CHARACTERISTICS OF SHEEP

Individuality in sheep is very distinctly
marked. There are good ones and bad
ones, quiet ones, and nervous, iidgety
ones, some that are always at the front,
and others that are always at the hind
end of the flock tagging along. There
are family traits of individual merit and
demcrit. By keeping a flock register 1t
was found there were ewes that never
raised their lambs with any uniformity,
if not from one cause, then another was
sure to take them Off. Another family
were apt to bring thin, weak lambs, but
they were always willing to live, and
some attention would bring to healthy,
vigorous sheephood. Still another fam
lily would bring great big, lusty-lookiug
lambs that seemed born to die, and dis
appoint all reasonable expectations.
Twins are characteristic of some fam
lies. There is also family resembiances
by which an expert SHEPPARD may readily
identify families and members Of fam
lilies. Colonel Mark Cockrell, of Ten
nessee, one of the most careful shephards,
could pick up an abandoned lamb and
identify its mother by the lamb.
Some sheep are strong in their likes
and dislikes, and will often display a
good deal OF cunning to carry a point.
Some are voracious eaters, and others
just the opposite. The individual char
acteristic incidental with breeds and va
reties is often very distinctly marked.
These characteristics are very interesting
to the student, and highly important to
cultivator Of sheep.-American Farmer.

THE CREAM GATHERER.

A most important man IN cream
collecting creamery Is the driver, says
the American Creamery. He must be
man of tact, intelligence and fidelity
upon his judgment often depends the
success of the business. He must be a
neat man, not one of those animated
patches OF grease and filth, but a man
who takes pride in keeping his cans
bright and his wagon clean. He must
have nose for good cream, be able to
tell instantly the presence Of faint. and
be backed with strict orders to refuse
everything loft favor Such man IS
worth good wages and can earn them.
Never trust boy to gather cream. If
We succeed in getting the cream prop
erly raised we want it well cared for IN
transit to the creamery, and not jounced
at breakneck speed over rough roads.
Cans are vastly preferable to tanks for
transporting cream. Each can should
be gradually filled from the start, al
though many drivers fill one can at a
time, and in hot weather bring three or
four cans of half churued cream TO be
mixed up with the balance IN the vat.
One creamery expert has recommended
putting a pound Of salt il the bottom OF
each can when starting out in the morn
ing. Alter commencing to fill the cans
stir the cream until the salt is dissolved
salt is refr!gerine, and cream will
keep in better shape if so treated A
blanket should be carried in hot
weather aud kept spread over the cans;
moisten it often and let the heat of the
sun work upon that rather than upon the
exposed cans.

CORN AND MILLEr coMpAREp.

Experiments have been made at tbs
Massachusetts, Hatch Station for the pur-
pose of comparing corn and millet as
grain crops on the basis of the yield.
Further experiments are in progress to
compare meal from millet seed and from
corn as food for mlch COWS.
For the present 1t is simply desired to
CAL attention to the fact that the millet
has enormous cropping capacity. 1t
gave to the half acre 81 bushels of seed
weighing AZ pounds to the bushel, while
the corn gave 1913 bushels Of shell grain.
The milet straw weighed 2.19l pounds;
the corn slower (by no means as dry,
, 100 pounds. The miliet straw chopped,
crushed, moistened and sprinkled with
meal is readily eaten by both horses and
cattle, but it does not appear to be equal
to the corn stover IN feeding value.
The millet seed, as shown by the re-
suits Of foreign analysis, appears to re-
semble oats very closely IN composition.
SO far as they have had experience in
feeding it at the station, the meal from
it appears to equal corn meal IN feeding
value for milk production. The fertil-
izers were the same for the two crops,
but the labor cost considerably more for
the millet than for the corn. The crop,
however, was Cultivated in drifts and
hand hoed and weeded, while in ordin-
ary farm practice it would be possible to
secure good crops by sowing broadcast
without cultivation aud thus BRING the
labor cost per acre as low az for corn.
1t does not thresh easily by hand, but on
large scale the work could doubtless he
done by machine at much lover cost.
The seed was sown in drills fourteen
inches apart, at the rate Of about two
quarts per acre. 1t was planted May Ia.

