FEEDING THE STOCK

When you we:.n the colt give him
plenty Of oats, and he will go through
all right, but no other grain will take
the place Of oats.
Fattcning Hogs on COttonseed Meal.
In fattening hogs on cOttonseed meal,
saws Farm and Ranch, don't add any
wheat bran, but corn chops will be alb
solutely necessary. The wheat bran is
too filling in its effect and not rich
enough in nourishing material for fat.
tening hogs. Use one part of cotton
seed meal to four parts Of corn chops,
well soured, and give as thin slop.
Wheat Bran Good For FOais.
Bran is very suitable as supple
mentary concentrated food for weaned
foals and young horses, says Farm
Progress. There is nothing better than
q little bran for mixing. with the crush
ed oats when foals are being brought
on to solid food, bran being easily d.
gested by foal when the latter is able
to deal with solid food. In the case of
sick horses and those that are cOnva-
lescent the inclusion of some bran In
their diet proves very beneficial. On
account of its palatability bran tempts
the appetite of sick horses more easily
than other dry foods.
Ration For the Horse.
From ten to twelve pounds of oats,
divided into three feeds, should be suffi-
Gent concentrates for the carriage horse
for one days feeding, says Farm Jour
nal. From ten to twelve pounds OF hay
should be allowed In order to bring the
total weight of the ration within the
limit of twenty to twenty-five pounds
Bran mashes, fed once or twice week,
have cooling effect upon the system
Part Of the hay may be cut and mois-
tened before feeding. the remainder be-
ing fed long, as the carriage horse has
plenty of time for masticatlng his food

prOntnble Geese.

Seeing how profitable geese are ana
the little attention they require as COM
rared with other poultry, it is some
what surprising there are not many
more geese bred. They are grazing
stock. like horses and cattle, and dur
ING the warm weather will feed eagerly
on the Succu!cnt grasses which grow
on the banks OF ponds and streams, ana
they will seldom refuse the heritage
founll Oh the roadways. This FOOD,
with other materials picked up. will
generally keep geese in good condition
during the summer and early autumn,
little or no grain ration being needed.
When the female has laid about doz-
en- eggs she generally gets ready to in
oubatc, but should not be allowed to do
so, rs geese. like ducks, are poor sit
tcrs and make bad mothers. Put the
eggs under hen and get them Matched
as early as possible, for early goslings
make tho largest and finest birds. Cos
iings, generally speaking. are very
hardy and are not difficult to rear The
best food for them at first Is hard boil
cd eggs chopped fine, breadcrumbs and
short, sweet grass. AS in the case OF
chickens, the coop must be kept dry
and warm. but it is imperative that wa
ter be generously provided if there IS
no pond or stream handy. Water for
swimming IS not essential for geese.
but they must have plenty to drink and
also some they can have bath in

niyff3irC the Flock.

There are a few things that one must
get ready for the flocks use In winter.
The first thing to consider is space.
says Michigan Farmer. Twelve square
feet Is ample room for a breeding eve
in winter quarters. The flock can all
remain together until the lambs begin
to appear. In some cases it is good
thing to divide the ewes that are about
to lamb from the flock. Sometimes the
flock must be divided into two or more
classes. A good division would be the
main flock, the ewes that evidently
will soon lamb, the ewes already land
cd. These divisions may be best made
by use of panels or by the placing OF
the feed racks. Permanent divisions
are not advisable since the areas OF the
spaces will be constantly changing.

Winter Care of Sheep.

1t is poor economy to let the sheep
live on the frozen grass-if the ground
is free of snow-after winter has set in
and Tie other thinly clad stock are
safely housed, says e. Van Alstyne In
Rural New Yorker. True, such grass
will fill them, but there is great diff
ference between filling and feeding. 1t
will also contribute much to their COM
fort. as we'll as to the pocket OF the
owner. if the dirty wool Is clipped
away from about the tail. If the hoofs
have grown long on the ends or sides,
this growth should be pared off with
good sharp knife. Then keep plenty
of pure water where the sheep can
have access to 1t at all times, box Of
salt sprinkled with turpentine to which
they can run, clean, dry bedding to lie
Oh. with all food removed that has not
been eaten the previous meal.

History Of
The Shropshire

About 100 years ago there were i'll
southern England II number OF shep-
herds who owned hocks which were
rich In Southdown blood, writes a COR
respondent of Shepherds Criterion, but
these sheep were small and sheared
light fleece, so their owners desired 10
increase the size of both carcass and
fleece. WITH this object in view they
went TO the leading Leicester breed
ers in parts of England lying farther
10 The north and selected very choice
rams to cross upon their smaller ewes.
This crossbreeding and improving
were continued for Il number OF years,
and then the breeders had sheep which
were nearing their ideal-a sheep with
good size, very dense fleece of me-
diuIl length and first class mutton
carcass. These sheep were being bred
on chalky hills and so were necessarily
very hardy, but were not bred for such
extreme size as that Of the Lincoln,

Doctoring Poultry.

Doctoring fowls or chickens after
they are really sick is generally by no
means very encouraging process to
undertake. 1t often costs more in time
and drugs to cure n sick fowl than the
bird is worth after 1t is cured, but still
a little timely knowledge of symptoms
and their proper remedies handy will
sometimes save fowl. But to be sue
cessful you must fight any poultry dis
ease at it's very outset. When disease
appears do not wait till tomorrow or
the next day to see if it will wear off, y
as if you do it will wear OFF, the fowl.
You should at once search out and re-
move the cause and give the proper In
gradients before the bird is beyond
cure.-A. V. Meersch.

best and most economical substitutes

Feed For Fattenins Lambs.
Dry corn gives better results than
soaked corn for sheep, owing to the
better secretion Of saliva in eating the
dry grain. Oats prove a satisfactory
ration when given to fattening lamDs'
but it requires about % per cent more
oats than cora for given gain. IL
requires about twice az much corn az
bran for lambs. Roots should be fed
in combination with grain. A ration
Of equal parts corn and oats or TWO
parts oats to one Of corn, fed WIN
roots, is an economical ration for rst'
tening lambs.

Leicester and Cotswold, which are ma
tured where feed is much more plen-
tiful and where the sheep do not have
to rustic to get 1t.
This new sheep was meeting the ap-
prevail Of many farmers and was con-
sidercd to be q 'happy medium" as 1t
would be termed nowadays. There
were getting to be so many OF these
sheep that it was found necessary to
give them name. AS they were quite
popular in southern England, especial
ly in Shropshire, it was decided to call
them Shropshires, and so it is today.
Improvement was kept up vigorously,
and in the year 1853 Shropshires were
given q classification at the English
Royal agricultural show. A flock book
was. established, and the breed was on
solid footing
In 1884 Shropshire record was es-
tablished in Indiana This association
has grown so rapidly that now there
are between 5000 and 1000 members,
and it has issued certificates of regis
try for about 215,000 sheep.
