SHEEP AND LAM BIS.
HOW to Fatten TLsm-Thc Best
FOOD, Etc.

Gut hay and ground grain are not ad-
yantageous in fattening sheep, because
they diminish the work of mastication
and ruminaton, as compared with uncut
and unground food, and therefore are not
so well digested in passing through the
animal. The objects of Illumination, or
the chewing of the cud, appear to be the
thorough Incorporation of saliva with the
food and the conveying of TINT quantity
of air to the stomach that is necessary to
finnish the oxygen required in digestion,
as well as the reduction of the food to q
fine consistency. Hence sheep do better
when fed upon whole hay or grain. or
when the Litter is very coarsely ground.
The inquiry as to the best foods for rap
idly fatteniag sheep must be answered
accordingto the season and circumstances.
In the summer and autumn, with good
rich pasturage, pint OF sound corn per
day, with regular supplies of water aud
salt, would show good r2sults, IL tho
winter considerable variety Of food
will be necessary, With clean mixed hay.
good proportion of which should 30
clover, there should be given ten or fifteen
pounds of roots daily, pint OF corn, and,
where convenient, ration of barley.
After u couple of weeks a little oil cake
should be added, and the quantity in
creased, gradually. until the limit of the
animals feeding capacity is reached, I'ais
should be watched very carefully, Us pthcv-
wise u serious setback may res2lt from
oYarfeeding. BY this variety of fcol, the
various albuminoids, heterogeneous substan,
ces, and organic and inorganic constit.
uents required, are furnished, while the
appetite is stimulated TO appropriate all
the system can use. Regularity in feeding
is important. Quietude and warmth
greatly contribute to the tntteninc
process,
Lambs fatten best when they have a
free supply OF their mothers milk, supple
mented with all the cracked corn they
will eat, given in troughs in pen TO
which they can lave access. They should
also have fine clover hay to nibhle at
and fresh grass as soon as it is ready.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1885-01-07
The Age of Woman,

Age in woman is a ticklish sub
ject says the Indianapolis Journal,
and have been talking with an ex-
pert about it--that is to say, a ply
sician of heavy and long practice. l
reminded him that we can judge of a
horses years by its mouth, and why
couldn't some rules be laid down, in a
widely general way, as data to 60
on in estimating the age of a human
being?
"Do horses wear false teethp" the
man of medicine answered. " DO they
dye their gray hairs, or putty up the
wrinkles in their faces? Seriously,
there is nobody so expert as to learn
the age of woman with anywhere
near eXactitude by physical observa-
ton. The uncertainty isn't altogether
due to deceptive practices, either, but
to the widely varying effect of time
in individuals. AS a rule brunettes
look older than blondes of a cores
ponding age As to plumpness and
the lack of it, fat may be said to in
crease the apparent age of girl un-
der Is, and to lessen it in a woman
over that; and the reason is that slen-
derness is girlish as long as it does
not produce wrinkles, while rotundity
keeps the skin taut and smooth. But
these are mere generalities. In no
gathering of women, strangers to you,
could you guess the ages within five
years of the average, and in half the
