TO ROLL UMBRELLAS.

Every one who owns an nssSnbrclla has
wondered at some time or other why
Il is that he can never roll it mp aS
compactly and neatly as it was rolled
when he bought it, says the Gentle
woman.
Instead Of twisting with thc handle
you should take hold Of the umbrella
just above the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie even with
the stick.
J Keep hold Of these, pressing them
tightly against the stick, and then roll
up the cover. Holding the ribs prevents
them from getting twisted out OF
place or bending out OF shape. Then
the silk is bound to fold evenly and
roll smooth and tight
When the umbrella ls rolled in this
way il will last twice as long And
until II gets very, very old. it will nj
ways look just MS good rs it did on the
day it was bought.

BE KIND TO THE OLD.

We do not know anything that re-
guires more tact and more tenderness
than the treatment of old people by
those who are younger than them

feelings; give them something to dd
that they can DO; be respectful, defer
entail, reverential, even, and you VIII
reap n rich harvest Of hope in hearts

and of gratitude and affection for
yourself; the more so as the old are be
ginning TO distrust their own powers
and sometimes ask themselves the
question if their day of usefulness Is

PREPARING FOR LAMBS.

1t is well enough for writer's to tell
what sheep. and especially ewes,
should be fed during the winter. but
sheep growers have to feed whatever
they have grown for the purpose OF
cen afford to buy. Undoubtedly sOm6
grain and quite heavy rations of root
crops are beneficial to bred ewes and
enable them 70 carry their lambs in
better shape and drop good. strong
young While the writer is a thor
ough believer in good food for the
ewes. the average sheep raiser can bC
trusted to take care Of this part OF
the work without much advice. con
siderable Importance is placed on the
necessity for pure water, dry quarters
and exercise for the ewes.
Sheep can stand very cold weather
but dampness Injuries them quickly
and very greatly, so the first essentia,
is to see that the place provided foi
sheep is dry, then water in plenty, and
pure water at that, must be provided
and, quite as important as the rest, the
animals must be made 70 exercise. We
sheep growers know how prone the
eve is to take her ease when she be-
comes pregnant, but. in my opinion,
her success at lamDing period and the
health and vitality Of the lamb depend
largely upon the amount OF exercise
she has had. If the weather is dry,
force the ewes to take the rounds of
the inclOsure a number of times every
