SuEEP.-All that is necessary to do
with ewes in lamb is to allow them q
sufficicncy Of fresh grass, shifting them
from one part Of the farm to the other,
60 a. to prevent the land from getting
foul. Keeping them merely in . fresh
condition. Is much more preferable than
giving them such keeping as will fat
ten them; for in this case there is
greater risk from Inflammation al
lambingtime, and the lambs Of fat ewes
arc always small. Sheep intended fo'
the butcher, Or young sheep-that i
lambs Of the past season-require 4
be kept differently, receiving an allow
