that his children should dine at side.

which age they were permitted to eat
with the older members Of the family.
On one occasion, visitor, who was aware
Of the custom, observed one Of the boys,

he was not sixteen years old. EYES"

was very fond Of, and instead of being
helped, I undertook to help myself, and
reaching too far, met with an accident,
and 90 he set Ine back two years."

SOUTHDOWN SHEEP.

All things considered, no other
breed of sheep combine so many good
qualities as the Southdowns. Their
whole appearance is prcposscssing.
They belong to what are termed mid
die woods that is, have wool neither
so fine nor SO short as the Mcrinos, nor
so long nor SO coarse as the Cotswuld
or Leiccsters. They are Of beautiful
form and have a remarkable elegance
of carriage. The color Of the face,
legs and feet is peculiar dark brown,
which adds to their general beauty.
They are broad in the chest and back,
round i'll the barrel, compactly and
strongly built, good quarters and
strong legs are quiet and more har-
dy than the Leicesters. They fatten
easily, yet their fat and lean are well
mixed, and the proportion of one to
the other in the same animal such as
is desired. Colman, in Practical Ag-
riculturc, thus remarks upon the
Southdowns Their wool is inferior
in tincncss to that Of the Saxony or
Mcrino, but for quality and amount of
wool, for size and weight, for quality

HOUSING CATTLE.

Farmers, do, please, for your own
best interests, shelter your cattle BE-
fore winter sets in. Commence early
to put them in the stalls for the night
and feed them there, in preference 10
feeding i'll the yard or around some
stack in distant field. Cattle will
run over hay on the ground and waste
much Of it. Stacking at best is but
a POOR method, for it will not take
much cyphcring to show that the
waste in saving and feeding out of
doors will soon pay for comfortable
barns and feeding stalls. You will
find it bad economy to let them range,
through meadow, field, and orchard
and wood, until compelled to come
home by the thickfalling snow. lou
may, it is true, have your NOW and
stacks untouchcd-but the cold, frost
bitten grass has afforded SO little
nourshmcnt that your stock has al
ready lost flesh.
