Winter Grain After Pntatoea.

it makes the very best seed bed, accord

the potato vines in heaps and burn
them, starting the fire in brush heap.

While at pasture the sheep should
have access to salt A flock will visit
the sailing place twice day regularly
Salt is a good tonic and prevents in
digestion, which produces destructive
diarrhea, all the worse when the
weather is warm.
The sheep should be clipped clean
about the hind parts, lest filth may
gather and attract the blowfies A
mixture of glycerine and fish oil in
equal parts is excellent to smear those
parts of the sheep as a preventive.
Never force the sheep to jump over
bars or fences half let down. Their
weak shin bones may be snapped like a
glass rod by catching between the rails.
ana the protein is the nutritive ratio
1t will be seen by the above table that
bran and shorts have narrower nu-
tritive ratio than barley, or, in Other
words, the bran and shorts contain 8
larger proportion of digestible muscle
forming food than barley.
In feeding test of bran and shorts,
mixed in equal parts by weight. against
oats as a grain feed for horses and
mules we have found at this station
that the bran and shorts give nearly al
good results as oats, pound for pound
Oats are considered the ideal grain feet
for horses.
With the prices quoted I would moi
hesitate to recommend the use of mix
ture of bran and shorts, equal parts by
weight, in preference to barley as grair
feed for work horses ! should prefer
feeding this mixture in preference t.
feeding either bran or shorts alone
The bran alone would be likely to prove
too laxative in its effect on the bowels
while shorts alone would not be bulky
or rough enough in their nature. -Da

is accepted that mobalr can now be pro-
duced in Cape Colony as perfect in
quality and as beautiful in luster as
any produced in Angora itself
The goat itself is rather pretty
little animal, looking, with its long,
white, wavy fleece, more like sheep
than goat. The beard, too, SO charac-
teristic of the goat, is almost hidden il
the long hair about the neck and face
The head is small and narrow, with
dropping or tlop" ears. Horns-light
in color, fattened, twisted slightly and
spreading outward-are possessed by
both rams and ewes. though they are
smaller in the latter. The small body
is thickly covered with beautiful, long
fleece of white, lustrous, wavy, silky
hair, which in well bred goats nearly
reaches the ground, and, in addition to
this long hair, there is an inferior un
dercoat of hair, or second coat, which
has its own separate market value.
Almost every farmer in Karoo has
his flock of Angoras, some several focks
of several hundreds in each. Every
morning the fioeks are driven out of
the kraals, or sheltered Enclosures, into
the veldt. where they are allowed to
wander and Craze all day, but at night
they are driven back to the shelter of
the kraal after being watered.
Angoras are sheared about June,
when good fleece will average from
five to six pounds in weight, with hair
from four to six inches long. About No
vember the goats tend to shed their
hair, but rather than lose it the farmer
again shears III October. After shearing
the wool is packed into large bales,
which are fastened securely with iron
bands. 1t is then exported to England
for manufacture, large part going IA
Yorkshire. LII 1895 mohair to the valR'
OF G710, 867 was exported, and at the
present time one-tenth of the total
British supply is received from the
cape.
Among the most dreaded foes of the
timid little Angora are the jaekal, the
red lynx and the baboon. The two for
mer kill the kids for their flesh, but the
balloons rip open the udders of the ewes
in search of milk and even open the
stomachs of the kids for the sake of the
curdled milk they may contain. The
first two animals are poisoned and
hunted down with dogs where possible,
and to keep down the balloons shooting
parties are frequently organized. By
way of encouraging the extinction of
these pests the government pays shil-
lings tail for jackals and shilling a
tail for balloons

gives the number of pounds of digesti-
BILE matter of the three different kinds
in 100 pounds of the grain or mill
stuff. These different constituents are
not of equal value, although all are
necessary for a good ration.
Protein, often called muscle forming
food, is the most expensive of the three
and SO the most valuable constituent in
ration. Carbohydrate or starchy mat
ter is the most plentiful of the three in
most of the common food stuffs and so
is the cheapest. Fat, or oil, is just what
its name indicates and is more con-

drate or starchy matter. The proper
tionate amount of these substances is
usually indicated by the nutritive ratio,
or the ratio existing between the pro-
tein or muscle forming material and
the carbohydrate and fat.
To obtain this ratio the fat is first
multiplied by az, which puts it on the
same basis of value as the carbohydrate.
The fat is then added to the carbohy-
drate, and the ratio between this sum
