The Habits of the Sheep.

Strengthening, to the man who
thoroughly understands the ovlne
subject, is among the most pleasant
and profitable branches of live stock
husbandry. To the man who knows
the sheep only as something to which
he may fork hay and shovel grain, in
the hopes of converting his feed and
forage into money, the operation is
likely to prove remarkably expensive.
Millions of dollars have been lost by
American farmers in the effort to
make money in sheep-feeding, when
previous experience was entirely
lacking. Among the most defenceless
of animals, sheep are, at the same
time, among the most free from that
dreadful malady, tuberculosis. This
is due to the fact that, like the horse,
the sheep lives for the most part In
the open air and is not often cooped
40 from generation to generation In
close stufy quarters where tubercle
germs find luxurious habitat. Be-
sides, sheep 60 young to the block as
a rule, and, all these essential factors
being added to the further fact that
the sheep is the cleanest feeder in the
whole list of farm animals, we learn
the reason why tuberculosis is almost
unknown in the fold. Weather like
that through which we are now pass
ing, when the dampness of the humid
regions is overspreading the land, we
are sorry for the sheep placed in the
hands of the unskilled caretaker.
Sheep and dampness go together badly.

Oatmeal is a safe remedy for soiled

knuckles and wrists, with the meal,
