Sheep seem to have the call now,
and wise was the farmer who started
flock a year or two ago.
One way Of keeping the boy on the
farm is making him feel that his adj
vice and help are needed in running It,
1t does not pay to feed lice on 90
,ent corn or on any priced corn for
that matter Are your stock suffering
from vermin?
The hog market has been reported
weak and lower so long now that 1t
must either give its last gasp or get
better pretty soon.
The very first symptom of kicking
should lead us to dispose of tie animal

risk it with horse that kicks.
The young animals should be turned
loose in a roomy shed in the winter.

Halter-pulllng is a bad trick In a
horse. Often it is brought on by care
less usage in the stall. Never do any

quarters and clean food, with pure wa
ter, some grit, vegetables and green cut
bone or meat meals.

soft TO ship" Up TO the present time
