"NorIoNs,, ON roDDEHING STOCK.

Ny part of the "chores," this winter, is to
do the 'out-door foddering"-to attend to the
wants of the sheep and cows kept in the barn
yard. 1 have forty sheep and thirty lambs,
five COWS and two yearling heifers, to care for,
and, I tell you, it takes some Calculation" as
well as attention to keep them all contented.-
I say contented, 1 hold contentment to be the
':millenial state" of all domestic animals. Con-
tented they will be, if they have food when
hungry, drink when dry, quit when disposed
to be meditative, a warm shed and good bed to
retire to at pleasure. L don't say l always sue
coed in attaining this 'acme of comfort" but
it is what I calm at"
The sheep ave a shed and yard by them
selves the lambs ditto. The COWS also have
sheds, and the remainder of the yard. Think
it would be a good plan to give the yearlings
-"Cherry' and "Beulah 2d"-a yard and
shed by themselves, so that they need never
stand in awe of their maternal parents, who
punish all impertinence severely. My wa
tering place is a pond about five rods outside
the yard, and is kept open through the day.
Nowadays, I am feeding corn-stalks, oat
cGldn IL CHdu, olo oVIdm. udJ-
light, 1 give my cattle a feeding of corn-stalks,
and sometimes let out the sheep to partake of
the same. 1 give the lambs a feeding of bean
straw at this time. 1 say, "sometimes let out
the sheep" Not unless the yard is frozen dry,
do I do this; and on the state of the yard, also,
depends the amount of stalks given out at once.
If wet, L only give half as much, and feed
-. II -.J al - Ill l..
time, I give the sheep a quantity of oat chaff
in their feeding boxes, and hut them into
their yard. now let out the lambs, to allow
them to get water, and feed from the straw
stacks, through the middle of the day.
At noon, I feed call around with oat straw.
The middle of the afternoon, slop the mich
COWS, shut the lambs into their yard, and open
that of the sheep, giving, if previous foddering
is eaten up pretty clean, a promise of early
faddering before shutdown. Then the lambs
have oat chat, the sheep bean straw, and the
COWS corn-stalks once more. If the weather
is wet, and the stock seem to have poor appe-
titles, I give at night a foddering of good hay ;
or, if more convenient, do SO at noon.
Now let me tell my troubles; perhaps
some of your correspondents can give a remedy.
There will come showing and thawing days,
when everything is wet, and barn-yards and
sheds are generally muddy, however well they
may be Uttered. I never had a rack or feed
ing-box which would keep corn-stalks from get
ting under the feet of COWS in such weather.
I never had stock that would eat their fodder
as clean on such days as in clear cold weather;
so 1 then give them a little of my best hay,
once a day, a few corn-stalks, and let them fill
up at the straw stacks, if more is wanted. My
sheep have racks under sheds; so I get along
rather better with them. j. H B.

THE USE OF TRIALs.-It is not in the light
and sunny places of the wilderness that the
traveller most sweetly reposes. 1t is under the
shadow of a great rock, or in the depth of a
sequestered valley; and Ii it is SO with a Chris
tian. The sun of prosperity withers our joys,
and changes the green leaves into the sickly
colors of autumn. Adversely is like the win
ter, which prepares the ground for the recep-
ton of the seed, and for the rich and glowing
luxuriance of springtime.
