If a lamb has been on the down grade
while still on the pasture, with freedom
and fresh air. how much worse Il i
likely to be when brought into flock
and penned up, breathing the fetid sir
OF crowded sheephouse, writes the ed
itor of the Sheep Breeder. An unlimited
supply of fresh air will work wonders IN
keeping sheep up and enabling it to
make head against disease; but foul air
and the insufficient nourishment, which
results from its being crowded aside by
stronger sheep, will carry it down rapid
| ly unless it is separated and given an
extra chance with others of its sort.
Half-bred males looking like the full
bred father seldom transmit ar ythingoi
the parent stock to their offspring except
the color and shape. If the butter.
making or milk producing qualities are
reproduced, it will usually be in come
animal that does not look like the thor
oughbred stock. The desired quality
will more frequently reappear in the
third generation, which accounts for the
occasional Improvements in dairy stock
from using grade bulls, but it does not
come soon enough or often enough to
make it profitable to use them, when
thorougbbreds can be bought as cheaply
as they can now.
Prof. Wood of Storr's station, Conn.,,
says: "Nearly one-fourth OF the dairy
cows are kept at loss, while one-third
are kept without profit. This makes
one-third of the money invested dead
capital. In the winter with the best
cows and good feeding about two-thlrds
of the food is consumed in supporting
life. The profit comes from the other
third. Breed is important in COW, but
is not everything. With good feeding q
slight profit is received. Add one-eightin
more and the profit is doubled. judi,
cious feeding does not shorten the lie Oh
COW. Give a variety Of food. Legu.
minous foods, as peas, clover, ETC., not
only benefit cattle, but the land"
A feed that tends mainly to making
fat is unsuited for breeding soows at any
time. During the period OF geslalUa
the f9tus gets its nourishment from lns
dam, and is dependent upon the leea
she takes. 1t should be mainly Oh .ne
