and other circumstances. The straw and
grain chaff are generally fed fresh from the
thrashing floor half dozen times a day,
and the sheep are not required to eat it at
all close. After the first of March a full
supply Of bright clover hay is given and
the grain feed taken off The sheep, as
have had repeated occasion to observe,
wintered well, and the breeding ewes raise
good lambs.
| do not believe taht breeding ewes or
lambs could properly be fed enough straw
and turnips-particular if the straw was
dry and ripe-to obtain the equivalent Of a
full supply of hay. If turnips are fed in
excess they render the evacuation too thin
and active for severely cold weather. But
a pound head giving to a straw-fed sheep,
with little diminution of the corn other
wise requisite, would, | think, constitute a
better and a cheaper feed than either corn
and straw.
The comparative nutrimcnt of the diff
erent kinds of straw has been given in the
table of nutrltive equivalents. Oat and bar
ley straw cut quite green and cured bright
are highly rcllshed by sheep. | had rather
have them particularly if thrashcd with

main in the ends Of the heads than hav in
the situation in which it is frequently cured
for use. Wheat straw ranks next among
the common varieties Of straw Sheep do
not relish it, and will not eat it very well if
they get any hay. But when confined to it
and grain they learn to eat it and thrive on
it. They must not, however, be compelled
to eat it as close as oat and barley straw.
Ripe rye straw, unless cut fine and mixed
with meal, is a dry, harsh, Improbable and
wholly unacceptable food for sheep All
straws are eaten much better by them when
fresh thrashed and fed frequently in small
quantities.
Cornstalks are contained in neither of the
preceding tables of nutrition. When cut
and cured bright, before frost, no feed is
better relishcd by sheep than the leaves
and some finer portions OF the stalks and
they thrive admirably on them.
Pea-haulm, if cut and cured green, is
highly valuable and is highly relshed by
sheep but when not harvested until dried
up and dead, according to the more com
mon mode, it is utterly worthless for them
In seasons of great scarcity Of hay and
straw, sheep have been repeatedly and sue
cessfully wintered by feeding them almost
exclusively on grain. Such hay-famine"
occurred in the best sheep region of Yer
mont in the winter Of 1S60-6l, occasioned
by severe drought the preceding summer
FlOck-masters who were determined to keep
well at all hazards, fed their sheep "a pound

MIXED FEED FOR SHEEP.

In making up mixed food for sheep, com
posed Of the different products which are
found most available and economical care
should be taken to keep the proportion of
nutrimcnt to bulk such that a proper supply
of the former can be taken into the stom-
ach without expressing the organ. 1t has
been seen that three and one-third per cent.
OF the live weight per diem in hay about
meets the demands of the animal economy:
and it probably also about fills the stomach
to comfortable state of lulness. If. then.
sheep weighing ninety pounds received
hall its nntriment i'll hay and half in the
better kinds of straw (which contain half
as much nntrimcnt as hay, il would he re-
qnrcd to consume one and onc-haif pounds
of hay and three pounds Of straw daily
an aggregate OF four and onc-half pounds,
which, | think, could not be daily taken in
to and digested in the stomach of sheep
OF that size. Therefore, to put sheep on
half straw feed, it is necessary that some
other portion Of their feed be more conccn-
trated, or more nutritious in proportion to
bulk than hay-as, for example. grain or
roots-or else they will not get their pro-
per supply Of nutriment.
My own course when feeding straw has
been to give a feed of hay at morning and
evening (intcnded to average about 4
pound per head each time). all the straw
the sheep will cat, and about pound ofcut
turnipS each at noon--thc latter being =
little increased if the hay and straw are not
of prime quality But | do not often oivc
over two bushels, or one hundred and TWEEN
ty pounds of turnips, to hundred. HAY
here does not average eight dollars a ton
and though | regard feeding turnips as eco
nomical, my major object in growing and
feeding them is to promote the health and
thrift Of my breeding ewes, and the growth
of my lambs
Some excellent sheep farmers, on grain
and clover-sced farms lying a few miles
north OF me-wherc contiguous city mar
ket raise the average price of hay about
fifty per cent, higher than here-givc their
store sheep no hay until March, feeding
them in lieu Of it, bright good straw in
abundance, clover chat, and daily feed of
Indian corn, ranging from one and a half to
two gills per head, according to their size

HUSKS VERSUS FEATHERS.

