A Few sheep wrinkles.


Old, broken-mouthed ewes are dear at
any price. If they cannot be sold to the
butcher feed them to the crows in the
fall-they will get them anyhow before
''the voice of the turtle is heard in the
land" &
All sheep are subject to both internal
and external parasites. Feed them oc-
casionally q little hardwood ashes or
finely pulverized tobacco, which will free
them from worms and improve their gen.
eral health.
Dip them thoroughly in some approved
sheep dip, and there is nothing better than
a preparation of tobacco.
Do not overstock; better keep too few,
rather than too many. II q flock Of 100
sheep could be made as profitable as a
flock of ten, shepherds would BE ''clothed
in purple and fine linen"
Mix a little sulphur with their salt; il
enriches the blood, and disagrees with
ticks and other parasites.
Mark those ewes that have disap.
pointed you; don't be fooled twice by the
same sheep.
Keep well-trained Scotch terrier in
the sheep barn; he will clean up the rats
and give notice Of the approach Of prowling
ours or thieving tramps. The sheep will
soon become familiar with his presence,
and he may run between their legs OF
'ver their backs without exciting them
In the slightest. sa
Give mixed feed, and always remember
that oats should constitute q part of the
food Of the 'golden hoof." If you are
feeding o mixture Of equal parts Of corn
meal, ground oats, and wheat bran, and
forget to exchange it for something else
every thirty days, as the books direct,
don't be alarmed, the sheep won't be in
suited.
II you are giving it to them as q warm
slop, one pint of grain each, there times q
day, stirred into enough warm water to
make 1t into o thin mush, the lambs will
dance and the ewes cry out for Joy every
time they hear, the rattle Of your pals.
Fowls Of any kind are q nuisance about
the sheep barn, and should be carefully
excluded. ..- a4
Examine carefully every ewes uddei
before deciding to retain her as mem.
Der Of your breeding flock. II You find
one side spoiled, reject her.
After weaning lambs, milk the ewes
twice o week and keep them on the
shortest pasture until dry.
Any breed of sheepis goodif they have

are neglected. ~ AYnericaa Wool Groacer.

breeding from Mature Animals.


One law Of breeding not often thought
of is that to breed from very young ami
mails tends to impair vigor, not only in
themselves but in their progeny as well.
Yet in some kinds Of animals vigor Of
constitution must be subordinated, else
the wild Texan steer would be deemed
superior to the Holstein, Jersey or Guern-
sey, where milk and butter are more Inn
portant than size, beauty or vigor. It is
quite probable that the smaller size Of
Channel Island cattle comes from breed
ing very early, thus turning The digest
i've organs early towards making milk
and butter, rather than to building up q
large frame or laying much fat on it.
The argument is often made that sows
should not be set to breeding early, be-
cause their pigs are fewer and less vigor-
GUS when the sow is young than when
she has attained full growth. Yet the
early stimulation of milk glands is likely
to make the early bred sow better
milker than one bred only after she has
attained full growth. She is likely to be
more careful mother. Perhaps in such
cases the best rule is to combine both
methods. Breed the SOW young and fat
ten all her pigs early. When she attains
full growth and her pigs are most vigor-
Gus, save the pigs for breeders, thus saw
ing in the offspring both the qualities
that are of greatest value in pigs for
breeding,

In the foregoing we have attempted
only to give few of the essential steps
in the process, without assuming to give
minor details which can only be learned
in the school Of experience. No two
practical cheese makers, In writing upon
the subject, would agree as to even the
essentials, and no two follow exactly the
same line throughout. That is the reason
there is such q wide difference in the
product.
After the cheese is turned out Of the
