BEGINNING WITH SHEEP.
Skill In shepherdins Is the keynets
to Success.

Skill In shepherdins Is the ksynets
to Success.
Let me advise the beginner to start
with few sheep, says W. C. Coney
of the University of Illinois. Observe
them closely and often and attempt to
learn their natures. This more than
anything else will teach you how to
manage them. You do not have to live
with them, but as an old successful
shepherd said, 1.-THE shadow of the
shepherd should be over them" The
anticipation of their ills and needs is
the highest test of the shepherds skill,
should set out to learn.
The keynote to successful sheep hus-
bandry anywhere is skill in shepherd
ing. Careful selection of foundation
stock is all important. The ewes should
be strong in constitution, healthy and
active. By the term healthy we mean
that they be free from such internal
parasites as stomach worm. tape worm,
ETC. The farm that has not had sheep
on it for number of years is usually
clean, and if the beginner introduces
no infested sheep upon his farm he
greatly reduces the chances of attacks
from parasitic diseases. Active ewes
with strong constitutions usually nurse
well and impart rapid growth to the
lambs, which is a very important fac
tor in making lambs prime for an early
market where they nearly always sell
at fancy prices.
One of the Best Crosses.
One of the best crosses is to breed
good, pure bred ram of any Of the
Down breeds upon ewes having a
strong infusion of Merino blood. Be-
sides weight of fleece the Merino also
imparts hardness, while the Down
blood secures a carcass which meets
with favor on the market. Beware of
indiscriminate crossing OF the use of
inferior grade rams, because either
method results in lack of uniformity
and quality in the flock.
Helping Out the Pastures.
Aside from allotted pastures, the
flock should have a chance occasionally
at the neglected places. They enjoy
cleaning up such corners. Rape and
cowpeas or soy beans sown in the corn
just before the last cultivation furnish
excellent forage in early autumn for
lambs retained for yearlings. Often
the breeding ewes can be given a brief
run upon this sowing to flush them in
preparation for the breeding season. A
small acreage of winter rye serves
we'll to satisfy the ewes and lambs in
early spring until the pasture grasses
have reached sufficient growth for
grazing. In winter feeding, if the
grower has some leguminous hay, such
as clover or cowpea hay, he may use
the grain that is cheapest and easiest
available

Orchards In Grass.

he is strong, and the Rhodes require

player. He played on the football
team that Dick Smith coached two
years ago. as an end in the Multno-
