Noter for the Shepherd.

From hay to grass is trying time
for the flock, especially if a wet, cold
spring is in evidence. Hay feeding
should not be stopped too suddenly.
Sheep seem to eat more salt when
first put on spring pasture than at
any other season of the year, hence
the Importance of their having goou
supply.
When selecting from a flock of ewes
it is not always wise to choose the
big, fat ones, as such are often those
which are poor breeders or have never
raised a lamb.
The first wooden mill for the North
west territories will be located at
Medicine Hat in the center of sheep

ufactured the first year.
Anyone who will give faithful bust
ness attention to his flock and do unto
his customers as he would wish to
be done unto" can make money out
of sheep these prosperous times.
The aim of the shepherd should be
to get all the growth possible out of
his purebred lambs while they are I'M
der a year old. After this age they
seem pretty we'll able to look out for
themselves.
The profits to be derived from
flock depends considerably upon it's
management. A good caretaker will
make considerable money out of the
same flock that will lose money to
the poor manager.
Purebred lambs should have small
grain ration even when on extra good
pasture The outlay incurred is more
than repaid by superior growth, to
say nothing of the relief such feed
ing brings to the eve.

Macaroni Wheat in This State.


Prof. E. e. Elliott, of the state ex-
pertinent station at Pullman, in writ
ing to the Breeders Gazette, has this
to say about macaroni wheat:
The introduction of macaroni wheat
into the grain growing sections of
eastern and central Washington may
not revolutionize the wheat producing
industry but it certainly offers new
opportunity to growers in the dry land
regions of this state.
There are some tests, however,
which thes newly introduced wheats
must meet before they can take their
place in the category of profitable
crops and so far the real situation in
regard to them is still undetermined.
There is no question about the ability
of the macaroni wheats to grow sue
cessfully in regions SO dry as to be con-
sidered unreliable for ordinary wheat
production, but it has been found that
many well-known varieties, when seed
ed in the semi-arid sections, gradually
become adapted to the unfavorable
conditions and do exceedingly we'll.
The shortness of straw of all wheat
grown on these dry areas is one of
their striking characteristics. Many
of the macaroni varieties are very
heavy in straw growth and for this rea-
son are not adapted for arid land Gull
ture under such conditions.
Many irresponsible seedsmen, as
we'll as land boomers, have been eX-
plotting the sowing of macaroni wheat
without any personal knowledge OF the
nature of the plant. This will doubt
less lead to an increased area being
xxyhn unrC
will probably lose money Most OF
the macaroni wheats are heavily beard
ed and as wheat is generally grown for
grain-hay these will be found less val
liable than the common varieties for
that purpose AS wheat is also very
largely used for stock feed and the
macaroni varieties, because OF the
flintines of the grain, are less adapted
for this purpose than the soft wheats
commonly grown, it remains that the
chief values these new importatiOns
must possess will be as grain for ex-
port and local milling demand At
present the mills do not take kindly to
the macaroni wheats, their machinery
is not adapted to it and the bakers
fight shy of the flour. Bread made
from it is fully as nutritious as any
Otner, perhaps more So, OuC IHe HoAe
thing needed is a campaign of educa-
ton in the use of the flour.
Eastern and central Washington can
produce the grain in abundance, more
SO than any other wheat region of the
country, and as soon as the public will
take it off hand it will be supplied in
ample quantity to meet all demands.
1t is more than probable that crosses
between the macaronis and some of
our we'll known varieties will yet pro-
duce new kinds with special adaptabi-
lily to regions limited to an annual
rainfall as low as seven and eight in
ches and no agricultural prophet would
dare say that wonderful possibilities
are wanting in the future cultivation
of these new wheats.
