Feeding Ewes in Winter.

In growing market lambs, the feeder
should remember that the lamb must be
sustained on the food eaten by its dam, and
she must eat enough for two. This consid-
Grafton shows that her food must be liberal
and Of good quality. The lamb should in
crease in weight at least one-half pound per
day If growing for market, and this alone re-
QuiTes fair ration to produce; and, there
fore, feeders must deal with ewes sucking
lambs with a liberal hand. The eve
must produce a profitable fleece beside grow
ing her lamb and keeping up Ter own flesh.
We have produced most satisfactory results
in feeding sucking ewes upon the following
combined ration. Ten bushels of oats, nine
bushels of corn, with one of faxseed. all
ground together into fine meal, and then
mixed, at the time OF feeding with one-half
wheat middlings. Each eve had of this one
and a-half pounds per day, with about the
same weight of fne-cut hay. This was
ali eaten clean. But the hay is not neces.
sary, equal gain can be made on straw
but in that case the eve should have two
pounds OF such ground ration on straw,
and If the straw is cut short, all the better.
A good shelter is supposed in this case, else
such growth on lambs as we have mentioned
can not be made on such a ration, nor per-
haps on any ration, in cold weather. This
small amount of fiaxseed has remarkable
effect in modifying the heating quality OF
corn. 1t keeps the bowels in a healthy, ac-
tive condition, and prevents all danger OF
garget in the eve.

of 1861 he attacked the conduct of South Car
DINA bitterly. After the war had actually
begun he had in his brigade South Carolina
regiment. 1t was observed that old Jubal
vas always sure 10 put that regiment in the
most ticklish place when the brigade was
under fire. During one of the battles around
Richmond Early's brigade was ordered TO the
'front.' and, as usual, Early made the South
Carolina fellows head the column, sQueaking
out at the top of his voice as he rode up to
thtm: "Yes, I'll send you to the front, and
III keep you there, too. You got us into
this fix, and. d-n you,- you've got to get US

During the war he went to Church only
once. and his experience then was not such
as to encourage him to go again. 1t was in
the winter of 1864, when the Southern
States were agitating the expediency of a
CONSUMPTION. General Early was one OF the
most ardent advocates of it. He talked con-
seription in season and out of season, and
wanted TO conscript everything. One Sun
day morning to the amazement of his staff,
he proposed that they should ride over to a
neighboring Church and hear the sermon.
The officers were nearly paralyzed at the
proposition, but of course, consented
promptly The country congregation was
astonished at seeing General Early and his
entire staff march solemnly into Church aud

The clergyman took for his subject the testi-

HOg-KilIIng Time.

Christmas is about the period when the
hogs on the farm slaughtered. Hog-kill-
ing on the farm is a different matter from
the methods practiced in the packing houses.
The hog for the farm is one that receives all
attention that humanity can bestow. moth
ing being left undone for bis comfort even
ignorance of his intended fate contributing
to his happiness He is the pet of all, and
the more he revels in Opulenee and luxury,
the higher be is priced, until, finally, at the
proper moment, he is dispatched without a
sign OF mercy on the part of his admirers.
1t is to the period of hog killing that the
farmer looks for fresh supply of meat. The
sausage machine is brought out to again be
operated, and s0uSe, scrapple and picked
feet are to be luxuries again for short
time. Boiling lard, and packing away the
carcass in the shape OF pork, besides hanging
the hams and shoulders for the smoke-house,
is again in order. Every one will be busy,
tons, will be considered dainties until thew
are gone, when recourse will be had to the
barrel for the picked article, which is ex-
pected to do its part until the animal killing
again takes place.
The trouble with many farmers is that
they do not raise the right kind of pork.
They have not realized the fact that the hog,
like other animals, has been bred to suit the
purposes of all. The majority Of carcasses
are too large and coarse, and devoid of quail
ity. 1t is the object of most farmers TO grow
large hogs as matter of economy, but econ
omy does not include bulk alone Poor meat
is not desirable nor is lard, exclusively
Large carcasses are crowded with fat, the
usual boast being that it is of q
certain depth of thickness, but while
such meat may be- suitable for the
packing houses, the point to be kept in view
is to impress on farmers that the meat fol
the family should consist of that which is
interpreted with fat and lean. While the
sides are always heavy with fat, the hams
and shoulders should be full. II is not nee
essary to keep the hogs small in size in order
to do this, but to breed for it. Fortunately
we can do so. We have the Berkshire, will
