Skeep In the Pen and Yard.

Why is it that so many lose sheep
in the winter Is it because they can
not stand our hard winters2 That
hardly seems probable, fer they are
naturally adapted to a cold climate.
Many farmers who never lose an ami
NAL of any other species, are constant
losing sheep. 1t does not seem to be
lack of feed to the flock in the aggre-
gate, for they are given precisely the
same kind of hay that is fed to the
COWS and other stock. What, then,
can be the cause2 We think there are
at least two causes for this excessive
mortality among sheep: Bad quarters
and the croWding OF too great num-
bers in pen and yards. The notion
that shee can be housed in any place
they can crawl into seems to obtain
very generally. Easements and barn
cellars that are not high enough for
any other use accordingly devoted to
sheep pens, Vast numbers are often
huddled into such low, damp places,
where they have to hold their heads
low in order 10 get around. These
places are usually quite warm, and
for this reason, probably, the owner
thinks them Just adapted to the pur-
pose, And right here q great mistake
is made. Sheep need dry, roomy
quarters Just as much as horses or
any other animal does. Sheep can
stand cold quarters il they are only
dry and airy. Nor should too many
sheep be huddled into a small pen.
They cannot possibly thrive in this
way. The weaker must succumb.
and even the strongest are injured
bv this condition OF things. 1t is bet
ter TO separate them, even If the pen
be large and roomy.
Ewes with lamb should never be
crowded in with a miscellaneous lot
of sheep in this way. They cannot
get their share of the general rations
without being injured oy jamming
and crowding, while they ought TO
have an extra chance by reason Of
their condition, the strain upon their
systems of bringing forth young neces-
stating quiet and comfort. Too little
attention is paid to this point by those
who keep sheep as a sort of side issue.
Ia MANY, very many cases the ewes
are never separated from the herd,
but drop their lambs in the common
pen and take their chances with the
rest. No wonder that half or two
thirds Of the lambs are lost every win
ter and spring, or that the farmer has
lots of pelts to pull A flock of sheep
will rapidly deteriorate under this
treatment, no matter what their blood

Care of Animals In winter.

The American Humane Association
offers the following suggestions rela-
tive to fowls, horses and cattle To per
sons having these in charge, in the
northern lstitudes, during the Winter
months
Do not compel domestic fowls to
roost in trees. Aside from danger of
being captured by owls and other
enemies, the swaying of the branches
upon which they are sitting will pre-
vent them from getting rest; while IN
the severely cold weather, thus expos
ed, feet and combs are frozen and the
bird is SO benumbed as to make 1t In
possible for il TO be Of much profit ON
the farm. Securely sheltered from
wind and storm, and allowed to sit on
broad roost, feet are thus kept warm,
refreshing rest is obtained, and the
fowl is much stronger, healthier and
more profitable to its owner,
Do not clip horses during the Win
ter months. With the same proprlety
we might cut the hair from dog or
shear a sheep at this season of the
year. The argument in behalf of the
practice is that the horse in perspira-
ton will dry more quickly if the hair
is short. If the animal is thoroughly
blanketed and kept in sheltered or
warm place, after being driven, no
danger results from perspiration,
whatever the lenght of hair; while
the horse that has been deprived of its
coat in the Winter time suffers per-
petuslly while being exposed to the
cold.
1t is cruelty inflicted upon beauti-
full carriage horses for the purpose of
style. Blessed is the ordinary work
horse, in the Winter time, for, how
ever much it may perspire, it is allow
ed to carry its full growth of hair
during the cold weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand shiVer-
iLg, while extremities often freez9, in
the snowsstorms and severe winds of
Winter, when little time would suf-
fee to construct OF boards, rails or
poles a support upon and around
which may be placed hay, straw : or
weeds, thus making shelter that
may comfortably protect them. Cattle
kept in fairly warm condition through
out the Winter will, as mixers, give
larger and better yield of milk, and
as keeves will take on flesh much
more rapidly than if left exposed to
incement weather.
Aside from question Of humanity,
the nore attention and care that is
bestowed upon animals, with view
to their comfort, the more will they
be of service and source of profit to
their owners.

