LAMBS ARE STUFFED.
Sheep Industry Scientifically Carried
on in This County.

on IN MS - ountY.
rhe Detroit Free Press OF Sunday
contained the following article OF es
pecial interess to Shia wassee county
people.
Veraon. Mioh., Nov. 25.-Although
1t Is not generally known, Shla wassee
county is the home Of an immense In
dustry, the feeding of sheep
Within radius OF five miles of this
little town nearly hundred farmers
are engaged in fattening between
30 600 and 10000 lambs, which, early
In the new year, will be shipped to
the eastern markets and sold at fancy
prices
These farmers fed from 100 to 5000
lambs each during q season, according
to the capacity Of their barns, aud
they have found 1T very profitable
business.
Last year 10000 head were fed, and
1t Is conservatively estimated that
each yielded profit OF from 81 so to
81.
Washington Bingham, who estab-
lished "Thel Evergeens" farm, now
conducted by his son, Glare 8. Bing-
ham, Is the father Of the Industry,
and 1t was his success that induced
his neighoors to take up the business.
He began in a small way some twenty
years ago and gained an extensive
reputation as an importer and breeder
of fancy breeds. At the same time he
decided to try the experiment. of buy
ingwestern lambs and fattening them,
believing that fair margin Of profit
could Re made 1t was a success from
the start. and the Binghams have
been the leading feeders in the state,
their long experience enabling them
to get the best results at tie lowest
cost.
Fattening lambs Is nothing else
than process OF enforced gluttony,
and every scientific method known is
adopted to induce the lambs to eat
just as much as they can every day.
The trick farmers have to turn is to
buy 5.months-old lamb weighing
fifty pounds, and add forty pounds to
It's weight In three months time. All
OF them do not obtain the best results
for each farmer has bis own formula
for mixing feed and handling the
lambs.
When the industry was young the
lam bs to be fed were bought in Chi
caxo bat now the big feeders make
several trips every year through Ore
gon, Montana, Wyoming and Idaho,
purchasing from 10000 TO Is 900 lambs
at time. These are shipped home
and what the buyer does not kee p
himself he dSpcses to his neighb rs
who are not In the business on such
an extensive scale. In fact q large
majority OF the feeders handle less
than 1000 lambs year, though many
are now beginning to branch out as
they get more capital.
During the entire feeding season
the lambs are kept in specially con-
structed barns and are never permitted
to Craze or exercise the object being
to keep them as quiet as possible and
allow the fat to accumulate On the
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1905-12-01

Bingham farm each feed barn has a
capacity of about 1000 lambs. the
ground floor being divided off into
pens holding 200 each. Around these
pens run the feed racks, and the
feeding is always done by the same
man, so as not to excite the bleaters
any more than is necessary.
Feeding is a scientific process an
the character and amount of the feed
depends upon the condition of the
ANIMALS. A varying combination of
grain, composed of wheat, corn, buck
wheat, oats and barley, is the princi-
pal food, followed by hay and bean
pods.
When the lambs are first received
they have never tasted anything but
grass and great care has to be exercis-
ed to prevent over feeding them grain
or they will die. Generally the first
few days young lambs are only given
a quarter of. a pound of grain and this
amount is generally increased until it
reaches pound and a half
The lambs are fed twice day, the
first time as soon as the day breaks
First they get the grain mixture and
after that has been eaten they are
given just as much hay as they will
eat. The second feeding begins in
the middle of the afternoon so that it
can be finished before dark.
The feed boxes are carefully clean
ed of all material and more grain is
served. Then more hay is pulled
down, so that the lambs will keep feed
ing as much as possible. AS soon as
they reach the desired weight they are
hurried to cars and shipped to Buffalo.
"a choice lot of mutton is raised
in this county" said Clare Bingham
recently, "but Detroit does not get
any of it and Chicago very little.
Our market is Buffalo, from which
point most of it goes to New York,
Boston and Philadelphia. Feeding
sheep is more OF less of a speculation,
but experience brings success. Last
year young mutton went as high as
so 40 a hundred and everybody around
here made money. We fed three
patches of about 1000 each. The
first batch goes on feed in September
and is turned out in January. The
second is turned out in March and the
last in June.
Generally the first two patches are
sold with the wool on, especially when
the difference in price is small, but we
usually shear the last batch. BY care
full handling we do not lose more than
one percent of our lambs. Often it is
hard to tell just what causes their
DEATH but in most cases it comes from
over feeding. Aside from the feed the
expense of handling the lambs is small,
as they keep themselves warm"
At present there are over 10000
lambs on feed in Shiawassee county and
at the end of the season the output is
expected to exceed that of last year
though prices may not hold up we'll
1t is peculiar that the industry should
be confined to one locality, but it seems
to nave grown up among the neighbor-
ing farmers, who gradually learned
how to handle the lambs SUCCESSFULLY
