There was no special celebration of
the anniversary nor any candles

however, that what Uncle Joe really
would like would be to have certain
gentlemen of the house, whose names
will not be mentioned in this presence,

collect from them one blue chip for

they are removed at once to other
quarters and given proper care.
Never keep a larger flock than your
land will justify; better too few than
too many, and then see that what you
have are kept in Al condition. No
breeder can have success without
some painstaking in the observance
of the above rules, and the nearer he
clings to them the better he will sue
coed. The most critical time with the
flock is along about the lambing time,
for it is then that the entire profits Of
the flock may be lost. We believe
fully 40 per cent. of the lambs are lost
in this country through neglect, and
every lamb lost equals the loss of a
five-dOllar bill. A few weeks before
the season for lambs and ewes should
be fed some hay with crushed corn or
oats mixed, and in connection with
these small rations of root CROPS will
be beneficial. Too much corn, how
ever, should not be fed, as it is weak
ening when fed too largely. This
treatment will insure strong, healthy
lambs. The lambs should not be al
lowed to become stunted in any way.
Keep them growing right along. Pro-
vide lambs shelters where they can be
kept separate from the sheep, in

SHEEP PAY BETTER
THAN OTHER ANIMALS
The Wool Pays Expense of Feed
Profit, and Requires Little Care-By j. H Hynes

No farm animal pays the farmer
better than flock of good sheep. The
wool pays the expense of feed, the
lamb is clear profit, and the foraging
work the sheep does in the way of
cleaning up pastures, fence rows, etc,
saves much labor to the farmer-and
adds materially to the appearance of
the farm, says J. H. Haynes, in Rural
New Yorker. A good portion of the
year they are self-supporting and, bar
ring raids from worthless dogs, they
need no watching. A dog proof fence
around the sheep yard and a good
rifle are about the only means of de-
Tense from these ours. Sheep thrive
on such a variety of foods that any
farmer. regardless of what kind of
soils he may have, can provide for
their wants. Glover or COW pea hay,
corn silage or fodder, turnip, sugar
beets, sorghum hay, clean straw, with
feeds of ground corn, oats or bran,
and occasional feeds of oil cake will
keep flock in good health and condi-
ton. In our sheep experience we find
four or five rules that must be closely
observed
Sheds are built on high, dry ground,
with protection on northwest and east
sides. These sheds are kept free

This indigestion caused palpitation of

wore my clothes very loose, and many
other remedies, but found no relief.

them in place of my usual breakfast Of

one weeks time was relieved Of sour
stomach and other ills attending indi-
gestion. In months time my heart
was performing its functions naturally
and could climb stairs and hills and
walk long distances.
