Feeding Discarded Larnbs.

There are various ways suggested TO
make a eve mother her own lamb or
twin from another eve that has not
enough milk for both.
Some advise whipping the eve into
subsection, but this is very cruel and
seldom satisfactory. When q eve loses
her own lamb and it is desired to make
her own another It has been recon-
mended 10 skin her own dead lamb and
tie the pelt over the lamb that is to
be adopted.
This plan Is sometimes satisfactory
n the ewes sense Of smell is not very
keen, although II more often fails
Other breeders have tried tying a dog
near by claiming that the maternal in
stinct Of the eve will exert itself and
1t will own the lamb while trying to
shield it from the dog.
Perhaps the most satisfactory meth
cd when a eve refuses to own her
lamb is to fasten her in between bur
dies
This gives her chance to eat and at
the same time prevents her from turn
ing around to butt the lamb. In such
a position, however, the eve will often
lie down. This may be prevented by
passing light pole through the hur-
dies, resting it on the lower bars be-
meath her belly.
The eve can be confined this way
throughout the day, and if the lamb
is at all lively he will manage to get
enough to eat. The eve should always
be released at night.
A day or two Of such confinement is
often sufficient to bring an obstinate
eve to reason. Such hurdles can cas-
lily be made by any farmer, and it is
well to have them on hand for Just
such emergencies.

Protecting Orchards from Frost.
Some Of the South Texas orange
growers have taken up the study Of
devices to protect orchards against
winter cold. The California plan of
burning oil In pipes laid throughout
the orchard and perforated at inter
walls Of so to 100 feet seems most like
ly to be favored In South Texas. This
region has the oil at It's door, and oil
is more easily handled than wood fires
1t is a certainty that South Texas or
ange orchards ought to be given this
protection, especially after the plant
ing of other and more delicate varie-
ties than the Satsuma becomes general
1t may not be needed oftener than once
In two or three years, but at such times
it will save orchards that, lacking
this protection, might be ruined. The
orchard fires in California where oil
is burned, and in Florida, where wood
Is handler and cheaper and therefore
most generally used, are regarded as
legitimate and necessary charge
against the business. Not all the
growers make fires-there are some
men in every business that delight In
taking chances-but the majority of
the best growers in both States, and
especially in California, are prepared
thus to save their orchard investments.
