down. their corn fields with sheep in
large way expect to have certain
per cent die the first two days simply
from overeatlng. Heretofore the
profits in feeding sheep have been SO
large hat they could afford to stand
this loss rather than take the pains
necessary to avoid it. With sheep at
present prices it pays to get them on
full feed gradually.
Don't compel your ewes to pass
through narrow doors or gates If
you do, you may figure on more or
less abortion This seems very sim
pie matter and a fact which sheep
farmers are not likely to learn until
they are taught it by hard experience.
If you have a gate of the ordinary
width and start your flock through it
when the ewes are far advanced in
pregnancy, you may count certainly
on having some losses. This can
easily be avoided. Make the gates
through which sheep pass sixteen feet
wide If you do not, and compel them
to pass through narrow gates, they
will go in a bunch in their eagerness
to get through, and in this way will
suffer damage.
Don't have any knot holes or wide
cracks or breaks in the floor of your
lambing pens. This is another of the
simple things that we found Out by
experience If lamb gets it's foot
down in these holes or cracks you
have broken-legged lamb, which will
probably die unless you put splints
on it and give it special care
In handling lambs be careful about
leaving water tanks open, unless pro-
tected in some way so that the lambs
cannot get more than their noses in.
We had to learn this also by expert
ence. The sheep were watered out
Of an ordinary tank, around which
there was platform high enough to
enable the sheep to drink Out of it,
and the first thing we knew we had
four Or five lambs drowned by jump
ing into the tank
DO not have lambs come in Febru-
airy Or March, unless you are prepared
to give them proper shelter and per-
sonal attention at this time. If you
are going to save your early spring
lambs you may figure on being up
with them more or less at night
Figure also on making arrangements
for reviving chilled lambs, either by
taking them into the house or having
a box with hot water bottles, by which
means you can supply the necessary
heat until the lamb is able to suck.
This is whole lot better than bury
ing the lamb in the manure pile, as
we have seen done in February and
March,
Don't keep dog unless he is sheep
trained. In the western country many
farmers have Collie dogs trained for

dlC, uOWCVCI, lCW Suggestions DdStu
on our experience that we might offer.
Don't get too many A flock OF
twenty-five will increase quite as fast
as the average farmer will be able
to learn how to handle them. We
know Of no business in which there
are greater returns for the money in
vested than in this, and we know none
which so absolutely require that the
right thing be done at the right time
and in the right way. So don't start
with too many.
Don't keep your flock on the same
pasture for more than two years, for
the reason that it will certainly be-
come infested with the stomach worm
and will then be 'sheep sick" All
sheep carry more or less stomach
worms. These do not seem to injure
the oldest ones nor the very strong
ones, but are sure death to the weak
lings, particularly late lambs AS we
have stated before, the pastures be-
come infected from the droppings, and
he worms multiply rapidly, especial
y IN wet seasons or where the sheep
have access to slough water Were
it not for this, blue grass pasture would
be ideal for sheep.
Where a man can have two blue
grass pastures on which he can range
his sheep at different periods of the
year this evil may be avoided In our
boyhood days sheep were the main
class Of stock kept on the farm, and
we had no trouble in those days with
stomach worms, perhaps because the
sheep were Of the Merino variety and
less subject to it, but more probably
because there were two pastures, one
for summer and another for winter.
On the ordinary western farm this
pest, stomach worms, can be very
easily avoided by sowing rape in corn,
in oats, or in spring wheat three
weeks after these are sown, and the
sheep given the range of the farm.
Every farmer nowadays, whether he
is engaged in growing sheep or not,
should have woven wire fences not
only around the farm, but around each
field and thus be able to put stock
in any field whenever he wants to and
be sure that they will stay there.
Sheep don't require very much grain
except when being fattened, but when
they are fed grain it must be sound
Therefore don't expect your sheep to
thrive if you give them moldy oats or
hay, or any kind of inferior grain or
forage. They demand the very best
that there is.
furthermore, don't give your sheep
an excess of grain at any time. If
you do, you are very likely to have
some dead sheep on your hands The
sheep is good deal Of a pig in a
way, eating grain that it likes, such
as corn, until it is gorged. In fact,
there is more danger of overlooking

LOCAL TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Editor News
1t is not our purpose to make any
meritorious mention or direct any
words of praise toward any person or
persons not justly due such, but we be-
lieve few complimentary expressions
on the telephone service this place is
now enjoying, is not out Of place lat
this time. In the beginning, when the
Columbia Telephone Company solicited
the services of Miss Lorena Pile as OPP
orator, they certainly made a wise Sc
lection from the fact that her popular
ity with the subscribers and pataQns
began with her first day at the ex-
change. She is prompt, courteous and
obliging, and to sum up the many ex-
pressions of those who have occasion
to use the lines great deal. she is un-
doubtedly giving entire satisfaction to
all concerned.
Mr.. Rob Reed, the night operator, is
young man who thoroughly un-
derstands his business. He is ever
ready to accommodate, and the swift
est way to dispatch business isnone too
swift for him. The General Manager.
Mr.. Henry N. Miller, is one of the
best telephone men in this section of
the state, which is evidenced by con-
tinued increase of business the compa-
ny is enjoying. And to his untuing eff
forts are due the excellent local and
long distance service that Columbia
now has.
