WATER THE SHEEP.
Negligence I'm This Direction Ii 0ften
Serious Matter.


Many farmers seem to think that
sheep will get along all right without
water, and they are often neglected in
this direction. 1t is a bad mistake,
and every one who makes it pays heav-
lily for the ulunder.
Recently | put u flock of ewes and
lambs on piece of wheat stubble to
destroy the ragweed that had started
up after the wheat was cut, writes e.
P. Sn-der in Ohio Farmer. There was
no water il the field. and the sheep
that time two good showers fell The
feed they got was of course tender
and sUcculent. and | thought they
world not suffer for want of water
for t,lat length OF time. When I took
them back to their permanent pasture
was IS :.irisel to see them rush for
the water It til, roadside and line up
at every L. Il puddle to quench their
thirst, and rs soon as they got to the
pasture they ran ..eter skelter for the
water at tl., faree-.ec side of the field.
Ewes Feed water.
One of my reighbors changed his
ewes to pasture where there was no
water. 1t was early in the season. The
grass was fresh and luxuriant, and he
thought they'd perhaps do all right
without water. After they had been
there week he went t. see them and
was surprised at their gaunt appear
ance. He Immediately took them out.
In taking them back to their creek
pasture he had to pass large public
water tank. He said it was surprising
to see them crowd up to that tank to
slake their thirst. They lowered the
water in the tank five inches before
leaving it. Ewes sucking lambs espe-
cially need water. They may possibly
live without it, but they'll certainly
bring little or no profit to their own
ers. The question of profit and loss
aside, as a matter of humanity sheep
should never be compelled to go with
out an ample supply of pure water.

Selecting the
Well Bred Horse

If a horse is short ribbed he is light
in his middle and is nearly always
poar feeder, says bulletin issued by
t0oAnadian government. He has not
k1Dach to contain succuient food
taAoo him from one meal to another.
49, ssutered horse seldom weighs
U(A aAd weight in a draft horse, if it
eanes from bone, sinew and muscle,
goes long way to determine his
commercial value.
When horse is well coupled to-
gether on top and has short back
he must have the length below from
the point of the shoulder to the back
Of the thigh. When so built he will
stand the strain of drawing heavy loads
much better than if he has a long,
loose back. The front feet and hooks
are the parts of either a draft or a
driving horse that come directly in
contact with the hard work, and un-
less they are sound and good a horses
usefulness win be very much impaired
and his commercial value very much
lessened.
Before using the stallion get the
groom to lead him away from you.
Stand square behind him and see that
he picks up his feet and places them
on the ground properly, travelling in
both trot and walk clear and clean,
not striking the ground first with the
toe and then bringing down the heel
The feet SHOULD be large and waxy in
appearance. The sole Of the hoof
should be concave, the frog spongy,
plump and elastic, because it acts as
buffer to take the conclusion from
acting too severely on the foot, pas
tern and fetlock. See that both sire
and dam have sound feet, free from
fatness, brittleness and not contract
ed. There should be no "gumminess"
about the hooks Of the draft horse, as
it indicates coarseness. They should
be wide, especially from a side view.
A stallion whose feet are contracted
and brittle and whose hooks are puffy
and fleshy looking should be avoided,
as such hooks are generally associated
with coarseness throughout his whole
conformation and general lack Of
quality.

Effect of Feeds on Manure.

EHCCG OF reeuS Oh MdAuIcs
In feeding animals or buying feeds
one Is very likely to consider only the
feeding of fosh forming value Of the
feeds, not taking into consideration
their effect on the value Of the manure
produced. When more manure is need
ed than can be made and the supply
has to be frequently supplemented with
commercial fertilizers the purchase Of
high priced feeds rich in fertilizing ma
terial is oftentimes the most economical
on account Of the increased value Of
the manure they make. Another i'm
portant fact is learned from the amount
Of fertilizing elements in both the solid
and liquid excrements. The larger
part Of the nitrogen, the most expen-
sive element, and most Of the potash
are given off in the urine; hence the
Importance of saving all Of this most
valuable part Of the manure. Not only
are other elements found in large guam
titles of the liquid, but they are in
much more available form than in the
solid-C. D. Woods, Maine Experiment

CARE OF MILK.
Some Good Rules by . State Da1ry
Instructor.

