FEMININE DAIRY WISDOM.

FEMlNlNE DAIRY WlSOO M
Take an account of the feed you
have to winter your stock and do mo-
feed any one thing all up at once,
Grind the corn and oats and mix will
wheat bran.
The abundant crops of grain and the
low the prices will make it possible
for dairymen to wihter the COWS more
proftably than many suppose.
Handle the manure so that the ferti-
lizing material does not waste and thus
save for the commercial fertilizer next
spring.
A good dairyman and a good corn
raiser 60 together. By feeding grain
with the coarse fodder and carefully
applying the manure to the corn field
and meadow, you will be sure of an
increased crop next year. And that
means more bntter, more growth,
more profit. What more do you want?
Study your condition and improve
them every year. Give the COWS better
care this winter-be enthusiastic!
Don't put the cows in dingy, dirty
stable they were in last year with all
the old smells. Clean it with soap and
water, brush down the cobwebs and
dust and wash the windows and white
wash. Lei in the blessed sunshine.
Feed with perfect regularity, and
don't employ rough, noisy, unframed
man or boy, even il he will work for
his board. You will lose money every
day by tolerating such attendants.
Don't see how many ows you can
keep but see how much you can make
each COW produce. If you have been
keeping ten coWs-wiLh Indifferent
success-try keeping FIVE, and by ex-
ira care and feed make them produce
as much or more than The ten. It can
be done in almost every case where
there has been no enthusiasm and
things have been drifting in the old
hum, half hearted way.
Be careful when feeding hay that
the hay seed ioes not shake out on the
backs Of the sheep. 1t not only hurts
the looks of the wool but Injuries the
quality.
If your sheep are poor in flesh, ticks
may be the cause Of it.
Let the sheep out in the barnyard on
warm, sunny days in the middle of the
day. Never leave them out in a storm.
There is no use in trying to force
sheep to eat in dirty or musty places.
They would starve before they would do
it. They must have pure water in q
clean trough,
30 not change breeds every year or
two. Select your best ewes IL you
have common flock and breed them
to thoroughbred sire and save the
best eve lambs. Gradually dispose of
the old ones and in few years you
will have a fine, high grade flock.
Keep the ewes in thriving condi-
tion all the time, and you will be sure
Of larger and mole healthy lambs.

American farmer should keep sheep.
