PRACTICAL HINTS
Worth Counlng by the Farmer who Raises

Worth Conning by the Farmer who Raises
sheep.
Sheep must have exercise to make
the wool grow long. They may be kept
shut mp tight and fed on grain. and
make fat. thick on tho rib, but they
must walk the fields to make blood and
muscle and fleece. The oil or yolk fol.
licles and the wool follicles are plant
ed close side by side on the skin; and
il the yolk follicles are overcrowded
with grain feed they compress and
dwarf the wool follicles, and the fiber
is short, though it may be true and
sound.
Sheep fed very highly on grain. to Be
fattened, will consume with relish an
occasional feed Of straw, weedy hay,
ragweeds, or the like; and it will be
better for them than = steady. unbrok-
en- regimen of any one-feed stun, how
ever excellent in itself.
Timothy is too binding for an animal
whose system tends so readily to fever
and constipation as does that OF the
sheep. Almost any kind Of straw ex-
cept buckwheat, which is apt to poison
the lips, is better rs . coarse feed for
fattening sheep than clear timothy. In
fact there is no kind of hay except
clover which is IS good unmixed rs the

It is often urged rs . sufficient argu-

stable that it is impossible to keep
them in order without clearing ont the
manure which is constantly being
dropped into them. To obviate this dis
agreea BILE task, the feeder may set the
trourhs around the sides of the build

Church Exercises.

We deepII regret that we could not
attend each church Christmas even
ing and listen to the exercises given.
Each church was beautifully decorat-
ed, and presented a bright, Joyous
appearance. Each Sunday school had
procured the necpssaries for the
children's treat and in most cases,
had been secured the services of the
traditional gray-bearded Santa Claus
to distribute the presents and make
merriment for the little folk.
The exercises throughout we're very
good and many a pour little boy or
giIl whose only Christmas Joy must
cone from the helping hand of a
stranger friend was made glad BY the
loving kindness and generosity of
those whom fortune had more abund-
antly blessed. Such is the humane
and christian like spirit which per-
vaded our churches yesterday but
which is far too often forgotten save
when the festive holiday reminds us
OF our daily duty to human kind.
Many contributions were made yester-
day to be distributed among the poor
Of our city and this has been the
means OF bringing into many We'll
Iington home Christmas gladness
and thankfulness without which there
would have been naught but hunger
ing and shivering desOlation. But
has passed and if the
church and the citizens as a whole
will do their duty in the new year
approaching, the Christmas OF 1895
will find Wellington the model city Of /
