country property owner to erect on
the roadside in front Of his farm q
simple but substantial and attractive
concrete watering-place.
The nrst requisite is, Of course, .
supply Of running water. which this
season has been especially hard to get.
Then . substantial stone foundation
should be laid below the frost line-an
iron supply pipe as well Is = waste
pipe being brought up through this
foundation. On this foundation can be
erected as simple or as elaborate de-
sign as one may desire. A mold Of
rough boards can easily be set up for
any rectangular shape, the boards be-
ing held in place by crosswise strips
nailed to the upper edges. The boards
can be raised as the work goes on.
1t Is important. In making any form

The roadway in front Of q drinking
place should also be well paved with

II round watering place is desired,

iron, or such q circular iron section as
IL used beneath roadways to permit
the passage Of water. This will make
an excellent lining for the watering
place and will provide flxed mark to
work from-the concrete being built
up around this iron cylinder. the
outer surface OF the concrete being
kept at an exact distance from the
iron lining all the way around. When
completed. but before the concrete is
lard, the outer surface can be scraped
with 4 straight-edged board, held per-
pendicularly, which will give = smooth

watering-pla ought to present even
fewer dimculties, for instead Of the
double board guides before mentioned,
a box of the required shape and size
can be used ~ temporary lining. this
being raised and removed when the
concrete has been carried to the de-
sired height. When any structure Of
this sort has been completed, 4 tree Of

to bring returns. and money is being
lost instead Of made on these animals.
One Of the commonest causes Of
snotty nose In standing in draushts Of
air. Most farmers seem to utterly
disregard this matter and yet nothing
il much more detrimental to sheep in
winter than being exposed to draughts.
When they are right outside. heat Is
generated rapidly and is radiated
slowly and uniformly. When they
are inside heat IN generated slowly and
II draughts sweep across them. is
radiated very rapidly. Their fleece
parts. a. they lie down and in . very
short time they are thoroughly chilled.
A cold with all its attendant evils re-
suits. II. on the other hand, sheep are
not exposed to dampness or to
draughts when inside. they arc not
likely to take cold.
1t II carelessness on the part Of
farmers or ignorance of its dangers.
rather than inability to overcome II,
that subjects sheep to such exposure
Almost any man, under almost any
conditions, can devise a means of
keeping sheep out Of draughts. One
method commonly employed Ia that Of
keeping the sheep either outside or in,
thus avoiding the necessity of leaving
the entrance way continually open.
II the barn is warm one, care must
be taken to regulate the temperature
by windows open on one side. else the
barn will become too damp and warm
and the sheep will take cold upon 60
ing outside. This scheme Is a pretty
good one. as outside feeding and plen-
ty Of exercise are associated with its
proper working.
Another method of obviating
draughts suggested by The Farmer. il
to set second door or gate at such
an angle with the regular one ~ to d.
rect the passage Of air into q corner
away from where the sheep lie.
Those who use open sheds have the
least trouble OF all because the circu-
lation OF air within il like that with
out and there are no rising currents.
The only dimculty in this case arises
when the wind or storm comes from
the direction Of the open side Of the
shed; thsn unfortunately nothing can
be done to protect the sheep except
put them in different quarters.
Alittle care and little thought ex-
pended along this direction will Be
more than repaid by the increased
healthfulness and growthiness of the
sheep.
