Demand for Eat Lambs.

Prof Henry says, in Feeds and Feed
ing, the demand for well-fattened
lambs steadily increases, the tender,
juicy meat finding favor among Amer
leans. Not only DO prices for fat
lambs rule high as compared with ma
ture sheep and farm animals general
ly, but there are other advantages in
favor of feeding of lambs before they
reach maturity. A given weight of
feed goes further with the lambs than
mature sheep; the money invested is
sooner returned, and there is less risk
from death and accident. Thus, every
thing tends toward hurrying lambs to
market as rapidly as they can be fat
tened and as early as they can be dis
posed of to secure the highest price.

yearly for small repairs, which, if the
farmer only had few tools and suit
able place in which to work, could
often be saved. Indeed, workshop on
the farm is a necessity-an essential
part of the farm machinery-and in
case a convenient spot is at hand the
general farmer can do nothing better
than erect building similar to the
one shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
AS can be seen, it is located against
q bank. This affords q basement which
for housing poultry and swine in win
ter is not easily, as far as warmth goes,
to be surpassed. The second floor is
for storing various agricultural tools
and implements, from the hand to the
wheel rake, and from the ordinary
sickle to the moving machine and
reaper, while one corner-preferably
on the sunny side--is partitioned off
into workshop. Being equipped with
work bench and heating apparatus,
the farmer herein can pass many a
stormy day, no matter what the sea-
son of the year is, constructing berry
and vegetable crates, mending harness
or doing whatever tinkering work is
required on the farm or in the house.
An extensive set of tools is not re-
quired. Simply few of the most prac-
ticable ones VIII suffice, such as vari-
Gus sized augers and bits, handsaws,
square and scratch avis and good
wise, so that saw filing and the like can
be done. Paint and varnish should also
be in stock, for then, not to mention
any article which has been made, the
harrows, plowS, cultivators, and, in
fact, all agricultural implements from
which the paint has worn off may on
coming in in autumn or at any other
time be brushed over, and so prevent
the iron from rusting. Furthermore

A HANDY BUILDING.
Upper Story Is a Workshop and Tool
House, the basement n Comfort
able Winter Shelter.

One of the great drawbacks with
some farmers is that their outbuild-
ings are not arranged conveniently or
with any thought of economy. This is
something during these days of rapid
progress and desperate competition
that will not do. Saving in little things
may often seem too trivial, we admit,
but if not carried to the point OF
penny wise and pound foolish" it is
what helps to plant the most gigantic
stones in the pyramid of any industry.
How many farmers have sunk for
tunes in machinery of every descrip-
ton simply for the want of properly
housing and taking care of it! Then,
numerous are the dollars paid out

CARE OF LATE BROODS.
Push Them Rapidly to Health-
full Maturity.

Last year I raised 300 chicks, but
none of them matured and grew so rap
idly as the late Matched September
brood, and think it partly due to their
generous feeds of cracked corn. Find
ing that these September chicks were
crowded from the feed boards when
ever the older focks were fed, placed
