While it may .not he that after twelve months of care the animal canuot be left to shift for itself, or should be neglected, it is true that if neglected during the first twelve months no af ter care can.remedy the injury. The first Winter is the critical time in the life of yenng stock. So, if yon expect to make good-things of the young stock coming yearling, be sure that yon provide well for them this Winter. Never let them ;get hun gry or stand put;in the. cold or . rain. The first step toward improving your stock is to learn, to take care of what yon have. Learn how to keep stock by raising good scrubs and yon will soon be able to toy good stock. There is good deal yet to be learned i by the widest and most .experienced of stock breeders as to- the physiology ot breeding and feeding, aud it is a mai ler of astonishment how much the ma jority of -men- who keep stock have to Cape Charles, a matri- monial discussion ensued between the pair, which warmed as they proceed ed.
