kept in pen by themselves for a few
days until the period Of heat is over.
Twenty weeks is the usual time OF
gestation in ewes. On the general
farm the preferable time to have the
lambs come is just about the time the
grass is starting well. If you are in
the pure bred business 1t will pay to
have the lambs come a little earlier
than this. as the larger lambs bring
better prices as breeders in the fall.
Ia order to have the ewes come in heat

rather poor pasture and turning them

Feeding the Lambs.

The lambs should be taught to eat
before weaning. aud a small ration Of
grain should be fed from that time on.
There is no better feed for lambs than
oats. When the lambs are on clover
pasture half the grain ration may be
made of corn. As a general rule it Is
better to avoid the holiday rush and
market the lambs later in the season
with a better finish As soon as they
are OF pasture the grain should be in
creased until they are getting all they
will eat Corn and clover hay make
one Of the best ratlons for fatiening
sheep. Before putting the lambs into
the feed lot a few Of the best ewes
should be sorted out to replenish the
tiock All Improbable ewes or those
that are getting old should be shut up
and fattened as soon as the lambs are
weaned. Plenty Of salt should be pro-
vided for the sheep during the fatten-

tory. on the ranges Of the west the
hardy Merinos are best adapted to the
| conditions.
In getting a start In the sheep busi-
ness especially if you have never
raised sheep. it is best to buy three or
four ewes Of the desired breed. In Sc
lecting ewes where mutton is to be the
chief consideration considerable atten-
tiOn should be paid to the mutton
type
This is much the same as the meat
type In other animals They should
be broad. deep and fairly long. with
good spring Of rib and broad. well Gov
cred back and loin. The rump should
be long and the hind. legs well meated
both inside and out. as this. together
with the back and loin. is the most
valuable part Of the sheep. The quail
ity should be good. as shown In fine
head and bone. The constitution
should be good. as shown by depth Of
chest. large nostrils and width between
the fore legs.
Good quality Of wool is shown by
close. even crimp. The wool should be |
dense on all parts OF the body. 1t should |
not be harsh. and the fiber should be |
strong and not easily broken. There |
should be no dead hairs In the wool. /
Sheep are often trimmed so as to ap- |
pear much wider and. blocker than |
they really are. The only way to tell |
the real form Of a trimmed sheep is
by touch. In going over sheep with
the hands do not dig into the wool

and lessening the value OF the fleece.

Handling Breeding Sheep.
When ewes are bought Of a breeder
they win usually be bred. In raising
lambs for market on any considerable
scale ewes bought on the general mar
ket are a good deal cheaper. and very
good results can be obtained If mated
to a good. pure bred ram. The same
points of form spoken of in connection
with the eve should be looked after

should show masculinity in a strong
head, thick neck aud large chest His
egs should be strong. especially In the
lasterns. and he should not be over

prices and feed is not too high there
is considerable profit in this system.
In the eastern states considerable
profit is made on "hothouse lambs. ''
Dorsets are the best breed from which
to produce This class Of lambs. as they
will breed out of season. The ewes
are bred in May and the lambs fitted
for the Easter market.
The sheep grower is not compelled
to depend upon mutton alone for his
profit. The wool is also a considerable
item. usually amounting to enough to
at least pay for the feed Where a
large number Of sheep are to be shear

Winter Care.

During the winter the ewes should
be fed on u ration Of oats and bran,
with perhaps little corn added,
Clover hay is one of the best forms Of
roughage little silage will add sue
culence to the ration. but iN should
not be fed IN very large quantities.
Roots are also good for this purpose.
Exercise is essential. \ winter pas

any considerable portion of their feed.

just before lambing the wool on the
tanks and udders should be clipped. A
little oilmeal should be added to the
ration for two or three weeks prior
to lambing. Many OF the newly born
lambs will have to be assisted to stand
up and suck. after which they will
usually be able TO take care of them
selves. In cold weather lambs are
liable to wander away from their
mothers and get chilled. The best way
to save chilled lamb is to put it in
warm water for half au hour. 1t
should be thoroughly dried before put
ting it back in the pen.
The lambs should be weaned when
they are from three to four months old.
This is Il critical time in their life, as
check in growth will give parasites
a chance To get start. 1t is good
plan to have a fresh pasture Of clover
or rape to put the lambs in at this |
time. Rape and clover mixed aud |
sown with oats make excellent fall |

WNDER favorable conditions the
sheep is one OF the most
profitable kinds Of live stock
that can be raised The first
essential to success in this business is
a liking for it. The second is a proper
location. Sheep kept on low pastures
become wormy or affected with foot
rot and are seldom profitable.
. Sheep are able TO use large amounts
of rough feed that would otherwise go
to waste. making economical gains on
feed that the other animals Of the
farm will not touch They are espe-
cially good for cleaning up weedy

There is no better method of Kidding
