CARE OF BREEDING SHEEP.
Liberal Feeling Necessary to Pre-
pare TDcm For Lambing

pare TDcm For Lambing.
Breeding ewes require ten to fifteen
square feet of space i'll building, and
ewes weighing from $50 to 200 pounds
should have an allowance of LIS feet at
the feeding rack writes John 4. Craig
In the Farm Home. Less than this
causes too much crowtiing at feeding
time, which often results in the birth
of dead lambs.
Breeding ewes need not be fed more
than twice daily 1t is a good practice,
however, to feed them some fodder
outside during the winter season, for
in this way they are induced to take
some exercise. With this in view the
fodder may be taken some distance
from the building in which the sheep
are housed.
In practical way the shepherd
should regulate the quantity Of food
according to the condition of the ewes
If they have gone into winter quarters
in thin condition they should be fed
more heavily than it they were fat at
that time Handling the ewes at inter
walls furnishes the best indication as to
their condition. and this will Indicate
the quantity of food that should be
fed III the authors experience the
aim has always been to keep the
breeding fiOcks in q condition which
the general farmer would term fat"
and only good results in lambs have
come from this management.
When ewes are firm fleshed through
abundant feed and exercise they are
vigorous. and a healthy flock of lambs
is likely to be the outcome In general,
a breeding eve weighing 100 pounds
requires daily about One-half pound OF
such grain as bran and oats, two
pounds of succulent food and the same
weight of such dry fodder as clover,
hay or cut corn fodder AS lambing
time approaches twice this amount of
grain will be required. The quantity
of the fodder and grain will have an
influence on the amounts to be fed. but
the controlling factor should be the
condition of the ewes Overlooking,
especially if associated with lack of
exercise, will be productive of disease
in the flock, and it is likely to result in
the birth of large weak lambs, while
undertaking is equally favorable for
disease and the birth of understood
lambs

WOuIdn't Eat EeES.

A we'll known naturalist tells of an
experience in the Hebrides last sum
mer. eve saw great numbers Of cells
actually leaving the sea and ascending
a small clear stream which formed the
outlet to a shallow loch,' he writes.
"They varied in size from mere
threads to specimens weighing two to
three pounds each. The migration con-
tinued for whole week, and one day
we succeeded in capturing half score
about fifty yards away from high tide
mark. These were offered to a high
land shepherd, who, with a shrug and
a grimace, said, Och, sir, | would
ifefer eat snakes.'''

The FARMERS BULL.
A Little Enterprise Needed to Secure
BluOdcd Stock.

1t is not enough for the dairyman to
use only bulls of some Of the dairy
breeds, or the beef grower to use only
bulls of the beef breeds, says a Breed
er's Gazette correspondent. The farm
er who keeps Il few cows is up
against real difficulty when lie tries
to keep pure bred bull. He must
have more than common COWS OF many
of them to justify tie buying and keep
ing of high priced bull. If he has
neighbors who will pay Il suitable fee
for service he may be able to come
out even and have the satisfaction of
seeing his and his neighbours cattle i'm
proved. But he must be Il man Of
more enterprise and ambition than the
average If lie persists in his good I'M
dertaking.
That combination among small farm
ers is the best way to get the use of
pure bred bulls we firmly beiieve.I 1t
not only makes the burden lighter Oh
each, but helps to promote public
spirit in the work Of stock improve
ment which is of great value in the
community. The ideal community is
approached when every farmer III it is
interested and will use bull of the
chosen breed of the neig,DOrhO0d.
When the farmers Of any township or
county once agree upon combining on
one breed and use only pure bred bulls
of real excellence, then we shall hear
from them no longer the vail that
there is no profit in cattle and it does
not pay to buy pediSrecd bulls.
A little more enterprise is needed
along with the desire for better stock.
With these there would be more good
bulls used by farmers combining and
purchasing pure bred bulls Of decided
merit TIVE or three ncigEbcTs can
own 2 good bull at less coSg 10 each
than for each to own ole Of inferior
quality. The cost CT keeping enc pure
bred is only one-third Is much as l,te
keeping Of three monGre!s. are! he pace

give less trouble. Combin@t;o" is The

OLIVER CROMWELL.
The Greatest Error of His Career
Was Charles Execution.

