some small potatoes with the ration
of corn. The source of the fatality
remained a mystery until began to
suspect the corn. Not the stalks, per-
haps, but the grains of corn chopped
up with the stalks. l believe now that
right there was the cause of my
trouble. So sure was | of this that |

scribed.
Perhaps should say that the lambs
did not have amy apparent bowel
trouble like diarrhoea. They were
hardly old enough for that when they
died.
In my Judgment, there is no better
grain for sheep than oats fed whole,
with now and then ration of bran.
This is strengthening, gives growth
to sheep and lambs, and keeps the
bowels in good condition. E. L. Vim

A GOOD BACON HOG.

The Cheshire is good sized, long
bodied white hog. Some people call
their heads long, others short. The
head in proportion to length of body
is as short as that of any breed.
When slaughtered for market the head
weighs less in proportion than that of
any other hog, as there is very little
meat on it. One specially good quail
ity of Cheshire is that it gives large
proportion of lean meat. Put Chesh-
ire and a pig of another breed in the
same pen, feed them in the same
trough, and when the two pigs are
butchered the Cheshire will have a
larger proportion of lean meat than
any other.
This makes them pre- eminently the
pig for market purposes. When
Cheshires are well known they bring
higher prices than other hogs. The
larger proportion of lean meat explains
the fact that, according to appear
ance, Cheshires when alive weigh
more than other hogs. An Indiana
stockman says: 81 find that buyers
are not able to guess the weight of
Cheshires. One lot of thirteen culls
l offered at 1876 pounds each. The
buyers thought they would not weigh
over 300. They averaged 800. An
other lot of twenty culls l offered at
100 pounds average. They weighed
1876. | have grown all kinds, and
when fed together Cheshire Whites,
Poland Chinas, Berkshires and Ohesh-
Tres, mixed in lots of twenty-five to
seventy live, the Cheshires outgrew
and outweighed all Others" The quail
ity of the flesh is most excellent. The
fat is firm The bones are small and
very hard. have often heard the re.
mark from onlookers at fairs, 81 dc
not see how such small bones hold NJ
such big hogs. -

PROFIT IN POULTRY.

"The Raleigh News and Observer"
asserts that the hen crop of this coun-
try brings more dollars and cents to
the people than the cotton crop, as it
requires little capital, and is depend
ent upon skill and industry chiefly for
its success that in certain parts of
North Carolina it has come to be
leading industry, and, instead of only
furnishing pin money, is now a mon
ely crop. These observations were in
spired by the statement that during
1900 DR.. c. L. Killebrew sold in Rocky
Mount more than fourteen hundred
dozen eggs, the surplus product of his
poultry yard, where he keeps more
than three hundred fowls. Poultry
may be raised in any part of the South,
and in many parts it may be more
than a contribution to the farm table.
Near the largest towns and cities, or
at points convenient to railroads and
steamboat lines, giving ready access
to larger markets. poultry raising
may be made paying business. 1t is
rather eXacting, to be sure; it de-
mands skill and patience, but properly
conducted it will pay.-Southern

ensilage is undesirable for beef cattle.
A number of times during the last
dozen years l have found it necessary
to employ stockmen for Purdue Uni
versity that were especially skilled as
feeders In every instance these men,
prior to coming to Purdue, had had
no experience i'll feeding silage to beef
cattle, and yet, as ] recall it, every
one of these feeders has learned to
appreciate and value silage as food
for the beef cattle, and some of these
men have said they would not like to
feed again without it. And these
were men raised in the beef feeding
camp.
In 1892 the writer conducted an ex-
pertinent at the Indiana station, feed
ing eight steers Of Shor5horn type, not
pure bred. These steers were divid-
ed into two lots of four each, and one
lot was fed on corn silage and the
other clover hay. The experiment
was brief, being only for six weeks,
but during these forty-two days the
steers fed silage gained 297 pounds, or
an average of l.15 pounds a head
each day, while those given clover
hay gained 234 pounds, or an average
of one and two-fifths pounds head
a day Each lot ate the same amount
and kind of grain, the difference be-
ing i'll the coarse foods. A study of
the cost of foods and the gains in
weight showed that silage fed steers
in fortytwo days gave profit of
$500, while those fed clover hay
gave profit of $16.76, balance in
favor of the silage lot of 50. 80. Pro
fessor @. S. Plumb in Farmers Guide.

CORN FOR BREEDING EWES.

Sheep are fond of corn, but should
we feed it to ewes due to yean next
spring? This is a question that has
troubled me some, and which has, 1
believe, cost me almost one whole
years increase of lambs. / never had
been in the habit of feeding sheep
corn, and did not at that time know
of any one who had. But, discover
ing that they were very fond of the
stalks cut up, with now and then an
ear of corn included, l was in the
habit of feeding at least one ration a
day, which they ate with avidity.
The sheep grew fat on the ratio and
looked fine. When spring came and
the lambs began to put in an appear
ance the trouble commenced. The
lambs were large and apparently
strong at birth. The sheep seemed to
do nicely after the lambs were born,
then, suddenly, when not more than a
day or perhaps even less old, the lambs
would sicken and die without appar-
ent cause. / remember one pair of
twins which came, They were nice,
large lambs. The mother owned
them. They got up all right, and at ten
O'Clock seemed perfectly well. Three
hours later one of them was dead and
the other soon died This was the
history of more than 80 per cent of the
lambs born that year,
This strange fatality disturbed me.
L looked into the surroundings care
fully. The stable which was used fol
the yeaning sheep was perfectly clean.
There was absolutely no source of in,

WHY ARE so MANY 4
les STANDING IDLE?

Not all for the same reason, certain
ly, but I shall name few. The first
and most effective cause appeared
many years ago, and, strange to say,
in many new dairy sections appears
yet, viz, the creamery shark "
Have you ever seen one? If not, you
are lucky so far. But beware of him,
or he may get at your pocketbook yet.
The fact is that today thousands Of
creameries containing so-called com
pleten up.to.date outfits for both
butter and cheese making are standing
idle all over the Union, Why? Be
cause the sugar tongued promoter"
or shark" succeeded in persuading
farmers and business men of a certain
locality that all they had to do was
to let them put up creamery fully
equipped and start it, for say 81, 600
(often So, 600 or So, 000). He himself
would take $1,000 stock to show his
good faith the rest was easily sub
scribed The farmers were very quick
to guarantee milk from a certain num-
Der of COWS, nothing being requested
as to amount and quality or price to
be paid the latter would depend upon
the market. The creamery is finish
ed; it has probably cost in all 80, 600,
and the "shark, " after paying his
1000, leaves with 81, 900 or more i'll
his pocket. This is besides good
wages for the time he has put in
"superintending" the building.
1t takes too much time to describe
the various ways the shark" works
his scheme, but l could give you sew
eral examples from what I have seen
myself. Once for all, make up your
mind never to go into any kind of
partnership with a promoter of whom
you know nothing except that he tries
to show you that you ought to have
a creamery and he wants to put it up
for you. Tell him to "git" at once
and waste no time Exchange.
