The Sheen and Lambs.

Fatten and market dry ewes as soon
as possible. Some ewes which have
lost their lambs, or from which they
have been taken, will need to have the
milk partially removed from their full
udders for few days. Neglect not to
remove filthy tags. 1t is well also to
clip the wool from about the udders,

caused by filth from the ewes wool.
There is but little i'm favor of washing

disagreeable, and dangerous to the
health of both men and sheep, and
may well be abolished. Sheep ought
to be so kept, that the unwashed wool
may be clean enough for market.
Newly shorn sheep need protection
during storms. If this he looked after
properly, early shearing is not OBJ

gather on the lambs, and may be
destroyed by dipping them in tobacco

breeds, usually begin to lay early In

fed, will give a supply of eggs through

chicks to wander freely through 1t,

enough to scratch up the beds, and

II. g. vennor makes the following
forecast Of the weather during the
summer Of 1852 In his weather bulle-
tin:
l. A season that will merit the dee-
tgnatton Of cool to cold and wet, gen.
orally. Not that there will not be
terms OF summer warmth and even
intense heat for periods, hut rather
that these last will appear In the ret
respect - Of but comparative insig-
nincance, or ~ the exceptions to the
general rule.
:. The season will be marked by not
only great precipitation, but by a
muggtnees Of atmosphere, generally,
caused by the reeking condition of the
earth and the long continuance Of
clouded sky. This will result In Pc
RODS OF extreme sultriness and heavy
weather. during which the thunder
and hail-stOrMs will occur. In other
words, the summer will be the reverse
Of clear and dry.
3.There IL likelihood Of June and
August frost in Northern, Western,
and Southern sections, and q general
cool wave may occur towards mid.
summer.
4. The autumn months will con-
tinue moist. September will probably
give rains and floods in Western
Canada and In western and southern
sections Of the United States. October
will be much the same, with early
cold aud snow falls. November will
begin the winter Of 1852 3-a winter
likely to be memorable on account
Of its exceptionally heavy snow falls
and very cold weather over the whole
northern atmosphere. That "a cold
and wet summer il invariably fol-
lowed by . cold and stormy winter,
Is . truth now SO well proven and
borne out by the testimony Of past
records that we cannot lightly put 1t
aside; and II we have good and suffi-
cient grounds for predicting the
f0rmer-as we most assu:edly have at
this time-it Is but right that we
should warn the people of the latter
in good season.
s. The approaching season will
probably be the first of q couple of wet |
summers, and as 1882 il, SO is 1883
likely to he. But here we must stop
for the present,
