he farmer simply took what was
offered him and has never been IN
position to control or even in remote
way increase the selling price of his
product. Spasmodic efforts have been
made to form organizations, but they
have always failed because thew were
not founded upon correct business
principles. During the past five or six
years, however. farmers have been
more successful in their efforts in this
direction. They are learning wisdom
from the trusts and the railroads and
everybody else who has been fixing,
prices for them.
The idea of national organizations to
control prices has been practically
abandoned and small companies to
regulate prices in certain sections or
communities or states are being
FORMED. These are easy to manage,
Fhey effect better results and in time

In these organizations the politician
ana the Windjammer have been forced
10 take back seat. In many instances
hlgh class business men who are ia
miliar with all the conditions of trade
IN the cities are employed by the farm
RS to manage their companies. The
buying and selling is placed in their
hands and wherever this has been done
the results have been of the greatest
benefit
The farmer has been the country's
OK and its ass long enough. He has
sustained every industry by his own
labor and has been poorly paid He
mas been long time in waking up,
but at last he is beginning to realize,
faintly as yet, the possibilities of the
benefits that may come to him through
wise, moderate and just combinations.

EWES TENDER IN WINTER
Require Good Care to Keep
Them in Condition to Bear
Fine Lambs in Spring.
~ DIR. A. B. ALEXANDER, VETERINARIAN
WISCONSIN EXPERIMENT. STATION.

The annual mortality among preg-
nant ewes is serious, and much of it
prevertable by more sane methods of
management. First, it should be re-
membered that every pregnant animal
should be supplied with sufficient nu-
tritious food for its own support, and
1t is carrying.
But the feding of the unborn foetus
should really commence before it is
conceived; in other words, ewes should
be led extra before and during the
breeding period, so that they may store
up in their tissues nutrients to draw
upon when the foetus needs them.
This extra feeding of ewes is termed
flushing, and the ram needs the same
treatment. and both ewes and rams
should have 1t all through October or
the mating season, and then receive
sufficient good food during winter time.
Many farmers seem to think that If
pregnant eve is given all the tim
othy hay, straw or corn fodder she will
consume she is being generously
fed. This is a dire mistake. Nothing
is more sure to lead to trouble than
the feeding Of too much coarse, in
nutritious fodder to the in-lamb eve.
Mixed timothy and clover hay is
suitable and should be substituted for
timothy hay. Alfalfa hay also is suit
able and should be substituted for tim
othy hay, and there is nothing against
the addition of bright corn fodder, pro-
vided such foods form but part Of
the ration and great care is taken
to keep the bowels properly regulated.
To this end some succulent food
should, If possible, be supplied. AL
falfa acts fairly well, but it must be
free from mold: this is also true of
clover. Moldy hay commonly causes
abortion or other troubles among preg-
nant ewes.
Roots or nicely made silage or cab
bage serve well to vary the diet and
regulate the bowels. Salt should be
supplied as a necessity, but avoid salt
ed hay, which may produce abortion.
The next point to avoid is crowding
in dirty, damp, hot badly ventilated
stables. Such places are death to preg-
nant ewes. Exercise in the open air
is imperative. The ewes should have
a shed to run to or a comfortable cor
raj where they will be sheltered from
driving winds, wet and snow. Wet
kills.
Fresh air and cold are wholesome for
all sheep. Every day they should be
outdoors when the weather will allow,
and the only unfavorable weather is
that which is wet and when harsh
wind blows across the snow Even then
they may be outdoors if they have
good windbreak and open shed. A
grain mixture should be fed to preg-
nant ewes Equal parts whole oats
and bran, with an addition of 10 per
cent oil cake or oilmeal, will prove
suitable Drinking water should be
plentiful and pure. Lastly the ewes
should be gently treated and without
chasing and logging.

Frost bites and eggs never go to-

Almost any kind of a house may be

PRUNING THE GRAPE VINE

This important work should be done
IN the very early spring before the
sap in the vines starts. There are two
pruning methods which comprise about
all there is in grape pruning wisdom.
One is short spurs of not exceeding
three buds each, variously disposed
along two or more main arms, which
are retained year after year.
In the other the new canes are left
from six to sixteen or more buds long.
but their number rarely exceeds four,
all other canes being cut off entirely.
The illustration shows a large con-
cord pruned to two short spurs two
years in succession Grape pruning
should not be undertaken by anyone
not thoroughly familiar with all of its
requirements because more harm than
good is often done by inexperienced
men.

The most popular method of growing
Strawberries are the ngle-hedge,
double hedge and narrow matted row.
The illustrations show perfectly how
each should be trimmed.
Whichever system is adopted should
be carefully adhered to and after the
particular form has been completed all
runners that appear thereafter should
be rigidly cut off.
If the hill system of growing straw
berries should be preferred then all
of the runners should be cut off. 1t
is wise to decide now on the method
to be adopted for next springs work
and once having settled upon a plan,
nothing should be allowed to interfere
with it.
