The early French settlers in Canada
came principally from the provinces
of Normandy and Brittany in France,
which lie near the Channel islands,
the home of the Jerseys and Guern-
seys. The cattle of the mainland and

and those which the colonists brought
to Quebec, and from which the pres

later gaunt armies of the confederacy

to thrive on it as we'll as on clover
hay or corn fodder Be sure to save
some clover hay until lambing time,
as the ewes will give more milk for
the lambs on clover than anything
else. For grain ration a mixture of
shelled corn, oats and bran makes an
excellent feed ration. Do not neglect
the bran part, as that keeps the sys-
TEN in good condition and aids diges-
tion. Commence feeding grain to the
ewes in time, so they will not run
down and get poor before lambing
time. A poor eve cannot take proper
care of her lamb, for she has nothing
to draw on.
II you have comfortable quarters,
so you can take care of the early
lambs, you will find that March lambs
are the best for market or breeding
purposes, as they get more size by
fall and are ready to eat grass when
it comes, the cheapest feed on the
farm.
Use good, pure bred ram on the
flock. as the improvement in quality,
size and feeding capacity of the lambs
will more than repay the extra ex
pense and you are getting a better
flock instead of running them down
as with scrub.
