lambing time the herder OF owner
should remain with the band day and
night. eternal vigilance is the price
Of lambs, as well as Of the full grown
sheep.

The ewes should be served by the
rams during December so that lambs
will come about June. This is a most
important matter and personal attention
should be given to it by the flock master
in not allowing excess and exhaustion
by the rams. Overwork means barren
ewes and loss of lambs. See that the
duty is performed during the day, and
keep rams and ewes separated during the
night. for both should sleep. Thirty
ewes are about all any ram should serve
in one season. Both should be in good
condition, otherwise weakly progeny will
result. During this season they should
not be needlessly handled or driven.
Peace, quietness and kindness will tend
to produce docile lambs. It is not a
good plan to allow the two to run to-
gether, for the rams become ugly and
fight each other, and buck the ewes,
often to their injury. Make q study of
the business of breeding if you desire
success. A haphazard way of doing this
will not pay.

Thousands of sheep for breeding pur.
poses have been already imported from
Montana. No doubt some ewes are too
old for this use. On this account some
disappointment will result. A pro1ni-
nent stock raiser of the Mouse River
country states that band of 1000 ewes
was brought into tie Mouse river yal:

covered when it was too late that they
had no teeth wherewith to gather their
food. An experienced flock master
would have discovered this before pur-
chasing.
Avoid too mucn green food, and ex-
cept with old wethers or ewes being

For winter fodder oat straw is esti-
mated at IS per cent. and wheat straw
at 70 per cent. of average meadow hay,
Straw is less constipating than hay.
Flax straw mixed with hay makes a
good feed but alone is apt to act as
physic. In feeding, good ration is
what the animal will eat up clean.
Give them o change Of feed, if posi-
bic, every week. by varying from hay
tt. corn fudder, then millet and straw,
ETC., as you can. This will keep their
bowels regular and make good flesh and
wool.
They should have roomy, well ven
tilated sheds for shelter from storms.
The shelter may be left open on the
south side, Observe cleanliness under
foot.
Never let them be exposed to storms,
or, if possible, become chilled by cold
rains. Nature has provided sheep pro-
lection against ordinary cold.
it takes some time for wet wool to
dry, and in the meantime the sheep suf-
fers. if they do not take cold. They can
stand a good deal Of water. but it should
be inside and not outside. A soaking
rain washes the dirt down to the skin
and gives the wool dingy appearance.
In fine weather at all seasons they
should be kept during the day on the
range. This is as necessary for health
full exercise as the purpose of securing
food. Plenty of air is one Of the essen.

Develop.

develop.
The chamber of commerce permanent
exhibit presents handsomer appear
ance now than at almost any previous
time. The variety of the exhibits is
something remarkable, and the good
taste displayed in the arrangement of
the articles is something the citizens of
Los Angeles should congratulate them
selves upon. Every article, curious,
beautiful or interesting, is ticketed in
such a manner as to at once satisfy the
curious spectator who wants to know it's
nature and origin. The one possible
exception to this rule is the show. case
marked fruit leather" In this case
are strips and squares of what really
does look like thick, undressed leather
of various shades, with the curious
property of appearing semi-transparent.
Visitors standing beside this case sell
dom seem to suspect that this is new
form OF dried fruit, and comments and
questions regarding this exhibit can be
heard in every group OF spectators gath
cred about the showcase.
1t may be interesting to know that
fruit leather is made by running very
ripe fruit through a fine colander or
sieve, and then drying the pulpy mass
resulting in thin sheets. The product
is very nice and convenient form of
dried fruit, which can be used by house,
wives in a variety of ways in cooking,
and has already given rise to a number
OF new and palatable dishes in the re-
gion where it is manufactured. Further
more, fruit leather is strictly Southern
California invention, and opens up a
new field for California fruit growers to
operate in. 1t is intended to retail for
about 15 cents a pound, cheap rate,
when the fact is considered that there
is no waste in the way of skins or un-
usable portions OF the material.

Top Dressing Grass Lands.

A trial was made of spreading manure
upon the ground late in the fall, also of
leaving 1t III small heaps on the land in
the fall and spreading it early in the
spring. A third trial was made of haul
ing the manure and spreading the last
of April just before the grass started.
The manure was spread as evenly as
possible and bush narrowed The best
result was from the land on which the
manure was spread the last of April.
The poorest result was from the manure
left III heaps over winter and spread in
the spring.
Not realizing satisfactory returns from
either of these experiments. a portion of
my land was planted two years to fodder
corn. The spring following the same
quantity OF manure Is used in top dress
ing was spread and plowed under and
the land laid down to grass With the
grass seed wds sown a sufficient quantity
OF oats Ia smother the weeds the first
season. The resule was that the crop of
oats and grass the lirst year was of more
value than the best crop of grass realized
from top dressing. Ii continued to be of
much better quality and quantity in the
four succeeding years.
Another experiment for producing
grass WAS made upon land broken mp in
August. The manure was spread upon
the sod. thoroughly narrowed under and
the land laid down to grass. The result
OF this experiment was fully as satisfac-
tory in quantity and quality of grass as
from the land planted two years to fod-
der corn and then laid down to grass.
These experiments, which have been con-
Quoted through series of ten years,
lead to the conclusion that there is much
