The question of covered j'ards for young stock is one that has been much debated. Those who are in favour of them have at least two cogent arguments to support their viewsâthe additional shelter afforded to the cattle, saving thereb\r a given quantity of food ; and the economy of litter, much of which is alwaj's trodden to waste, or next to waste, in open yards. On the other hand, some writers contend that open yards are con- ducive to the health and hardiness of the animals; fresh air, and even exjsosure to the elements, being necessary to give them the desired vigour of con- stitution. It is true enough that young animals may easily be injured by being kept under cover too much, but we fail to see any advantage in exposing them to the storms and blasts of winter. Fresh air is necessary to them, and so is exercise, but it is a simple matter enough to arrange that they shall have plenty of both in connection with covered vards. The mistake made bâ those who on these grounds condemn covered yaixls lies in assuming that when once put in the yards the cattle are not allowed out of them during the winter. In this matter we may admit the teach- ings of instinct in the animals. If. young sto
