jures them. Close confinement and
close houses for them to roost in
often causes roup and other diseases
OF that character. Feed should be
given them In their shed only. They
will get considerable outside. The
Protected Feeder. placed about fifteen
20 eighteen inches high. is the best
device for feeding them in. A gallon
bucket hung fifteen inches high is all
right for water. They require but
little attention after they get able to
fly. Before that time they must be
protected from rats, minks. etc. We
have lost very few. a few by minks
while young, and few by thieves
after they were grown. Roomy, well.

Sheep In sprinatime.

Many have been planning for early
lambs, and these will soon begin to
come. There Will be money In them
II they are properly cared for and
brought TO marketable age. One
be the most careful attention paid to
the diet OF the mother sheep II we
would keep the lamb growing as II
should. II is trying time OF the
year for ewes. They cannot get the
fresh grass they need to supply milk
for their young ones. We must supply
1t, for II eve once falls In her milk
before going out TO pasture. 1t will
be almost impossible to bring her
up again in time to make much OF the
lamb. A stunted lamb Is about as
miserable n thing as the farmer can
possibly have on the place.
How shall we supply the needed
substitute for fresh feed? In my
opinion there is no better way than
this: Plan ahead to have a lot Of
nice clean clover hay. Put this some.
where in the barn so that It will not
get used up till It is needed at the
critical time in spring When the
lambs come. begin feeding this clover.
Then, too, give now and then few
turnips or small potatoes. These will
taste first rate to the sheep and keep
the flow of milk up. AS regular ra.
ton ! feed oats one day and wheat
bran the next. prize these two feeds
very highly. Oats are especially
rich and the wheat bran tends to pro.
mote activity Of the bowels, as well
as possessing milk.producing quail

Matino Birds.


In the mating OF birds care must
be taken that the fowls employed in
making up the breeding pens are of a
character adapted to the work they
are supposed TO do. IL man is mat.
ing his birds for the production of
show birds 1t will be a mistake for
him to select good layers on the pre-.
sumption that good layers and good
form 60 together. A high.scoring
bird is more than likely to be poor
bird. provided that she is old, as the
act OF reproducing puts the body
out OF shape for the shows. Breeders
find that the best looking birds are
sometimes the poorest layers, and
that II they are to select birds for
breeding up strain of egg producers
1t is necessary to take birds that are
not good producers OF eggs. The man
that Is trying to build up large flock
Of egg producers will have to select
for breeding birds those that have
shown themselves great producers of
eggs. Yet we know that many that
are trying to get strains Of birds that
will be more than ordinary producers
Of eggs are depending on the score

STOCK.
Catering to the Mexican TRADE.

The business OF supplying cattle
for the Mexican trade has been our
business for about twenty years past.
and In that time a man should get
himself established. We saw our hrst
Brown Swiss there. and learn to judge
them as they are valued there. our
herd was established in 1890. some'
times numbering over 100 head. Right
now | think we have only 20 or 10.
We raise all the good calves we can.
and buy on the outside when we hnd
cattle OF sufficient quality at prices
we care to pay. These cattle nave 10
be prepared before we can ship them.
This takes anywhere from six months
10 two years time feed and care. we
do not ship In the fever sections. but
go TO higher attitudes where It Is
cooler. We never unload our cars In
Texas, but go whizzlng through. Our
Swiss are used for milk, beef ana
work. They make hardy, strong. dur
able oxen with which the land Is
TILED. We find them splendid mixers
and making good beef. They are also
rapid growers. responding promptly to
good feed and treatment. We often
have them weigh 1000 pounds at one
year of age.
The Mexican trade Is not what II
once was. There have been many cat
tie imported there direct from Swift
zerland. so they are mucn more plen'
tiful than they used to be. The cost
of transportation used TO be about $50
per head, but now II is less, say about
$40. Then one has to pay 8 per cent
commission for sale. besides feed and
stable bill. Sometimes one can sell
for cash. but often It is on time. The
prices vary according to quality and
age. When | get sl25 net for my
10 or ls-months' youngsters. let
them go. This is about $500 Mexican

speciSl animals higher. To do that.
some one has to be on to his Job.

know a customer who will pay for the
quality. We turned on young COW
once for $500. l5.months' bull for
$3.50. but $500 each for bunch OF 10
or IL is not to be. turned down In
these days.
However. we ship FIVE Holstelns to
one Swiss. They go especially for
the dairies. not for the farmers and
work. but for milk only. Quantity.
not quality OF milk. sells the COW. We
only ship springers and want them TO
drop calves inside n month from ar.
rival. We ship from 800 to 400 head
each year.-Harry Mccullough, How.
