nearly all the time in summer. lt may
be that the impure heated air breathed
by the sheep kept in the warm barns
assists the growth of the worms, and
the sheep being kept still lose energy
and become easy victimsa of these
worms: while sheep kept where they
San breathe the clear, frosty air are
more active, and the cold air taken
through the windpipe to the lung chills
the egg or worm and prevents 1t work
ing impunity to either Windpipe or
lung. and in coughing the sheep may
throw them out. 1t seems that the
warm barns produce the most dead
sheep from lung worm in this vicinity.
En-
Poultry must be kept warm in winter
if you expect eggs, and, while warm the
ventilation must be most thorough. II
the house is battened the baLtens must
be kept well nailed. # there are cracks
they must be closed. Then line the
inside of the house with tar paper, and
also the sides and overhead. Provide
plenty of light. Then ventilation Is
important. It must be ample at the
top, where the fowls roost. How this
may be accomplished in simple way is
told by q correspondent of the Formers
Review, who holds that this can be
easily accomplished by making a long
box of three six inch fence boards, open
at one side, long enough to reach from
foot above the floor to the highest
point In the building. Fasten this box
against the wall, with the open side to
the wall, the lower end foo above the
floor. Cut hole through the wall into
the box at the upper end and put cap
on the upper end so that the opening
will be only to the outside air. This
will give draught enough to take out the
foul air charged with carbolic acid gas
from the respiratiOns of the chickens,
and their exhalations, and will retain
the warm air generated from a large
number of fowls, keeping the inside at
considerable higher temperature than
the outside air. The opening through
which the fowls go in and out will
admit sufficient fresh air and this can be
kept closed or partially so in severe
weather. A few joints of stoVe-pipe
with an elbow reaching outside will
make a very good ventilatOr.

berries TO amount to anything. Now, if
the readers of this paper will use the
following plan, every man and woman
with plot of ground can have plenty
of berries First, get the two sorts above
mentioned, of some reliable nursery
man and set them out early in the
spring in rows, 81 feet apart and 2
feet apart in the rows. Set out four
rows of one kind then four rows OF the

planted on good soil. Now cultivate
well the first year, but do not allow the
plants to run all over the ground
Direct the runners so as to make q
matted row OF plants, about one foot
wide. In the fall cover the rows with
straw or corn fodder; cut straw is best
as it can remain on the plants IN the
spring. The plants Will come VI
