Sheep often go long time without
drinking. especially if in a pretty good
pasture. and the dews are heavy so that
they can fill up on wet grass in the MORN
ing; but when they want to drink. water
is as necessary to their health and comfort
as to that OF any other animals. Therefore,
keep supply of pure water in the sheep
pastures as much as in any other. and if
the sheep do not drink from it. give them
a little salt once a week. They should
have salt as often as once a week under
any circumstances.

To Keep Cellars from Freezing.

Mr.. W. H. Hills, Plaistow, N. H., who
has cellars under six farm buildings all
crowded with fruit and vegetables, but
not all frost proof, when the thermometer
outside indicates 10 deg to 20 deg. below
zero, successfully adopted last winter a
plan which he reported to The Mirror
and Farmer:
Noticing the radiation of heat from a
common kerosene lamp, it occurred to me
that one or more placed upon a cellar
bottom might serve to raise and maintain
the temperature above the freezing point.
Repeated trials have proved perfectly
successful. One cellar in which the tenn
perature has often fallen to 81 deg. has
been kept from freezing by the use of one
or sometimes two lamps for few hours
at time on the coolest days, the tenn
perature having been raised to IS deg in
short time with little trouble or expense.
There has been no danger from fire, as it
has not been found necessary to keep the
lamps burning dnring the night. In this
way, by the use of not more than one
gallon of oil, have been able to preserve
fruit and vegetables in a cellar that in
years past has been useless as a store
room except in mild weather. AS fruit
keeps with me in dry, cool cellar, the
above method has proved very convenient
for maintaining just the temperature de
sired. "-Er,

began my education in this line by
carving butter in hot weather, and grad
ually led up to the quail on toast. In
carving the quail. first mortgage your home
and get the quail. The quail Should be
cooked before carving, but not until the
chronometer balance and other organ have
been removed. Place your quail on the
toast in sitting position, then, passing the
dissecting knife down between the shoul-
der blades, bisect the polonaise Another
method is to take the quail by the hind
