in the spring i'll worse condition. The
loss nf animals by death in wintering
when suffering from all the seventies Of
piercing winds, drifting SHOWS, and cut
tiny slrct, is Sometinlcs greater in two or
three years than the cost of substantial
aud comfortable buildings for protection;
and the loss IF fodder consumed in any
case, would in few years pay for their
erection.
