CARE OF SHEEP.

RacE, With Troughs, For Feeding
Grain. Hay or Cut siIage.
Sheep are peculiarly sensitive and
will quickly object to feed that has be-
come tainted by coming in contact
with their feet or droppipgs. This is
governed somewhat by the degree of
hunger, but no sheep will fatten upon
feed which it consumes reluctantly.
Hence, for best results, feed free from
all Objectionable taints should be pro-
vided. The too common practice Of
the rangeman of feeding his focks on
the ground is not to be commended.
For feeding hay or other roughage this
method may be partially successful in
arid or semiarid sections, but wherever
the ground becomes muddy or befouled
with the excrement Of animals it will
be found to be wasteful and unsatis-
factory. This system of feeding on
the ground precludes the use of such
food stuffs as oats and mill feed. 1t is
better plan to provide feed racks
with troughs attached. Equipped with
these, whenever an exigency arises the
flock can be economically fed any kind
Of grain or mill feed These racks can
be constructed cheaply, and many
styles of them are in use. The one rep

high a mulch Of manure was placed in
the Is inch space, and the blanching
boards were set up when the celery
was about one foot high, so that the
between the boards, thus boarding two
rows together, but keeping the boards
apart, so they would not cover the
plants until they had grown above the
boards, which were about Is inches
wide The field Of celery was irrigated
by pouring the water on the mulch of
manure between the rows with the
hose. The plants on part of the field
have grown more than three feet high,
and some Of them with roots on weigh
ed eight pounds.
l grow the White Plume and Golden
Self Blanching by this method, and the
large, well balanced punches sell very
readily for so to 60 cents dozen. My
salesman who goes on the road for me,
tells me that there is no competition on
such goods, and the price is not Ques
toned. Because of lack of help to do
the work small portion of the field
was not mulched and irrigated, and,
the season being very dry, the celery
made SO small growth that it was
hardly marketable at any price. The
only difference in the culture was in
the mulching and irrigation. This cost
about $35 an acre, and by expanding
this additional amount field of celery
was made to pay a good profit that
would not have paid the expense of
growing without the mulching and irri-
cation.
Caulif1owers have always found in

prices The market is not generally

found nothing very difficult in their
culture. l give them almost the same
treatment as cabbages, except when
the plants are about half grown place
a mulch of manure between the rows
and then irrigate them in the same
way as the celery, and this generally
insures the crop. II drought should
come when the plants are heading, the
crop would be uncertain, but the mulch
ing and irrigation prevent their suffer
ing for lack of moisture at this time
and make the crop profitable one.

RACK FOR FEEDING SHEEP.

resented in the cut has been used by
the author for number of years and
found to be satisfactory. The racks
put into them directly from a wagon.
II cut silage is fed, this should be put
in first as it will fall through the rack
into the troughs. After the silage is
properly distributed the racks can be
filled with hay.
The rack represented is II feet long.
The frame is feet 6 inches high and
feet l inch wide and is made from 2
by inch, lumber. The bottom cross
pieces, the upper edges of which are
foot inch from the ground and the
two pieces running lengthwise on the
upper portion of the rack are framed
into the posts. The upper crosspieces
are ~ by 6 inches and are nailed to
the outside of the posts. A by inch
scantling runs lengthwise in the center
Of the rack and is framed to the bottom
crosspieces. To this is nailed at the
bottom / by inch strip for the
trough to rest on. Two boards, / foot
side of the ccnterpiece make the bot
toms of the troughs. and an outside
board 1 by inches, extending up 81
inches above the floor of the trough,
completes it. The Stats for the rack
are ~ by seven-eighths inches and are
placed 21a inches apart. For outdoor
use in a wet climate the rack should be
rooted. This is done by mailing three
pairs of rafters Of the desired pitch on
the top Of the frame. to which, on one
side, one-half inch shiplap. or weather
boarding, is nailed lengthwise. The
other side of the roof should be attach
ed with hinges, so it can be lifted up
when feed is to be placed in the rack.
A one-half by 2 inch strip should be
nailed to the caves SO as to form a sort
of caves trough to prevent water from
dripping on the sheep while feeding.
When fed in large focks, the sheep
should be driven from the feedyard
during the time the racks are being
filled. This will overcome the tenden-
cy to overcrowding and prevent injury
to the sheep from the wagon and team.
The quantity of this feed to be fed
should be governed largely by the ap-
petite of the flock, but it is not usually
advisable to feed over three pounds Of
silage per head daily. For sheep
weighing 125 pounds about % pounds
Of silage and 1.5 pounds of hay will be
ample. and if one-half pound Of grain
or bran be fed slightly less hay will
suffice. This will depend largely upon
the condition of the flock and the sever
ity of the weather. If grain is fed. it
is not a proper plan to mix it with
coarse feed, as the sheep are inclined
to root out and waste this feed in their
efforts TO get the grain.-J. Withcombe.

The immense wine crop of France

STRONG ACTION NEEDED.

ance Of the Manchuria convention and
convince Japan that 1t merely Involves
temporary arrangements for expsdlting
the evacuation Of the country and the
construction Of a railway In which ali
the countries are interested. There Is
an easy method OF reassuring Eng
land, as well as Japan, that 1t Is an
innocent treaty, which all the powers
win be glad to sanction. This Is to
publish the text and dispeI the mys-
terry now enveioping il. The strenuous
opposition Of the Yang-tse viceroys and
the reform governors to the Manchuria
convention is proof that the Russian IN
trlgue with the Manchu dynasty is
DREADED by the patriotic officials who
saved the situation last year.
The German emperor has emphasiz-
ed, in an ostentatious way, his good
feeling for Russia, and the Berlin press,
under official guidance, continues to ex-
clude Mauchuria from the operation OF
the Anglo German agreement. The FOR
eign office here still affects ignorance Of
the provisions Of the Manchurian con-
vention and declines either to use prov
ocative language toward Russia or ac-
cept Count Won Bulew's flexible inter-
probation Of the Anglo-German agree
ment. There is temporary pause, dur
ing which the Manchuria convention
may be modified at the instance Of
Russia. This is the result which opti-
mists in parliament were forecasting
yesterday when convinced that the ori-
ginal draft had not been signed.
There is little doubt that the foreign
office here would welcome strong action
bv the United States government
against the detachment OF Manchuria
from the general scope of the diplomacy
covered by the concert. Both England
and Germany would follow this Amer
lean lead. although neither is at liber-
ty to take a strong line of its own.
Japan would welcome an energetic
American protest against the severance
of Manchuria from China, and the re-
form movement headed by the Yang-tse
viceroys, which is a most hopeful sign
of the revival of Chinese nationality.
would be strengthened by it. Some OF
the best-informed men in diplomatic
and political circles assert that energetic
action by the Washington government
would be most helpful at the pres
ent time and that it would be a prac-
tical expedient for enforcing the open
door principle by the power which Is
not embarrassed by foreign alliances
and holds written guarantees for the
freedom of commerce in the far East.
