Ideal Feeders.

IT Is something Of a question as to.
how fat the ideal feeder should be
when bought, says John G. lexis in
The National Stockman-whether to
buy them fat and run them through
the winter on just sufficient grain to
keep them in order or to buy them thin
and try to fatten through the winter.
Something viii depend on the kind and
amount OF feed you have on hand.
With corn scarce and high. even
though hay be plentiful, you could not
expect to get sheep that were thin at
the beginning of winter ready for an
early market, while with plenty Of good
hay little grain will be needed to carry
"a fat sheep through the cold weather.
To my mind, at the present price OF
wool more money can be made out Of q
given amount Of feed by carrying rat
sheep through the winter than by at
tempting to fatten sheep that are thin
when they go to the feed lots. The
IDEAL feeder, however, is the sheep
that lacks the fat that can be put on
in the next six weeks. This increase
can be made at small cost, and your
sheep IS ready to go through the win
ter on the highest possible ration OF
grain.

estimated the population at 1900, 600,
but MI. Merriam, while hoping the
great statistician is correct, is Of opin-
ion that owing to the decrease in i'm

to 100000 is the utmost that can be
expected. This will be a gain Of oven

Any n may keep a small flock with
satisfactory success. Failures In the
keeping of sheep happen mostly, If
not invariably, In having too large q
flock to begin with, says The Sheep
Breeder. In the keeping Of sheep it is
most necessary to begin in a small
way. AS the infant crawls at first be-
fore it walks and walks before 1t runs,
SO with the keeper Of sheep, which Of
all the domestic animals are the most
difficult to keep successfully. Arith--
metic, too, does not count in the bust
ness Of the shepherd, for il one is able
to keep successfully a dozen sheep,
which any person OF common judg-
ment with a little knowledge or good
common may do, 1t does not fol-
low that he an keep with the am
success a hundred or a thousand, for
In all the arts appertaining to agricul-
ture and the keeping Of farm stock
there is no branch Of them SO difficult
to become proficient in as in the shep-
herds art.
The ram is now In the ascendant In
the consultations, and of course the
eve and the lambs go with the father
Of the flock. 1t is apt to be thought
that the sheep is too high In the scale
Of popular favor to make it safe for a
beginner to start in the business. This
Is one Of the common mistakes made
by those who wish to be-as the saying
goes-in the swim. Really this is the
very best time for one to get q flock,
a small Il to begin with. And every
prospect promises that the present con-
dition OF this industry will be lasting
and permanent, Population has ad.
