From the American Agriculturstl
How 10 Raise every Live born Lamb.

%1OW W 1SdA0N S'S
Mr. ED1roB
Feeding week lambs with fresh cows milk is
often Indispensable the old methods of doing
this are too troublesome, but in the following
manner dozen or more may be fed with little
or no difficulty, and in the same time ono could
be in the common way, while the lambs need not
be taken from the ewes. STOPPING down take
up the lamb by grasping its right foreleg at the
fetlock with the three last fingers of the right
hand (the thumb and forefngers touching the
ground), at the same time taken its left foreleg
in the same manner with the left hand-then
raise up, lifting it, hanging by its forelegs with
its back towards you-holding its head few
inches under your chin. Insert the thumb and
forefnger of each hand into its mouth elevating
and prying it acide open Then allow stream
of cows milk to flow slowly into the lambs mouth
from yootr oacn mouth as fast as it can swallow
The milk will strangle it little, and occasion it
to struggle some, but this will not iEjure it in
the least, and after few feedings the lambs
will huddle around you and stick out their noses,
begging to be fed.
In cold or wet weather watch them carefully,
and feed every feeble or half starved lamb with
one or more mouthfus of cows milk, and at
night feed them until they look middling full,
which can be seen by the distension of their ribs
This is the Scotch method, and I have seen the
most wonderful success from it. Some years
ago, when engaged in the business of wool grow
ing in western New York, / had the largest
number of lambs in proportion to the ewes, and
the largest and most evenly sized flock, raised
by this method, by Scotehman, that I ever
knew. He was passing around among the ewes
from morning to night, with quart vessel, like
an oi-can, filed with milk, catching and feeding
every needy or suspected lamb, and after giving
one mouthful, he would set them on their feet
and look at them to see if they were full enough,
if not would take another mouthful, and give
them more. For a flock, / think of $50, the
quantity ofmilk required was so small, that he
supplied it from his own two cows without
asking pay (milk being of little value there),
and had enough leftfo his family.

Butter Affected by Food of Cows.

The quality of all butter is greatly affected
by the food of the cows. No one can make
good butter, although with good cows, if their
food is poor In Summer there is nothing better
than clover pasture. At any rate, the pasture
must afford sweet grass, running water, and
trees for shade and rest Rest and quiet are
as important to a butter producing COW, as
good food. She should never be dogged, beat
en-, driven on run, nor have her quite in any
way disturbed If she has vicious propensities,
she cannot be cured by viciousness. A cow
should be selected for her quiet disposition, as
much as any other quality, for butter making
cow-for milk alone, this is not so important
In Winter, clover hay cured in the most per-
feet manner, is better for butter than any other
hay. To this add slops once or twice every day,
composed OF bran, shorts cut potatoes, corn
meal partially cooked, and salt and an occasion
al addition Of handful of bone-meal, lime,
ashes, or charcoal dust, will be found advantage
Gus. Carrots are always good for butter COW.
Nothing should ever be given her that is not
sweet enough for you to eat yourself
Then she must be kept in a clean, swcet-smel-
ling stable; warm and dry, but venti Hated The
same stable should be used in Summer for milk.
ing, after which the cows may to allowed tc
sleep out, if it is such weather that they can lie
upon the ground in comfort and if not keer
them in until after milking in the morning
Every cow should know her own stall as wei
as man knows his own bed, and they will sool
learn to be unwillingto eat or be MIXED any
where. else. Food and care of the cow, and per
feet quite and comfort for her in every respect
are the first requisites in making good butter
A stable can be kept sweet enough to lodg
in, by the daily use Of plaster, charcoal, prepar
ed muck or an occasional sprinkling of dilute'
sulpheric acid or solution of copperas.
