SOMblNAIlON HAY AND GRAIN FEED
RACK.
strip two and one-half inches wide along
the front. This l fad very convenient
for lambs as well as for old sheep, yet
lambs should have the benefit of a
'creep" and feed corner for them
selves. The opening at the top of the
rack is two feet wide and the width at
bottom one foot.
When such racks are exposed to the
weather they should always be covered
and have folding doors in the roof for
the admission of fodder. In filling the
rack with fresh hay or in emptying it
of refuse it would be well if possible to
back the sheep or remove them into an
other compartment till the work is
completed; otherwise a careless attend
ant will invariably allow chaff and dirt
to settle on the fleece. Ihave tried racks
with three and three and one-half inch
spaces for the sheep to feed from, but
have found none so satisfactory as
where the distance is but two and one
half inches between the Stats. When
you consider that the feed openings are
only twelve inches in height and from
there boarded to the top it is almost i'm
possible for dirt to lodge on the wool.
have sheep so fed during the last win
ter and to-day their wool is spotless
Owing to the convenient height of the
rack the shepherd should turn over the
unconsumed hay at least once a day.
This induces the sheep to eat and adds
freshness to the fodder blown on.
When it is picked over remove the stale
feed and replace it by fresh, taking the
utmost care that the Sleeps backs do
not get soiled.
Rather than be subjected to the re-
proach of being a careless wool-grower
it would be we'll for the owner at shear
ing time to spread every fleece on a
table, turning the shorn side down
ward; then remove by hand all ex-
traneous substances, such as burrs,
hay, dung, etc. never forgetting to
throw aside all kenny and matted
parts. This done each side of the fleece
ought to be folded over toward the mid
die. The neck is then folded toward
the breech and the breech toward the
neck. Now handle the fleece carefully;
place it compactly in the fleece press,
tie and lay it aside in thorough good
fashion, and let every bale or wool
sack receive temporary mark to indi-
cate the description of wool it contains.

FOR SHEEP RAISERS.

How to Build Combination Hay and
Grain Feed Rack.
The rack have had made is ten feet
long, although it need not necessarily
be so. l make it ten feet as it suits the
dividing of the burlington sheep pens.
Yards divided by combination hay
and feed rack are very convenient.
Suppose the pens are thirteen feet in
width. as they are at burlington, in adj
dition to the rack you can have a three
foot gate between the rack and wall to
admit of passageway from fold to fold,
either for yourself or sheep.
The rack is set on blocks one foot
from the ground, but would much pre-
fer wheels. The measurement from
top of block to top of rack is thirty
Inches. The rack is boarded downward
from the top eighteen inches; the re-
naming twelve inches is divided by
Stats into two and one-half inch spaces
for the sheep to extract the hay. The
Stats are simply strong plaster laths;
fence boards one inch thick complete
the rest of the work. 1t is wise to
round the sharp corners of the lath SO
as to prevent the sheep when feeding
from disfiguring their side whiskers,"
which our charming Downs are apt to
do; indeed, the correct system would be
to have smooth revolving rollers instead
Of permanent fixed stats.
Attached to the rack is feed trough,
making it a combined hay and grain
feeder. The grain trough on both sides
Of the rack is on level with the blocks,
standing ten inches from the ground.
The trough is eight inches wide, with
