THE WEAVING PERIOD FOR LAMBS.

Some imagine that the weaning pro.
cess is very simple one. Well, IN
sense it is, but in another sense it is
not. Weaving lambs does not simply
mean taking them away from The dems.
1t means that the ewes shall be prop
erly dried without injury to the nd.
der, and that they shall then be put in
fair way OF improvement, whether
they are to be sold Off or kept for
further breeding. And il means that
the lambs shall be so managed that
the weaving period will not prove to
them period Of stagnation.
The season of the year at which they
are to be weaned will depend entirely
upon the time nj which they come to
hand, and the use that is to be made
of them and the dams When lambs
come IN the autumn they will be ready
for weanIng before the ewes go out to
pasture early in the spring. When
they are born early In the spring they
will be ready for weaning in midsum.
mer, and when they are born late in
the spring they will not be ready TO
be weaned until tho early autumn.
Something, too, depends upon the way
In which they have been nursed. When
they have been well supplied with
milk they will stand to be weaned at
an earlier season than when the milk
has been short in supply. Az rule
the sucking period should extend
over from four to five months. Usu-
ally four and q half months is long
enough to suckle lambs.
When the weaving season arrives
the lambs should not only be separa.
ted from the ewes, but they should be
taken quite away from them. 1t would
not be wise, where it could be avoided
to put the lambs on one side OF fence
and the ewes OH the other, even
though they should not be ALE tc
break through to one another The
lambs would be more restless than if

dams, and the latter will dry up moro

The st. Paul Pioneer Press remarks: /:
While the farmers Of the Northwest
are deploring the advent OF the Rus.
sian thistle, q new forage plant, also
OF Russian origin, has made it's appear
snce, which promises to prove such O
blessing to farmers as to more than
atone for the damage done by it's
pestilent compatriot. It is known as
sacaline. II requires no cultivation.
Once planted, it propagates ts.self in
any soil, in dr., sandy, barren or in
wet, alluvial swamps. It stands the
drouth, for its roots strike deep. It
drinks in the rain, when there is any,
like camel loading up for a journey
through the desert. It is as nutritious
as any Of our grasses. It possesses q
combination of remarkable properties,
which adapt it wonderfully well for
the conditions existing in Minnesota,
and especially the Dakotas and beyond.
Onr impression is that tho Minnesota
agricultural college is trying il, or
has arranged to try it on the State
experimental farm.

will not depart from it.
If trees are taken from the forest

they should be boxed to keep off the

Young chickens may be allowed tho

Here is A. 81. Huyck's way Of de.
horning calves without saw: An
ounce of caustic potash, costing fifteen
cents, will'dehorn fifty. Wet the horn
button and rub with the caustic for
half minute any time before the calf
is nine days old. Be sure not to ges
much on the skin.
A tame flock il usually q prolific
one, and it should be the aim Of every
poultry keeper never to frighten thems
a scared hen cannot do her best any
more than scared COW. This is ap-
plicable to every fowl or animal you
may keep; always win their confid-
ence by good treatment; You then
have gained very decided advan tags
in their management
Trees are usually planted 30 close
that symmetrical growth is impossible.
They are planted thick with the idea
that a more dense shade will thus be
secured, but the object sought is de-
feated by thick planting. The most
dense shade lie afforded by trees which
have sufficient space to branch natur-
ally and thus form a thick canopy of
