Preparing Sheep for Winter.

One most essential thing in the vim
tering OF flocks is to have them fat
when winter sets in. 1t is idle to
hope to get flock through easily that
comes in to winter thin in flesh, yet,
strange to say, some growers are care
less enough to allow this to happen.
The trouble is. says the Rocky Noun
tain Husbandman. the hocks OF the
state are on highland ranges distant
from home, and are seldom seen by
the owner. If the herder happens to
be careful hand and intends to stay
with the flock through the winter
he will give them the necessary atten-
tion. But II, on the other hand, he Is
little careless and expects to give
the flock up US soon as winter sets in
then he is liable to pay but little at
tention to keeping them in good fix.
In large flock the thriftiest sheep
are, OF course. always in fine condition,
they lead the band and get the best
and the grower has nothing to fear;
that is look after the flock and see
that there are no stragglers. II there
are any OF this class in the fall their

corrall fence before the middle OF the
winter. 1t would. therefore, be advis-
able that growers mako frequent visits
TO their sheep camps and see to it that
their locks have PROPER treatment
To make success Of the sheep BUSH
ness one must give it his personal at
teution. 1t is true he may have q sr-
perintendent to look after his ranches,
locks ETC., in which case the duty Of
looking to the condition OF the flock
would develop on him. The man who
visits flock Of sheep every few weeks
Is also better capable Of judging as to
the Improvement or deterioration In
their flesh than tine herder who sees
them every day,

Tho Best of Hay for Cow.

1t is not economy TO feed second
class food to the dairy stock. The
COWS are tho milk farmers money
makers, and they are entitled to the
best tho farm produces, and in propor-
tion to tho liberality with which he
deals 1t out will the returns be. Too
often it is the custom TO fill the loft
over the cows with hay that is not con-
sidered suitable for the horses, because
OF discoloration. dusty condition or
partial damage in curing; this is wrong.
''Cow hay" ought to mean the sweet
est product Of the meadows, the earli-
est cut and the most carefully saved.
There is no hay too good nor way
that more profit will arise from feeding
1t than to the good COW in the winter
