of the States, in differ
cnt sections of the Union, his claims upon
the confidence Of his party is,without doubt,
hailed with pleasure 10y his numerous friends
and admirers, and gratefully appreciated by
Judge Douglas himself.
From orr intimate acquaintance and po-
l.t.cal associations with Judge Douglas, how
ever we feel justified in stating that he nel-
Their desires nor would he receive the nomi
nation for the next term Of the Presidency.
We believe that unlike many of our states
men, he looks with an eve single to the
good Of his country, rather than to his OWN
personal adyancement-to the triumph OF
principles Of which he has been SO allie and
distinguished an advocate rather than 10

position in the Senate is such as to make
him the object of confidence with the whole

demonstrated that tile strctest construction

But, to all who know US, orr esteem for

honesty and enlarged patriotism. arc also
