following recipe: One gallon of warm
water and TX lbs. of hard soap cut in
slices and dissolved in the water. Thor

until it makes a liquid resembling milk.
To each gallon of the mixture add
gals. of water. If this is used twice
during the year, once just after shear

no trouble from ticks. The sheep will
also keep in much better condition, on
less feed than they will if not dipped.

TO MAKE GOOD PORK.
Points Essential to Produce Fair Weigl
in Six Months.

Points Essential to Produce Fair Weight
in Six Months.
Close study and observation during
some years past led me to believe that
it is quite possible to produce pork of
the best quality at one-third less than
the average cost, and one-half what it
costs under the poorest management
In producing cheap pork, we also great
ly reduce the risk of loss from disease.
How can we reduce the cost of pork?
First, by reducing the time to produce
it. A thrifty, growthy pig that will
weigh two hundred pounds gross, and
which gives meat well marked with
lean is most desirable. This weight
can be obtained at six months, and
where butter dairy is run in connec-
ton with pig growing, considerable
greater weight is possible The points
essential to produce this weight at six
months are:

believer in roots for winter feeding of

4. The pig must be taught to eat as
early as possible, and provided with a
pen or apartment which the sows can
not enter, in which to feed them. They
will begin to eat regularly at four
weeks old, then they can be weaned
without losing anything. Bran is the
best food we have for developing bone

rhange Necessary for Flocks Whose We'll

The disposition of a sheep is one of
the main reasons for the peculiar man
agement required for the best interests
Of the flock. From time immemorlal
we have read of the wandering sheep
and its restless nature. And this we

desire for change IN the pasture. Con-

days they will begin to explore for ways
Of escape to other fields, and soon show
the effects of their restlessness and dis
satisfaction, in a falling off of condi-
ton. The experienced shepherd, there
fore, provides for this necessity by di-
viding the pasture by means of portable
fences, or removing the flock to another
field, where in a few days they begin to
show a desire to return to the former
pasture. Thus fresh fields and pas
lures new" are necessary for any flock
whose welfare is considered.
