Lambs on Pasture.

1t Is usually advised that when the
lambs are turned out on the grass
with the opening of the pasture sea
son they need no longer receive an ex-
ira grain feed. 1t is not well to stop
off too suddenly In this respect In a
majority of cases the flocks are turned
out on grass before the grass has at
tanned much solid substance or sweet
ness. The result is general securing
of the focks. the lambs usually suffer
ing most.
Continuing to feed some whole corn
has tendency to allay the attack Of
scours and hence saves the lambs from
suffering too severe a setback. There
fore 1t is good practice to continue to
feed some whole corn for some time
after the lambs are turned out on
grass.

sheep registry associations Of the NUT
ton breeds combined. This is ample
proof of the popularity Of the breed.
Now, back of this breed are the
business capabilities of the Shropshire
to make lots of money. These sheep
show q profit to their feeder and
breeder If given any reasonable chance
to do so. They are the most cosmo-
politan Of the mutton breeds and on
the same amount of food will excel
the other breeds in making more
pounds of both mutton and wool than
their rivals. They are also very pro-
life. With good care at least one and
one-quarter lambs may be expected
on the average to each eve in the
flock. but it is not uncommon even in
large tiockS to get an average of one
and one-half lambs to each eve. |
doubt also If there Is any breed that
is better adapted for crossing or for
breeding on our own native ewes than
the shropshire. ANY one who follows
the market reports of the leading live
stock markets will see that lambs sired
by Shropshire rams are continually
topping the market The winnings at
the leading live stock exhibitions show
that for grades and crosSbredS three
fourths of the winners are sired by
Shropshire rams. ShropShires are pop.
ular sheep in this country because
they are worth while sheep.

from blue grass $l7.Tl. The estimates

results are important as indicating

Feed and Milk Production

Whatever makes feed taste better or
more enjoyable to cows increases its
value for milk production. Early cut
alfalfa Is best not only because it
contains more protein than that cut
late. but because its aroma and its
flavor maize it more palatable. The
appetizing effect from early cutting
and careful curing of all forage crops
increases the food value for milk pro-
duction. Freshly harvested and fully
ground grain is most palatable to dali
~ cows. and 1t will give best results.
Datrymen who grind feed should
grind often. as grain that has lost its
freshness Is not best relished.-Farm

hoof or near the heel. Lameness soon
follows. says DR.. Mcintosh Of the IL
iinois experiment station.
The treatment usually recommended
for sidebones consists in the free use
of cold foot baths or cold water band
ages. Tincture Of iodine applied to
the swollen parts is very good, A
blister applied after the water appli
cations have been made for week
or SO is used by many veterinarians.
The blister is made of two teaspoon
fuls of cantharides mixed with four
tablespOonfuls of lard. 1t is rubbed
in well with the fingers and allowed
to remain for twenty-four hours,
when it is washed off and applied u
second time the following week
These applications are continued until
the lameness disappears. If this does
not bring permanent relief then firing

Swine In Summer.

AS to the summer management Of
swine there is little to say.
Raise plenty Of rape and either let
the pigs feed 1t off or NOW off and
throw a little in the Enclosure often.
The animals should be graded so the
different lots can be used to the best
advantage. Good. thrifty shotes in.
tended for an early fall market can be
very protitably fed on mixture of
corn, oats and barley and best quality
of wheat bran. If each is allowed a
quart day of this mixture in the ear,
ly fall 1t will get along in good shape.
1t Is an open question still whether
1t is any advantage to cook the food.
Theoretically cooked food ought to be
more digestible than raw. and the pigs
certainly like 1t better. Warm feed is
a preventive of stomach and intestinal
troubles. A chilled pig is very much
like chilled person.

though it really matters little. ! have
known of several foals that have been
born in the field before the owner was
able to get the mare out of the har.
ness, and they have done as well as
any without any damage whatsoever
to the mare. Anyway, it Is always
better to have the colt foaled out of
the stable and on the ground. for the
cases of navel trouble with colts foal-
ed on the ground are much less nu-
merous than with those foaled in ma
nure soaked stables.
1t is seldom that the mare needs to
rest from work more than week
young colts to follow the mares about
when they are at work. 1t is con.
stant annoyance to the man who Is
working the team. Outlines the colt
will get to suck when the mare Is un-
duly warm. which Is sure to cause
bowel trouble What Is more. follow
ing the mare about when working Is
ercise than ii needs, and a great deal
of its food goes to waste when 1t
should go to making bone and mus
Gle. For a short time after the mare
goes to work we aim to have her near
the barns, and then about the middle
of the forenoon and afternoon we
drive the team up to the barn, so as
to allow the colt to suck, always TAX
ing great care that the mare is not
hot when she is brought in. This con
tinues until the colt Is old enough to
be allowed whole half day to him
self.
We teach colts TO eat grain as early
as we can by mailing a small box in
the stable with their dams. Bran and
some oats make the usual feed. and 1t
is surprising how much they will eat
Doing this makes 1t possible to wean
the colts at an earlier date as well as
to cause them to grow on uninter
ruptedly after weaving. Always teach
foal to lead when 1t Is young. 1t
Is al easy matter then; later 1t Is a
task.

Of exercise. writes G. A. Waugh in the
Breeders Gazette. Do not jerk her,
stay away from slaughter houses and
give her sensible ration. not getting
her overfat Then do not start in
with the spring work too heavily. 1t
does not take much to overhead horse
in early spring. and such trouble is
often injurious to the foal. 1t may
be well to stop working the mare a
few days before the birth Of the foal.

fed moderately before and after the

One way to improve lanl rap

Constant care Is what develops

hogs for only eight or ten months.
After they are a year old the
feeding is not profitable
When nursing pigs scour. the

The trouble usually comes from
overlooking with corn. Sudden
changes of food and the use of
sour troughs or spoiled food will
cause diarrhea. Give the SOW
fifteen grains of copperas in her
slop twice day for few days.
Pigs. sows and fattening hogs
should be kept in separate inclo-
sures. They will be healthier
and derive more benefit from
their feeds by such handling
