FEEDING SHEEP
DURING WINTER
Value Of Regularity in Care oi
Animals Demonstrated by

Sheep should be fed regularly in
the winter. In fact, as much depends
on the regularity of feeding as on the
feeding itself. Those who are famiL
lar with the characteristics of sheep
know that they always become rest
less about feeding time.
The value OF regular feeding has
been demonstrated by experiments
with two flocks. at a certain western
agricultural experiment station. One
was fed daily at six o'clock In the
morning and again in the evening
while the other was fed at different
times during the day. The result was
that the flock fed regularly turned
out in a thrifty condition In the fol
lowing spring. while the others were
thin and sickly.
Many OF the latter flock had died
during the winter, fully eight per cent.
of the lambs had either died at birth
or made only a stunted growth. By
feeding at set time every morning
and evening better results will be at.

crafty the vanity of this ruler.
When the Julian calendar was in.

to accept this method. but Russia is
the only Christian country that does
not follow 1t.
Although for many centuries there
was SO great variety in the selection
of the day regarded as the first of the
year, religious observances and festive
rejoicing were general among all peo-

of the customs retained upon the es.

had named the month in honor OF
Janus. the twofaced. who was thus
supposed to turn at once back upon
