LIVE STOCK POINTERS.

Good sheep are not confined to any
one breed.
Scrubby and runty lambs are not
valuable stock to raise.
Unruly sheep, like COWS, should be
weeded out Of the flock
The brood mare with a fall foal de-
serves especial attention.
Give the ewes plenty of oats and
wheat bran and but little corn.
Sheep are naturally freer from dis
ease than any other kind of stock.
Horses like kind word and are not
deaf as rule. Don't yell at them.
Good clover hay is hard to excel as
a rough feed for the breeding ewes.
If ewes are fed too much corn there
is danger of their having weak lambs.
Good wool, as well as good mutton.
depends largely upon the quality of the
food.
When the ewes are to lamb early be
sure that they have warm, dry quar-
ters to themselves.
Use oil on the wagon in winter. Axle
grease stiifens in cold weather-be-
comes dry and hard
Good breeding, good feeding and
good management means good wool as
well as good mutton.
Horses, in order TO do well. should
be given the very best care and atten-
ton paid to their every want.
\ great deal Of trouble with horses
arises through ignorance and not in Civ
ing any thoughts to their needs and
comfort.
Give the eve enough to eat, but let
It be Of such a character as to build ND
her frame and that of the young she
is carrying, and not to fatten her.
A thrifty colt must have plenty of |
milk. The mare can give large guam
tity only when she has something with
which to make it. She can't be half
starved and give her foal enough milk.
