The Sheep Fold.

How old ought a lamb To be wher
weaned? Does age or condition de
termine this point? Some go by
rule regardless Of all other consider
ations; but il seems 10 Us that the
conditions rather than the time
should decide the question. Some
lambs at the same age are much
larger, stronger and better able 10
take care Of themselves than Others
Among the most influential Of the
conditions to be considered are the
care and keep Of the lamb and it,
mother. When everything II most
favorable, il may do in summer To
wean the lamb when eight weeks
OLD, as occasionally one does; bat IN
fall or winter on dry feed, OF when
the keep has been poor, this would
be cruelty, if it did not result in the
death Of the lamb. AS a rule a
lamb eight weeks old il too Young
for weaning Twelve to sixteen
weeks would be better age, de.
pending upon the kind Of treat.
ment and feed the lanibr are to re-
ceive ar well az on what they have
already had. But in all cases
weaklings should receive due con-
sideration. Judgment Instead Of
fixed rules should guide in such
matters.
Sheep as well as other animals
have their good and bad points. A
good mouth is Of prime consider |
alton, for an animal that cannot eat |
cannot thrive. Failure of the teeth |
is the beginning Of the breaking |
