Because a home is in the countryside
cause 1t is on a farm-is only an added
reason why it should be more up-to-date

spend more time in their homes than do
those who live in cities.
And it is also true that farm homes and
farm life is daily becoming more and more
attractive. The inside of our house is our
home, so why not make it nice and at
t%ractive, homely and cheerful, up-to-date
and modern.

MUCH DIFFERENCE IN LAMBS
Man to Be Successful in Sheep Raising
Should Have Much Affection
for Lambs.
BY G.. f. MORTON, COLORADO AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGEl

CBY G. f. MORTON, COLORADO AGRI-
CULTURAL COLLEGE.)
There is a great difference in lambs
Some come strong and some come
weak, and some never breathe at all.
in the latter case there usually has
been something wrong with the care
of the eve; either her feed has not
been right or she has been hurt in
some way, OF she was long in lambing
and the attendant did not help her as
soon as he should. Sometimes there
is something abnormal about the lamb
itself, so that no effort would avail In
saving its life.
But usually lambs come with suffi-
cientl life in them so that they may be
saved, even though weak. if proper
care is given. And it takes a man
interested in his work to give proper
care. A man has no business caring
for sheep unless 1t hurts him almost
as much to see a lamb die as 1t would
to see a child die. Not that the lamb
rivals the child In Importance, but
a man caring for his flock should have
such an affection for his charges, and
such a pride In them, that he simply
cannot bear to see them die, If he
can save them. no matter how great
an effort he must make. Such a man
will make a success OF raising his
stock.
The eve should be trimmed about
the udder just before or after lamb
ing so that the lamb may suckle:
and he should be helped in the proc
ess If he is weak. He should be wiped
dry at once after birth, If the weather
is cold. If a eve fails to give milk,
the lamb must be FED a small amount
of cows milk at frequent intervals.
If the eve fails to own her lamb, put
her in a dark pen with it for a time.
If a W has lost her own lamb and
you wish her to take a twin from an
other eve, spread the skin of her own
dead lamb yer the body of the one
she is to take. AMI there will be no
trouble.
The lambs should nibble at grain
and hay before they are two weeks
old. A run should be made for them.
into a small yard in which there is
grain where they can reach it.

Passing Of Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed In the corr belt
are hornless. Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous countries and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection OF themselves and their
young. Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild an.
finals the cattle do not need horns.
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus, Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorn. Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor
BY the application Of caustic potash
the growth of the horn is prevented in
the young calf.
