a very good plan when the runs arc re-
stricted is to have gravel runs to the
houses of moderate capacity for each fifty
birds, and large field in grass, where
they can go in turns during the day.
When fencing is necessary the best ma
terial is wire netting, which, if galvan-
lied, lasts Il long time That with two
inch mesh is fine enough An admirable
fence is shown in the cut. The bottom
half is of galvanized iron and the upper
half of wire, thus forming a complete
division between runs and being at the
same time Il shelter against rain, wind
and sun. Movable fences are u good in
vention, as these prevent frequent

ENGLISH METHOD OF HURDLING SHEEP.
The above engraving shows how
these hurdles are made and the method of
using them. A row of these hurdles is
placed across the field The field in which
they are used consists of six acres A
strip of ten feet wide is thus set off. upon
which 400 sheep feed They eat up all
the grass upon this strip and that which
they can reach by putting their heads
Through the hurdles. The hurdles are
then turned over, exposing another strip
rather more than four feet wide at each
turn. When this is fed off. the hurdles
are again turned over, The sharp points
presented by the hurdles prevent any
trespassing on the other side of them. and
by using two rows of hurdles the sheen
are kept in the narrow strip between
them Their droppings are very evenly
spread over the field. and it is richly fer.
tilted by them. AT night the sheep are
taken off. The growth Of the grass con
tinues under this treatment, and when
the field has been fed over. the sheep are
brought back again to the starting point

A personal friend of Sammy Braun

"There are many people who are

Sammy and the Hon. Samuel, M. A. /,
are of the same family and drink

on the road and Samuel in the

ignorance of this fact that Freddy A..

The Catholic church in England.

Some interesting particulars are

Burns & Oates, regarding the progress
Of Catholicism in this country. While
the number of bishops remains the
same, that OF priests has been in
creased by forty-nine, and reaches a
total Of 2,64S. The number of churches
and chapels is 1851, showing an in
crease of twenty-one during the year
now ended. OF the secular clergy,
ordained priests for England and
