Feeding Sheep.

MANY wool-growers have failed to
realize the maximum results from their
. sheep, by reason of inadequate alimen-
tation. Losses have resulted to owners,
and hardships have been forced upon
the flock, through the too ready and lit
eral acceptance of that portion of its
standing eulogy which suggests the idea
that sheep will live with little food and
less care. Experiments in this direc-
ton have been so frequent, and their re-
suits have been so unvarying, that it is
now safe to conclude that a man is no
more likely to get something for nothing
in sheep husbandry than in any other
avocation. More losses come through
starvation than from safety. The no.
ton that breeding animals are more
efficient when in light flesh, has kept
many a sheep from attaining its highest
possible standard. This is no logical
argument against supplying sheep with
all the food they will consume and as
simulate. Unfavorable results in this
connection, SO far as my observation ex-
tends, are traceable to some other cause.
The most common one is too close con
finement. Following this will be found
irregularity in feeding, and abrupt
changes in the diet or treatment to
which the animals have been accus-
toned. Twenty years. experience and
observation have failed to bring to my
knowledge single instance wherein a
flock, given plenty of exercise in the
open air, and otherwise reasonable
treatment, has been fed into condition
of flesh too high for successful shearing
and breeding. In the case of lambs, any
other than the most liberal policy is but
premium on mediocrity. Ample pas
turage and well-supplied feed-trough
are the only media through which can
be secured rapid and complete develop
ment of the young stock; and know of
no subsequent period in their lives when
change in such policy is Indicated

To PRESERVE BUTTER.-Take two
parts of the best common salt, one part
of good loaf sugar, and one part of salt
peter; beat them well together. TO one
pound butter thoroughly cleansed from
the milk put one ounce this compost
ton; work it well, and put down when
it becomes firm and cold. The butter
thus preserved is the better for keeping,
and should not be used under month.
The butter should be kept from the air,
and is best in pots of the best glazed
earthenware that will hold from ten
pounds to fourteen pounds each.
