NOTES ON SHEEP RAISING

Weed out the flock every year.
Give ewes a run in fields in good
weather.
The ram should be full Of grit but
not treacherous.
Don't keep too many sheep and keep
none but the best.
Do not keep ewes as breeders after
they are years old.
1t is folly to expect profits from lamb
that are off condition.
The eve should be as near ike him
as possible in characteristics.
DON'T buy any sheep from the stock
yards and take them onto your farm.
AS soon as a eve turns down the
other side of life she is no longer re-
liable. breeder.
While wool cannot be grown at a
profit, we would make it pay the ex-
pense of producing the mutton.
If you will sprinkle a little salt on
the Canada thistles in the sheep pas
ture the sheep will quickly exterminate
them.
Do not let ewes and lambs run on
Did pastures SO full of parasites, which
will prove very destructive to young
lambs.
The business of growing young lambs
for fancy trade requires no eXpen-
Sive equipment or elaborate houses, but
good warm pens and scientific care and
feeding.

FEEDING FARM STOCK

If you must buy economical feeds
make careful study of their relative
value and buy that which will supply
the largest amount of digestible mat
ter.
Alfalfa meal when honestly made is
a great feed for cattle or hogs. Farm
ers viewed it rather skeptically at first
but it is bound TO make its way into
general favor.
More lambs will be fed in Colorado
on beet pulp this year than ever before
Farmers out there are learning how to
produce the finest mutton in the world
on pulp and alfalfa without using any
grain whatever.
Eastern farmers are better root grow
ers than those of the west. Having
less land at their disposal they are
forced to grow something to take the
place of grain, and experiments show
that animals can be fattened almost
exclusively on roots.
There is likely to be a great deal Of
soft corn in the west this year, bu
Iowa experiments a few years age
proved that when reasonably sound il
has excellent feeding qualities, al,
though more -sughage is required thar
when soune ! SKY eecn is fed.

WORKING NOTES OF THE DAIRY

There is close connection between
clean milk and a clean conscience.
We can't blame the COW that kicks
the man who allows her to go around
with sore teats.
On many a dairy farm the manure
pile represents the larger half of the
profits. Better take good care of the
manure.
No man can afford to feed high quail
ity feed to a low quality COW. but a
good many dairymen keep on doing it
right along.
While the dairyman must work Sun
days and holidays. he is certain of his
money whether the wind blows high
or low, whether the crops areSgood OF
bad.
1t is rather hard to be asked to buy
white duck trousers for mixers willis
selling milk at something less than
cents a quart to dealers who double
their money on it,
An Iowa official says the trouble with
the dairy business is that as soon a.
the dairyman gets comfortably fixed ht
quits the business. Seems to us thi.
isn't a bad recommendation for the
dairy business.
Governor Hoard says one might a.
| well try to feed horse enough to make
a two minute trotter of him as to try
| to feed poor COW enough to make
good one of her. A poor COW was born
that way and will die that way.

