Ii Is altogether probable that many
stockmen will feed sheep this fall for
the first time. and they may not be
acquainted with all the conditions
leading to the best and most promis-
ing situation IN feeding lines. The
first thing TO determine Will be what
TO buy. SAYS the Homestead. Wilt it
be thin sheep or those that carry
more neshs Thin sheep will gain
more than fat ones. the general thrift
of the two classes being equal. Thin
ewes will gain from onc-fourth TO
one-third more than those in good
flesh, and this probably explains why
the thin. gocd-mouthed ewes are
sought more than those In better con-
diuon. It is well-known fact
among sheep feeders that females
flush much more quickly than males.
although thin two or three-year-oid
wethers will make rapid gains.
We have said that thin sheep will
take on flesh faster than the sheep
that Is IN good 0yder. and We may say
that Il win require more time 20 fin.
ish them than those that are partially
fat Young lambs usually require
moro time 10 finish than older sheep
because they grow considerably
under fattening conditions before
they begin TO finish. Old Westeru
sheep are harder than lambs, and
this will hold true in the field as vel
ms in the feed lot Older sheep are
not nearly SO liable TO gorge them
selves on green feed or SO liable te
oyer-eat while IN the feed lot.
The feeder should make up hi:
r1ind that when he is feeding thir
sheep it win be necessary to feed
them a long time. II sheep are to bt
fed only short time. they should bt
partially fat when purchased. Thir
ewes can be started by turning then
in corn fields, grazing them on goot
pasture and by feeding fodder.

As IL well known ants are especially
fond q. the nectar secreted by those
insects Some years ago colony Of
Liberian coffee trees were started In
the greenhouse. At the bases OF the
leaves OF these coffee trees can be
found very small nectar-secretine
glands. The ants soon discovered this
and slipped the nectar. Then the
idea seemed to occur to some clever
ant that these nectar glands would
be the best place In the world for the

in consequence secrete great deal
more nectar than they would If left
on other parts ~ the leaves. But
the nectar glands on tho coffee tree
leaves were each too small to ac-
commodate even one mealy bug. SO
the word was passed around and the
ants gnawed the edges OF the glands
and enlarged them SO that each would
support a good-sized mealy bug.
which the ants then carried TO It,
The mealy bug throve exceedingly.
The gland was enlarged still further
and a whole family of mealy bugs

Why is it that so many farmers
neglect to provide water for their
hogs? Hogs need drink OCCASION
ally when they want it, just the same
as anybody else.
The scratching shed does not re-
quire to be anything elaborate. Any
old building may be utilized for this
purpose Just so there is plenty of
sunshine. no winds. and dry floor.
Give hens an extra allowance of
grain at night. scratching it amongst
the litter. so that the fowls can be
induced to exercise before they get
their regular breakfast.
Give the mother sheep the mos.

need it for milk. Wheat bran is
