LAMB FEEDING.
The Methods Of Successful Sheep
Owner of Ohio as Given
by Himself.

There is more than one way of feed
in the same locality, and under simi-
lar conditions. Widely separated To-
calities may admit Of still greater vari-
atiOns in methods. In another article.
we give some advice from Mr.. Peter
Jansen, whose experience has been
gained under nebraska conditions Mr..
J. E. Wing, whose feeding experience
has been with Ohio conditions, in an
swering an inquiry in the Breeders
Gazette as to the best method of feed
ing lambs says:
"Our practice is the result of habit
very largely. We have learned that
certain practices make us money. We
once did differently, feeding better
lambs and in more scientific way,
possibly, and made less money. To
begin with, we lay in an order with
a reliable commission firm for our
feeders early in the season. We say in
effect: Get us the best and smallest
money Sometimes month rolls
around before we get them, but there
comes glut in the market some day
and we get our lambs. We unload
them ana hurry them home before the
neighbors see them. l had them once
when they would jump out of the car
doors q did not run the cars down to
the yards) and they were so light and
starved that they would scarcely come
to the ground and would not make a
dent when their feet struck it. Those
lambs made me ashamed at first, but
they made us more money than any
we had ever fed. A careless feeder or
a man not fitted to nurse them would
drop his wad right there.
when they are home we rest them
in a shaded bluegrass pasture for two
days. Then we dip them carefully.
Then they go directly to their sheds
and stay there until they 60 to mar
ket No fall pasturing with western
lambs for us. We begin feeding alfalfa
hay. At first they eat a lot of it. We
give them corn silage, too, with their
alfalfa. You cannot make it pay to
put corn into a weak, starved lamb.
About Christmas we begin feeding
little ear corn. Gradually we feed
more and more ear corn. Eventually
they eat all the ear corn they can hold,
very nearly. We never reach quite
the full-feed point. We break the ears
small at first. We shear in March or
early in April. We never ship with
the wool on We make the lambs vorv
ripe and fat and they top the Buffalo
markets every time. That is habit,
too. With this slow feeding we make
them gain about from so to IS or 80
pounds. 1t pays us because we put
into them comparatively small
amount of grain and much rough feed
cheaply produced on the farm"

Fox breeders must now be consid-

IS wild or tame, the commercial idea is
the same. Elijah Norton, Dover's fox

This flag was used by the first COM

Marion county. On the Fourth of
July, 1s4e. what was probably the
first actual celebration held in Ore

the company so lately formed partic-
ipated in the parade. The new flag
was carried at the head of the COM
pany, lending a touch of color to the
scene.
At the close OF the parade the crowd
collected in the public square and lis

6Yed end forty pupils, aOAack tile ne70
s1ka0I system has IN its fGvor!
The figure. makes the failure OF the
system very evident; IL IS no progress
worth noting to be able to show after
the end of seven years an increase OF
three hundred and forty pupils in
school attendance; but if to the above
be added the fact that the budget for
Education is three times greater than
it was during the former regime. the
failure assumes scandalous, extraordi-
nary and unqualifable proportions.
The budget for Educational pur-
poses amounts, approximately, to
million dollars, sum three times
greater than the amount employed for
this important public service by the
former government.
And with an expenditure three IT,
mes greater, they are at present Civ
ing education to but three hundred and
forty additional children.
A budget three times larger for
such an insignificant gain in the num-
ber of pupils, points unnistakably to
most scandalous waste OF money, to
the most stupendouS of useless expen-
ditures on record. to the most glsring
extravaganza that any government
could be guilty of, TO the very acme OF
bureaucratic lavishness.
There is no excuse for this, there
can be none, no matter what efforts
may be made to find one, no matter
what legends Of Education may be
utilized.
The education of each child is cost
ing us some twenty dollars, II we
take into account the amount of the
budget and the number OF pupils
given in the school statistics.
We need go no further in search OF
proofs.
In the United States, according to
our information, it costs fifteen do
liars for the educa ton of each scholar;
here, twenty dollars.
This discrepancy, this monstrous
difference. does it not proclaim gross
injustice and make public the stupid
ity of those changes which invariably
give such adverse and disastrous res
ults?
Why should we be compelled to
pay more 1UI GuuCdt4Ou uC1C lAAu 10
paid in the United States? Why is
it that in Porto Rico but nine per cent
of the children attend school. when in
| the United States more than fifty per
cent attend2
How are they going to answer
these pertinent questions3 That we
now have more schools than we had
) before?
! But of what use are the school
houses, the deserted halls where
there is veritaDle waste OF material,
and desks which are not used1
Considering the amount of money
spent on Public Education. fifty per
cent of the school population ought to
attend at school.
And the attendance is only mfne PR
cent! vs.
If weevoke, as is indispensable, as
is just, the flightful picture Of ruin
and crisis, then this way of uselessly
spending our money assumes the ira
pic nature of a crime which must be
condemned as we'll as punished, which
must be brought to an end by the one
who has talked Sd much about huma h
nifty, of redemption and of justice.
