FOR SHEEP RAIsERs.
How Long Can Ewes and Lambs BE Kept
to Advantage?

How Long Can Ewes and Lambs BE Kept
to Advantage
As with all other stock much depends
lpon the growth made, the kind Of
sheep and the conditions under which
hey are kept. Generally the safest
ruIe TO follow is To market when the
sheep have reached their full CONNER
eial value That is, whenever a sheep
win sell at the highest price then is
when il should be sold But with this,
as with all rules regarding tire manage
ment Of stock on the farm, there must
be exceptions. and with sheep a good
breeding animal can often be kept un-
til they are ten or twelve years old If
kept TO maturity they can, in very
many cases, be kept until they are five
years old, especially the ewes. if they
are good breeders. Wethers, unless
they are exceptionally good ones, can
generally be marketed when they are
three.
With sheep that are raised more es-
pecially for market it is often the case
that they can be marketed to a better
advantage as lambs than as matured
sheep, and especially SO when they can
be made ready for market reasonably
early. When only a certain number of
sheep can be kept on the farm with
profit, and the surplus is to be market
ed, the market value should determine
when it is best to sell. Whenever the
most clean profit can be realized is the
time to let go. With sheep raising as
with nearly or quite all other farm

PROTECT THE ROOFS.
Sensible Suggestions Concerning Shingles
and Their Proper Use.

sensible suggestions Concerning shingles
and Their Proper Use.
It is a matter of no small expense to
keep the roofs of farm buildings in
sound and tight condition. Want of
proper selection of shingles, Of prop or
care in laying them. and in protecting
them from the wca her. are responsible
for much of the cost which often seems
a burden. The saying that what is
worth doing at all is worth doing we'll,
is eminently true of the selection, lay
ing and care Of shingles In the first
place. il is faD. economy 10 buy, or
have made from the product Of ones
own wood lot shingles Of inferior
quality, full Of sap, or Of a coarse,
porous, or shaIly nature, which permits
water to enter the grain, soon ending
its usefulness.
Roofs soon become almost worthless
through carelessness in laying the
shingles, joints not being properly
broken" and water thus let in 70
cause rapid decay. Another point is
that an unprotected shingle, even q
good one, severely exposed as it is to
the action of the weather has vastly
less durability than it would have if
covered with some moisture proof ma
terial Even a cheap quality of paint
will prove great protection. If paint
is thought to be loo costly, there are
often materials to be had that will well
repay applying TO the newly-laid
shingles, or to use as a dip before they
are laid. Tar crude petroleum white
