SHEEP FEEDING.
Finishing Western wethers ON Grass
and Grain For Summer Market.


Western weshers on Grass
and Grain For summer Market.
Farmers throughout the central
states annually feed and finish for
market thousands OF sheep. During
the past decade a great many farmers
have adopted the policy OF purchasing
western lambs and yeariings during
the months Of September. October. No
yember and December with the inten-
ton OF feeding them from GO to 10
days. depending upon the condition OF
lambs, markets. etc. and then selling
them at an advance in price sufficient
to return nice profit on the investment.
Many sheep feeders claim that one
year with another when sheep or
lambs are fed on grain and hay that
the feeder must have a margin OF at
least per cent per pound between the
buying and selling price to warrant q
profit. A careful study Of the cost OF
producing gains on sheep and lambs
at this and other stations would indi-
cate that margin Of cent per pound
between the buying and selling price
Is not always necessary.
trials at Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Michigan stations where corn and hay
were used. varning hay at $S per ton
and corn at 80 cents per bushel. each
pound Of gain was made at cost Of
AZ cents At this station gains have
been made on grass and corn at cost
Of less than 2 cents per pound, In
| which instance the sheep could have
been sold without any advance over
the buying price and a nice profit
realized.
| When feed is low in price. the feeder
can work on small margin. and vice
| versa Lambs can be handled on q
much closer margin than yearlings or
older sheep, due to the fact that the
younger the animal the better II can
utilize its feed. Thus more economical
gains are made. More economical
gains can also be made during the
summer months on grass alone and
grass and grain than can be made dur
ing the fall and winter months OF
grain and hay.
l. A careful study Of the markets dur
ing the past few years will reveal thu
fact that sheep and lambs are usually
lower In price during the latter par
| Of April and the first Of May than the.
are during the early part of July be
fore what is commonly termed 'gras
stock" arrives on the market. This
due to the fact that most OF the west
ern fed lambs are marketed during tn
month Of April and the early part o
May. Thus there Is usually perio'
Of from six to eight weeks duratio
when good sheep are at premium. q
the native lambs do not usually arrfv
before the middle Of July or first o
I'll August This Is a factor which tn
II feeder should consider, for ofteutime
q heavy run will cause sharp cut Il

Potato Culture.

The following letter written to
the Pueblo Chieftaip is in direct
contradiction OF the frequently
made statement that potatoes will
not grow IN this section. A few
OF our farmers have made a success
OF 1t and the fancy prices that have
prevailed Of late years should make
more OF them experiment in this
line:
Dear Sir was somewhat
amused today on reading your
comments on Arkansas Valley
Potatoes" Had the Chieftain re
porter been looking for something
good to report about Arkansas
valley products, he would have
seen at the State Fair. this fall,
potatoes raised in this country,
taking the blue ribbon against the
balance of the state. There is
no doubt or uncertainty about the
raising OF potatoes in this valley
on thousands of acres of the right
kind OF land. This valley contains
a great variety OF soils many OF
which are not adapted to potato
culture. The great trouble with
those that have failed has been
with improper selection OF soil,
improper cultivation and irriga-
ton.

"there now remains just one ques-
