EXPENSE OF HANDLING EWES
Expert Of West Virginia Experiment
Station Says Every Flock owner
Should study Cost.

Prof. p. w. Sheets Of tho West vir-
ginia experiment station, In discussing
the question OF breeding ewes. said
that he believed every flock owner
should sit down and figure out the
cost OF the feed. In the fall he feeds
breeding ewes once a day on oats and
bran; feeds no corn whstever TO the
breeding ewes. Uses clover, eowpea
and mixed hay and corn fodder for
roughage. The latter II pays TO shred
or cut. His southdown sheep eat
about six pounds OF silage apiece a
day. two pounds OF hay and one-half
pound Of grain, but he does not give
the ewes 30 much silage as this be-
fore lambing. He feeds the lambs with
the ewes. starting with about half q
pint OF grain to tho lamb at eight
weeks old. and getting up to pint
OF grain at about twelve weeks old
This feed is continued throughout the
season. After tho lambs are weanec
he puts the ewes on a stubble neld q
decrease the flow Of milk. He givel
tobacco, which he raises himself, IN
the feed each day AZ preventive Of
stomach worms. He thinks Il payl
better 10 wean lambs the frst Of JULY
than at any other time. II cost hin

did not charge present market prices
FOR his feed. adopting a scale OF prices
that would run about the average

FRESH VS.. R0TTED MANURE
Some Interesting Facts Given Which
Show Advantage Slightly In
Favor Of Former.
nx ANnREw RossA

Most people have an idea that rot
ted manure is a much more valuable
fertilizer than manure fresh from the
barns OF yards. This idea prevails
because Of the heavy. compact nature
Of the rotted manure. The value OF
manure is determined by the amount
OF various elements Of fertility con-
tanned therein. These elements are
mainly nitrogen. phosphoric acid and
potash. They are usually figured at
loo, &c and &c per pound. respective
ly. On this basis a ton Of fresh barn
yard manure is worth 91.9s. A ton OF
rotted manure 10 worth S2.04, or only
&c more. When the fact is consid-
cred that II takes nearly two tons Of
fresh barnyard manure TO make one
ton Of rotted manure, owing 10 the
loss from evaporation and teaching,
It can be seen that much OF the fer
tilizing matter originally contained is
lost In the rotting process.
An eastern state reports some In
teresting observations on the expert
mental use OF fresh and rotted
manure. Both we're used on the corn
and wheat crops. in comparison with
unmanured land. The yield Of corn
on unmanured land was 1871 bushels
per acre. On land dressed with rot
ted manure. q yield of 651 bushels
we're secured; and where fresh
manure was applied. the yield was
7O.T bushels per acre. The increased
yiedl Of corn from the use Of rotted
manure was 27.6 bushels, and from the
use OF fresh manure 1913 bushels, an
increase Of bushels per acre in favor
Of the fresh manure. On the wheat
crop the effect was similar, though
not so marked On the unmanured
land, the wheat yielded 161 bushels
per acre; where rotted manure waE
used, 1e.1 bushels; and on the land
dressed with fresh manure. 1877 bush
els per acre were secured The In
crease in favor OF the fresh manure
is only 6 bushels per acre on tbs
wheat crop
While the increased returns arc
comparatively small IN both cases. 4
} illustrates clearly the fact that fresl
manure is at least as good as the rot
ted manure, and for some crops ever
better.

KINDS OF HAY FOR STEERS
Alfalfa, Sorghum and kaffir Compared
as Roushsges for FattenIng Cattle
Former 10 Best

AZ the Kansas experiment station
alfalfa hay, sorghum hay and Kafiir
hay were compared as roughages for
fattening steers. II was found that
when alfalfa hay was fed II took only
about six pounds Of corn and cob
meal to produce a pound OF gain, while
when sorghum was fed n took Ill
pounds OF corn and cob meal to pro-
duce a pound OF grain.
The figures for the Kafnr hay we're
ten pounds OF the meal for a pound
OF gain. Experiments at other sta.
tions indicate that under similar con-
ditions It would take about nine
pounds Of corn and cob meal 70 make
a pound Of gain when clover and tim
othy hay were the roughage.
