Almost every day we see evidences
of the widening sphere of woman's in
dustrial and professional activity.
Women by the thousand are engaged
now in many occupations from which
they We're excluded only a few years
ago. Their success and usefulness in
almost every line they have attempted
is fast beating down the remnants Of
feudal prejudice against the employ
ment of women, is enlarglng the gen
eral estimate of woman's capabilities
and helping on the cause of equal COM

work and as good work as men and
yet receive less for it, observes the At

1t is no unreasonable expectation
that ere many years have passed the
use of binders, bearing reins and cruel
bits for horses will be given up except
for animals whose vicious tempers
make it necessary to employ severe
restraints. Old fashioned notions that
most of these docile and intelligent
servants of mankind should be han
died with suspicion and distrust, and
should be maltreated until their spirit
and courage are broken, are losing
ground in this generation, as they
should do. In most instances the well
bred horse responds generously to
kind treatment, and does not abuse
the confidence which may be placed in
him. Bookings and barbarities OF any
kind are out of place in this era OF en-
lightenment.

An Experience with Winter Lambs.

Much attention is necessary to raise
lambs successfully for the winter and
carly spring trade. In the first place
secure ewes OF good lamb producing
strain, preferably belonging to one of
the mutton breeds. There is some diff
| Guilty In having the lambs come at the
right time They should be dropped
from the beginning Of October to the
middle of November. This gives them
an opportunity to get start before
very cold weather sets in. The ewes
also give milk much more freely than
than later. If the weather is fine the
| lambs may be allowed to run in the
| yard or pasture few hours every day.
| If some green feed such as rye, rape
or mustard can be provided they will
do well. The lambs must not be al
lowed to remain out in cold or wet
weather.
The ewes should be provided with an
unlimited supply Of good feed, espe-
cially when confined to the barn. ST.
lage and clover hay with an OCCASION
al feed of shredded cornstalks should
comprise the roughage. As grain "a
tlon use a mixture of linseed and cot

corn and bran. Oats are fine feed, but
as a rule are too high in price in this
part of the country.
like a basement barn with south
ern exposure for sheep. This can be
kept at an even temperature, but must
be well ventilated and free from
drafts, with a thoroughly dry floor.
The floor must be well bedded and
kept perfectly clean. The ewes should
be divided into small lots of not more
than twenty, so they will not crowd at
the trough. They should also have
plenty Of trough and rack room.
Those with twins should be placed in
n separate inclosure, as they will re-
quire more feed than the others. The
lambs should have a separate pen
where they can go to be fed, and
should be given corn, lingeed meal,
cornmeal and beans, with plenty of
good clover hay
Sheep should always have plenty OF
water and salt. 1t is best to have this
where they can get at it at any time.
Winter lambs require a great deal of
attention. and unless this can be given
do not attempt to raise them How
ever, they usually sell for high prices
and fully pay for all the effort expend-
