Fitting Aged Ewes for
Market on the Farm
BY r. S. SHAW
s4~~~%~~%<~%~%~e%~Ho$&<<%~t

In maintaining q profitable flock of
sheep careful selection must be prac-
ticed year after year Some of the
older ones must be eliminated and
younger ones chosen to fill their
places. AS a general rule it is not de-
sirable to keep ewes beyond their
sixth year unless in the case of spe-
cial individuals or flocks Of strictly
fine wooled types. The matter of age
alone should not be the deciding fac
tor in discarding the eve, for her abil-
it yto raise q good lamb. The char
acter and amount of fleece she pro-
duces and the condition of her teeth
are factors to be considered as well.
The profitable fitting and marketing
of ewes too old to be useful further in
and breeding flock is quite problem,
especially if her teeth are defective
and she is in thin condition because
of having reared lambs during the
past season. AS a rule she cannot
be fitted for market profitably on dry
feed during the winter except with abb
normal market conditions.
AS soon as the old ewes lambs have
been weaned she should be given ac-
cess to succulent pasture such as Sec
ond growth clover. n well established
new seeding o" a patch of rape. To
the forage thus secured may be added
liberal grain allowance of ground
corn and oats in equal parts which
would be improved some by the addi
Il
If available. AS soon as these condi-
tions have fattened the eve sufficient
ly for market then the best possible
deal should be made with the drover
or butcher before winter sets in.

The mating season for sheep is not
far distant and the best selections of
flock headers can be made early In
the season. At this time one can
choose from among the best of the
ram lambs and yearlings or two-year-
olds. Offerings of makes will go quick
ly as soon as the show season opens
up and by the time the sheep is actu-
ally needed the market will be pretty
well culled over. Procure a yearling
or older ram if possible. Ram lambs
should not be used unless exceeding

Remarkable "Remedy.n

Humanity has always had a weak
ness for medical prescriptions. Here,
for example, is an old Scotch remedy
for consumption that was once much
in vogue. You catch twenty-one large
earthworms which must be wiped
clean" Soak them in a quart OF old
Malaga for twelve hours. Then drain
them off and add to the wine sliced
nutmeg, little saffron, and piece
of gold leaf. 1t was to be taken in
large glasses "as long as you think
convenient" BY leaving out the earth
worms 1t is easy to believe that this
was a good and comfortable medicine
and that it would prove convenient"
for quite long time. Another favor
ite remedy was the baked lungs of a
fox mixed with white sugar, stepped
in water and bottled.

LOOKING for New Potato Types.

The explorers have peen looking up
the potato plant in its native home
in Central America and Mexico and
have found about 40 species, all of
which have leaves and tubers after
the same general fashion as the ordi
nary market potato. The professors
are not sure that any of the wild
kinds are capable of producing vari-
cites of any greater merit than our
present commercial potatoes. although
It is considered possible that good
types of potatoes could be obtained
from two or three other types quite
different in appearance from common
potatoes and which are already being
taken up by the experiment stations

has felt neglected. Nominally the
little country had a prince, but what
was the use? Did he ever come to
Wales? Was he ever seen under the
shadow of Snowdon? Did he know any
thing about Welsh history or the
Welsh heart? Wales was left out of
imperial itineraries. 1t was not a
people, had on troubles, possessed no
sensibilities. Wales was a bunch of
mountains and hills! So, cherishing
it's heroic memories, conserving its
high spirited and potent individuality,
Wales regarded England with sullen
dislike. Finally came a king with
ideas in his head and energy in his
veins and in one day he repaired the
omission of centuries! Wales now
has a prince and great London must
come to little Carnarvon to see the
cornet placed on his royal head!
Carnarvon was as real, as much
alive, as an American county fair. The
ladies of the peerage perspired freely
and carried good old Welsh dust on
their silken slippers! The crowd was
so thick that motor cars and car.

final scenes were the three presenta-
tions to the people outside the castle,
from high points in different towers,
of the newly invested prince, in his
garb of purple and ermine, by his
father and mother, King George v.
and Queen Mary.
What day it was for the old coun-
ty town of rock-ribbed Carnarvon-
shire! How the pride Of Wales was
stirred and its heart touched! The
flower of the peerage was there-the
men in their court velvets, the ladies
in their satins and pearls. London's
mightiest were delighted to be the
guests of Carnarvon-this little COM
munity of simple souls on the Seinout.
Carnarvon saw by the hundreds, in
gorgeous concentrations, the most
magnificent uniforms known to the
world. And Carnarvon saw much
more. 1t saw the king and queen
come, bringing their beautiful chill
dren, and had the father and mother
present to it their eldest son as
prince!
Altogether it was fine imperial busi-
ness. The Welshman does not like
the Englishman; to mix their temper
aments is to mix water and oil. Wales

as a result of the aboliShing of
useless offices This item, which
does not include the big reduction

sufficient patronage cause it TO

able to get sufficient Attendance

likely still be going. But theys'
