An Excellent Breeding Eve.

This brings us to the allimportant
subject of what sort of a ration the
ewes should have Just before and after
lambipg time; in fact, until spring
grass comes.
Just here let us take the case of a
sheep owner whose loss of both lambs
and ewes was very heavy during last
winter and spring. The loss of ewes
was rs per cent; that of lambs 81 per
cent. Before lambing the flock was
fed cut fodder and timothy hay; after
lambing their ration was bran and
cut fodder, no succulent food, or food
that contained enough protein to pro-
duce the amount of milk necessary for
the lamb after it was born.
The man said: eff I had had 500
bushels of turnips I should have saved
my sheep and lambs also"
It is a great mistake to feed sheep
merely timothy hay or corn fodder
before and after lambing time. Many
of the heaviest losses can be prevented
| if care is given to the ration, as 1t
| is an exceptional case where eve
has not sufficient milk to at least keep
her lamb alive if she has been prop
erly fed a month before Landing.
The feed need not be expensive,
nor necessarily sncculent although
that is a great advantage; but 1t
should be rich in protein, palatable,
digestible and given in liberal amounts
and at regular intervals, twice a day.
| Glover, COW peas or soy bean hay,
! corn silage, turnips, sugar beets, and
some we'll cured (not moldy) corn
fodder may constitute the greater por-
ton of the bulky ration, together with
grain ration of corn, oats, bran,
and small percentage of linseed oil
meal or cotton seed meal.
| 1t Is best to mix these grains to-
gether, but If any are to be fed alone
let it be oats.
Corn alone will prove unsatisfac-
tory, as it has a tendency to weaken
the lambs and lessen the flow of
milk.
| Be sure to have sufficient feeding
room, as the danger from crowding
and pushing when ewes are heavy
with lamb is very great and likely to
cause some cases of abortion.
In conclusion it may be said that
every dead lamb or eve means loss
of about five dollars to the owner, and
1t behooves him to give the best at
tention to his flock during the lamb
Ing season.
