have used Bradley's Phosphate but year
but must say it has given me better satisfaction
than any other brand have ever tried and have
had them by the carload and know whereof
speak.
find in conversation with leading farmers about
here that Bradley's Phosphate is giving general
satisfaction. 1 used it for potatoes putting on a
liberal coat of manure, and using five hundred lbs
of the Phosphate in the drill per The result
was, 1 harvested two hundred bushels of potatoes
per acre in this poor year. The tops grew fast
the bugs could not keep up. For root crops the
result equally good.

this will call a temporary halt in the

How to Raise Sheep.
CYPRESS MEL, Texas,
February 22, 1882.

February 22, 1882.
Editor Star indicator.
Particularly during lambing time sheep
raisers cannot pay too much attention to their
hocks. To raise lambs with the least trouble
the ewes have to be kept in the best possible
order through the winter. Wherever there is
enough winter mesquite grass, lambs should
be raised as early as possible. have $50
now and expect to get 500 more within two
weeks. This season is especially favorable
for early lambs. On the first day lambs ought
to be kept by themselves with their mothers
and have rest; the ewes will not feed much
the first day. 1t is great advantage to have
some small grain for pasture for that purpose,
not far from the sheep stable. The second
day they travel little better; the ewes are
more encouraged to feed and may be herded
little farther off. The third day they can
travel mile and the old ewes may have
good chance to fill up; they should have water
then. 1t is best to keep on this way with the
three different lots and let the third-day lambs
be put together until the flock is large enough
say $50 lambs-and start another flock the
same way.
Weak lambs should be kept back with the
younger lots until they are stout enough, and
need no special care. Some ewes Tor several
days don't want to own their lambs and should
be put up with them in a little pen every night
until they do own them. These pens, width
and height ~ feet, length 81 feet may be
put 10 or IL in row on the inside wall of a
stable, and should have door in front Il use
a piece of plank IS inches wide pushed in be-
tween double lathing above and below SO
you can easily put them in or out. See that
the lambs suck, and always notice the udder
of every eve after the lamb is born and start
the milk if there is any. 1t is always best to
take the young lambs out of the flock every
night and put them with their ewes in separ-
ate small pens like above until morning.
Sometimes there is lamb where the eve has
no milk or a twin; these may be kept up I'M
til, which now and then happens eve with
plenty OF milk has dead born lamb. If the
skin of the dead lamb is put over the surplus
one, the mother OF the dead will take it for her
own. 1t is best to number with paint on the
side on tags tied around the neck--ewe and
lamb alike-so you will always know which
belong together. generally alter and mark
the lambs when they are about week old or
whenever $50 flock is ready and the weather
favorable. These few hints may be advan-
ageous to some that have less experience.
