Joining my hogfouse. The feeding Is

pigs every access to them. ! feed the
sows all the oats they can eat; give
them all the water they can drink.
The pigs are fed all the shelled corn
they car eat. They go up there, eat
and get to the lows. BY the end OF
the week these sows are dry, and the
pigs get SO disguised going up there
and finding nothing that they Just
quit. Absolutely at the end OF one
week not a pig will go near its mother.
You can turn the sows right out in the
pasture with the pigs. and there Is no
more trouble. Now this is not q

and the pigs never suck the sows

When the Lamb Comes.

As the time for the coming of the
youngsters approaches, the shepherd
will be making preparations, says "A.
ID. Gamley. II the lambs are coming
in May. very little is necessary to be
done, but II in March, and the sheep
pen is not warm enough for newborn
lambs, then warmer quarters must be
provided. My plan is to have n shed
built OF poles, covered with straw and
well banked with manure, into which
turn the cattle, making the vacated
stalls into temporary pens by Mailing
a few boards across the ends. Now
for the lambs. AS the ewes bring
them into the warm stable, where h
pens have already been prepared, OK
anime the udler, draw some milk. so
that the lamb will get II more freely,
clean all the wool and filth away from
around It, 80 that the lamb will have
no trouble In getting hold OF the teat.
IT the lamb Is strong. don't be In too
great n hurry to get him to suck, no
will soon find the teat, and the less
they are handled the better. IL the
lamb is weak, assist II to tho teat,
holding IL up for a few times, or until
he finds his legs. II too weak to suck,
draw some milk from the eve into a
warm tea cup, feeding two or three
spoonfuls at a time, until strong
enough to help itself. II a lamb Is
chilled and apparently lifeless, pour a
t%easpoonful of gin in a little warm
water down It's throat, and submerge
1t once, all but the head, in warm
water, or put In a warm oven. The
latter, the hot air cure, | think 10
much the surest plan. have brought
round lambs in that way that have
been picked up for dead. Never give
up u lamb that has been chilled and
never sucked. without trying one OF
the aforesaid methods for it's recov-
cry; the chances for that lamb living
are a good deal better than for an
ailing lamb a few days OF a week old.
AS the Landing progresses, the shep-
herd will have observed that some
ewes are much heavier mixers than
others. and that the poor mixers very
often nave twins: put one of the twins
on a eve with a single lamb and q
Soou miihtT. 1HS UeSt duu cubiCob
plan Is to pick out a eve giving indi-
cations Of being q good mother, and
watch for her lambing. As soon as
she has LANDED, and before she gets
up, place the twin lamb beside the
newborn lamb, and roll and rub them
together. which will give the same
appearance and smell to both, and
when the eve turns round to survey
her progeny she will never suspect the
fraud, but will commence licking both
lambs. l have never seen this plan
fail. II n wv loses her lamb, make
her foster a twin (aim to make every
W raise a lamb). This requires q
little patience. My plan is to skin
the dead lamb and sew the pelt or to
the twin lamb. putting the dam and
foster lamb In a dark pen for a few
days, always keeping a sharp look
out to see II the lamb is doing all
right. II is as well in their case to
tie up the eve for the first day or SO.

At the Wisconsin State fair last
week we noticed what was to most
people n new feature In coops to be
used I'm Judging. These were made
open on both sides. This gives the
light n full passage around the birds
and the judges have no trouble In SEQ
ing the specimens they are to pass
upon. without removing them from the
coops. The judges do their work on
tho opposite side from the crowd,
which Is another advantage OF this
arrangement. or course tho birds are
taken out OF tho coops and handled
when necessary, In any event. with
the old style of coops. those open on
ono side, there was always a semi
twilight when the Judge. clerk n
owners Of the birds got around them.
Then, too, 1t was always n nuisance
to have people crowdiug In between
the Judge and the clerk making rec
ords for him. Now these two officials
have u whole row OF coops between
themselves and other interested per
sons,
