Let $G$ be a 2-edge-connected graph with $o$ vertices of odd degree.
It is well-known that one should (and can) add  $o \over 2$ edges to $G$
in order to obtain a graph which admits a nowhere-zero 2-flow. We prove
that one can add to $G$ a set of $\le \lfloor{o \over 4}\rfloor$,
$\lceil{1 \over 2}\lfloor{o \over 5}\rfloor\rceil$, and
$\lceil{1 \over 2}\lfloor{o \over 7}\rfloor\rceil$
edges such that the resulting graph admits a nowhere-zero
3-flow, 4-flow, and 5-flow, respectively.
