FITTING THE EWES
FOR EARLY LAMBS,

Among the problems that confront
the early lamb grower the one OF feed
ing holds Il prominent place. 1t is
necessary TO keep the sheep in good
condition. yet not too fat, and after
the lambs are dropped to force both
sheep and lambs to their greatest ca
pacity until the lambs are ready for
Gentleman. How this can be done
best and also most economically is a
question on which there might be
great difference of opinion. but it is
my purpose here to describe method
that has been applied successfully for
several years and one which seems
economical
AS soon as the sheep are housed in
the fall they are fed clover hay in the
morning and corn fodder at night, care
being taken to feed only what they
will eat up clean.
They have free access to salt and
water all the time. The cornstalks
apart. on which good many ears
have formed The stalks from the
parts of the field in general on which
grew the poorest and smallest ears are
fed before lambing and those with the
best ears after. This avoids feeding
too much corn before the heavier feed
ing is begun The sheep have no diff
Guilty in husking the corn or getting
it off the cob. and they certainly waste
less than the ordinary corn shelter.
This feeding is continued with little
variation until few days after the
lambs are dropped unless bean pods
are available. in which case they are
substituted occasionally for the night
feeding of fodder
As soon as possible after the lambs
are dropped the sheep with lambs are
placed in pens by themselves and
heavier feeding is begun. At first only
a light feed Of oats and bran is given

General Utility of Mules.

In feeding mules it may be well to
remember that they will keep fat on
about three-fourths the allowance of
horse OF the same weight. that they
will eat Up roughage and their grain
ration will only be about two-thirds
that of horse.
When it comes to daily care and at
tention the mule will live where the
horse will soon die
These large cared friends are also
more sure footed than the horse. re-
sist heat and flies better and do not
chafe or gall so easily.
The objection many farmers raise to
the use of mules is that they do not
breed. that they are stubborn, often
vicious, and that they are entirely un-
suited to pleasure purposes.
Those objections are worthy of con-
sideration. but the many good quail
ties of these sturdy beasts seem to
more than offset them.

THE NARROWING sow.
Warm Pen Necessary to Handle the
Early Litters.'

If the SOW has been property fed
and handled during pregnancy very
little attention will be required at far
rowing unless the weather should be
severe. Each SOW should be placed
in pen by herself three or four days
before due. For the curly litter Il
warm pen is necessary. Ii should be
dry and supplied with small amount
of straw or chaff Too much bedding
Is dangerous. as the pigs are much
more apt to be lain on by the SOW A
guard rail should be placed eight
inches from the floor and six or eight
inches out from the wall as Il further
means of safety to the pigs.
The attendant can easily tell when a
SOW is about to farrow by the milk
appearing in her teats few hours in
advance. In cold weather it may be
necessary to dry and warm the pigs
by artificial heat A barrel or box
with some hot bricks or stones
wrapped in blankets is excellent for
this purpose. The pigs may be placed
in the warm box or barrel and when
thoroughly dry and warm put back
with the SOW to suckle Sometimes it
happens that sow will be too cross
and nervous to submit to having the
pigs removed in this way. The man
who has made friends with his sOws
previously will commonly have little
difficulty in working about them at
this time
Possibly some may not be aware Of
the fact that a newly farrowed pig will
very seldom squeal if picked up by the
tail or ear. Many pigs are lost an
nually through carelessnessr at farrow
ing time. probably more than by over
attention at this time, although too
much solicitude may result in harm.
The sow should be kept as quiet as
possible the first twentv-four hours, re-
ceiving nothing but water, which
should be warned especially if the
weather is at all cold The feeding
for three or four days should be light.

GOOD QUALITIES OF

then, if the Red Polls have won their

favor they must have done it in the
face of the most severe criticism.

FACING Death.

Why should we consent even to the

spagan trappings of woe at every

beyond our grasp But il we believe
that death is going to justify itself
as life has justified itself, there is
20 right or reason in emphasizing
grief. We were made to go onward.
There is no permanent stoppage in the
great professional pageant passing
from one eternity on to another. And
when we are forced to wave farewell
to one who goes beyond our sight, let
it be courageously and with solemn
gladness There Is nothing to be com
