-

After lambs are up and sucking they
have 4 very fair chance in the battle
of life until they are old enough to hus-
tie for themselves, for during this pc
riod they are not subject to many all
ments but yet may go off very quickly
from the few they are liable TO. l think
there IS more to be learned in diagnos-
ing the troubles Of the sucking lambs
than in the treatment Of such, says an
extensive breeder. If you can deter
mine what ails young lamb and are
in doubt as to the remedy, just ask any
old housewife what she gives babies
for such sickness, and you'll get pretty
accurate advice. One point to always
bear ia mind is that whatever ais a
sucking lamb, aside from accidents,
the chances are big that the source Of
trouble is the ewes milk. So when
there is any sickness among them at all
general see to it at once that ewes have
change of feed, treatment, etc.
When lambs get old enough to pick
up their own living largely and have
the chance Of making acquaintance
ship with internal parasites, scours or
diarrhea becomes an unfortunately
common trouble, but while they live
mostly on the ewes and the latter have
| any sort of intelligent treatment it is
! not at all common.
Care and Feed For Sheep.
During the heated season sheep
should by all means be provided with
shelter, as they suffer greatly from
heat, especially the direct rays of the
sun. Every man who keeps sheep
| should provide shade, and for best re-
suits we'll ventilated, darkened shed,
where the sheep can go in and be cool
and escape the flies is essential Such
i house need not be expensive, as it
! can be so built as to be utilized during
both summer and winter. The impOr-
| tant essentials in such house in sum-
| mer are that it be dark, cool and well
ventilated These features are so cas-
lily obtained that discussion is unneces-
| sary.
When sheep have access to the above,
they will do their grazing during the
cool parts OF the day, returning to the
shed in the middle of the day. Here
the lambs can be given a small supply
OF grain to keep them growing rapidly.
If the pastures fail, it will be profitable
to give the ewes grain alsO.-J. H. Skin

shropshires Are Crossbred.
Mr.. Metre, one of England's most
noted stock breeders, once said: sit is
not attempted to deny that the Shrop-
shire is a crossbred sheep. The orig
inal breed was horned, and the first
attempt at improvement was to get rid
of these membranes, and there is lit
tie doubt that this was effected by
cross of the Southdown. This sheep
was we'll adapted to the downs, but for
the Enclosures something more docile
was required; consequently recourse
was had to the Leicester"

SILO FITTED FOR STEAM.

at @, and also midway between the
bottom and top at F. The upright pipe
E f in the silo was covered with cap
at + so as to prevent fodder from fall
ing into the pipe. Ten to fifteen holes
three-eighths of an inch in diameter
were drilled in the pipe near the cap
at F as outlets for the steam. The ell
bow at G turns directly down and
comes to within about two inches Of
the bottom Of the silo. This elbow G
prevents material from getting into the
pipe G H and serves as an easy outlet
for the steam when forcing it into the
silo near the bottom.
The silo was filled with very green,
immature corn. cut three-quarters of an
inch long and packed as tight as posi-
BILE. The contents were then steamed,
first by making connection through D.,
then disconnecting at D and connecting
at l. Pressure was part of the time
at twenty pounds. and. for the latter
part, forty pounds. The steaming proc
ess lasted from about o'clock one
evening till $50 the next morning.
A sterilized cotton plug was tied over
the end of the pipe at |, projecting from
the silo. The second pipe projecting
from the silo was stopped with an
iron plug screwed in at D. Just at the
end of the steaming process, and while
the corn fodder was still very hot, both
silos were covered with layers of heavy
building paper and then with several
inches CT steriliEed cotton.
When the siios were opened in De
cembsr, the steamed silage was sweet
and bright, and had undergone very
little change since the green fodder was
mt in
