est price, If a lamb at six months old will bring five dollars tor nearly twice as much as it would at a year old) it would be the height of folly uo keep it any longer. Or course, it is more trouble to have lambs come in the latter part of winter or early spring, as the ewes must have warm stable to keep the lamps from getting chilled after birth, and a generous feeding of roots or grain to supply milk for them. It requires more work, but it is work that returns big remun- eration When the ram is placed with the ewes, his breast should be "ruddled" Gas the Scotch call iD or smeared with red paint so that it can be told where his attentions have been bestowed, and a score kept so that the shepherd may know when the lambs are to be expected, and be on hand to attend to their welfare. In England the best time for ewes to yean is found to be about the middle of April. Lambs yeaned or dropped in the winter keep tender and weak longer than those brought forth in April or May, and therefore require more care and it must be continued for a longer time.

LEAD MINING INACTIVE.
Not Very Profitable at Present Price
 of the Metal.

The improved prices that have been received for lead during the past few months have stimulated the working of many silver-lead mines which could not otherwise have been proftably operated. Recently, however, the lead market has been somewhat dull, all though lead ore has been in good de- mand. The market throughout the country remains dull for the metal and extremely lively for the ore The largest consumer of pig lead is the National Lead company, which owns the Cocorro, N. M, plant, the Harri- son plant at Leadville and the works of the St. Louis Silver and Reduction company. Of these works the St. Louis plant only is in operation. They are smelling common lead ores into pig lead and throwing it onto the market as fast as made, in order to keep down the price of pig or refined lead, so that they can buy at the low est price for their corroding works, which require annually 80,0O0 tons of pig lead. Other consumers of lead are naturally buying very carefully and do not push the demand. The Mining Investor of Colorado City says:
 The expectation of general prosper 1ty and consequently largely in- creased consumption of lead for i'm provements has not been fulfilled. This IS partly accounted for by the fact that the farmers who have received and are receiving big prices for their wheat are convinced that the present era of high prices is but temporary. and entirely due to the scarcity of crops in Europe. They are therefore cautious and inclined to hoard their resources. Thus the efforts of the Ma t1onal Lead company to keep down the price of lead are being aided by the economical tendencies of the farm CTS and this in turn reacts on the general trade. As to lead ores, the con- dltions are quite different A great number of mines having a medium grade Of lead and silver are still idle on account of the low price of silver. The percentage of lead in the ore and the price of lead ore itself offer no special inducement for reopening the mines. Some mines, however, having large bodies of concentrating ore have been recently started up, and it is gratifying to learn that for 60 and 65 per cent lead concentrate as high as 65 cents unit on a $4 basis is being paid in contract lots. This ought to stimulate the opening of many other properties. It is a price that leaves the smelter very low margin of profit for treatment but as the ore is needed on account of the necessities oi the lead shelter, the higher level o1 prices is maintained"
