Occasions often present themselves
when 1t becomes necessary to carry
small sheep for a short distance, or
to lift them from one pen into an
other. This work may be very easily
performed by lifting the animal in the
following manner: Standing nearly
at the rear of the sheep, though slight
ly more to the right side, slip the
right hand back of the sleeps right
front leg ana place 1t on the brisket
between the two front legs. Now lift
the sheep slightly from the ground
with the right hand to prevent its so

take hold of the left hind leg just
above the hook and lift the sheep up
against your breast. By this method
all struggling is avoided and no harm
whatever done to the sheep.

MANAGEMENT OF THE
PREGNANT MARE
BY PROF. A. S. ALEXANDER
Wisconsin COLLEGE of Agriculture

Now that the movement for pure
bred sires is we'll under way and
horses are becoming more valuable,
It behooves the horse breeder to look
we'll to the health of his stock. 1t is
estimated that some twenty-five per
cent. of the annual foal crop is lost.
Most of this mortality might be pre-
vented by treating the mare intelli-
gently and giving proper attention
to the navel and bowels OF the new
born foal.
The mare in foal should be worked
lightly or abundantly exercised every
day. Exercise is absolutely necessary.
She should occupy roomy box stall.
Here she will take some additional
exercise and will not be afraid to lie
down. She will be less likely to be-
come cast and escape having
stocked" legs and dropsical swell
ings of the udder and abdomen. The
bedding should be kept clean and dry.
Feed the mare sound, whole oats,
bran and mixed or timothy hay. Avoid
moldy hay or silage, damaged grain,
woody. weathered fodder, dusty or
rusty straw. or hay containing ergot.
Keep pregnant mares out of corn
stalk fields. Provide them with plenty
of pure, clean water. In working
mares avoid jerking, severe pulling,
wading through deep mud, manure
niles or snow drifts. Let the work
he light. easy and steady. Keep the
bowels active by feeding bran and a
little faxseed meal, carrots, or some
sweet silage.
The mare goes 4S weeks, or about
gao DAYS with foal. AS foaling time
approaches decrease the grain ration
and increase laxative foods to keep
the bowels acting freely. Constipa-
ton is dangerous. When wax forms
on the teats, aboNt three days before
foaling, stop working the mare and
Mace her in a prepared box stall
where she can be watched until the
soaI is born.
After foaling leave the mare alone

To Be Limited to New Rule.

At meeting of the land commits
sioners in the Office of the secretary of
state, the intent of the last legislature
in amending a law which previously
had been repealed was covered by the
adoption of resolutions relating to the
sale of swamp lands in this state.
The legislative amendment pro-
vided that no more than 100 acres of
land should be sold to any one indi-
vidual, and that in each case the buy
er should furnish an affidavit that it
was not his intentioo to Immediately
sell the land, the purpose being to
shut off any promoters or spectators
who might try to buy up most of
northern Wisconsin and then sell it to
some corporation. After looking into
the matter the commissioners found
that the law it was proposed to amend
had been repealed. The intent OF the
Legislature, however, is embodied in
resolutions adopted by the commits
sioners.
Most of this swamp land sells for
about slips per acre.

Frear Backs Up Statement.


To substantiate his statements made
show regarding Canadian efforts to Sc
cure American settlers, Secretary of
State James A. Frear, member of
the Wisconsin state board of immigra7
ton, quoted Canadian government au-
thority to show how Wisconsin, MINI
nesota and other northern states are
being exploited for Canada's benefit.
Mr.. Frear referred to Canadian Immi,
grafton Commissioner Walkers publ,
cation of an estimate that during the
II months ending April 1, 1912, at
least 100000 new settlers will remove
from the states to Canada.
According to the Canadian Month
ly," said Mr.. Frear, commissioner
Walker says that from April / to No,
vember 1, 1911, 93,753 Yankee set
tiers crossed the border, carrying with
them effects or money averaging in
value $1,000 each. The economic loss
to the states, therefore, reaches $685.,
$4,000, and, if his estimate is correct,
it will reach $200,000,000 before the 10
r.onths elapse.
Continuing, the Canadian commits
sioner frankly states that within the
past ten years the number CO settlers
removing from the states to Canada
has reached 607,240. At the average
rate of $1,000 each, an estimate of
their belongings carried from the
states totals direct loss to the United
States of $607, 100000 within ten years.
