He na vs : Wo iro renlly n winter qnarters r.ow, aiid every animal mast ha?e it.s llowance dealt out to it 'J'lu'V can no jonger olitüin a supply of food in the field ; a'id liurcing v.::;i's ;iii;! pelUpg fitorma wül use u a dollar'a wortb oi int and tlesh in sustaining an n misal . 1 havo always tound ihat itia much moro eoonsmical and hetter, in everv respect, to Bustain animáis in gópd frtabled or shod, with enough to eat, than to leave thera where thry wil bo compelled to v.se np nny (f tho fat thoy li;ivo luid up, durmg the summer, for vvunt o! a proper supply of focfi. Is every animal wc! iod and proporly protected ? Are your Btables all in order? or aro the boards knooked otF hero and thcre, so that tho co'd winds and storme cao beat upon tlio borsea.7 Does every milch cow hnvc a good eupply of nutrilious food, not le.ss ilinn twico daily ? Oowa cannot ba espected to yield even a tolerable aupply of milk unless they can havo a good supply of sneculent food. Does every animal havo a comfortnblo place, where she can lay down during Uie niht, and enjoy quiet rumination and rest? ilow is it with your c:;lvcs ? Do they have all the good hay they can eat during the uight- and do they get a little meal vvvrv day - and have a comfortable shed or stablu? Do thoy fill themsolves well - or dotheir sidos- as my littlo boy said - " look as if sorne one had kicked them all in with a big boot?" Where are your sheep ? Aro they away off in some dista:it field, tryïng to make a meal by pftwmg the saow ofi the grass? Have youríambs been separatod long ago fiom tho old sheep - and do they now have the benefit ot a good shelter, a plenty of fodder and a little grain every day ? Do you intetrd to keopthoso colts in that field, all winter, with no proteotion but a rail fepce ? That is a practice that economical farmers cannot afford to adoptin raising doinestic animáis. If every animal does not have a good supply of food, and a eomiortablo proteotion, no time should be lost in Bupplyinp theso very important items, without delay. Is tho barnyard in a good condition for the comfort of your animáis - or is there nothing but# fine manure, mud and water for them to stand or lie down in ? Have all tho holes and crevices been stopped about tho sheds - or does the cold and storms rush through thom, and ronder the shed colder than it would be awny from such shods? Let us have all theso jobs attended to without delay, if they .have not been performed ; and keep the yard woll littered with straw. ipíbigao Jlrgus.
