KEEPING Records of Ewes.

Ewes are of little value unless they
can make profitable returns for the
owner. Many ewes cost from " to 30
annually, and to give profitable re-
turns they insult be able to yield q
heavy fleece of a No. quality OF
wool and one or two growthy lambs
There are very few ewes that have
such records, and consequently the
real profits from sheep in many nocKs
are not as high as desired.
The only way to select prohtapie
ewes is by keeping records through
out the year. The yearly record OF
a eve will show her worth and also
the likely worth of her progeny as
breeders. In small f1ocks 1t Is very
easy to keep an account OF each sheep,
but il becomes more difficult as the
flock increases. In either case, now
ever, it will pay to number the sheep,
either by notching the ears or oy
the use of a metallic ear tag.
At shearing the amount OF WOOL
shorn can be secured and by tagging
each fleece, when sorted, the grades
into which each goes may be noteo'
and this, together with the price,
added to the record.
Some sheep are very irregular IN
their breeding habits, coming in sea-
son two or three times before con-
ception, and some never conceive, bar
renness being due either to Inherit
ance or mismanagement. In sucn
cases extra labor in completing breed
ing operations for the year becomes
annoying, to say nothing of the plans
that are upset in having lambs at
all times during the spring and lambs
of different sizes throughout the sea-
son. The barren ewes produce only
their f1eeces, and that does not pay
for their keep.
Whether inheritance, feeding, vigor
of the ram, or some other cause in
fluences the single or twin lambs that
are produced, records can be pre-
sented that show twin lambs from
many ewes for two and three years,
while others continually show but
singles. Further, some ewes are al
ways heavy mixers, motherly in dis
position and always raise lambs to
maturity.
The man who can show a flock OF
ewes every one of which shears a
heavy fleece o. good quality, raises
one or two strong lambs annually and
doe it without undue effort on the
part of the shepherd, has developed

and wheat in the order named above.
5. Lambs gain faster and more
economically than do wethers.
6. Light, thin lambs cannot be fat
tened sufficiently in three months to
command the best price in the mar
ket.
Z. In one experiment in feeding 100
wethers for IS days, so wethers, fed a
maximum ration of one-half pound of
grain a day, gained as rapidly and
made as economic gains as a band OF
healthy wethers. Being small and
thin, however, they would have to be
fed at least twice as long to get them
to market.
