SUCCESS
WITH SHEEP.

Learning of the methods which have
brought success to other business men
has helped many beginner to improve
every opportunity while making his
own start in a llfe's undertaking
To become a true master Of sheep
breeding it requires the desire to do it
correctly and to persevere for many
years In continuation. 4 solid founda-
tion is the first and greatest Of all re-
quirements, 50 do not start in a hurry,
but do 1t well, says a writer In the
Shepherds Criterion. A few ewes Of
undeniable breeding and correct indi-
vidual merit are more to be desired
than a larger number Of inferior ones.
Books and articles have been written
on this subject and have done great
deal Of good in scattering practical
ideas among fresh minds, but your
best way TO gather the most reliable
and practical Information Is TO visit the
best breeder within any ordinary dis
tance by rail. Go and stay day or so
and have a few hours conversation
with the breeder himself, and there you
can learn Of practical ideas which 1
have given good results both in feed
ing and breeding. BY personal inter I
view numerous things can be learned /
which are hard 10 tell on paper.
No matter whether you are making
purchases or not any large breeder
will be only too pleased to have you 90
through his flock. II you are cOntem-
plating the founding of a flock or are
new breeder, you viii be greatly profit {
ed by a visit to the largest and most
breeder within your reach, (
and If You are an old breeder you {
would enjoy seeing how others do [
things. Sometimes | think that breed t
ers miss a great deal by not having 7
their efforts more united More visits Q
with each other would bind them il

FEEDING THE CALF.
fs<glect In This Direction the Cause Of
Many Ills.

Many Of the ills Of calves arise from
giving them milk in poor condition. AT
the creameries the watts are sometimes
allowed to get in a very insanitary
state. They are not emptied and scald-
ed out with sufficient frequency, and
I sometimes washings from the utensils
are dumped into the watts. In some In
stances the milk is drawn back and
kept for a day or two before it can all
be fed. 1t has time to become acid
and otherwise deteriorate and when
fed In such a condition does not make
very good food for calves.
The best skimmilk that can be OBJ
talned for calves IS that which has been
obtained from new milk run through
the separator soon after It has been OBJ
talned from the COW, says Professor
Thomas Shaw. II is then fresh. 1t is
Of proper temperature or nearly so and
is In its constituents almost as good as
new milk for promoting growth. If |
the pals in which 1t is kept are scald- |
ed, then the danger from bacterial CON /
is obyiated.
The temperature at which milk is |
fed Is matter Of much importance. /
Gold milk lowers the temperature Of
he stomach and through It the temper
lture Of the body. Though no further
larm should be done, the lowering Of
he temperature Of the body means
more food, as before any gain can re-
suit the temperature must become nor
nal, and this means that it IS made 50
1t the expense of food. MIX from
what IS known as the setting process II

STABLE WINDOWS.
They Should Be High Enough 10 Pro-
tect Animals From Drafts.

NtIh SnlfHdlb TTOHl GTdTISs
The absurd little window In front of
each horse in the old fashioned farm
stable Is positive abOmination. True,
It allows the festive hen to enter and
the same time foul the manger and
contribute lice 10 the other miseries of
the I'll treated horse but the worst
fault Of the window is that when the
wind happens to blow cold and raw, as
1t il apt to do during the sudden
changes Of temperature in summer and
fall, the horse is exposed to a most
injurious draft striking directly upon
the chest, where 1t will be apt to do
the most harm. The eyes, too, may
suffer from such draft, and taken
any way one likes there Is neither use
nor sense In such cOntrivance.
The stable should have the main win
dows back of the horse, and 10y prefer
cnce toward the south, says writer
I'm Rural New Yorker. The windows at
the front Of the stalls should he above
the heads of the horses and should be
projected by wooden Stats or wire graf
ing so that when they happen TO be-
come covered with hoarfrost I'm winter
the glasses VIII not be broken 10y the
horses licking them. II Is best to have
the windows hinged at the bottom so
that they may be opened inward in
such way that the wind striking
against them from outside will be di-
rcctcd upward against the ceiling in
stead OF downward upon the horses
To prevent the side drafts boards
should bc so arranged from the wall
that when the window is opened they

Cost Of Cow Testing.

Some attempt 10 reach the cost Of
systematic COW testing has been made
at the Wisconsin experiment station,
which institution IS doing the testing
for a number Of herds at cost. AS
result Of its experience the station
charges So for a one day test, IS for
two day test, s25 for a seven day test
and $50 for a thirty day test. These
figures cover all cost to the owner and

A farmer who has been breeding
hogs for twenty-five years and has
been unusually successful was asked
how he did it. His repl2, in substance,
was that he provided gond, decent quar-
ters, plenty of shade, good pasture, a
variety Of good food, good water, al
ways fed for vigor and gave the hogs
regularly ashes and charcoal. This is
all simple, but all good.

One acre Of alfalfa in good growth

In selecting a hog never pick out
one that has very large bones, big,
round hind legs, under the impression
that the hog is strong and is going to
stand up. Simply because a hog has
got large bones is no criterion that
he will stand up.
