House the Sheep Early.

I begin feeding early as a shrinkage
in the fall is double loss. A little feed
in the early winter will produce sub
stantial gains. while the lack Of it will
result in q decided loss. There il no
time in the year that you get more for
your grain than in the early winter.
: Keep the flock sheltered from all
storms at this season, putting them in
the barn merely to shelter them from
the wind and storms and not to keep
them warm. Keep all doors open. yet
avoid drafts. This keeps the barn at
nearly the same temperature as the
outdoor air. Keep the sheep dry and
prevent drafts and you need not worry
about the cold.-D. D. Deeds. in Farm
and Home.
