equipped with a sash that may be
closed in severe weather.
Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with a barn cellar in
which the flock has been kept with
varying success. The barn cellar Is
an excellent place for sheep if rightly
arranged. There should be plenty of
openings to the south, allowing sun to
reach all parts Of the stable so as to
keep it thoroughly dry. Thorough
drainage is essential.
There must be ventilation at the
rear of the stable. A bad practice is to
keep the sheep in stables on stable
manure, says Farm and Home. The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture of wool. A hint which has
been worth many dollars to me is to
use only long straw, hay or weeds for
bedding sheep. If short straw or saw
dust is used it gets into the fleece and
is an everlasting nuisance.

Good Sheep Barn a Poor One.

Good Sheep Barn 81 Poor One.
A good sheep barn is poor one.
This may seem to be absurd, but the
facts support such statement. There
is no question but that many f1ocks are
rendered unhealthy and therefore less
productive by reason of too close
housing. In few sections do sheep need
more than a windbreak and rain shed.
Some of our best shepherds have kept
their tlocks for decades with only such
sheds as would prevent the flock being
exposed to direct winds, rain and snow
storms.
The cut shows the type of sheep
barn found on the farm of a success
full shepherd, which might be copied
with success. In this instance the
sheep are kept upon forage crops grown
in four adjacent lots. The flock may
be turned into any lot at pleasure.

Roots for Farm Amin Is.

If roots are stored in pit in the
field a high, dry place should be
chosen. If the ground is clayey the
roots should be placed on top OF the
ground. If it is gravelly and drainage
is good a shallow pit about feet wide
and of necessary length may be SHOW
eled out The roots should be carefully
placed in a gable shaped pile about 5
feet wide and as long as convenient. A
thin layer of straw should then be
laid over the pile and this covered with
six or eight inches Of earth Another
and thicker layer of straw and final
Iayer of earth will complete the work.
Ventilators should be placed at inter-
walls of ten or fifteen feet, which should
be closed when sweating has ceased.
The pit should not be opened on warm
DAYS In winter. A ditch for drainage
should be cut around the pit. Roots

Profitable Cattle Feeding.

The Missouri Experiment Station at
Columbia has issued a very elaborate
and handsomely illustrated bulletin on
the most successful methods of fatten-
ing cattle, by Dean H. J. Waters.
This bulletin summarizes the expe-
rience and conclusions of about 1000
of the most experienced and successful
cattle feeders of Missouri, Illinois and
Iowa, and contains also a summary Of
the results Of large number Of tests
with different kinds of feed, different
ages of cattle, etc, conducted by the
Experiment Station of Columbia.
1t considers such practical questions
as the most profitable age to fatten cat
tie, the proper weight, the best season
of the year, the best method Of pre-
pairing feed, the best of shelter, the
market demands, the best sort of
roughness, etc. 1t is illustrated with
cuts Of the different types of beef
cattle, including excellent illustrations
of the fat steer herd exhibited by the
college this season at the Interstate
Fair, Kansas City, the Missouri State
Fair, Sedalia, the American Royal,
Kansas City, and the international
Live Stock Exposition, Chicago. These
steers won nine championship prizes,
seventeen first prizes, sixteen second
prizes, seven third prizes and two
fourth prizes Every steer won at
every show excepting one steer in one
show
