each farmer will donate small

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY.

There is a great difference in
lambs. Some come strong and some
come weak. and some never breathe
at all. In the latter case there usu-
ally has been something wrong with
the care of the eve; either her feed
has not been right or she has been
hurt in some way or she was long
in lambing and the attendant did not
help her as soon as he should. Some
times there is something abnormal
about the lamb itself, so that no eff
fort would avail in saving its life.
But usually lambs come with suf-
ficient life in them so that they may
be saved, even though weak, if pro-
per care is given. And it takes a
man interested in his work to give
proper care. A man has no business
caring for sheep unless t hurts him
