If this is not avail- able, then the miik of goats or COWS may be used. [If the ewe oF mother sheep has been well +8 on 'cats, bran, clover and few roots for at least a month before the birth of the' lamb, there is little likelihood of a milk shortage fer one lamb. Lambs that nave unkind mothers usually need some assistance to obtain nourish- ment. The mother sheep can be held by hand or tied with a haiter while the lamb nurses. . This is usually not 1 [IE ¥ SESS i 1 wish' to announce to the people of Dryden: and district that I have started in the grocery business in the Bigelow Block, An entirely Fresh Stock is expected ¢ ' F. in a few days.

The transfer of lambs from one ewe to another can be made at birth or Jwhile the lamb is still Very young by 'fooling the ewe, the way depends largely on the sense of smell to identify her offspring. Should a ewe have put one lamb, a day old, and it js desired to have wer feed a second one, rub the two lambs together until they have the same smell and-then test the ewe"s ability to identify i a ewe loses 2 her lamb and it ig desired to have her adopt and feed another one, such ean be done by removing the skin from the dead lamb and placing such on the back of the lamb that it is desired she should adopt. This must, of course, be done in a comparatively "short time; but cutting a slit in each corner of the pelt through which the legs of the-living jamb may be pass- ed, it is easy to. keep the skin in place for a few days. Twin lambs frequently do not get sufficient milk for 'best development, and again the strong lamb will get more than its share. Close attention is necessary to make such adjustment as will in- i sure the lambs getting a fair share. When lambs are not getting all the milk that they need PERCE provision should be made to sup- plement such by teaching the lambs to drink cows' milk: from bottle or pan. i" Grain Feeding. ; . When the lambs are two or three weeks old they will start nibbling at grain, hay or grass. At this time, they should be encouraged to feed: by way of placing choice bits of fod- der and grain in a small feed trough where they can reach it without be ~ ing disturbed 'by the older -sheep. Bran, ground oats, cracked corn and oil cake meal are'very. desirable con- centrates for lambs. Fresh water and salt should always be available in the pews, yards or pasture. The amount of grain to feed will: depend largely upon the use that it is desired to make of the lambs. Lambs for the "hot house lamb" eral grain feeding, breeding, or ordinary be limited Stable feeding. With lambs for ex- hibition, costs are sometimes of se- .eondary importance, and the grain feeding is more liberal than it is with the lambs of market type. Lambs fed from the beginning will reach market weight six or 'eight weeks earlier than those not receiving grain unt the commencement of the fat- tening period. When grain feeding is too liberal either before or after weaning, the lambs will depend upon the grain feeds, and not eat as much grass or other roughage as is in keep- ing with profitable feeding. amount of grain to feed must be de- termined by the age of ¥he lamb, the purpose for which it is "being. rear= ed, and the coarse feeds available. Grain feeding from the time that the while those for lambs begin to feed is a profitable ! practice if the amount of grain. fed per day does not reduce the lamb's - appetite for grass and other coarse feeds. During the fattening period, _ the quantity of should generally not exceed one and a half pounds per day if the feeding is to be profitable. Good pasture grass, clovers, or rape should be sup- plied liberally to all lambs intended for the ordinary market or breeding. With-hot house lambs, the coarse food is limited, grains and milk are largely depended on for rapid gains. Causes of Failure In Lamb Feeding. 1. Ewes not properly fed during pregnancy or after. L 2.

It sickness visits a home is the best service too good? Year after year all over this continent, various medical hospitals and nursing . ossociations have been grappling with an all important question, viz:\ the better caring for the sick and the pro- viding of the very best facilities to re- lieve suffering humanity. The better the service the greater the cost; and generally speaking, the greater the monetary burden upon the sick or afflicted. This question of providing a hospital service for the peopel of any province in Canada might be solved © by the establishment of municipal bos- "pitals, whereby ways and means could be provided for the peoplee to help themselves and bring to within reason- able access, the maximum of hospital service at the minimum of cost: There is an old saying, "In'time of _ peace prepare for war," but so far as health activities of this kind are con- cerned, there is another slogan; "In "time of health, prepare for sickness." : The usefulness of the municipal 'hospitals is e#pecially apparent in the early development of new parts of a province whére medical and nursing facilities are few and far between. Pioneers reust necessarily endure i 'hardships and inconveniences; but as development proceeds, population in- 'creases. Then, the lessons of the past should result in a resolve on the part of the people tc guard against the bii- ter experience of those whe have « 'broken the trail." Mg : This problem of providing medical "and nursing services to the great sparsely settled expanses of our pro- vince, is becoming increasingly im- portant. In some cases, families live as many as fifty miles from the near: est physician and have little or no means at their disposal to cope with any sickness or accident that may arise. i j % sind ETNA" IS ACTIVE: TOWNS IN DANGER } ; rxxe Stream of Lava 300 Metres Wide Threatens Lingauglosa District ; London, June 18. -- An Exchange Telegraph despatch from Rome quot- es an unconfirmed message received by the Naples newspapers to the effect that the town of Lingauglosa has been totally destroyed by lava from Mount Etna. y Fo Catania, June 18.--Mount Etna, is active today.