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Bells Mullins. Two cups flour,
half cup sugar, two teaspoonfulls
baking powder slfted in the -four, one
beaten egg, two cups milk, two tea
spoonfuls melted butter, one even tea
spoonful salt. Beat well, and bake in
gem pans or small pans. This makes
eighteen mullins.
Bells Corn Cake. Two cups Indian
meal, two of -four, one egg, one high
heaped teaspoonful baking powder,
two tablespoonfuls sugar, one even
teaspoonful of salt. Mix ali these to-
Vether and beat hard, putting ia the
butter after the rest is well beaten,
having FIRST added milk enough TO
make thin batter; put into pie dish
es and bake well.
Sponge Pudding-Butter mold
thickly and fill it full with small spoage
cakes, soaked through with wine; fill
up the mold with rich cold cIstard ;
then tie a Toured cloth over 1T quite
close, and boil an hour; turn out the
pudding carefully and pour some cold
custard over it; or bake ii, and serve
with wine sauce instead of custard.
Suga. la Creme-Take pound of
maple sugar, put it ia 5, pan and put
the pan in another of boiling water.
until it melts into a syrup. Then put
in half steaspoonful of cream and
boil for ten minutes. Pour 1t out into
a well buttered dish; cut into squares
while cooling. Maple syrup makes a
healthful eau sucree, or 'sugared
water" which all children like and
some grown folks find useful.
Coconut Pudding-This is one OF
the most acceptable of easily made
buildings brought to our table. One
quart of milk and four eggs serve us
the foundation. Two this is added
one cup of desicated cocoanut, one
slice of bread broken up finely, and
a small lump of butter Sweeten To
suit taste. For frosting, keep out the
white Of one egg, beat to stiff froth,
and add two tablespoonfuls OF sugar

to brown,
Cream Pufs-One half pound of
butter, three-fourths pound Of pre-
pared -four, six eggs, two cups of
warm water. STR the butter int o
warm water; SCI over the fire and stir
on a low poll. When it boils put in
the flour; cook one minute, stir con
stantly. Turn into a deep dish to
cool. Beat the eggs light-yolks and
white seperately-and whip into cool

great spoonfuls upon buttered paper,
not so near as TO touch or run into

Poultry Notes.

1t is claimed tina: eggs at Is cents
per dozen are Sc economical for food
as beef steak at 10 cents pound.
Meal fed to poultry should always
be mixed with boiling water, which
partially cooks the food. A common
error is to make the food too wet and
soft, in which state it becomes igjur-
ious to the fowls, compelling them
to take more water than their nature
requires.
A correspondent of the California
Rural Press says he cleared his Poul-
try house of mites, with which 1t was
overrun, by sprinkling the inside
with the water in which the potatoes
for the household dinner had been
boiled. Two applications cleared them
all out.
When any contagious disease is act
ing present among the fowls, and 1t
becomes necessary to thoroughly
cleanse and disinfect the poultry
house, instead of mixing the white
wash in the usual way, dissolve half
pound of copperas (sul phste of from
in a pallful of hot water, and use
that to mix the wash with.
The average number of eggs laid
by an ordinary flock of hens is eight
and one-half dozen to fowl, vet in
stances have been recorded where a
hen has laid two hundred and fifty
eggs in one year.. and from sixteen
to seventeen dozen is considered by
poultry men remarkable yield.
HousS scraps, that is the waste
from the family table, will keep a
small brood OF towels, who will sup
ply the household with fresh eggs all
the year. The profits of poultry keep
ing, though not large, are satisfactory.
Don't forget that all the fowls be-
tween the age OF two days and twenty
one years are without teeth, and must
be supplied with sand and gravel in
order to carry ON the work of grinding
the food. To relieve them OF this
work by feeding them exclusively on
cooked food is to defeat one of their
natural faculties, and to give them
the grain without the means of grind
ing it is sure to result in disease.

IT is still a mooted scientific queS.
ton whether Digs are ever troubled
with rabies at all; or if they are
whether they can communicate the
disease to mankind by biting. Many
eminent physicians are strongly of
the opinion that the malady called
hydrophobia in man, is an magma
tive disease melted by fear of the con-
sequence of the bite. 1t is remark
ably seldom that one ever hears of
what we term ''mad dog. Very
few people ever saw one. We have
all seen CANNES with distemprr or
an epileptic fit, but the traditional,
open-mouthed, frothiag, frenzied ami
NAL that goes in bee line over tree
and fences and nips sideways at every
one he meets, is so much of rarity
that he may be deemed a remarkable
phenomenon, As well shut up al
mankind, because occasionally per
son suddenly becomes insane and
kills another, as to kill or impound
all dogs because some body's wifes
uncle once saw an animal with the
rabies. The mad-dog craze now rag
ing in New York and other American
cities is an evidence OF very weak
human nature, that is frightened at
It's shadow ON the wall. In New York
city alone, 200 dogs are daily killed
by the poundmester, who in all his
years of experience never saw one
that exhibited the slightest indication
of hydrophobia Were the police and
poundmasters to kill off only the
NANCY ours who harass many Of the
by streets of our cities, there woHld
be no complaint, but the wholesale
killing of valuable animals that have
homes and many qualities that en-
dear them greatly TO mankind, is in
deed slaughter of the innocents
that any dog lover must resent as
cruel shame.

