PORTABLE STOCK FEED RACK
Found of Great Convenience for Use
During Cold Months of Fall and
Winter-Savcs Waste,

When it is desirble to feed stock
In the lot or yard, as is often the
case during the fall and early winter,
a portable feed rack may be made
similar TO this shown in the accom-
panying illustration, and will be found
to save enough feed to pay for the
material and labor of making in a
very short time, says writer in the
Homestead. For framework pieces
of by lumber are best, while fence
boards six inches wide are the best
material for boarding A space Of
about six inches should be left be-
tween each board, up the sides and
at the ends. This rack can be either
placed on runners or If rollers are

At Landing Time.

When the lambs are due, and the
system OF hand coupling enables the
shepherd to determine this, the ewes
should be taken to the Landing pens
In the case of twins or triplets the
first born is generally strongest and
If not confined On its return the eve
has forgotten it's SMELL and will not
own it. Besides, it IL more convenient
to care for them when the other ewes
cannot interfere II Ii the shepherd has
a rest room with a cot adjoining the
Landing pen, his labor will be greatly
lessened

Cost Of Ewes Feed.

Few farmers have a conception of
what it costs to feed breeding ewes
during the winter months. Some will
guess 10 cents per day and some less.
but scarcely any know. AS an actual
tact, the maximum cost per day is
about cents, while it should not go
above 212 cents. 1t is possible, of
course, to increase the cost by feeding
expensive concentrates, but that is en-.
tirely unnecessary
