Canadian Experiment Station.

In laying tho foundation of the hocl
the ewes should be selected as uniform
In character and quality az possible.
The first few years should be de-
voted to improving the eve flock This
is moro cnslly achieved and far less
costly than ram breeding. inasmucf
as sircs suitable for getting good ewes
never command such high figures as
those likely to bcget high class rams.
In the selection of sires [ argue In
favor OF choosing robust rams. In no
case let tho fashion lead the breeder
to forget that the ultimate object in
breeding sheep is to produce mutton
and wool at a minimum of cost.
Some rely little on pedigree. others
much on form and symmetry. but the
power of a carefully bred sheep TO
stamp a flock must be insisted on.
The selection OF sircS during tho
first few years is not difficult mat
ter, but in after years it Is very trou-
blesomc.
Should a direct blood cross be sought
or a slight line outcross, l am inclined
to the latter view.
Breeders should be in no hurry TO
dispose of rams in service. as some
times lambs OF little promise develop
into good sheep.
When mating ewes. flushing-i. G..
placing them on fresh pasture or fold
ing on rape. mustard, kale, etc.-iS con-
sidercd a good practice.
II usually results in an early and
prolific crop of lambs.
After service breeders recommend
that the ewes should be removed to
poor pasture. In practice IL has been
found 10 prevent turning, and in tho
case of large f1ocks can be carried out
without trouble,
Extra feeding at about tipping time
results In larger crop OF lambs at the
subsequent lambng
As to the date OF mating, II varies
considerably. Dorscts going to the ram
In June, while many of the breeds are
not mated until October or November
For show purposes ewes are generally
mated three weeks earlier.
In the treatment OF in-lamb ewes
in carly autumn sound old pasture or
second years seeds provide all that is
required. and as winter approaches a
few roots-prefcrably white turnips or
cabbage-may be given daily. with
little hay.
A fun supply OF roots is not recon-
nended Some months prior to lamb
Ing little trough food is sound econ
omy, as the lambs arc healthier and
the ewes stronger for the treatment
1t is OF Importance that no crushing
shall take place at the trough. The
fold should be arranged to open to the
south. To be perfect the inclosure
should have spared. raised floor. in
sections. made of creosotcd wood, so
as TO be easily removed and cleaned.
The ewes arc not thus so apt to con- !
tract foot-rot Among the necessary |
precautions in the lambing fold are

FEEDING NEW CORN

In feeding now corn tho whole stalk
may be used as hogs. cows or horses
VIII cat nearly the entirc plant, deriv-
ing much good from it.
The cornstalk when green and in tho
roastlng-ear stage contains much sweet
juice that is fattening.
My practice is to thin the corn at
this time. feeding the stalks cut out
and allowing the remaining stalks TO
mature larger cars.
In this way much valuable carly feed
is obtained. and at tho same time the
thinning OF the corn is good for the
remaining crop.
When thinning corn for carly feed
ing do not be afraid OF cutting out any
large weeds that may chance TO be in
the corn. Tho late e-maturlnS corn
needs all the moisture and plant foods
that can be spared from the soil,-H,

FOSTERS FORECASTS

washington, d. c., Sept. 4.--Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance
to cross continent Sept. to 9, warm
wave Sept. to g. cool wave Sept.
to IL. This disturbance was expected
to cause a great rise in temperature,
generally dry weather and severe
storms in the great central valleys
About Sept. severe storms were ex-
pected in and east of the Alleghanies
and from the crest of the Rockies to
meridian 90. Light frosts were pre-
dicted for middle provinces and ex-
treme northern sections OF the u. S.,
middle northwest about Sept 5.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about Sept. 9, cross Pacific slope
by close of Sept. 10, great central val
leys Sept. IL to 13, eastern states and
provinces Sept. Ia. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about Sept. Q, great
central valleys, longitude los to s..
about Sept IL, eastern sections Sept
10. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about Sept. ~, great central valleys
Sept. IS. eastern sections Sept. Is. This
will be the most important disturbance
of the month. A great high tempera-
ture wave win precede low--commonly
called the storm center-and that low
will be followed by great and Sc
we're cool wave. 1t will probably be a
cold wave in some parts Of the spring
wheat sections Of the middle provinces

THE SWELLDOM

Such will be the title Of new es-
tablishment which win open it's doors
to Fargo public about Sept. Is. s. l..
Segelbaum of New York city, who has
been in the ladies furnishings business
for the past ten years in the east
and VINO has kept in the forefront
with the demands in these lines, has
secured half the store of the Patter-
son Millinery Co. and elegant fixtures
are now being installed to properly
display the swell lines of suits dresses,
mantals, skirts, waists and furs
It is proposed that the grades will
be little finer and newer, more swell,
and in fact exclusive to the degree that
Fargo mas not seen the like before. 1t
is thought that Fargo can support such
an exclusive, excellent shop as not
only Fargo's elite will appreciate it,
but those from over the state who
have made the twin cities headquar-
tiers will now find their highest desires

and will carry killing frosts farther
south than usual in the states. More
general rains than will have fallen
during the previous thirty days may
be expected from Sept. III to 16 and
the last half of September win average
cooler than usual.
Severe storms are scheduled for
Sept. 10 to Is. These am not now
able to locate except that they will
occur on the continent in or near the
storm center which call the disturb
ance and the weather bureau calls 1t
the low. A tropical storm off our
southern coasts viii probably develop
not far from Sept. is. The August
drouth in the corn belt was correctly
foretold more than a month in advance.
That drouth damaged corn more than
the spectators seem willing to admit.
A conspiracy was developed to run
corn down to so cents, Chicago prices,
and 1t came near being a success.
My advice to farmers is not to sell
corn till the new crop reaches 10 cents
at Chicago. August weather greatly
damaged that crop. The country is
short on all kinds OF old grain and the
three great cereals should bring, at
Chicago, Acc, Toe and $1.25.
The great spectators are now try
ing to manipulate prices downward so
as to get the farmers crops at low
prices. Old corn is scarce and prices
of corn fed hogs and cattle must go up.
