MUCH Difference IN LAMBS
Man to Be Successful in Sheep Raising
Should Have Much Affection
for Lambs.

tBY G. Il. MORTON. COLORADO AGRI
CULTURAL COLLEGE.)
Ihere is great difference in lambs.
some come strong and some come
weak, and some never breathe at ALL
in the latter case there usually has
peen something wrong with the care
OF the eve; either her feed has not
been right or she has been hurt in
some way, or she was long in Landing
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 sufi-
cient 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 man has no business caring
for sheep unless it hurts. him almost
as much to see lamb die as it would
TO see child die. Not that the lamb
rivals the child in Importance. but
q 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 man
will make 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
sss IL he is weak. He should be wiped
hry 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 dark pen with it for time.
If eve has lost her own lamb and
you wish her to take twin from an
other eve. spread the skin of her own
dead lamb over the body of the one
she is to take. and there will be no
trouble. 400 ., ;,., nssa s-.s,5, 80

Within the past 20 years each has, at

HooDING THE VICIOUS BULL
Effectual Method of subduine Danger
Gus misunderstanding Partially
Successful.

A bulls hood is made of good har-
ness leather; in width it is 2S inches;
in depth is inches; the ear holes are
three inches in diameter, and the horn
two and half inches; these are five
inches apart. measuring to the CEN
ter, and eight between the horns, says
a writer in Home and Farm. The
edges should be smooth that there be
no abrasion of the skin about ear or
horn from a comfortable fit. If too
large, a gore few inches in depth can
be taken out and then laced Or bet
ter way is to cut and bevel opposite
edges and lap over to a snug fit and

are riveted one side, and four short

LIVE STOCKS NOTES.

Cold weather never affects a sheep
but dampness is fatal in time.
Red clover in bloom is not good for
hogs but when young it makes fine
pasture.
If you are feeding your hogs for
fat you can give them more corn than
Ii feeding for bacon.
A we'll bred mule colt will bring on
an average of 5000 when broken at
three years of age.
Peanuts form an important item in
the diet of the hogs that give us the
famous Smithfeld hams and bacon.
Never feed rye straw to pregnant
ewes 1t generally contains more or
less ergot which produces abortion.
Neither rape nor clover alone will
do for growing, fattening hogs. They
must have some grain twice day for
best results.
1t is estimated that ten sheep can be
kept where one COW can, and the risk
is much less. 1t may be said that the
sheep always carries her pocketbook
with her.
Northern farmers who own large,
rangy but smooth mares can breed
them to advantage to a good sized
Jack and find ready market for the
young mules all over the south.

Passina of Horned cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed in the corn 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
lmals 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 4s

WAS OLDEST ARMY OFFICER
Gen. Daniel H. Rucker, Who Recently
Passed Away, Looked Back Over
Nearly Century of Events

Gen. Daniel H. Rucker, the oldest
retired officer of the United States
Army that ever lived, died at his
home in Washington recently, aged SO
years. He was born in New Jersey,
and was appointed to the army from
Michigan.
He was TWO years old and able to
toddle about when the White House
was burned by British troops in the
administration of President Madison.
He was seven years of age when
Florida was bought from Spain and
added to the union. He was eight
years old when Maine (Which up to
that time had been part of Massachu-
sets, though not contiguous theretol
became state. He was 33 years of
age when Iowa and Florida were ad.
mitted to the union as states.

town of Belleville, N. j., in the year

UGLY BULL SAFELY GUARDED
Animals Are Gentle as a Rule, eut
Psychological Moment Must Be
Looked After.

Almost every day some one, gets
Killed with gentle bull. Bulls are all
gentle, but sometimes the bulls don't
know it. There comes a time in the
history OF most bulls when they are
not safe. The psychological moment
may happen when an old man, a de-
fenseless woman or possibly prom
Using child is in the Enclosure, and it
sometimes happens that active farm
ers are caught unawares and killed
or famed for life. A little precau-
ton is worth great deal of regret.
There is a corner in your barnyard
where you can build just such bull
pen as the one here outlined. The
fence is made with two heavy rails
bored through for pickets made of
two-inch gas pipe on the front or barn
yard side. Select good posts and set
them six feet apart, use II foot boards
for the north and east, well nailed to
the posts outside. Use the same kind
of boarding inside, but make it solid
up to three feet in height so the bull
can't get his horns in between the
boards. To prevent the boards from
warping set two by tours, upright
half way between the posts and nail
through from the boards into the two
by tours to make them all solid to-
gether.
The gates are all boarded solid and
fastened with sliding bolts on the out
side in such way that the bull can't
possibly work bolt loose with his
horns or with his tongue, as some
learn to do. There are two bolts on
each gate. When the bolts are in place
they drop behind notches and are held
down by springs. The outer gate
fastens both ways to either post so
that it is shut when it is open.
The small V-shaped yard is built
Tor a service yard. The COW may be
let in the outer gate swung to the out
er post and the bull turned through
Then he may be put back in the inner
Den, both gates shut against the inner
bost and the COW released The out

Eeedina Corn Fodder

When corn stalks are given to hogs,
care should be used to prevent cattle
rom having access to the woody fiber
which the swine will leave after chew
ing the stalks. Pigs relish chewing
the stalk for the sweetness in it, but
leave enough saccharine matter in the
iber to make it attractive to cattle,
especially the younger stock. This
iber is indigestible, and the cattle, If
allowed to pick it up, will frequently
Eat sufficient quantity to cause i'm
FACTION and harmful If not fatal re-
suits. 1t istnot safe to let cattle into
Yards where swine are given corn
stalks.
