SHEEP IN WINTER.
The Causes of the Great Winter and Spring
Losses.


Why Is 1t that so many lose sheep In
tho winter? Is It because sheep can
not stand our hard winters3 That
hardly seems probable, for they arc
naturally adapted to cold climate.
Many farmers who never lose an ami
NAL Of any other species are constantly
losing sheep. 1t does not seem to be
lack Of feed to the flock in the ag-
gregate. for they are given precisely
the same kind of hay that is fed TO the
cows and other stock. What, then, can
be the cause? We think thcrc are at
least two causes for this excessive NOR.
tally among sheep: Bad quarters and
the crowding Of too great numbers in
pen and yards. The notion that sheep
can be housed In any place that they
can crawl into seems TO obtain very
generally. Basement and barn cellars
that arc not high enough for any other
use are accordingly devoted to sheep
pens. Vast numbers are often hud.
died into such low, damp places, where
they have to carry their heads low in
order to get around. These places are
usually quite warm, and for this reason,
probably, the owners think them just
adapted to the purpose. And right
here q great mistake Is made. Sheep
need dry. roomy quarters just as much
~ horses or any other animal does.
Sheep can stand cold quarters, II they
arc only dry and airy. Nor should
too many sheep be huddled into
small pen. They can not possibly
thrive In this way. The weaker must
succumb, and even the strongest are
injured by this condition Of things. 1t
IL better to separate them. even II the
pen be large and roomy.
Ewes with lamb should never be
crowded In with a miscellaneous lot of
sheep In this way. They can not get
their share Of the general rations with
out being injured by tanning and
crowding. while they ought to have an
extra chance by reason of their sndi.
ton, the strain upon their systems Of
bringing forth young necessitating quiet
and comfort. Too little attention Is
paid to this point by those who keep
sheep as sort Of side issue. In many,
very many, cases the ewes arc never
separated from the herd, but drop their
lamb in the common pen and take their
chances with the rest. No wonder
that half or two-thirds of the lambs are
lost every winter and spring, or that
the farmer has lots OF pclts to pull! A
flock Of sheep will rapidly deteriorate
under this style Of treatment, no mat
ter what their blood and breeding at
the start.
A long sheep-pen facing tho south
and divided into at least two partsfs
an excellent Arrangement. The yards
into which they open should also be
separated. Along rack may form the
division Of this yard, which may be &C.

be turned into q yard with cattle and
other stock. Their timid nature makes
them prey to oil other animals. They
arc hooked about by tho cattle and
plAyfully chased and stamped upon by
hofses and colts. Give thcm their own

SENATE.

There was not much to enliven the sena-
torial proceedings yesterday. In fact the
only ripple was the debate relative to loca-
ing a third insane asylum, and the introduce
ton of Senator O'Brien's temperance bill.
Senator O'Brien IS always doing something
of interest. He has found in mingling with
the senators a woful lack of knowledge rela-
tive TO beverages. He has seen
distinguished senators and other
learned persons with reddish fluids
in their glasses which they styled Appolin-
arts water, while German savants coming
from where Appollinaris grows indigenous to
the soil have assured US that It is limpid
whit., with now and then a tinge of greenish
yellow. All of this suggested a reform mea-
sure to the Senator, and he accordingly intro
duced a bill yesterday which renders it IN
necessary to prove the name of the intoxi-
eating LIQUOR sold in order to convict. This
will be great mental relief to witnesses,
who need not be more specific than to swear
that they have had ''suthiu' or mother"
The senate voted in favor OF third hos
pital for the insane and decided to post
pone adopting any plans until the commit
tee of visitation return from the existing
aeylums.
