usual is rtplete with full descriptions
of fashions for this especial season,
which the ladies are eagerly looking
forward to, which would please the
most fastidiaus, and are so well adapt
ed TO the fabrics of the time. The de-
signs are not over elaborate, but their
fine proportions furnish an air of ele-
gance which less gracefully shaped gar
ments fail TO suggest. The Delineator

Early Lambs.

When all other prices fail in the sheep
business, the farmer at least has the raising
of winter lambs to fall back ON. They bring
good prices year in and year out The city
palate has liking for green peas and spring
lamb. The aged mutton which goes by that
name in town would cause the rural st to
make face of disgust. 1t smells to heaven,
and a bite into 1t suggests india rubber
The earlier lambs can be brought into
market, the better pay they will bring.
Prices drop rapidly after the first few weeks.
The period OF CESSATION with the sheep is
about twenty-five weeks. If the lambs can
he got TO market in February and March they
will bring top prices. 1t is difficult to gel
ewes with lamb in hot weather. and the
farmer who can succeed in doing this is for
tunate, or rather skillful, for it is more skill
than luck If they are kept ON short feed
and dry feed like hay for week pre-
vlous to being put with the males
1t Is said success in this direction
will be much more certain 1t is also sug
gested that twice as many ewes as are
wanted for producing winter lambs should
be kept, since 80 per cent. of them arr apt
to fail to get with lamb so early in tbs sea-
son. Those not Leeded can gradually be
weeded out AID sold for mutton as soon as
it is ascertained which they are. Select
rams with small heads. Feed the ewes
after that plentifully, putting them care
fully on the fresh feed from the dry. Large
fat lambs can only be produced from we'll
nurtured mothers. In winter the ewes will
easily bear feeding four times a day, be
sides the straw. clover-hay and fodder they
consume. Feed sEou d lie varied, roots al

lambs of good breed will weigh sixty pounds

In England beyond doubt the coming
wool AMI mutton producer Is the Shrop-
shire. 1t is descended and has bsen
improved from a very ancient horned
breed of black faced and b.ack-legged
sheep Animals similar are found in
the Highlands of Scotland a. this time,
where the b'st mutton in the world Is
grown. The ShropshiIes are little known
in America. Attention of farmers and
breeders ought to be brought to Them. They
ara so popular in Great Britain that at the
last Royal Agricultural show there were
$40 Shropshire5 to 420 or all other breeds
put together. Over there this breed is
called tho ''rent-pa} ing sheep" A late
description says of it:
They may well be called models OF
beauty. They have a small, well developed
head with bright faces and kindly eyes a
muscular neck, well set ON pair of very
fine shoulders, remarkable hams, supported
ON fine, trim legs, and in turn with the
shoulders. supporting square, deep, finely
proportional body, the whole well covered
with fleece of SEs staple, long, and il
every way d-sirsDle wool.
The Shropshire has all the good quail
ties Vi the South Down, with these in add
ton: 1t has considerably more size and
sarries larger proport on of lean meal
stith much less of fat; it has smaller heal
and legs, more wool ON its belly, and WOO
of greater length and of better quality.
Another good point over. the South Down
is its strong constitut on and ability tc
be kept and fell in larger fiocxs. 1t also
has greater fecunilty and will breed
earlier in the spring, and lastly, it will
thrive owe n much greater extent OF
country and under more adverse circuua-
stances"
