CARE nE SHEEP

1t is poor business for sheep to drink
ice water, because it lowers their tenn
perature and affects their digestion and
requires more feed to bring them back
to a normal condition.
When you see a sheep going down on
its knees frequently, you may be pretty
sure that its hoofs are affected and need
prompt attention.
If the dirt floor of the sheep barn
cannot be kept perfectly dry. a PLANK
floor with plenty of straw is necessa-
ry.
A hundred feet of draintile laid under
the floor of the sheep pen will keep it
perfectly dry all the time
Whenever ticks are found the sheep
must be dipped at once. There are a
number of excellent lips On the market
which can be obtained IN every town
If sheep become lacerated on wire
fence or other objects, watch the wounds
carefully. and if maggoss appear, wash
the wounds with weak sOiutio1 of car
bolic acid and water If the wounds are
deep and difficult to reach, inject the
solution with a small syrInge.
Remember that one treatment OF
wounds or of any disease will never
cure. Look after the wounded or sick
animals every day until they are entire
ly well.

POULTRY MUST HAVE SOME GREEN
F0Nn.

In climates where the frost comes
early and most green things are cut
down, we must not neglect to continue
to give the fowls some green feed in
some form or other.
/ believe that many flocks receive a
serious setback at this season by reason
Of being suddenly shut off from green
feed and their laying qualities affected
during the winter.
Even after the green stuff has disap-
peared from the range the birds ought
to be allowed to run at large until the
cold and wet weather sets in, because
exercise should not be denied them at
any time in good weather.
Iney will pick up great deal of green
feed in their rambles about the place,
and except for fowls that are being fat
tened for market, the nearer we can
come to keeping them in their natural
surroundings the better.
If the laying hens are very fat at the
beginning of the laying season, 1T is well
to check up on their feeding for little
time until they are somewhat reduced In
flesh. A good diet is only an ounce OF
lean meat per oay for week or ten
days, and a teaspoonful of millet seed in
the litter TO make them take exercise.
An over-fat laying hen is an abomina-
ton, but at the same time hen that is
too lean cannot be expected TO produce
as many eggs as one that is in good
fair shape. In this matter common
sense must rule always.

LET TIE WIFE AND CHILDREN
HELP.

Husbands and fathers are largely to
blame for the poor arrangement of many
places where women expend their vital
force and energy. This is noticeably
true of country homes, the wife being
seldom given voice in the planning of
the house where she Is to spend the
greater part of her time
This, too, in the face OF the fact that
almost any ordinary woman has given
more thought to the matter than has the
man who never had any housework to
do. q Es caa
Children, too. have their rights, and
one right is to assist in the work about
the home Systematically, in order that
the wheels of the domestic machinery
may run smoothly. These duties should
be faithfully exacted nor only for the
sake of helping. but for the good of the
child.
1t should be a criminal offense to
raise children in ignorance of the prac-
tical things of life-the little things
upon which very much comfort and hap
piResss depend

wINTERrNG SWINE.

Who has not seen the hogs piled upon
each other in cold weather, shivering,
fighting to get into warm place?
Under such conditions IL is impossible
for hog to put on flesh, and there are
nine chances to ten that he will take
cold, which may develop into serious
lung trouble.
Overhead ventilation is easily secured
by leaving an open space of, say six
inches between the top of the outside
wall and the roof
An English farmer of our acouaint-
ance who has had great success with
hogs. builds his houses with a section
of the wall hung on swivel-pin in the
middle, which can be flung open when
ever sunlight and air are needed.
When the section is released, 1t swings
back into an upright position by gravi-
tation.

SWARM MANAGEMENT

Success in Bee Keeping Not Now Meas
ured by the Increase by Swarming as
Formerly.
BY E. z. Phillips, Pm. D.
The excessive rearing OF brood at the
wrong season or increase in the humber
of colonies greatly reduces the surplus
honey crop by consumption. The ideal
to which all progressive bee keepers
work when operating simply for honey.
is to stimulate brood rearing to prepare
bees for gathering, to retard breeding
when it is less desirable, and to prevent
swarming. Very few succeed in entirely
preventing swarming, but by various
methods the situation can be largely
controlled.
When a swarm issues, II usually first
settles on limb of a tree or bush near
the apiary. 1t was formerly common
to make a noise by beating pans or ring
ing bells in the belief that this causes
the swarm to settle There is no found
alton for such action on the part of the
bee keeper If the bees light on small
limb that can be spared it may simply
be sawed off and the bees carried to the
hive and thrown on a sheet or hive cover
in front of the entrance. If the limb
cannot be cut, the swarm can be shaken
off into a box or basket on pole and
hived. If the bees light on the trunk or
a tree or in some inaccessible, place, they
pe attracted away by comb,
preferably containing unsealel brood. In
these manipulations it is not necessary
to get all the bees, but if the queen is
not with those which are put in the hive
the bees will go into the air again and
join the cluster.
1t is desirable early in the season, be-
fore any preparations are made for
swarming, to go through the apiary and
clip one wing of each queen so that If a
swarm issues the queen cannot fly and
the bees can be easily returned to the
old stand. This should be done before
the hive becomes too populous. 1t is
perhaps best to clip queens as they are
introduced, but some colonies may rear
new ones without the knowledge of the
owner and a spring examination will in
sure no escaping swarms.
When clipping the queens wing is
not practiced, swarms may be prevented
from leaving by the use or queen traps
of perforated zinc. These allow the
workers to pass out, but not drones or
queens, which, on leaving the entrance,
pass up to an upper compartment from
which they cannot return These are
also used for keeping undesirable drones
from escaping, and the drones die of
starvation.
