Discussed the question 'Ibe winter care and

rience had taught him better was in favor

1t paid commonly made a mixture Of meal.
bran and cottonseed did not deal in bloOded
stock fed his stock but little hay at q time
but foddered often thought farmers left
their stock out too long in the fall W. W.
Stove thought the winter care and manage
ment OF farm stock al important question
thought Mr. Woodland bit the point IN regard
to taking up stock early farmers ought to
take more care and not let their stock run
down in hesL IL the fall also thought 1t
good IDEA not to feed too much hay at a time .
thought 1t a good IDEA to feed little grain to
young stock farmers are not careful enough
to salt often a great many ailments of stock
are due to this cause alone water stock twice
day ought to be regular about feeding and
watering barns should be well ventilated
generally fed stock the Door hay the last fod-
derlng at night l.. N Woodland thought oat
straw sprinkled with meal did not hurt cows
il milk cut his grain early and sometimes
fed the straw to young stock d. q change
Milton Powers WAS in favor Of feeding grain
to all stock thought farmers did not do
enough for their stock during the winter
thought horses could be fed oat straw with
meal and be kept in as good condition as
when fed hay gave instances Of keeping
stock on meal alone. II. c. Bell said ID was
q nice point to know when the winter care OF
stock commenced thought If hay Was good
enough to keep stock in good condition that
it did not pay TO feed meal Milton Powers
thought It a bad plan to herd merlnos and
coarse wool sheep together. Il. c. Bell
thought coarse woods more apt 10 be ticky
Geo. W. Putnam favored feeding grain in the
winter fed his sheep corn in the pasture In
preference TO letting them run il the fields
during the fall. /. T. Mowrey was il favor
Of using the oat straw by spriukling with
meal and feeding to horses. J. N Woodland
and W. W. stowe fed their horses corn on
the ear and thought that better than meal
c. Il Higley favored meal Elmer Hillman
thought 1t the best way to feed fodder corn
during the dry weather IL the fall preferred

An item has been going the rounds Of the
papers stating that two large gray wolves
were recently killed il Essez swamp Conn.
They were probably no relation Of the hstor-
ic she wolf that Gen. Putnam followed into
her den and killed However large her fam
iy might have been at the time OF her tragic
death. il has been extinct, no doubt for half
a century These wolves could hardly have
been natives Of Connecticut or Of any adioin.
ing state II indeed they we're really wolves
but tine story reminds us Of the last appear
ance Of wolves in WindhRm county, OF which
We have any knowledge something more
than thirty years ago In the early settle
ment Of this state farmers sometimes had to
gather and house their hocks at night to pro
tcct them from the wolves Occasionally. but
We believe not frequently they came into
baruyards and made havoc with the sheep
The wolves killed a large number Of sheep in
several towns IN the western part Of this
county, as near as we can remember @ little
more than thirty years ago, though no wolves
had been known TO live In the county for
many years before These we're the last
wolves that have been known to visit this
par, Of the state They probably followed
the mountain range down from the north
and, taking up their winter quarters in the
neighborhood of Stratton mountain. sailed out
into Wardsboro Jamaica aud other adjoining
towns for plumber The savage nature Of
these animals appeared not in the least abat-
ed by their contact with civilization They
entered the yard at night. and killed sheep
within q few rods Of the farmhouse They
would bite q small hole in the neck Of 8
sheep suck it's blood and then leave it for
another victim. It was said that more than
fifty sheep were killed by wolves that winter,
within a range Of ten or twelve miles We
remember well seeing two which had been
killed the night previous one Of them had
been carried over q high yard.fence showing
the work OF powerful animal This one
had no wound except the small hole IL the