The greatest error of CrOmwell's life
was the execution of the king. Not
that in this he showed himself a man
of blood. There was in him not a
particle of the terrorist or of the pas
sion for regicide which slew the help
less king of France. He had been pro-
yoked no doubt by Charles double deal
ing, but he did not hate him; on the
contrary, he was inclined to him and
had wished to come to terms with him.
Himself trimming with family affec-
ton, lie had been touched by the sight
OF Charles with his children. He was
tmpelled to the fatal act by what seem
ed to him fell necessity and by the un-
cOntrOllaDle wrath of the army against
the king, whose perfidious machina-
lions, while he was treating with the
parliament for settlement, had kim
died the second civil war, with the
Scotch invasion, and brought them and
their cause once more into the extrem-
ity of peril. 1t was at the prayer meet
ing of the soldiers at Windsor, before
they marched against Hamilton, that
the kings doom was really pronounced.
The secret treaty with the Scotch for
the invasion of England brought
Charles to the block, and his offense
surely was capital, though it's punish
ment was most i'll advised. The death
of the captive king set the king free
and absolved the monarchy; it put liz
expiable blood between the regicides
and a great part of the nation, and
f1unkyism, far from being sickened, as
Carlyle says it was, f1ourished on the
martyrd0m and has continued to -four
ish on it ever since. The success Of
Ikon Basilike was the proof.-Goldwin

WAITS IN AUSTRALIA.
The State Finds Them Good Homes
and Has No Orphanage.


Australia is q continent without an
orphanage, a country without an or
phan. Each waif is taken to a receiv
ing house where it is cared for till a
country home is found. The local vol
unteer societies canvass their neigh
borhoods and send to the children's
committee of the destitute board the
names of any families they have
found where children may be placed.
The children's committee selects the
home which it judges is best adapted
to the development of the child in
question.
No child is placed in a family SO
poor that the child might suffer. The
foster parent receives sum averaging
$125 per week for the care of the
child and for proper clothing. When of
school age the child must be sent to
school The local volunteer committee
looks after it's care and culture, and
jealous neighbors often assist in watch
ing the growth and education of these
happy children.
When the child is fourteen years old
he begins to work. His earnings are
placed in the Postal Savings bank, and
at the age of seventeen or eighteen he
goes out into the world an independent
man. The state, at an expense of less
than $40 a year, has raised a man or
woman to contribute to it's wealth and
prevented the manufacture of a crimi
nal and the EXPENSE of courts, prisons
and refOrmatOrieS.

The Silo and Milk Production

Stock do better if they have some dry
feed and some sUcculent food. Com
is the best crop of which to make
silage. while hay Of some kind should
be used for the dry f0dder-Farmel s
Advocate.
Value of Si1age the Farm.
Silage is especially valuable to the
dairyman who is carrying on winter
dairying, increasing the flow of milk
much over what can be obtained by dcy
feed alone. Fattening cattle make moce
rapid gains when a part of their ratiCn
is silage. Young cattle and sheep are
better and more cheaply fed when
part Of their winter feed is Silage Some
men have fed it TO horses and report
good results.
Helps Cut the Pasture.
Silage is not only good winter feed.
but there is nothing better to feed dairy
cows to help out the pasture III times OF
drought and short feed, says Farmers
Advocate. In fact, silage is so palafa
BILE and COWS like it so we'll that they
will eat some of it with great relish
when they have good pasture There
are many daiTymen who feed silage as
a part Of the daily ration every day in
the year, and they are some Of the most
successful dairymen in the country
ReIished by the Stock.
Silage seems to be a sort Of appetizer.
1t is not only easily digested, but it
appears to aid in the digestion of other
foods fed in connection with it.
Glover silage.
. Glover makes good silage, but we
must have some dry fodder to feed
with the silage and generally you can
make hay or field cured clover great
deal easier than you can corn, so we
had better make the corn into siIage
and the clover into hay, although clo~
yer makes good silage if it is properly

Cement P1astered SiIo.
A Pennsylvania correspondent of Ru-
raj New Yorker says: helped to build
cement plastered silo last summer.
The plan was by foot studding one
foot apart, ten feet high and twenty
six feet high. We made a concrete
bed, and the carpenter made a ring
with notches one foot apart. There he
set the studding in, and then he put
2 by piece between each stud every
thirty inches, spiked with twenty
penny nails and two iron bands around
the sUo screwed together. On the in
side We used ceiling lath four feet long,
soaked to bend them in, and a five
penny nail at every stud, and two coats
u cement the last one flowed down.
and the next day cement wash to
close every crack. This one gave pcr
feet satisfaction. They filed i II
