inyasions, thai they have appropriated money
for he purchase ard maintenance of guuboats
Oh the Lakes and the Il yer ST Lawrence but
the appropriation has not been made, how

Parliament, on account OF the expense. Here
tofore the burden OF the defence of Canada has
fallen on Great Britain but now it appears
The mother country has tightened her purse
strings, and given her colonies in America To

ones, and she may wish she We're back in

Training Sheep.

There is sll the difference in th
world in the way men handle sheer
Some sheep are never educated to III
hand Of the flock master, and whe
he desires to handle any particulS
animal, he rushes in among buncl
Nof sheep and makes a grab, with a
little consideration as a dog would dc
in pursuit of mutton. No consider
ate sbepcrd will ever catch sheep by
the wool. and the violent manner in
which some people take sheep by
tho log, is not much bettor.
fNefy aockihastcr Who Keeps good
sheep should have them so well cdu-
Gated that they can be handled with
out their being frightened. The sheep
is very timid animal, and a fright is
almost as bad as wound. We have /
seen a variety of ways Of handling
sheep we'll, ono Of the best of which
is the method practiccd by Il. Ham
mond, Of Vermont Mr.. Hammond
has in his shospfold long, slender
lath, tapering out quito thin, and has
his sheep so we'll trained to under
stand his desires, thatwhen he goes {
into the yard with the lath in hand,
and selects an animal for cxamina-
ton. he has only TO reach out his
scepter aud pat the sheep on the fore
top, when it stands perfectly still aud q
allows him TO put his two fingers un-
der the chin, where it rests its head /
in quiet until allowed to go. If the |
sheep is disposed TO run from him, /
Mr.. II. pats away upon its face, un- a
I'll il shuts its eyes and becomes quiet. Z
BY the same gentle treatment sheep \
is laid upon its side and will not at /
tempt to rise while the sccpter is held Z,
ovet Il. In holding a sheep standing, 9
Mr.. ii. seldom does more than to II
place tho two first Gngers under its
chin, cleyatiug the nose to a level
with the eyes. If gently done, a
sheep may be safely withdrawn from
the huddle by the hind leg, but a
better way is to walk into the crowd d
and back il out by The hands under j
