He knows that little brains and

The best thing to do is to separate
the ewes and lambs entirely. II pos.
sible give the lambs a fresh pasture
on which no sheep have been grazed
for a year. This is to avoid the
dreaded stomach worm.
One way that has been found good
is to turn the lambs into q patch Of
rape and allow them to Craze 1t down.
Some like to let the rape get six or
eight inches high before turning in on

STRONG TEAMS ARE NEEDED
CROPS Often Made or Saved BY Proper
Horse Power-Farmer Should
Keep Brood Mares.

In these days there is much greater
demand on the horse strength Of .
farm than there was in the pre-ma-
chinery days. and the possession of a
sufficient number Of workers to fully
horse the various implements OF the
well-eQuipped farm often means the
saving OF a crop in the best possible
condition. whereas hindrances through
lack Of horse power causes loss OF
good weather and damage forage or
grain.
OF course it Is possible TO have too
many horses. and especially those Of
the unsound or aged class. but of i'm
proving vigorous geldings under. say
eight years old. it is hardly possible
to have too many The surplus may
be reckoned as a saIable asset at any
time. and mares which are bringing a
f0al almost every year. besides help

1t is the best policy. therefore. for
every farmer to make his farm self

there is need and convenience for.

ARRANGE GOOD
HOG PASTURES
Farmer Who Starts 60 Diversity
Hts Crops Should Adopt
VIVA Is Called q
Minor Rotation.
fRy 4 HENRY

1 believe that every farmer who
starts to diversity his crops should
adopt what is called a minor rotation.
or. in other words. he should build a
fence around some small pieces of
ground handy to his building to be
used in time as hog pasture. place
for growing potatoes and perhaps fer
q special patch of seed corn. A pig
that IS fed grain all his life usually
fails to pay expenses. One which is
given the run of such a pasture Until
he is up to $50 pounds weight along
with some grain feed will be produced
very much more cheaply and econom.
ically.
A good hog pasture may be had by
sowing a mixture of two pounds

At the Wisconsin experiment sta.
ton as result of q trial with hogs
they found that an acre of rape pro.
duced as much gain on pigs when
used as pasture crop along with
grain as IS bushels of corn would do.
II will thus be seen that the small
pasture or a minor rotation produces
a east amount of value as measured
in grain feed.
In addition to tn +: feeding value Of
rape for hogs they were found to be

lean small boy yearned to grow
up and become President of his
country. He might still take the
job II it were thrust upon him, but he
is too busy trying to become a great
baseball pitcher to waste any time in
vain yearns.
The pitcher is the human gatling
gun who shoots the ball at the batter.
It is his mission to protect the ball from
all injury at the hands of the latter. He
is the handspring of the team and the
care with which he winds himself up
for each throw shows that he appre-
ciates the fact. A successful pitcher can
fill a baseball park twice a week with
admirers of baseball delsarte, contortion
work and target practice.
The pitcher must not only throw the
ball violently, but he must deceive the
batter as to its intentions. 1t is beau
tiful to watch a good pitcher doing this.
He balances himself on one toe. wraps
the other about his waist, loops both
arms about his neck, rubs his nose on
his trousers, wags his left ear to the
catcher as a signal, and then uncoils
like a catapult. In this way he retains
such an influence over the ball that 1t