Some Good Rules by . State Da4Fy
Instructor.
Remove the milk of every cow at
once from the stable to a clean, dry
Eoom, where the air is pure and sweet.
Do not allow cans to remain in stables
while they are being filled.
Strain the milk through metal
gauze and flannel cloth or layer of
cotton as soon as it is drawn.
Aerate and cool the milk as soon as
strained If an apparatus for airing and
cooling at the same time Is not at hand
the milk should be aired first This
must be done in pure air, and it should
then be cooled to 40 degrees if the milk
is for shipment or to 60 degrees If for
home use or delivery to factory.
Never close a can containing warm
milk which has not been aerated.
If cover is left off the can piece of
cloth or mosquito netting should be
used to keep out insects.
If milk is stored it should be held in
tanks of fresh, cold water, renewed
daily, in a clean, dry, cold room. Un-
less it is desired to remove cream it
should be stirred with tin stirrer of
ten enough to prevent forming thick
cream layer.
Keep the night milk under shelter so
rain cannot get into the cans. In warm
weather hold it in tank of fresh, cold
water.
Never mix fresh, warm ltilk with
that which has been cooled.
Do not allow the milk to freeze.
Under no circumstances should any
thing be added to milk to prevent it's
souring. Cleanliness and cold are the
only preventives needed.
All milk should be in good condition
necessary to deliver twice day during
the hottest weather.
When cans are hauled far they should
be full and carried in a spring wagon.
The Utensils.
Milk utensils for farm use should be
made of metal and have all joints
smoothly soldered. Never allow them
to become rusty or rough inside.
Do not haul waste products back to
the farm in the same cans used for de-
livering milk. When this is unavoid-
able insist that the skim milk or whey
tank he kept clean.
Cans used for the return of skim
milk or whey should be emptied and
cleaned as soon as they arrive at the
farm. +.
Clean all dairy utensils by first thor
oughly rinsing them in warm water;
then clean inside and out with brush
and hot water in which q cleaning ma
terial is dissolved; then rinse and, last
ly, sterilize by boiling water or steam.
Use pure water only.
After cleaning keep utensils invert-
ed in pure air and sun if possible until
wanted for uses. G. Thompson,
Maine State Dairy Instructor.

Amateur Essays.

Apropos of extravagant education
there is no more utter waste, wheth-
er in board schools or those of
higher class, than essay writing by
children. A poultry paper quotes a
little boys effort on that subject.
"Geece is nasty animal, for they
will jump up your back and beat
you with their feathers" writes this
budding literary genius, and E'the
turkese is a large kind of hen"
This may be an extreme instance,
but it furnishes the text for an es-
say on "geece" Of quite another
kiad.-London Sketch.

Sheep on Small Farms.

Many farmers entertain the opinion
that it is not profitable to raise sheep
on a small farm, but they are unable
to give a satisfactory reason. Those
who have tried it find that there is
nothing else they can raise that pro-
duces so much profit, for the sheep Is
the cheapest animal in the world to
grow and gives the producer double
compensation = mutton and wool. A
good eve will produce lamb worth
as much as or more than herself every
year and besides supply enough wool
to more than pay for her keep. At the
same time she consumes weeds, brush
and other troublesome things about
the farm which other animals will not
touch.-Shepherd's Criterion.

FEAR As TO STABILITY OF CROSSING

Mill creek at the intake of the new
gravity water system just above the
Stahl ranch is flowing three times the
amount of water the city proposes tc
take for the new SYSTEM" said Mayor
George Kellough this morning. Mayor
Kellough, Councilmen Tausick, Bach
told, Glasford, and Kirkman returned
to the city yesterday evening after
spending the day inspecting the new
pipe line.
I'VE did not measure the flow ol
water at the intake, but I am salts
fed it is three or even four times
what the city proposes to USE" said
Mayor Kellough. "a new weir has
been constructed just above the in
take. This is 16 feet wide, and water
to a depth of 10 inches is flowing
through it as good rate of speed"
See Plenty OF Water.
Members of the council who made
the trip to upper Mill creek yester.
day estimated that at least 36,OOO,OOO
million gallons of water are flowing
through the weir every "a hours. As
the city intends to take between
100000 and 100000 gallons day,
only, members of the council ex-
pressed to opinion that the shortage
would be hardly noticeable further
down stream.
Members of the council who made
the trip along the pipe line yesterday
are noncommittal as to what future
plan of action has been decided upon.
All admitted that the work was pro-
crossing possibly as we'll as condi-
tions warrant, although none of the
members appeared over enthusiastic
over Engineer Thompson's plan off
carrying the pipe line across Mill
creek at the Wickersham bridge.
Floods Menace.
One member said he believed it
would have been better to have car
ried out the original plan of construct
ing the pipe line along the north bank
OF Mill creek its entire length, than
to have crossed the stream, as has
been done. Members of the council,
as well as others conversant with the
eccentricities of Mill creek, admit
high water will menace the pipe line.
The council will meet in regular
session this evening and some report
will probably be made by the mem.
bers making the trip yesterday. In
addition to the regular council meet
ing the council will convene as a city
board of equalization to finish several
matters connected with the 1906 as
sessment.