threshed October ) and New York

Two-TEAR-oLD HENS FOR BREEDERS.
There is no doubt but two.year-old
hens are preferable 10 yearling pu!lets for
breeding purposes, as the eggs OF the
hens are larger. The chicks coming
from hens eggs are likely to be stronger
and more apt to live. But hens two or
three years old will not lay 50 grcnA
number Of eggs as will pullets in the first
twelve months after they cDmmaace to
lay. If, however, one has choice lot
of we'll developei pullets AID IN At sd with
vigorous two year-oId cock, do not fear
20 set the eggs from them, but do not
use the earliest litters, a. they are not
likely TO give you Is strong chicks A. the
later ones.
The best laying hens, all things con-
siiered, are those one year old--fowls
that were hatched the previous season in
March or April-consequently the best
plan for all fowl breeders Is 10 raise
chickens every season 10 be the LAYERS of
| the next year, and To kill the old stock
| reCuarlT every fall before moulting or
as soon rs they cease To lay.
Among ou7 foremost breeders the mat
ing Of vigorous twelve months old pull
lets to good cock in his full second
year has given as gooi chicks on the
average as the mating OF -year-old
hens to young cock. Oae thing that
may be depended on as rule, the most
reliable breeding birds that can be mated
together as TO age are those of one sex
or the other that are year the oldest.
1t is only through repeated experiments
that the breeder can be able to select the
best pointed and finest specimens for
mating, and when this is accomplished
the most satisfactory results will gen
orally follow.-Counecticut Farmer.

VALUE OF APPLE POMACE.

The value OF apple pomace for feeding
cattle is such that 1t should not be wasted
as it has been. 1t IS easily kept sweet
By packing it down solid!y 10 barrels or
boxes, and it is eaten with avidity by
all the animals Of the farm. Cows es.
pecially desire it and it is good for them
The horses like it, and sheep, pigs, and
poultry are glad to get it. 1t is al aid
to digestion, and, while it may not
contain any great amount of nutriment,
it is as agreeable TO the live stock, al
though "tatteuing food"
We do not eat apples for the nutri-
ment they contain, and we may not
justly object to the pomace that it is not
tattening to the ANIMALS. They like it,
and if it does no special good it does no
harm. But it does some good, if only
indirectly, for when cows are fed a
peck of it, with meal sprinkled on it,
they will give more milk than if the
meal Is given without it. If there are
apples to spare, they may be saved for
the cows with advantage, aud a peck
given daily, sliced and with little
meal added, or alone, will return a
profit in the milk and butter. New

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Clean up for winter.
Get supply of sand and small gravel
before the pit freezes up-better get it
to-day.
Road dust makes better dust bath
than ashes. Have you a supply housed
for winter?
Do not crowd the pigs so that when
they are fed the weak will be trodden
upon By the strong.
If you want plenty of lard feel your
pigs on corn; if you desire meat ADD
growth feed other food.
It is stated tina: in a weil-bred hog 4
gain Of from ten to eleven pounds can be
made from a bushel Of corn.
Fowls roosting in trees had better be
brought down from their high position
and givea a place with those that roost
under cover.
There may be no warmth in coat OF
whitewash, but a hen house with south
window aud well whitenc / walls will be
more cheerful aud seem warmer than
dark AMI dingy one. Light is warmth
Do not forget the hens when you are
harvesting the cabbage crop. Bury some
Of the loose headed ones, that you are
throwing one side. for their special bene-
lit. They Will take care OF them, stump
and all, next winter.
If you have a yoodly stock of fowls do
not make special effort to feed all the
small potatoes 10 the hogs. Boiled,
mashed and mixed with shorts or oat-
meal, they make most excellent break
fast for fowls in winter il fed warm. )