A long sheep pen facing the south
and divided into at least two parts is
an excellent arrangement. The yards
into which they open should also be
separated. A long rack may form the
division of this yard, which may be
accessible from both sides and serve
as a common feed rack. Sheep should
never be turned isto yard with
other stock. Their timid nature makes
them a prey to all other animals.
They are hooked about by the cattle
and playfully chased and stamped
upon by the horses and colts. Give
them their own particular domain,
and separate the ewes with isInb, that
they may receive extra care and feed.

Quite a Romance.
Kingston Freeman

The romance OF the Indian girl,
Emma Camp, Of Iadian Lake will be
generally remembered. She was wooed
and won few years since By a young
man of wealthy parentage from Sing
Sing named George Mead. After the
couple were married the groom's par
ents so strenuously objected 10 the al
lance that the young man brought
action against his dusky bride to have
the marriage set aside on the ground
that he was drunk at the time the
marriage ceremony was performed.
Judgement would undoubtedly have
been obtained against the 'untutored
chief of the forest, but that the matter
was brought TO the attention OF Gen.
Hughes OF Sandy Hill. With his well
known chlvalry he undertook the case
and the plaintiff soon realized that
vigorous defense would be made; so a
compromise was effected, the parents
of the groom settling $4,000 on the
bride, who then allowed a decree TO be
entered setting aside the marriage.
This was two years, ago, but recently
the groom again visited the "wigwamn
Of his love. Again the Indian maid
en- was wooed and won, and the same
clergyman who officiated at the fro
mer marriage again pronounced them
man and wife. They left that section
ia company on the 21st OF December
on holiday wedding trip.

ed the bank note from an uncle in
Bombay, whose address he gave me.
This information [ forwarded 10 the
postal authorities in England, on
whom, OF course devolved the duty of
pursuing all further injuries with
respect TO the matter; and for some
little time thereafter | heard nothing
more about the business. However,
subsequtly learned the sequel of it.
The Mr. Blenklron resident in Bonn
bay, when communicated with stated
that the note had been sent to him by
"a merchant in Glasgow. That mer-
chaAt had received it from trades
man in the same place; that individu-
al, in his turn, had taken it from
clerk in one Of the branch postofices
in that city, in payment of his &C
count Thus, finally, the thief. of the
money have been brought home to the
clerk in question, he was duly tried
and convicted of the otfense.n
This was the cohsul's story, which
struck me as q rather curious one. 1t
is SAID, with justice. that the strength
of a chain is simply the strength of its
weakest link. Ia this case some of the
links of the chain of circumstances
which had rendered it possible to trace
the people through whose hands the
stolen bank note had passed, had been
of the slightest, snd had threatened on
more than one occasion to part. Yet,
by concurrence OF purely fortuitous
events, they had not done SO; but on
the contrary, the chain had held to-
gether so strongly as TO bringi an
offender 10 justice, after so long a
period had elapsed since the commits
sion of the crime that the criminal
doubtless supposed himself quite SAT-
from detection.

Burned in Their Ball Dresses.

A painful calamity is reported as
having occurred at StoEe, Davenport,
Eng. The other evening the Misses
Ella and Maud Fitzroy, aged Iespec-
lively 20 and 10, stepdaughters of Mr..
K. st. Aubyp, were engaged in dress
ing for the Plymouth Subscription
Ball. About O'Clock Miss Ella, can
die in band, proceeded 20 her dressing
room, Just as she had passed through
the door the flame of the candle set
the light material of her ball dress on
fire, and she was Immediately envel-
oped in flames. The attention of her
maid and sister was attracted by her
screams, and the latter at once ran to
her and endeavored to extlnguish the
flames. She was unsuccessful, and in
her attempt to save her sister her own
dress caught Ere. She was greatly
frightened and rushed down the
stairs, at the bottom OF which she was
met by her stepfather, VINO put out
the fire by rolling her in the carpet.
He afterward went TO the succor OF
Miss Ella, but found that the fire in
her dress had been extinguished.
Medical aid was at once sent for, and
when the doctors arrived they found
both ladies very much burnt, their
dresses having been entirely consHm-
ed. Miss Maud died twenty
hours after the occurrence, and hel
sister was in a dyiag condition at lat
est accounts.
