Feeding Range Lambs.

A man who has had considerable ex-
perience in feeding range lambs for the
mutton market is quoted in the Denver
Field and Farm as saying that the cor
rails should be arranged to hold about
400 each. They should be four times as
long as wide, with the feed racks along
each side, the corral fence forming one
of the feed racks SO arranged. Allow
plenty Of room for exercise and no more.
If possible. have watering place at one
end of each corral and always keep
plenty of good stock salt near the water
The erroneous idea that sheep fed on
alfalfa hay need little water or salt
should not be entertained by any one
who hopes to receive profit from feed
ing mutton sheep.
The authority quoted advises when
making the feed racks to observe these
rules: Make the racks or boxes about
30 inches wide and feet high. Posts
for these should be about feet apart,
and the boards nailed on horizontally
The first or bottom board should be 8
inches wide and placed about inches
from the ground. The next one of any
width should be placed, for feeding
lambs, inches above the first, for old
sheep to II inches above. A pole or
board above the second one will answer
to keep the hay in. Never drive the feed
wagon i'll the feed yards if it can be
avoided. Allow one linear foot for eacl.
grown sheep and or 9 inches for lambs.

Of . hotbed, though a matter Of general
garden information, is not we'll under
stood by most farmers it may not be out
of place to give at this time these direc-
tions regarding their construction from
the Denver Field and Farm:
The most important item of expense
will be the sashes. While single frame
of two sashes can be made to serve a
very useful purpose as a hQtbed, four
more sashes to accompany these as cold
frames would answer a very much bet
ter purpose, and many large families
once accustomed to such gardening,
would find dozen sashes part of their
equipment that they would not again do

Double strength glass of A grade will

the long run, as it does not break as
readily ~ the lighter and cheaper
grades. Pine stock ~ inches thick

OF water from above. Through the mid

venting spreading and the sagging of

from slipping down and then we'll put

last enough longer than q cheaply made
one to we'll repay the extra cost. The
frames to support the sashes may be made

to suit the demand
A good movable frame is made Of one

This gives . slope of eight inches to the
south for the sashes. The sides should be
made the thickness of the sash higher
than the front and back, wit cleat on
each side flush with the front and back,
o. Which the sash will rest. A four
inch piece Of board through the middle
OF the frame, where the sashes meet, ia
dOvetailed into the front and back SO
that it can be readily removed for filling
or wing and then be put in place as
Aide for the sashes to move upon. A four
inch strip should be nailed across the
back from side to side and even with
the top Of the sides of the frame. A
row of frames may be built
