A MIRACLE OF HoNEsrY.-Ata partv

IN good condition-not too fat, nor too poor.
IT too tat the lambs will not be so large. and
If too poor the lambs will not be- so healthy
or as large as they should be-. Tu,nius and
other roots should not be feed too close up
to iam6lns time, as they tend to produce
abortion. Good, sweet hay, with about a
punt OF grain a day, is the best food; before
LANDING the grain may be changed for some
green 1000, ii possible. such as young wheat
or rye. as to induce the flow of milk. and |
keep the bowels open.
After the eve has lnmbed, the food should
be gradually increased and enriched. as the
object then should be to increase the flow of
rich milk as much as possible, particularly if
there are twins or triplets, in order to hasten
the growth aud enlarge tho sizs of the
lambs. In addition to pasture, roots. bran.
oats, corn or meal, oil cake, should be. fed.
Ii the disowns her lamb, she should be
confined IN a hurdle, SO that the laub NAV
suck and the ewe cannot kick.
