Feeding sheep.

Sheep are fed for double purpose
wool and mutton. Don't make the mis-
take of feeding for mutton and starv-
ing for wool, because when feeding for
the one you are also feeding for the
other, and if you imagine that feed
ing may be curtailed or neglected when
only wool is wanted. you make So
rious mistake, says Farmers Call.
Good wool requires uniform feeding,
for short period of deprivation causes
a weak streak all through the fleece,
and buyers are always on the lookout
for defects that will reduce the prices
Sheep for wool need not be fed like
those fed for fat, but should be kept in
a good, thrifty condition throughout
the year. When the object of feeding
is both wool and mutton, feed for the
mutton. and you get the fleece. You
may take thin lamb and fatten him
for mutton in a short time. but his
fleece will be inferior, whereas, ii the
lamb has been kept in good condition
continuously, feeding for fat will mere
ly improve the fleece.

A TREAsoNABLE UMBRELLA.
Inferior Person in Ashanti orsnds
his King ~ Putting On
Too Mach Style.

An inferior chief In Lagos has. It is
feared, committed the indiscretion of
using a large and elaborate umbrella.
with the result that his superior chief
is offended at what he regards a
breach of court etiquette, relates the
New York Times.
Hitherto no one but a principal chief
had been allowed to carry an UNI
brella, and when some time ago a
subordinate made an appearance with
one of rather snowy design he was
promptly fined by the local council.
The principal umbrella for Ashanti
and the Gold coast chieftains are Of
enormous size. some Of them when
open measuring ten feet across,
A state umbrella dispatched from
London few weeks ago had for its
apex q silver eagle standing on two
silver cannon. nine inches in height.
Another had as symbolical orna-
ment an eishteen-carat gold hen sur
rounded by eighteen-carat gold chick
ems, representing the chief and his
tribe.
The coverings of the umbrellas are
of red, white. yellow. and blue silk,
with deep frlnges. The largest um-
brellas are carried over the heads of
chiefs by bearers, while other bearers
steady the umbrella by cords attached
to the uppermost parts. A compare
lively small umbrella surmounted by
chased silver knobs instead of an
elaborate design, is for the inferior
chiefs.

FEEDING HOGS FOR PROFIT.


In raising hogs for profit one must
in the first place feed The sows before
farrowing time with view to the rais-
ing Of good, thrifty. strong. healthy lit
ters. That done, he has scored a very
important point, for IL wo start with a
lot of little puny weddings, we are
handicapped at the beginning AS soo1
rs the pigs manifest a disposition to
eat give them convenient place, out
Of reach of the sows, furnished with
shallow troughs, in which place feed
consisting of bran, shorts and soaked
corn, but not soured. Place proper
amount of salt IN each ration. Also
place some ashes in convenient place,
with some salt sprinkled thereon, for
them to root in.
Now we have the youngsters started
and must keep increasing the feed as
they grow older and larger. Supple
ment all this with a coed clover field,
and if you have no clover, sow oats or
rape and pasture it before 1t gets too
large, Have two or three lots and
have something growing Tor the pigs
all the time. Do not let them get
stunted from birth till day of sale.
Plant quite early some sweet corn.
Plant two or three different times and
by the time the pigs get old enough to
eat it, it will do to cut and throw to
them. Feed it while in the roasting ear
stage. By the time the sweet corn is
fed out, the field corn will do to feed.
In this way one can keep the pigs
thrifty and in good growing condition
from farrowing time till day Of sale.
The latter should be from seven to
eight months, and weight should be
from 200 to 2S0 pounds. The most
clear profit can be obtained at that
age, besides there is a lively demand
for that class of pork Guide.
The Colfax chronicle., 1904-07-16

One of the most successful dairymen
we know about feeds his cows four
ounces Of salt per COW per day, and
says that it pays. THE cows give
more milk, the milk has q much bet
ter flavor. and will keep considerably
longer" The salt is fed with the grain
ration. Since hearing this man We
have fed our cows more salt. Alto
gether we have not got up. to the quar-
ter-pound notch, yet we still believe
that a good many COWS do not get as
much salt as they really need. Sailing
is one of the little things that are apt
to be neglected, and handful once q

THE TURKEY ON THE FARM.
The business Is All Right IL xour

The turkey demands wider range

how alluring the turkey business may
seem. In the end it will prove dis

neighboring gardens will be your enc

patch of cabbage in short order If op-
portunity is offered.
Again, if your neighbors are engaged
in turkey raising, think twice before

not to attempt turkey raising. for IL is
