THE FLOCK MASTER

In starting a flock Of sheep should
buy good individuals of one Of the lead
ing breeds, says New York farmer
in American Agriculturist. Such sheep
represent the knowledge, experience
and judgment of years. They will cost
less to keep, having been bred to get
the best results, will produce uni
form clip of wool and good flock of
lambs. Choose strong. large bodied
ewes of milking type, long. deep bodied,
strong over back. plenty Of heart and
lung room, covered with close, dense
fleece Of good staple. The ram should
be masculine and at least one year old
when used.

I wean the lambs at about four
months, place on good feed and give a
grain ration at once. Whole oats like
best. Much care Is now necessary that
the ewes udder does not become In
famed and injured. Put them on dry
feed or short pasture for few days,
milking them out each day, says a
New York sheep grower in American
Agriculturtst.
Nodular Disease In Sheep.
It is well known that sheep suffering
from nodular disease Of the intesdnes
when placed upon hitherto clean pas
ture transmit infection to it through
extusion Of the nodule worm through
their bowels, probably with their drop
pings.
When sound lambs are permitted to
occupy pasture so infected they Will
contract nodule disease
When the surface Of an infected
pasture Is turned under by blowing
and the land cropped even for a single
season the infection may be destroyed
Profit In Sheep.
Fat lambs always find ready sale al
good prices, and choice lambs are gen
orally scarce at high prices. If lambs
are kept TIL they grow a fleece, thu
price Of the wool is generally the prof
Of the sheep over the fat cow or the "a
steer. OF course sheep will not fatta1

wet lots upon neglect But they viii

The Quality of Fleece.
The quality Of the fleece depend
upon the character Of the sheep from

Anthrax Readily Communicated.

The readiness with which anthrax
may be communicated from one ami
NAL to another is noted In the expert
ment station record Of the department
Of agriculture.
A harness which had been upon a
horse that had recently died with an
thrax was placed upon healthy horse,
with the result that the latter animal
subsequently contracted the disease. In
experiments with rabbits the disease
was contracted by lightly rubbing the
anthrax germs upon the skin. There
were no cuts or abrasions Of the skin,
but the bacilli penetrated through the
hair follicles.-American Cultivator.

FEEDING BEEF CALVES.
Occasional Slight Changes IA Diet
Are of Beneat.

Are of Benefit.
When calves of different agas are
fed together they learn to eat, grain
when from three to six weeks old and
for the best development require all
they will clean up twice day.. 1t Is
best to feed the grain before tie cows
are taken to the barn, as theyiwill not
care for it when the time draws near
for their milk ration and will be toe
full to eat after sucking their dams.
They must be divided enough to pre-
vent the older ones from crowding the
little ones away OF all be chained to
separate places. / prefer claiming
them, as the feeder can then know lust
how much each one will clean up with
relish and sooner detect any little
indisposition.
Equal parts by weight of ground
oats, cornmeal and bran mixed form
one of the very best ground feeds, and
the best whole grain mixture is shelled
corn and oats. Sudden changes in
their feed must be avoided, but as they
soon tire of one ration it is best to
make frequent slight changes, chang
ing the proportion of the mixture a lit
tie, changing from an exclusive ground
grain ration to ground grain in the
morning and whole grain at night, mix
ing the whole grain with the ground,
ETC.
Good grazing practically the year
around is very desirable and greatly
relished by the youngsters. Blue grass
and white clover form one of the best
permanent pastures for use at all sea-
sons Crimson clover is fine for spring
use, and cowpeas broadcasted or soy
beans in drills furnish fine summer and
fall pasture. Soy beans in rows will be
harvested by calves without waste Of
leaf or pod. Warm, clean and well
ventilated quarters should be provid-
ed for nights and bad days during win
ter, and cool, dark sheds as an escape
from the sun and flies during the mid
die Of the day in summer.-H. W. Crew

Pure Bred Sires
For Beef Herd

Every breeder of live stock has two
great battles on hand. One of these is
the battle for improvement, aud the
other is the greater battle against the
deterioration of his herd. Many cattle
breeders seem to feel that when they
have become possessed Of pedigreed
bull their success as breeders is as
sured, says Kansas Farmer. They fail
to realize the fact that pedigree does
not make bull.
A pedigree is only the written as
surance that the ancestors of the ami
NAL have done well under proper care
and a promise that he will do well if
rightly handled With pedigree the
chances of the animal proving himself
good one are excellent, though not
absolute. Without pedigree it is
mere guesswork.
There are many unregistered bulls
that are good individuals, but a crop
of their. calves shows the weak points
in their ancestry while their continued
use is sure to result in the deteriora-
ton of the herd. A pure bred bull that
is good individual means not only an
assurance Of victory in the fight
against deterioration, but is power
full instrument in the hands Of the
breeder in his battle for improvement.
While 1t may sometimes be neces-
sary to outcross cattle for the sake Of
adding certain desirable points, it
should never be permissible to cross
breed them, and scrub bull should
never exist. Even poor steer is much
more valuable than poor bull because
he cannot injure the herd.
A good bull' does not necessarily
mean high priced one, but 1t does
mean pure bred. one.
Pure bred bulls are SO cheap and
land values are becoming so high that
the farmer must use them not only to
succeed, but to keep himself from fail
ing in his business.
