THE SHEEP BARN.
A Mistake to Close Ii In Summer.
Sheep Need 1t.

The sheep barn during the summer
months should be made acceptable for
unrestrained occupation by the flock.
The prevailing practice among flock
masters Is as soon as the flock goes TO
pasture to close the sheep barn for the
season and compel the flock to seek
protection where available. This prac-
tice is wrong and deleterious to the
flock. The sheep barn can and should
be made as serviceable during the sum-
mer as the winter months, and in so
doing serve double purpose. During
the summer the sheep barn should serve
as protection against excessive heat
ard drenching storms. 1t can be made
more adequate retreat during the
heat of the day than is possible for the
flock to obtain elsewhere. Sheep suffer
greatly from intense heat. There are
always during the summer frequent
local storms that are followed by
nights Of cold, damp air. This weather
Ia injurious to health and not infre-
quently lays the foundation of disease
In the flock.
Protection From Parasites.
Parasitic trouble Is one Of the serious
things that infest the flock during sum.
mer. The sheep barn affords a means
through which parasitic trouble can
be eliminated In great measure
Sheep suffering from intense heat will
huddle together either In fence corners
or under shade trees, thus affording an
excellent breeding place for parasites.
II the flock il allowed access to the
sheep barn disinfectant can be ap-
piled effectually about 1t. Then, too.
the occasional visit to the barn gives
the owner a chance to examine his
nock and discover parasitic trouble
early before the entire flock becomes
seriously infested. The foregoing are
only part Of the benefits of the open
sheep barn as enumerated by L. C.
Reynolds of Michigan In the National
Stockman, the conservation of manure
and protection from dogs being other
Items. In conclusion Mr.. Reynolds sug-
gests that the barn be well cleaned to
start with. and the windows curtained
to retard sunlight, as this keeps out
dies and other insects. Good ventila-
ton should be afforded and litter used
frequently and abundantly underfoot.

Lard finds a more kindly reception
ON the continent Of Europe than does
any other United States packing house
product. Germany and other countries
which enforce hindering regulations
against the importation of other meat
products import large quantities of
United States lard. In fact. practical
" their only source Of supply of this
article Is the United States. Ship
ments from other countries are rela-
lively unimportant. The abundant sup
ply Of corn In the hog raising sections

practically no other country enjoys.

All Old Brindle wants Is a chance.
Give 1t to her. She won't disappoint
you. Last year the value Of the milk,
cream, butter and cheese produced by
Old Brindle and her sisters In the
United States was worth $685., 600, 900.
That shows what she can do when she
has half chance.
Brindle had about the best chance in
1905 she ever had. The season was
long and the pastures good. She had
green grass, and plenty of 1t, from
early spring till late fall. In conse-
quence she fairly outdid herself June
pastures make Brindle happy and con-
tented, and when she's that she does
her best for you.
The average New York price for ex-
ira creamery butter In June, 1905, was
20h cents. In January, 1906. 1t was
26h cents. This is a difference of 6
cents between June and January
caused by the difference In supply.
3rindle didn't do as well In January
as she did In June. She hasn't had
chance.
Brindle's wants are few. A comfort
able shelter. pure air, little kindness
and sufficient food Of the right kind are
all she requires. When she has these
she has a chance. and she makes good.
Brihdle has a chance In June. With
pastures knee deep, with pleasant
weather and with no flies to bother her
her milk yield goes up by leaps and
bounds. That's the result Of giving
Brindle chance.
Now, II you could surround Brindle
with the same pleasant conditions In
January as nature gives her in June
