Teachinu Lambs to Feed.

When lamb is two weeks old 1t IL
ready for feeding something in add
ton to the ewes milk. 1t is true thai
by feeding the eve her milk will be
increased. but the first thing to do Is tc
feed the ewes, for the sake of thu,
lambs, which may be fed indirectly
in this way from the first day of theii
lives. The lambs are easily taught to
feed by themselves if they are provid'
ed with suitable feeding pens into
which they may go through marrow
openings too small for the ewes. This
is the simplest matter possible. TC
catch lamb and take ii into the pen
and put a little of the feed provided
into its mouth is all thai Is needed; the
lambs will do the rest; for where one
goes all will want to go instanter.-

The Corn breeder.

Corn-breeding has become special.
ized industry. The field for this branch
of farming is very great, as is shown
by the fact that the corn growers of
Illinois alone use over 100000 bush
els of seed every year. OF course it Is
not necessary that this seed be secured
from the breeder fresh every year. but
seed will not as rule remain pur.
more than four or five years. 1t then
becomes necessary to again secure
well-bred seed. AS yet the demand has
been but little developed. Farmers are
just beginning to realize the import
ance and benefit of improved seed, but
even now corn breeders are not able to
supply the demand. That this demand
will increase far beyond the capacity Of
corn breeders to supply there is no
doubt.--A. ID. Shamel, in Orange Judd
Farmer.

likewise has, for instance, from 5000

lowing states: Missouri, Texas, Ten
nesssee and Kentucky, and just about
the same number respectively in New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa,
and it has some subscribers in every
state and territory in the Union. The
paper is well edited as is attested by
the fact that it is widely quoted from

fact that thousands Of it's subscribers
