THE SHEEP EARN.
A Mistake TO Close 10 In summer.

Mistake 10 Close 10 In Summer.
sheep Need IL.
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-
uce 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 I'm so
doing serve a double purpose. During
the summer the sheep barn should serve
as protection against excessive heat
and drenching storms. 1t can be made
a more adequate retreat during the
heat of the day than is possible for the
nock 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
Is 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 durlng@um.
mer. The sheep barn affords a means
through which parasitic trouble can
be eliminated in a 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 is allowed access to the
sheep barn a disinfectant can be an.
piled effectually about 1t. Then, too.
the occasional visit to the barn gives
the owner chance to examine his
hock 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 ventiIa-
tion should be afforded and litter used
frequently and abundantly underfoot

HE FEEDER

Now that Scotch topped cattle have
become so fashionable it is interesting
to recall that the root crop is to the
Scotch farmer what the corn crop is
! to the feeder in the American corn
| belt. The Scotch feeders are so ac-
customed to the use of swedes that
they can hardly believe that cattle can
be made fat during the winter season
on ration which does not contain at
least half hundredwelght of them.
While they sometimes change the
! roughage and concentrated feed in the
rations, they never leave out the roots.
Liberal Feeding.
No man who does not profoundly be-
leve In the doctrine of feeding farm
animals literally should make invest
ment In pure bred stock of any kind
Our principal breeds of live stock have
been built up by men taking advan-
tage of hereditary forces and by the
scientific use of feeding stuffs.-Kan-
sas Farmer.
Feeding by the Scales.
The stockman and feeder who knows
definitely when the limit for profit has
been reached without the aid of scales
when finishing stock for market is
rarity. Even the most expert in esti-
mates will often find himself deceived
with unusual animals when the scales
are consulted. The most prevalent mis-
take made by haphazard feeders, and
one that results In tremendous losses
throughout the country is that of mar
keting stock few weeks too soon
just before they are properly finished
Hogs In Summer.
Through the summer-May, June,
July and August-feed hogs but once
a day, after the sun has gone down.
that is, IL you have nice large pas
ture. After shutdown your chickens
have gone to roost and your hogs get
the corn. They sleep all night, get up
the next morning and go out in the
pasture and eat grass with the cattle
