FEEDING SHEEP
DURING WINTER
Value of Regularity in Care OF
Animals Demonstrated by
Experiments.

Sheep should be fed regularly In
the winter. In fact. as much depends
on the regularity of feeding as on the
feeding itself. Those who are famil-
lar with the characteristics OF sheep
know that they always become rest
less about feeding time.
The value of regular feeding has
been demonstrated by experiments
with two fiocks. at certain western
agricultural experiment station. One
was fed daily at six o'clock In the
morning and again in the evening.
while the other was fed at different
times during the day. The result was
that the flock fed regularly turned
out in a thrifty condition In the fol-
lowing spring. while the others were
thin and siclrly.
Many of the latter flock had died
during the winter fully eight per cent
of the lambs had either died at birth
or made only a stunted growth. By
feeding at set time every morning
and evening better results will be at
tanned. The essentials in the winter
care of sheep are regular feeding.

Careful consideration must be exer

lhus making 400 pounds of additional
meat without additional expense. Our
experience shows that n SOW that
grows eight pigs to maturity twice a
year is a more profitable SOW than
one that produces more pigs and fails
to develop them.
Usually the SOW has sufficient milk
ior eight. and when they are allowed
to suckle bix to eight weeks the pigs
are in prime condition to ,wean with

A good berdsman appreciates his

many TO be the finest they had ever
