different individuals. despite the fact
that they were sired by the same ram
and given practically the same care

ing sheep OF the double-deck type
should shear at least twelve pounds
of wool of good length and density.
The wool should not be excessively fine
nor, on the other hand. too coarse, but
should possess something OF medium

ROOTS ARE FINE FOR
PRODUCTION OF MILK
Make Valuable Addition to Ra-
tions During the Cold Win
ter Months.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk II
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large quaint
ties, and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give tho
milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking no flavor what.
ever will be noticed.
A peck of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases. A
good plan Is to feed directly after hay
in the early morning. and once a day
is often enough.
Roots make a very valuable addition
to the winter rations because they
add 90 the variety of the feed and no
animal on the farm appreciates va.
riety more than tho dairy COW.

PROPER FEEDS AND
CARE FOR THE CALF
Young Animal Must Have Exer-
else and Freedom of Yard

(By ]. C. FRYJ

Feeding and raising the calf on
skim-milk is not always an easy prop,
osition, but l have had very good
success. The calf stays with the
mother until the milk is good to use;
then it is given whole milk for three
weeks; then 1t is gradually changed
to skim-milk. The calf will soon learn
to eat alfalfa hay. By putting a little
corn chop in the bucket when the
calf is through drinking it will soon
learn to eat 1t. Corn will supply the
fat that is taken out OF the milk. The
calf must have exercise and Is al.
lowed the freedom Of yard and farm.
We have the best success with the fall
and winter calves. Hay is better for
the calf than grass.

ATTENTION NEEDED
FOR WINTER PIGS
To Raise Two LitterS Annually
One Must Not Allow Over
stocking.
CBv G. w. BROwN1

There is a decided difference in car
ing for the pigs of autumn narrowing
and those of the spring filters. On the
average farm the latter have the ad-
vantage over the former of coming
In previous to the advent OF the spring
grasses, and have a more generous
supply of milk and other laxative food
stuffs to keep them growing and in
perfect order.
1t has been my practice for a num-
Der of years TO raise two filters of pigs
q year. To do this successfully | find
that one must not allow overstocking,
but rather should sell off q portion of
the pigs soon after weaving time,
keeping only so many as he knows
he can accommodate with good quar-
ters and generous feeding. One must
not slight pigs during cold weather
either in housing or feeding.
Besides dry nesting quarters the
pigs should have good-sized lot In
which they may get plenty of exercise.
Growing pigs should not be crowded
into close. filthy quarters, exposed to
vermin and disease.
Our winter pigs are very probably
fed upon whole corn in the fodder. as
they delight in getting their feed from
this material. l find that they eat
very much of this fodder, which forms
a fine diet. The cobs and the coarse
stalks are raked up and burned fire.

of winter pigs, and with the milk and

ing both the wool and mutton quail
ties.
An impression prevails in the north
of England. says John Wrightson In
London Live Stock Journal. that sheep
never drink and in this faith was
brought up. Water was always con-
sidered to be an important accessory
In cattle pastures, but its absence was
never looked upon as an objection to
sheep runs. There is a breed known
as "crag" Bheep in Lancashire, which
range over the extensive upland of the
mountain limestone, that are said to
require no water; but this does not
strike a Northumbrian as very re-
markable as It fits in with his precon'
ceived notions.
Mr.. Primrose Mcconnell supports
this view when he writes that I'm his
boyhood he had herded sheep and
COWS together In hot summer weather
and been struck by the cows constantly
repairing to the water, while the sheep
never went near 1t, and we're never
seen to drink at all, although they had
access to a running stream close at
hand" He adds that a northern shep'
herd would rldicule the idea Of
sheep ever drinking unless 1t was In
bad health. This opinion l can en-
dorse with slight modification. as my
idea in the north of England was that
sheep we're practically independent OF
water.
That this Is also true to certain
extent in the south is shown by the
practice Of many good shepherds, who
do not allow their ewes water during
the period Of CESSATION. There are
circumstances in which this rule Is
not adhered to, but they constitute ex-
ceptions which may be said to prove
the rule.
To speak generally, It is bad sign
when a eve drinks frequently, and
indicates unsoundness in some form.
The truth seems to be that as long as
heritage Is succulent, or is moistened
with dew, or from rain from time to
time. sheep do not require water.
When ewes are fed on hay they
should have water; and when they re-
ceive cake and hay together. and are
not allowed roots, 1t Is evident that
the moisture OF the body must be kept
on. On the other hand, II they have
access to roots they do not require wa
ter, and this is ore Of the best rea-
sons for growing roots on high and
dry situations.
Again. the need Of ewes which have
to support lambs at foot are different
to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes.
They are called upon to supply a
larger quantity of water In their milk,
and they must be supplied either d.
rectly or through succulent food in or
der to do so.
