Plenty of litter, such as cut straw and leaves, must be given so that they will be compelled to scratch for all their gxain. 'lhs giVea them the exercise n..cosaary for egg production. Arrange nests under the platform, also along sides of scratching pen, making them as dark as possible, as hens require occlusion in laying.

About 10 o’clock give a pint of millet or other small grains, screenings or wheat will do, to every twelve hens. Throw this amtng the litter and kick it under, making them scratch for it.

Sheep starved in winter will have Weak spots in their wool next spring. When a horse has been worked all day it should be carefully groomed at night. if raising sheep for mutton select the breeds Which grow rapidly and mmure early, rather than those which pro lace a heavy fleece of wool. Ewen that come trom sheep that hue often had twins will be more like. [y to have twins. nod if the male came [romatwin ewe all the better for rapid increase of the flock. The highest type of beef steer in the estimation of the packer of this day,{ without naming all the characteriS-i tics, is rather short, wide end deep“ and of course thick-fleshed. Th’s'; type is all right, but we think a littlei hard to nainta'n, because it seems in-j clinod to grow too short and blockyi with consequent loss of weight. ‘ i Barnes should have at least seventy-E five minutes for each meal. If they: finish in less time, as they probably'i will. noth'ng will be lost by giving; them a few minutes’ rest and digesU tion will be better if it is well under, made up by ’quicker and more vigor- ous action in the field. The horse that haa IeVenty-five minutes for meals can, and will, do more work than the home that has only forty-five minutes.

But the pulse is not the same in all people. It beam as slowly as 60 to the minute in some, and as taut as 75 in others, It would therefore be necessary to know at what rate your pulse tumul- ly beats. Another way of measuring time with tolerable accuracy in by the breathing. Moat people breathe 15 time: per minute. or once every 4 seconds.
