SHEEP ON THE FARM.
cause oz Their FOndness for
Young Sprouts and Weeds.

The sheep Is among the most use
fui ana valuable Of domestic animals,
being producer OF wool used for
clothing and other purposes, and of
wdboles ONE meat But the sheep also
is of large value on the farm because
Of his fondness for young sprouts and
weeds.
According to an authority there are
nearly 600 varieties Of known weeds,
of which sheep will eat SIS kinds, while
horses cattle and hogs will eat but
fev varieties. It is apparent that
every farmer could well afford to raise
a few sheep II for no purpose other
than the destruction of weeds.
Weeds Increase in numbers and va
Tiet3ss as the country grows older.
They are found most abundantly In
the old countries Of Europe. Their
steady increase in this country de-
mands that farmers should raise sheep
as among other means looking to
their determination.
By all means get two or three ewes
aiready bred and give them the run
of that foul pasture. Increase the
flock by breeding and purchase if ad-
visable, until the number is sufficient
TO keep down the weeds on a given
area.
No farm is properly equipped with
out sheep.-Farmers' Voice.

until the hens have had run outside,
and as result their eggs will hatch
better.
In connection with the second meth
cd unless the farmer has brooding
house, which permits of his being IN
dependent of outside temperature, he
will have to content himself with in
cubator and outside breoder. His out
side brooder is placed on the rapidly
growing grass, and with proper care
and food the young chicks will be found
to make famous progress.
At the experimental farms when the
hens became broody they were set in
wooden boxes placed in vacant pens in
a house. The wooden nest boxes con-
tanned no bottoms and had hinged
door In front. The nests were made
of dry lawn clippings, which were
found to answer the purpose much bet
ter than cut straw. Grain, grit and
drink water were constantly before
the sitters. On being made, the nests
were thoroughly busted with disin-
fecttng powder, and SO were the sitters
before being put on the nests. 1t was
found beneficial to place two or three
china eggs In the nests as arranged

and allow the broody hens to sit on
them for a day OF two. The sitters
having proved reliable, the china eggs
were removed and replaced by the val
liable ones. In the morning the doors
Of the nest boxes, which had been
closed from the previous day, were
opened and the sitters allowed oppor-
tunity to get out for food, water and
short run. In early spring, when
the weather Is likely to be cold, the
sitter should return to her nest inside
of ten minutes. The foregoing details
are all important in the successful
Matching of chickens by hens.
Late April and May hen-hatched
chickens did the better at the Cana
dian farms. In the case of hen-ha tched
chickens the latter were permitted to
remain in their nest for "a to SO hours
when, with the mother hen, they were
placed in Slated coop on the grass
outside. The coop was so arranged that
it could be securely closed at night.
while ventilation was secured.
Through the Stats the chicks could
run on the grass outside, while the
hen remained inside. On the floor of
the coop was sand to the depth of two
inches On taking the mother hen
from her nest she was given food and
water. She would be more likely TO
brood the chicks oontentedly after be-
ing fed than if hungry OF thirsty. How
important it Is to have early chicks
carefully brooded Is well known to all
experienced breeders. The rations
adopted werestale bread crumbs, fol-
lowed by stale bread soaked in milk
and squeezed dry; this for day or
two. Crushed corn was not given I'M
til after eight days. and whole wheat
was not fed until the twelfth or four
teenth day. AS the chicks grew,
mash composed Of shorts. corn meal,
stale bread and small quantity of
prepared meal was mixed with boiling
skim milk, allowed to cool, and was
given three OF four times per day. Milk
and water were both furnished for
drink,

at the other only three feet. Across
each end Of the rectangle an eight-inch

which has been collected from the
