The Early Lambs.

Some of the earliest lambs come in
January, but February and March are
the months when the large majority
of lambs are expected. They are cold
months, and young lambs are very
tender little things. The ewes should
now be given some attention, as it is
necessary that each lamb have an
abundance of milk If fed too liber-
ally on grain the ewes may become
too fat and many of them be subject
to milk fever. A pint of oats per day
for each eve, with an abundance of
clover hay, using sliced turnips as n
change, Will keep the ewes in good
condition When the lambs come they
must be i'm warm quarters If ex-
posed I'm the fields, as sometimes hap
pens, some of the lambs will perish
and many will become stunted in
growth. One of the main points in
producing early lambs is to secure
rapid growth from the start and get
them into market as soon as possible

The Pig on the Small Farm.

Since the advent of hog cholera it
is really astonishing to find the great
number of farmers that do not keep
single hog upon their farms, and at
the same time they are throwing away
enough milk and refuse from the
table to keep n good sow or two. and.
besides raising their own meat. have
a nice little bunch to sell each year.
The idea seems to prevail among n
great many that unless YOU own or
are operating n large farm, there is
no place for the hog. This is very
mistaken idea. There can be just as
much made in proportion with hogs
upon a small farm as ON large one.
Few are the farms Git matters not
the size that will not support brood
SOW or two and do It well. with scarce
ly any other feed than the milk. par
ings and refuse from the table and
liberal supply of grass Sows kept in
this manner will, as n rule have more
pigs, and they will also be healthier
and stronger. After the sows have
theh pigs, push them along and do
not let them become stuuted. because
n pig stunted when it is little will
never make the hog it would have
made had it been kept continually
growing. After the pigs will weigh
from sixty to 100 pounds, if they are
nice, growthy, attractive fellows,
there is always a market for them.
There is scarcely a neighborhood
where you will not find men that are
always on the lookout for shoats of
this kind, to follow cattle or feed out.
and this is the small farmers oppor-
tunity TO dispose of them at a good
profit, too.-Ohio Farmer.

DO Not Use Unwholesome Dairy Food
According to the Alabama station 1t
does not pay to use unwholesome
food. and especially is this so in the
dairy where the feed supply should be
carefully and frequently investigated
and any kinds of decayed feed ex-
cluded from the dairy cows bill OF
fare. Ill-smelling, fermenting silage
must not be permitted In the stalls at
time Of milking, as the milk is liable to
absorb the odor. and the bacteria in
the silage are liable to infect the milk
Bitter weeds and wild onions must be
removed from the pastures If possible
since they are liable to transmit a for
eign taste or odor
