Quality of Skin.

Some men fail to understand why
the quality of the skin Of COW counts
for anything 1t is because the mel
low skin denotes an animal that has
the quality Of making good use Of her
feed provided she has been well fed.
The skin is thus well nourished and
the result is that it is soft and pliable,
and the hair also is after the same
kind. The poorly fed animal will have
a hard skin because it has not been
supplied with the materials to keep il
in the best of condition.

Don't Oyerfeed.

In feeding sheep perhaps more than
any other animal it is important that
they be not clogged by overlooking.
Sheep should never be given at one
time any more feed than they will eat
up clean in a little while. II this is
done they will muss over and waste
more or less of it.