bees to become restless and crawl out
side of their hives
After a number of colonies are put
into cellar the temperature will be
several degrees higher than it for
merly was on account of the warmth
of the bees. The bee apartment should
be so situated as not to be subject to
constant invasion by individuals when
going to the cellar proper for fruits,
vegetables, etc.
If a person has a great number of
colonies to winter indoors it would
no doubt be an advantage to build a
repository in side hill and have a
doorway at the lower side level with
the ground, so that there would be
no necessity for stairway.
! Whenever the weather turns cold
and the indications are for its con-
tinuance the hives can be picked UP
from the bottom board and carried
very gently into the cellar.
Great care should be exercised at
this time not to arouse the bees. We
do not want them to fill themselves
with honey, as it will probably be five
months or more before they will have
cleansing flight
The work can best be performed by
two persons. For carrying the hives
from the yard to the cellar I use a
carrier that is made so that two hives,
or even three if they are not too heavy,
can be carried at once by means of
| handles similar to those of a wheel
barrow that project out at each end
1t requires two men to carry them
| in this way, but if the hives are at
some distance from the cellar it is, I
| think, much better to use something
of this kind instead of wheelbarrow
as with carrier the bees hardly seem
to know that they are being moved
Lay on the cellar floor two joists
or wall strips on their edge. Place the
hives on them six or eight inches apart
The next tier Of hives is placed on the
top of the first tier, each hive resting
on tie two under it; the next tier is
| followed up in the same way until
you have them as high as the cellar
will permit.
| The reason for this manner of piline
is to give the bees ample bottom ven
| tilation and to allow the dead bees
to drop out of the way. This will also
| permit the beekeeper to inspect his
bees at any time. BY taking a dark
lantern and holding looking glass
under the hive he can see right up into
the cluster.
Have a thermometer in the cellar and
try to keep the temperature between
40 and so degrees. Visit the cellar
occasionally to see if the bees are quiet
| If they seem to be uneasy at times a
little more ventilation will probably

L. Powell, and which is in fine bear
ing form to-day. These trees have
been kept in condition by spraying
and cultivation. Some people imagine
that when an orchard is once planted
it must, in the course of nature, pro-
duce fruit without further attention.
But the folly of such belief is shown
in the thousands of dead and unclean
orchards all over the land, pitiful mon
uments to mans stupidity and in
attention.
Orcharding is a good business when
conducted as intelligently as any other,
but the orchardist must help his trees
by Waging unceasing warfare upon
the scores of enemies which beset them
in all seasons.
When it has been repeatedly proven
that apples will yield from 500 to
$1,000 an acre according to the methods
of their owners, the Indifference to
this branch of agriculture is shocking.
One does not need to be an enthus-
last to be a successful orchardist. al
though how a man who takes suf-
ticient interest in his work to make
his orchard successful can help becom-
ing an enthusiast we cannot under
stand. All that is necessary to make
orchards pay is a knowledge of the
principles of drainage, the soil, Gull
tivation and the habits of insect en-
emies and energy sufficient to pillow
and prune and spray

TuRNIPs EASY TO GROW

Turnips are easily raised and they
furnish a good, succulent food for COWS,
hogs and sheep in winter. 1t is true
that they are low in nutritive elements,
but they are good appetizer and what
nutrition there is contained in them
is digestible, so that there is no loss
of nourishment when they are fed.
Turnips may be grown after an early
potato crop has been harvested. have
seen very nice, large turnips grown
from seeding as late as Aug. 20.
good grade of superphosphate APP
piled at rate of 800 to 400 pounds per
acre will usually prove profitable.
The soil should be made very mel
low and smooth, the seed sown evenly
with special care not to get sod too
thick. Then care should be exercised
not to cover the seed too deep. A very
light barrow or a bush should be
dragged over the ground to cover the
seed.-A. ]. Legg, Albion, w. Va.

SNAPSHOTS OF FARM LIFE

The pure thought law has been in

here to stay and under proper control
will prove a blessing to us ALL because
it will bring better country roads.
In the south the 9OO-pound mule is

Some farmers are always ready tc

their wives to buy a clothes wringer OF

The runt pig is not always to be

Score one for the rural route! A

| farmer folk keep their minds clearer
| and their hearts sweeter because they
| do not come in contact with city vices
The pure food law has accomplished

Ii you turn out the colts for an air.

Nail strips of tin along the edge of

to break a young horse of such a habit.
A cleat an ipch thick and three
inches wide nailed up close to the bot

Have the sides Of your stalls we'll

out that they can crowd the partitions
out of place and once they get that
habit they will make life miserable for
you.
Some horses have way of throwing
their hay out on the floor the first
thing they do after feeding. If you
feed through a chute from overhead
you will be free from this difficulty. If
not the best way is to build rack in
front of the horses of round hardwood
poles an inch or two in diameter, run

secured at both ends.
