DARKNESS FAVORABLE To FATTENINa.
1t is fact, says The Mark Lane E1-

This is we'll known in respect to FOWLS
From experiments made with sheep, con-
illusions have been reached that iu dark
shed, well ventilated and properly warm,
they will make the most mutton from a

are not good for horses or breed ing stock
