Lambs and Their Treatment.

At this time of the year most of the
lambs have been born, and are now
passing through critical stage of
their existence, for this season, they
are beginning to want that care and
attention as regard feeding, ETC., that
will to great extent make them pay
or not. Lambs should never be left to
their mothers and themselves to get
their living; they should, as soon as
ever they will eat, be allowed to have
their own trough to run to, where
should be found supply of nutritive
food, freshly placed, and in small guam
titles, being replenished from time to
time, at least twice day; for once an
owner allows lamb to lose his lamb
flesh, it is never to be regained. No
matter what it is intended to do with
them, either to fatten as lambs or as
wethers, or TO be kept for ewes to re-
plenish the flock, the same dictum ap-
plies. Always remember that once a
lamb, or any other animal, turns round
and deplenishes instead Of increases,
that not only the loss has to be made
up but the going back has to be stop
ped. This proceeding costs, both in
food and attention, quite as large an
amount as it would if the same had
been judiciously expended when the
lamb required it, say from fourteen
days old and upward, and have kept
him not only growing but covered on
the outside with that soft beautiful
touch that all properly fed sheep have,
and touch that materially adds to
their value when sold, for the butcher
or killer of meat knows full we'll that
he will find none than meat of the first
quality, such as no matter when or
where always commands the leading
price in the market.

The Suburban Farmer.

There is no good reason why any
farmer within four or five miles of
city should not make good living from
farm of 80 to 100 acres.
In the first place, he should keep 300
fowls in two separate houses and have
a warm place for them to sleep in the
winter, when eggs bring good price,
and he will average sixteen cents
dozen the year round for his eggs, and
more, if he sells TO private families and
his eggs are always reliable. If he gets
100 eggs from each hen, which he can
do and more, we have 81 33 from every
hen; that is $500 for eggs. Then he
should sell off the hens that are two
years old and raise $50 chicks to take
their place; $50 hens at 40 cents apiece
is $50, making total of $3.50 for poul-
try and eggs.
In addition to poultry-keeping, he
should fatten ten hogs so as to make
them weigh $50 pounds apiece. AT S.
hundred, that is $175 for pork. He
should also keep ten cows, one-half new
mixers in the fall and the other half
in the spring and sell enough butter to
average $40 from each COW. His re-
ceipts would then be as follows:
From butter. Observation-Disclosures. $500
poultry. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS." 400
pork. ......''....'..'''''" 10
Total receipts. ................... $1O35
He can moreover produce all that is
ne cessary for his family's maintenance
on the farm and have something to sell
besides-apples, rye straw, potatoes
and May hay, if his land is good.
We are given to complaining a good
deal of the hard times, but times are
not half 80 hard as they were in 1844-5,
when potatoes were Is to 25 cents a
bushel and hay 25 cents hundred and
rye straw 81 ton, and everything was
cheap that the farmer had to sell;
when common labOrer received $12
month-that was good wages for man
for eight mOnths-and day laborer for
ten hours 70 cents without board, and
so cents day in the winter for such
as could get work. We did not hear of
strikes then, and everybody was happy.
Finally, our farmer should have a
good wife that looks to her husbands in.
terests; should avoid all hotels as much
as possible, and should not drive fast
horses, but stay at home and attend to
business; he will then have money in
his stocking for rainy day, and need
not be afraid of the future.-Country

SANITARY WALLS.

: The Michigan State Board of Health
had paper published with their annual
report, in which the use of paper and
kalsomine on walls was strongly con-
demned and Alabastine recommended.
And the state once published book
entitled, "Shadows from the Walls of
DEATH" with samples of arsenical wall
paper, and placed 1t in all public libra
ries OF the State.

reverse of this, being manufactured
from whiting, chalks, clays, etc., for
base, and being stuck on the walls with
glue, which when exposed to the air,
moisture, ETC., soon decays, and the
rubbing and scaling then commences,
leaving the wall in terrible condition.
See that Alabastine is in packages
and properly labeled, taking nothing
offered as "iust as good" or "the
same thing" Druggists and paint
dealers sell IT,.

MUCH SICKNESS

Particularly throat and lung difficulties,
ignorantly attributed to other causes, is
the result of unsanitary conditions of
walls and ceilings. Think of having bed
rooms covered with layers of moulding
-four paste to feed vermin, with paper to
hide them and to absorb the moisture of
respiration, and an animal glue culture
ground on its face for disease germs;
this having strong colors added like

colored shirt to hide the dirt; then think
of "the nasty practice" of repeating this
papering without removing the old, and
a number of times at that, as many do.
Then think of room coated with pure,
porous, permanent Alabastine, which is
retinted with but little trouble or ex-
pense, and is purifying and sweet.smell-
ing and fills cracks. Wall paper free
would be dearer than Alabastine, if cost

1t is easy for any one to understand
that Alabastine, the basis of which is

KITTENS FIND A STRANGE
NURE.

A very curious incident is reported
from the village of Brockenhurst, in thu
New Forest, says the Westminster
Gazette. A few days since cat be.
longing TO Mr.. G. Foot. the LANDLORD
Of the Morant Arm Hotel, gave birth &c
FIVE kittens in hay loft. They were
removed to crib in a stall, in which O
broody hen had been sitting on some
china eggs. The hen resented the in
reference, and on making her way to
the nest promptly drove the cat away
from her charge, and ever since has re-
manned in possession, gathering, the
kittens under her wing as if they were
chickens. To enable the cat to suckle
her offspring the hen has to be forcibly
removed and the door locked against
her, but as soon as the door is opened
she returns to the kittens, and pussy
is obliged to beat hasty retreat
Should one Of the kittens topple over
the side of the pox in which they are
placed onto the floor, the hen, instantly
misses it, and leaves the others to
search for it,
