Beet PUP Tor onsee.

The Record StOckman of Denver is
authority for the statement that about
5000 sheep are being fattened at Gree
ley, Cole. by the Greeley Sugar COM
pany. They are divided up in pens Of
700 to 500 sheep each, each pen being
in charge of feeder whose business
it is to watch them closely. Oct IL,
at the time they were put on feed,
they averaged seventy-four pounds
each, and during the first three weeks
made gain of two and a half pounds
per head per week. The ration is ten
pounds OF pulp to one-haf pound of
alfalfa hay per day per head. To this
ration it is expected to add small ra-
ton of sugar beet molasses Expert
ments last year indicated that the mo-
lasses tended to- make<a firmer flesh,
and that sheep fed with it as part of
the ration shrunk less in shipping.
The sugar company expects to feed
during the season approximately $4,000
head of sheep and 500 to 600 head of
cattle. The results last year were
profit of 80 cents per head for the
pulp feed sheep. Experiments. we're
conducted last year in feeding pulp
and alfalfa and corn, with the result
that the pulp and alfalfa fed sheep
gained Hrom Is to % per cent more,
than those which received the corn in

Catching Sheep by the Wool.

We are almost out of patience when
we see men who have kept sheep for
years catch them by selling hold of
their wool. 1t is cruel, shamefully
cruel, and a man with any heart in
him would never do it a second time
If he could see the red, blood-settled
looking flesh always found under such
a spot if the poor sheep is killed
shortly after the abuse. 1t is almost
as easy to catch sheep by the neck
or leg, and if it were not it would be
no excuse, tearing, as it frequently
does, the skin from the flesh just be-
meath it. The sheep is so delicately
made and the skin is made SO tender
by the close protecting fleece that it
is much more serious thing to pull
the wool of a sheep than the hair on
ones head.
