SHELTER FOR SHEEP.

How a Good, Roomy Shed Can be Con-
structed at a Trif1ing Expense.
If one may Judge from what he sees
in travelling over the country, there are
many owners of sheep who apparently
think there flocks do not require any
special attention in the way of provid-
ing them with comfortable quarters
An ordinary open shed is the only pro-
lection they have against storms and
cold weather. Now, while sheep will
stand exposure perhaps better than any
other farm stock. such treatment can
not be given without causing loss, and
it will be found that those who neglect
their stock in this way are among the
first to complain that there is no profit
in keeping sheep. When sheep are
wintered without providing them
with comfortable quarters there is
loss not only in the food, more
being required to keep up the heat
of the body. but also in the quality of
the fleece. The effect of neglect on the
grow tn and texture of the wool will be
quite apparent when spring comes, an
examination showing an unevenness in
the growth and lack of the fine quality
which is found in the fleeces of those
sheep which have been protected from
the cold storms of winter. When shell
ter can be provided at so little cost, it is
strange that any one will think of keep
ING sheep in the way many do, for it is
easily shown that the loss sustained by
such course will, in short time. be
sufficient to more than equal the ex-
pcnsc of building comfortable quarters.
These need not be of an elaborate char
acter, but can be constructed quite
cheaply by the use of straw
and poles. enough of the former
being used for a roof, so that
water can not get through it. In tbs
way good, roOmy shed can be so con-
structed that it will last for two or three
seasons, or it may be newly covered
each fall with fresh straw. Care should
be taken to secure proper ventilation
where the shed is closed all around.
This may be done by means of windows
on the sides. or by openings through
the roof If the doors are left open
when the weather is not too stormy or
cold. the sheep will stay out in the yard
much of the time through the day. A
little care and forethought in this direc-
ton will be found to pay we'll in the
improved condition of the sheep when
spring comes.-Nation&. LiUe- Stock

ICE FOR THE DAIRY.
Directions for Laying In and Keeping
Sufficient Quantity.

Directions for Laying In and Keeping n
Sufficient Quantity.
The use of ice is increasing every
year. The case with which it is stored
and kept, when once the art is under
stood, should induce dairy farmers of
the whole country to arrange for laying
in sufficient stores to last them the en-
tire year. The conditions for keeping
arc: A mass of several tons, rs nearly
solid as possible, resting upon base
of porous material which will admit OF
perfect drainage, and surrounded by
walls which will not contract heat. This
may be in pit with plank walls, or
with stone walls we'll planked on the
inside, having a bottom of rails covered
with brush or Stats, and straw
topped with wheat chaff. which secures
drainage without much access of air.
The side walls above ground, if they
rise above or if entirely above, must be
double, and should be foot apart,
with the space between them packed
with dry sawdust, chaif or some
similar material, very dry and porous,
but so packed that it will not settle and
leave holes for drafts of air. The roof
should be constructed so as to shield
the ice from the heat of the sun. 1t is
best made double, that is. shingled.
with boards nailed to the under side of
the rafters, but this is non essential.
1t is important that the earth be well
banked against the stills so as to prevent
currents of air getting down near the
ice and out at the foundations, as these
cause great waste.
The walls may be entirely of straw,
if it be abundant, but this, if used,
must be well tramped and packed, and
free from wheat, which is n temptation
to vermin, whose runs will form air
duets.
There must be full calculation made
for wastage, and four times as much
ice stored as will be used, unless the
house is of the very best construction.
II drain tiles can be laid at the bot
tom, below the base, to take the
drainage, good use can probably be
made of the ice-water, which will flow
through them. Thus great saving of
ice may be effected, and efficient cool
ing secured. This will enable the
dairyman to have a cool tank for deep
setting at minimum expense.
The door should be double, that is.
two doors; the outside in sections,
hinged to the doOr-post, the inner one
also in sections of convenient size to
handle, to be set in place as the house
is filled, and removed as the ice mass is
lowered. Planks of the right length,
dropped in between cleats, answer the
purpose well. Ventilation in the roof
must always be provided to allow a
constant change of air, but no drafts.
The air resting above upon the ice.
even though there be deep layer of
straw over the ice, is always charged
with moisture. and rapidly conducts
away the cold, or rather conducts in
the heat and so meits the ice.-Ameri-