\ visitor is a little curious to know what
those women and girls in short frocks and
pants are going to do, who are this moment
seen crossing the lawn in single, double
and treble file, in quite unmilitary order,
towards the New Barn, with clean white
pillOw-cascs in hand Well, friend ! will
tell yoU all about it : for We are disposed to
cnIightcn you all we can, respecting the
mysteries Of Community Iife-but which
are no mysteries to right reason and good
common sense. Those women, then, are
bound for the barn to husk corn-not for
the coru's sake, nor the farmers sake, but
for the sake Of obtaining the clean inside
husks on the ears Of corn to put in beds
that is all
Reader, did you ever sleep on husl bed?
No. Then let me say to you confidentially,
that a husk bed is, according to my expert
emce and Judgment for many years, Just the
incest and clcancst thing in the world to
sleep upon. For my own use, | put the
husks into two ticks, the upper one not
quite as full as the lower one, making it
much easier to adjust or even up when the
bed is made. The under tick can be filled
quite full, making it elastic, requiring no
daily adjustment, but will remain for months
as even as a hair mattress. Once, and
sometimes twice year, have taken them
out and cmptied from the ticks upon clean
graSspIot, where they are rakcd open and
stirred up. shaking the fine dust from them
that naturally accumulatcs from the friction
they undergo IN daily use. \ sprinkling of
water upon them while thus spread out will
cause them to curl making them almost as
light as feathers. They should be shaken
up several times day, that the action of
the sun and air may thoroughly penetrate
them. If allowed to remain out of doors
over night, a heavy dew answers all the
purposes Of watering them. When thorough
ly dried and aired, return them to the ticks
which you have probably washcd-and
you have a bed as good as new once in six
months or year, as sweet as new-mOwn
grass, as comfortable as any feather bed
and decidedly more agreeable to those who
appreciate good air in a sleeping room. In
making up the bed, a thick comfortable. or
something equivalent should be placed
over the bed before the sheets are put on
for the benefit Of those whose skin is tender
from i'll health or other causes. The husks
should be entirely free from hard substan-
ces HuSk beds, thus managed, will last
for years by occasionally adding a few
pounds to keep the quantity good
have used nearly all kinds of materials
that have been proposed as substitutes for
feathers, and must render my verdict in fa-
vOr OF husks. The cost of good clean husks
Is about one-eighth of the cost of feathers
and as To sweetness and healthfnlness there
is no comparison. The animal odor attached
TO feathers is very offensive indeed to many.
The raising Of geese, too, is very trouble
some business, to say nothing of the cx-
pcnsc and mcIcanly habits of the kissing,

The IMPORTANCE OF GRAVEL Stones FOR
Fowls reader, did you ever dissect the
Gizzard Of hen, turkey, gpose, or duck !?
The gizzard and gravel stones in it, serve
the purpose of teeth, in reducing the food
to small PARTICLES, in order to facilitate di-
gestion. The feed is swallowed in chunks
or the grain is received into the crop I'M
broken. Here all such substances are soft
encd, and passed, little at tim through
the gizzard, which is surrounded by strong
muscles, and when food is passed through
1t, 1t dIlatcs and contracts similar to the
motion Of bellows, and the food, kernels
OF grain, coming i'll contact with the gravel
stones, Is separated and torn to pieces
After the process is completed, the food is
digcsted. These little mill-stones, as it
were, do not remain long in the giZZard
they are carried out with the food. and a
new set is brought along, from the crop. to
be thus ground. Now, if fowls are confined
as they often are, where they cannot have
access to all the sharp gravel they need
their digestion must be imperfect and they
cannot do well, especially if fed on whole
grain. Fowels need sharp gravel stones
within their reach to swallow every day
and if they do not have range, gravel
should be kept by them, in their enclosures
