Shelterlng STOCK in Winter.

We provide ourselves with comfortable
clothing in winter TO ward Off the effects
of cold. We cat fat meats for the same
reason. The more northern and colder
the climate the more of fatty substances
are consumed. The EsquimauN drink
train oil. These substances contain much
carbon, and carbon produces heat. Farm
stock in the winter crave oily grains as
corn, for the reason that they assist i'm

poor economy, I'm view of these facts, asks
contemporary, to let your cattle, colts,
and sheep winter at the lee side of some
bleak hill, on in the fence corners, when y
little time and money expended ut odd
times would provide them with comiurta-
bic stables, or ut least warm sheds2 The
money paid for this will pay for itself each
season, To say nothing Of the satisfaction
OF knowing that you have done all in your
power To make your farm stock as COM

It takes n certain amount OF waste TO
supply the animal economy, and the waste
is in proportion TO the length of life. 1t
costs just twice o. much to pToiong this
waste two years rs it does one, and more
goes 10 waste in cold weather than in

warm shelter and plenty of food. Animals
so provided will be sleek and healthy,
while the others will be gauut and shiver-
