FALL CARE OF STOCK.

There is no question and no manner of
doubt about the fact that young animals OF
every variety must be kept in one uniform,
thriving condition, If money is-to be made
by raising them. They must be watched,
so that whenever there is the slightest
check to growth and the comely appear
ance of the flock or heard they can be
moved to some better pasture. or have
some immediate stimulation, by giving
food OF more Strengthening quality.
This is season oil the year requiring
more than ordinary care, and early every
cold morning something should be given
TO any colts, calves or lambs which have
not extra grass or food OF some kind.
1t Is not necessary to begin stabling at
night because Of moderate cold, for ii the
stomachs OF animals are full OF good food,
the cool air is not disagreeable, and nature
provides longer hair 10 assist in keeping
them warm. Some people will be foolish
| ly particular about shelter, but there is q
medium, and il they will feed well out in
the fields while the ground is dry, all kinds
of young stock will be better for the
gradual way in which they become accus-
toned to winter weather. Then, when
severe storms come on, and they are put
into winter quarters, they will escape the
ordeal of the sudden change to dry food,
because they have been brought regularly
to 1t by the morning feed (and perhaps
evening feed too) after grass becomes
short. Grass ought not to be grszed SO bare
MS to weaken the roots, and to prevent it
when any one is heavily stocked, or the
grass goes off through drought, feed
should be given twice per day.
1t is this attention to young stock, sheep,
ETC., in England, which makes the tenant
farmers so successful and causes the extra
mutton and wool and it is the false econ
omy in the United States of husband
ing" as it is called, the best food, and
keeping the cattle and sheep short, in con-
sequence of which they SO lose flesh, that
farmers are afraid OF the winter. and they
sink money instead of gaining. When
young animals are brought in, they should
not be kept closely shut up. There should
be good ventilation and in the daytime,
especially from 10 Il III. (or earlier when
mild till or p. M, they should be out
OF their night quarters. and lie in an open
yard having shed that they can go under
at pleasure.
Sheep. too ought to have yards for run.
ning In when snow is deep; but they
should have some old pasture lot saved
with all the growth after July, for them
to range on every day possible. In the
Southern States, all stock is better for dali
y running on the bluegrass fields
