asserts that 81 Iasts longer than the

and has NO other Injurious influence

Some flock masters have adopted the
erroneous and injurious practice Of not
weaving, or rather depending upon the
mother to wean the lamb. This prac-
tice will not hurt the lamb, but will
keep the mother poor, and she will be
likely to fail to have lamb the COM
ing season, or II she does she will be 90
weak that great risk will be run In
wintering her. The better plan Is to
wean tho lamb at about three months
Of age, and II. any are small then give
them extra attention in the fall and
early winter, and little risk will berun
In wintering them. We have always
found 1t best to wean our lambs on the
range they have been In the habit OF
grazing over with their mothers. They
will be more contented, and by put
ting In with them few dry ewes, they
will soon learn to herd and can be
managed with case. But be sure TO
give them the advantage OF coed
fresh feed, so soon as they have for
gotten their mother; don't let them
lose their lambs flesh, and there will
be no difficulty In wintering them.
WHAT THE BIRDS ACCOMPLISH
The swallow. swift and nighthawk,
are the guardians OF the atmosphere.
They check the increase OF the insects
that would otherwise overload 1t.
Woodpeckers, creepers, and chickadees
are guardians OF the trunks OF trees,
warblers, and ny.catchers protect the
foliage, black birds, crows, thrushes,
so;I srins and ,rooScochs nrotact tho
soil under the surface. Each tribe has
its respective duties In the economy OF
nature, and 1t Is an undoubted fact
that II the birds were all swept of the
face Of the earth man could not live
upon 1t; vegetation would wither and
die; insects would become 30 numer-
Gus that no living. thing could with
stand their attacks. The wholesale
destruction occasioned by gresshop-
pers,, which have lately devastated the
West, Is undoubtedly caused by the
thinning out OF the birds, such as
prairie hens, &C., which iced
upon them. The great and inestima-
bic service done TO the farmer, gardner,
and florist by the birds Is only becom-
Ing known by sad experiences, spare
the birds and save your fruit; the little
corn and fruit taken by them 10 more
than compensated by the quantity OF
noxious insects they destroy. The
long-persecuted crow has been found
by actual experience TO DO more good
by the vast quantities OF grubs and In
scots he devours, than IN the few grains
OF corn he pulls up: He Is one OF the
farmers best friends.
