FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Water in Feeding sheep.

It h q very common notion that
sheep need very tito water. some 60.

do best if entirely deprived Of 1t when
at pasture. and given but a scanty sup
ply when kept on dry feed. Nothing
could be more erroneous. VI every

carried on only when the forage and
grain are floating in water, Inc isct
L. few animals drink more. in pro-
portion 10 their weight. and none
drink so often as sheep when the wa

be found. though drinking but little ut

It almost In preference to pure water,
sheep will never become used to such
water. and will absolutely suffer from
thirst before they will drink even

let the shepherd wash only his hands

more than 'srutf' the water until the
vessel is cleansed and filed afresh. 1t
Is, therefore, essential that the drink

dtoppings can fall into them and that
the sheep cannot put their feet into
them, and ut least twice each day every

but foolish as we'll. Nothing taken in

appropriated or even digested until 1t
Is warmed to the temperature OF the
stomach, which is full blood-heat or
little more. And as all the animal
heat comes from the consumption OF

its generation, it seems absolutely fool

The rule. then, in watering feeding
lambs is to give them plenty. to furnish

troughs from the wells or to keep 1t in
tanks In the barns, where 1t will re-

IF the market becomes overstoc ked
with poultry, as is sometimes the case
at this season of the year, the farmer
can use the surplus at home at less
cost than to sell. Fresh meat can be
provided for the table the entire year

spring until fall.

Experiments made at the instance OF
the Belgian minister of public works
indicate that wood can not be rendered
incombustible. 1t may, however, be
protected from fire to considerable
extent either by the injection of GER

of paint or coating. The latter plan
is the more practical. and the sub
