The badger. which is known as tho
brock in the north OF England, has
some curious ways OF life. The author
OF "A Month In Mayo" notes some OF

hillock was badgers hole. Presently
he heard a grunt behind him, which he
took for that OF apig; and looking
around he saw, standing In clover
field close to him, nm immensely large
badger. whose object seemed TO be to
get into hole on the hillock. To reach
this the badger had no alternative but
TO pass close TO the mans legs. After
they had looked at each other for some
time in this way, tho badger at last ut

WEAVING LAMBS.

customed TO run and the ewes removed
out OF hearing. For few days the
lambs should be confined in covered
Enclosure and fed little hay and grain
and then be turned out to pasture to-

next morning; otherwise the worry, the
loss OF their milk diet and the annoy
ance of flies will cause them TO shrink
visibly and It is always bad TO- have
growth checked. The ewes should be
turned into a clean" pasture until dried
up. and they should be examined every
day, for it might be necessary TO relieve
tho udders OF some by milking.
Many allow the lambs to run with
their mothers continuously, but IL is an
unwise practice. The latter need to be
freed from maternal cares, whether
thoy are TO go to the shambles or be
retained for production. Sheep do not
feed in the middle OF hot, sunny days
when flies bother, but lie huddled In
