his fodder il looks high. but he must
remember that. although it does cost
him from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton, il
takes the place of hay which has a
market value of from two to three
times that amount. Men who have
made practice Of feeding shredded
fodder state that it costs from s.; to 81
an acre TO prepare il. and that an acre

Catching Sheep.

A sheep should never be caught by
its wool. This method not only causes
the animal unnecessary pain, but in
the case of fat sheep, that are to be
killed, it does much harm TO the joint
of mutton that lies underneath where
the wool was pulled 1t causes dark

bodies become discolored from being

vises that the proper way to catch a
sheep is TO take it either by the hind
leg just above the gambrel joint OF
by putting the hand underneath its
jaw or neck. In using a crook it is
important that the sheep are not
caught below the gambrel joint, as
injury to the leg is liable 10 result from

Young chickens should be fed many
times through the day.
Fowls confined TO narrow limits are
apt 10 get too fat If well fed, and they

One breed is enough for the farmer.
II more than one is kept they Will mix
and lose their individuality.
Fowls kept in yards Of moderate size
suffer less from disease, and lay more
eggs than those ON free range.
Since the price Of beef and pork has
gone 20 high more poultry is being eat
en-; but the quality must be good.
In raising fowls for market those
that are the best layers, the best set.

MIX is one of the best possible feeds
for laying hens. and 1t would pay to

hens.
While usually hen becomes less
valuable after she 10 two years old,
many will continue laying until four
