HEAL TIL OF SHEEP.
Feeding With SuccuIent Food Best
Preventive Of Disease.

~ CNSftAiSC VI A<ISSdSGs
a prominent sheep breeder in an adj
dress recently given before d live stock
convention called attention to the fact
that the common diseases affecting
lambs and sheep do not easily yield
to treatment, and because of this
greater emphasis should be placed on
preventive measures than with any
other farm animal
Attention was called to the fact that
the main trouble resulted from nodu-
lar disease infection and from internal
parasites. In order to prevent these
the matter must be taken up in the
to prevent the introduction of the eggs
or germs of these diseases in the
stomach. Unless very large pastures
are available, so that the sheep and
lambs will not spead much time on
any particular part of the pasture, the
belief was expressed that it would pay
to use hurdles.
This is the old country method. which
has worked well on farms that aver
age fewer acres than the farms of the
central west. The whole management
must tend to keep the lambs healthy,
and for that reason the customary
plan is to allow the lambs to pasture
ahead of the sheep This is done by
moving the lamb hurdles ahead of
the sheep, so that the lambs are Civ
en- the fresh pasture first and the
sheep allowed to follow the next day
BY so doing 1t was stated that the
nodular disease can be eventually
completely stamped out
Rather liberal feeding of fresh sue
culent food is In itself good precau-
tionary measure against disease. and
for that reason sheep growers gener-
ally can afford to take special pains in
getting a stand of good clover for
their sheep and lambs and, in addi-
ton, grow crop of rape. The sue
culency of these crops and their rich
ness in flesh forming material tend
not only to rapid growth, but, as said
before, they contribute to healthful
ness and thrift.

TAXING AGRICULTURE.
National Master Bachelor Would Ex-
empt Growing Crops.

eHPl GfoWin9 drops.
From an address by National Mas
ter Bachelor before the national con-
ference on taxation at Columbus. o.,
we make the following quotation:
From whatever point of view the
taxation of farm products is consid-
cred, the conclusion seems to me. to be
inevitable that such taxation has no
redeeming features by which it can be
justified, and / would most respect
fully submit to this conference for its
consideration the proposition that the
public welfare would be advanced by
adopting generally some of the exemp-
tons of farm property now contained
in the laws of the several states SO
that the following property should be
exempted in all the states:
''First-All growing crops and all
crops for short period after harvest
ing.
'Second-All animals raised for
food purposes under a certain age
''Third.-All far1n work animals
should be declared TO be tools of indus
try and brought within the exemptions
now granted to tools. and the value of
tool exemptions should be expanded SO
as to include the value of such work
animals.
s'These exemptions, operating on all
alike, would benefit all the consumers
Of the country as well as farmers. thus
Including the entire population"

THE SHEPHERD.

One farmer recommends as pre-
yentive of ravages on the sheep fiocks
by dogs that the sheep owner place
with his flock goat that will get
along very well with the sheep and de-
fend them from the dogs.
A Breeders Advice.
A successful sheep breeder says: Do
not breed to a dry fleeced ram. The
sire is the proper improver. but in or
der to be such he must be a good in
diyidual and descend from the best
lineage. Study sire. dam and blood
lines. Have right ideal and breed
to produce it. Honesty is of as much
importance in sheep breeding as it is
anywhere else.
Feed For Sheep In Milk.
For sheep in milk the best feed is
whole corn and oats, equal weight
giving all the animals win eat up
clean To add succulence to the feed
yellow Swede turnips sliced fine are
also good. Alfalfa hay should also be
given in abundance.
Graduating From the Pasture.
lambs going on feed at the barns
should be taken from the fields grad
ually, so that the first night and day
continuously at the barn will not give
them gaunt appearance. When they
come to the barns from the pastures
they should find good hay in the racks
but in small quantities. If the hay is
not eaten up clean before they go to
the field, what is left should be taken
out of the racks and fresh put in be-
fore the lambs come to the barn again
If they are TO be fatted. as soon as
possible a little corn should be put in
the racks with the hay. The amount
of corn should be small at first
Excellent Pasturage For Sheep.
The best pasture that we have ever
used for our sheep, says Northwestern
Agriculturist. has been some sown
crop. like oats, mixed with rape
Young standing corn MAJ u an excel
lent pasturage. Their close bite does
no harm, and they do not tranpie
down your feed as cattle do. Sheep.
as is well known. are superior stock
to turn upon grainfield after harvest
They love the weeds. Here is the
great benefit upon the farm in keeping
sheep About the only weed that they
won't eat Is the thistle. They convert
an undesirable growth into good
meat and wool Fields that are to be
so cleaned, however, must be properly
fenced

Columbia's city schools will begin

The corps of teachers has been Sc

the coming session promises to be one
of the best in the history or ths
schools. The attendance promises &c
be larger than ever before and It Is
believed that the reorganization OF
the High School or change OF plan fol
employing teachers will result in tna'

EARLY CORN is
NEEDING RAIN
DRouTH MAY ALSO INTERFERE
WITH THE SECOND CROP OF
IRISH POTATOES.

Crops, and especially early corn, are
suffering, for the want Of rain. me
early part of the season was one Oh
the rainiest ever known and for that
reason the crops cannot stand the
drouth that they can where there Is
little rain in the early spring. Grass
and hay crops have not so far oeen
affected by the lack of rain nor mas
the late corn felt its effects. HOW
ever, should there be no rain FOR
week longer the crops will very Sc
yerely feel the drouth. But with an
abundance of rain from now on the
corn crop in this county will be one
Of the best ever known. The pros
pects are most flattering. In fact up
TO this time there has never been
better season for all crops known IN
this section. The potato crop was es'
pecially favored by the wet Spring
but lack of rain is going to interfere
very materially with the planting oil
the second crop.
