4 Few Facts Worthy Of Every sheep

One great secret of success in breed
Lag sheep is TO keep them at all seasons
OF the year well graded and sorted up as
20 age and physical condition. The lamb
iloas, If composed of only one hundred,
viii need some wedding out; there will
be some inferior lambs; take these out
and put them in a small pasture lot by
themselves, and il possible sell them TO
tho first buyer that comes along. Your
flock of lambs is more valuable without
them. Like all young and growing
stock, the lamb must have the best of
care and attention from the time il is
dropped until it is one year old, if YOU
expect TO make it a profit Our good
results have an come from lambs under
these conditions.
Proper feeding Is a matter Of particu-
lar moment. Sheep are peculiar as 20
their taste for food. They will not eat
what does not suit them. and, if their
likes and dislikos are not humored. will
lose in flesh rapidly. Our most success
fui sheep breeders in New England and
the middle wool growing states advocate
feeding sheep three times daily, but only
as much as they Will eat up clean. Too
liberal feeding is q mistaken kindness,

Dr. G.. c.. Caldwells estimation of the
value of oat straw at Il per cent of that
of average meadow hay and wheats,raw
at 90 per cent furnishes am answer TO
the question, Why is 10 that sheep winter
well ON straw. An authority in such
matters explains that as straw is usually
lod more freely than hay. the animals
make up in quantity what it lacks i'm
quality. Besides cheapnoss, straw has
also this TO recommend it.. That hay
tends TO constipation of the bowels and
straw does not. Animals free from con-
.ipaion do better on the same amount
of food than those afflicted with that
maiady. By noticing the difference in
the consistency of the droppings of straw
fed and hay fed sheep one can readily
tell that straw keeps the bowels IN better
condition, and while sheep SO fed d0wen.
il is evident Chat straw is the preferable
sheep fodder In this way wiutermg
sheep is reduced to minimum.

A COW stall with a manure drop en-
