With the approach OF the cold
months, as the farmer is making prep.
arations for his comfort, he should not
forget to similarly provide for the ami
mails on the farm.
Especially young stock demand good,
warm shelter, and this should be pro-
vided for them before the real cold
weather sets In. Warmth to a young
animal is equal to a moderate amount
of food.
Animals exposed to the frosts and
storms OF winter are almost sure to
catch cold, If not contract some other
disease that will either enfeeble them
or prove fatal.
Farmers that do not take this matter
into consideration often have animals
take sick and nope, and, perhaps, die,
without the fact for a moment being
taken into account that their sickness is
due to the cruel exposure to which they
haze been subjected.
Truly ii has been said that the merci-
full man is merciful to his beast, and
the man who is not is not only unfit to
nave the care Of animals, but deserves
to lose them.
