EFFECT OF FEED ON THE GROWTH OF WOOL.
Many observing sheep raisers have
long since noticed the difference in
the character of wool as influenced by
the feed of the sheep. One such far
mer, more than twenty years ago,
made an interesting statement to the
writer of some experiments he had
been trying with sheep by giving or
withholding certain provender rations
for a period of four weeks each, and
he stated that the periods of giving
and leaving off the grain ration could
be detected IN the size of the wool
fibers-they were large and strong
during the growth of the month when
grain was fed, and weak and small for
the period when grain was not fed
this difference being plainly notice
able to the naked eye. The late DR..
Henry S. Randall mentions this pecul-
iarity in one of his works on sheep
husbandry. He says that change in
feed or conditions "correspondingly
changes the diameter of the same fiber
during different stages of its growth
the difference being sometimes visible
to the naked eye." He further states
when the change in food has been
marked, or when a change takes place
from low to healthy condition of
the animal, it generally occasions a
joint in the wool, or in other words
the point in the fibers where the change
began is SO weak that slight pull will
detach the two parts. and in fact,
they often separate on the back of
being shed off-an occurrence not
infrequent in sheep that recover
from illness or low condition. Ex-
periments made at the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station add much to our
knowledge upon this interesting fact.
Three lots of lambs were fed grain
ration both before and after weaving,
in comparison with those fed no grain,
or fed only for limited periods.
Lambs that were fed grain from birth
sheared an average of 10.1 pounds,
while those not receiving grain ra-
tion until the period of fall fattening
sheared an average of seven pounds
per head. Taking the average of three
trials, the lambs receiving grain from
birth averaged nine pounds of wool;
those receiving it from the period of
weaving averaged IL pounds, and
those not receiving any until winter
fattening commenced averaged 6.S
pounds per head. The average of the
three trials showed that the length of
the wool fiber from lambs fed grain
continuously was As inches, while
that from the lambs which did not re-
ceive grain previous to she'd feedin g
in the winter was but 81 inches. At
every stage of the experiment it was
an easy matter to select by the eye
the lambs that received grain before
and after weaving. The feeces of
those fed grain were dense and smooth
in appearance, while those of the
lambs having had no grain were al
ways open and rough, lacking in fin
ish. This smooth and uniform APP
pearance of the fleece of the grain-fed
lambs was due to the greater density
of the wool as we'll as to the greater
amount of oil or yolk that was present
in the fleece. e.-American Agriculturist.

FEEDING FOWLS.

1t may be thought to be matter of
very little importance whether the
Cock is fed at certain hour or not,
but it is really necessary for the good
health of the flock that they be fed at
regular hours as nearly as possible. If
they are fed at stated periods each day
they will soon learn to look for their
feed at that time, and the remaindar
of the time they will forage. If fed
just when it happens to be most con-
venient, the most indolent of the
flock will linger around waiting to be
fed while the active ones will wander
away, very often SO far that by the
time they get back those who have
stayed at home will have eaten all the
feed that was intended for the whole
flock. Fowls should not be fed more
at one time than they will eat up clean
and look for more. One who pays any
attention to the matter will soon learn
about how much the flock will eat and
not be hungry. This may be told by
paying some attention to the condi-
ton of the fowls as to flesh. They
buOulO uOU lcCtl ldu NACh plChCA up,
but should be just nicely plump and
round, and if they begin to gain in
flesh or fall off, as the case may be,
the amount of feed given them should
be regulated accordingly. Feeding on
the free and easy plan is poor econ
omy, and will in the end ruin the lay
ing qualities of any flock, for it will
induce disease, and the very first
symptoms of disease in any flock is
the decrease in egg production; that
always comes with the lowering of the
health of laying hens. Feed plenty,
but not too much. This is matter
that is very la1 gely neglected by farm
ers and all who do not pay particular
attention to their poultry. American

Leaving out Of consideration for the

accomplished as well If the street had

In this manner the same siding could have
