Fall Treatment of Breeding Ewes.

If the ewes have been at all reduced by
sucking their lambs through the summer i'm
mediately after their milk has dried up, eff
forts should be made to regain thrifty con-
dition by the time the coupling season COM
mences. A sufficient reason for this is, they
can be wintered easier and cheaper if put into
high condition before the extremely cold and
stormy weather begins. But additional rea-
sons are to be found in the fact that they will
take the ram more readily, and be more like
ly to get with lamb-no uncomfortable item
if choice rams are used, and it is desirable to
get as much service from single animal as
possible. They will shear heavier feeces
the following season, with better length
and strength, than if stinted from grass
to corn"
No matter how good the pasturage, we
have found it profitable to feed from one half
to one bushel of corn daily to each hundred
breeding ewes, for ten days before, and dur
ing the coupling season. This was usually
thrown TO them in the ear, when they were
through grazing, or just before sunset. We
preferred this time, as the stronger animals
were not so likely to injure the weaker ones
by crowding, or themselves by overeating
Under such treatment, we have, from flock
of thousand ewes, picked out and bred as
many as four hundred the week. Following
this course, lambs will drop the following
spring as fast as any sheep.farmer, with but
ordinary facilities, can properly care for
them. " reasers" put into the flock every
morning, before turning to pasture, will, in a
short time, fud most OF the ewes that are
rutting These can be picked out by the
shepherd as fast as found, and placed in a
separate pen, to be attended TO while the large
flock is grazing. The animals that have been
bred should be marked and kept to them
selves until the entire flock has been served
This saves much labor and annoyance to both
shepherd and sheep.
We have always had the best luck" dur
ing the Landing season, with the flock that
was in the highest condition in the spring
losing the fewest ewes while yeaning, and the
fewest lambs from lack of milk or refusal OF
dam to own" them. And so it will be
found, we doubt not, with flock .masters gen.
orally. Not only are tho lambs from such
ewes worth double as much as the in.
crease from a flock dragged through the win.
ter in a half-starved condition, but they will
not require half the labor and attention to
bring them to maturity, Uniformity in the
size Of the different animals in flock can be
secured in no other way so readily as by lib
eral feeding and proper attention during the
coupling aud yeaning seasons Western

A correspondent Of the Vermont Farmer,
in giving an account of visit to the farm Of
II. A. Sumner Of Brandon, VI, says
The speciality in which Mr. Sumner excels
is evidently rearing turkeys The variety
kept are the so-called Bronze turkeys. BY
keeping for breeding stock the largest of the
flock each year, and by feeding well when
young, the gobblers attain weight of over
30 pounds each, and have dressed from 30 to
% pounds before a year old He considers
it desirable to set as many eggs as possible
about the same time, and has had a hundred
turkeys hatch in one day Those hatched I'M
der hens are in few days put with the main
flock under the care of turkeys. The food
while young is milk curd, wheat bread and
brown bread soaked in milk The brown
is baked for them When large enough to
travel WE'LL it is necessary to feed the mother
birds all they will eat, SO they have nothing
to do but look out for the welfare Of their
numerous families.
Three turkeys will take charge Of hundred,
and agree well among themselves, aud be
equally Jealous in watchiul care. A case was
mentioned whore in returning to the barn
where the grass was wet, some chicks seem
ed unable to proceed, and one turkey remain
ed with the straggers, lowered around them
until dry, and brought them safely in, while
the main flock was cared for by the other old
birds and safely brought to roost. If any
chick gets separated from the flock and sets
up his alarm cry, one of the turkeys goes af-
ter him and the others remain. The place
was pointed out where turkey went one
morning nearly three-fourths of mile af-
ter q chick that had roasted in tree to which
it had been frightened by dog the evening
before
If any man has gobbler weighing 40

Watering Horses.

On watering teams, Mr., Joseph Harris, an
agricultural writer, advocates frequent water
ing Of work horses, as the remover Of the Wig.
or OF the animals. We disagagre with him
We think both man and beast are generally
watered too much. Men and horses at hard
work in warm weather perspire just in pro.
portion to the quantity Of fluids taken into
the stomach. Frequently drinking 10 no.
weather, according to our experience, emas.
culates instead Of refreshes. Some years ago.
being at Cape Island, in driving out in one Of
the stand-coaches of the place, on very hot
day, we asked the driver how il was that bis
horse perspired so little, while the horses Of
private carriages, going at 4 slower speed.
were covered with foam. He replied that he
watered his horses three times day only,
though be sponged their mouths frequently
while the private drivers watered their horses
whenever they stopped, He said aud il
seemed to us as very sensible, that the fire..
quent watering Of horses effected no good
purpose. while il made them very uncomiort.
able and lethargic. Horses, no matter what
their work was, did not need watering oftener
than three times day. Our own expcrien-
COS with horses all our LIE 10 to the same ef.
