good way to accomplish this is To throw lit

plants, usually considered as quite tender

1t is a good deal easier TO have flesh eggs for
winter use than it is TO do Without them But
don't expect your hens to lay when you COM
pei them to roost In the tree-,ops, on the fence

fowls can get TO maintain animal heat enough
to keep from freezing 10 death. Go to work
and fl up your Ia, n-house SO th.t 1t will be
comfortable; don't imagine that any old
rick.ty building, ubeH the wind and rain
can get through almost anywhere, will do for
your fowls, that is, If you expect them TO pay
for the cost Of keeping. Don.t YOU know tina:
your fowls vii! consume one fourth less food

IN horses, often seen In front of the molar

Interfere with the organs of vision. Tney |
are simply supernunersry teeth, which are
harmless unless they deviate from
he straight direction, leaning inwsrds or
and thereby interfere with mssti
,ation. When this CO ,ditton, which Is very
s-ely met with, should exist. they may be
removed with a pair of small pliers; other
wise they should b. left alone. 10 kno.S |
hem out with a hammer and chisel, or sim
liar means, is biIbsrouS practice, which |
'ften results in breaking OF the visible por-
ion Of the teeth, and leaving the root in the
'ums, where often long continued AMI con-
iderable Irritation is produc-d.

For the young man possessing the required |

he possession of a wife, with little or N,
money, snd with but a moderate experience |
n hand Ing sheep, there Is probably no plan |
'etter than that followed By many who hav-
nsde the business a most profitable one
They worked for some sheep farmer Of skiIi |
md experience. and invested what money |
hey could get in sheep. These were allowed
o run with the focks Of the employer, sui'a- |
lie arrangements having been m-de with |
he latter for the privilege. Under this plan |
he sheep make no draft upon the purse or
he time of their owner after the first outlay |
N their purchase They cared for Nth
hose Of the employer. There Is little for the
wner to do but Live them the same care as ,
II gives to those Of his EN- pIoyer. and for this
Ie Is paid by the latter, There Is Now in the
rest no uncomfortable Bumter of young
men following this Plan. W ich is beneficial
