LAMB RAISING PAYS
FARMER QUITE WELL
Sheep Industry on the Average
Farm is Considered Side
Issue.

The farmer who will pay close at
tention to his breeding stock and
raise native lambs of uniform size
and breed, feed them intelligently and
market them at the right time car
make more profit from his flock than
from any other farm investment. As
rule the native lambs sent to the
markets are SO badly mixed, both as
to breed and feeding, that they are q
torment to the buyer and OF little prof.
it to the owner.
This Is one of the reasons why the
western range lambs find great favor
In the big markets. They the more
uniform in size as they are fed In
large focks and go to market prac-
tically In the same condition. Only a
small portion OF the native" lambs
that are sold in the eastern markets
can be called prime, and his fact Is
entirely tho fault OF the farmer.
As a rule, sheep-raising on the av-
erage farm is merely side issue and
little attention is given to it. The
remedy Of the present condition Of the
native lamb market lies entirely with
the men who produce the lambs.
Whenever the farmers are engaged
in the producing of prime lambs for
market at any season Of the year, the
business has proven highly profitable.
OF course the best markets are just
before Christmas and In the early
spring; at this period the prices are
always high.
America 10 becoming q. great NUT
ton-eating nation, and II the farmers
will improve their focks and their
methods OF feeding there is no reason
why the native lamb market should
not prove more profitable than that
controlled by the range district.

NEED OF MOISTENING
CORN WHILE in SILO
Excellent Time Is When Crop is
Too Ripe Or Severely
Frozen

Ordinarily corn cut at the proper
time does not need any water added
to make good silage There are
times, however, when 1t Is necessary
to add water to the corn In filing the
silo. The corn in the silo at the
time OF filling should feel moist. II
not moist water should be added.
Under any OF the following condi-
tions water should be added to the
corn when nliing the silo: First.
when the corn Is too ripe. and the
leaves and part of the stalks are dried
out to such an extent that they will
not pack well. Second. when the
corn is severely frozen before It has
reached the proper degree OF matur-
ity. liberating the moisture and leav-
ing the leaves and stems dry. Third.
when refilling the silo late in the fall
with shocked corn 1t Is always nee
essary to add water.
There are two ways to add water
First, put hose in the silo and thor
cughly saturate the dry portions. en-
pecjaIly around the walls Second.
where the blower cutter Is used, run
en- inch stream OF water into the
blower when It Is at work. This will
add d sufficient amount of water to
insure good results.

whole milk at the start and skim
milk later. with some roots. and
when he goes to market he is about
as toothsome morsel as can be found
anywhere. Englishmen are very fond
of this kind'of meat, and price cuts no
figure with them.
There is no reason why our dairy.
men should not increase their profits
materially by feeding their calves;
and 1t has always been a source Of
wonder to US why they so neglect this
part of their business.
Tho fact is, the American public, to
large extent, Is SO prejudiced against
veal. having read gruesome tales
about bob veal being too often mar
keted that thousands are afraid to
buy veal Of any kind. II better sys-
tenn of feeding calves were adopted,
and the business systematized. we
would have In few years a line of
choice meat that would sell readily at
very high prices.
The first thing to be done would be
to amend the laws, to prevent the
railroad and express companies ship
ping veal under four weeks of age.
The amount OF immature stuff that
goes to market every day Is appalling.
and we believe that rs per cent of 1t
is unfit for food How it gets past
the inspectors, Is something no man
can find out

The high price OF mutton during the
past few years has encouraged, par
ticularly dairymen. to pay more atten-
ton to making good veal. but there is
woeful lack Of this kind OF meat now
on the market.
Most dairymen will not take the
trouble to fatten calves. but send them
to market just as soon as they are
past the age limit, and the result Is
entirely unsatisfactory, both to the
seller and the customer
Well fatted calves. weighing from
120 to $50 pounds, always bring high
prices. no matter what the condition
Of the cattle market may be. City peo-
pie eat great deal Of veal MID would
consume much more II they could get
what they want, but the stuff seen on
the market Is for the most part
stringy, unfinished and not at all sat

Many calves are sold when a week
old. at 8 to cents per pound, when
If fed until they weighed % pounds,
would bring double the money, but
dairymen have not yet learned how to
feed calves. in order to make good
veal.
The European farmers make good
money out OF the right calves. The
youngster Is carefully fed from the
day he Is born. being confined In dark
stalls. He is fed literally ON oatmeal.

'HOGGING CORN CROP
INSTEAD OF HUSKING
Some Farmers Find This Prac.
tice Of Much Advantage at
Times

In these days Of expensive labor,
farmers sometimes fnd 1t to their ad,
vantage to hog on some Of their eorn
instead Of husking It. The amount that
should be hogged on should be decided
upon beforehand. and should OF course
be proportionate to the number OF
hogs which are expected to consume
It, There should be access to water.
and the results will be all the better II
the hogs, at the same time. can have
access to clover, blue grass or aIfal
IA field.
Corn should not be hogged on an.
til 1t Is pretty well matured; that is
until the grains are well dented. Hog.
ging 1t on before that time means q
waste Of feeding value, for corn grows
until the leaves are killed by frost or
die naturally. There are many cases
in which 1t is quite as well and much
cheaper TO hog the corn on than to
husk It and feed 1t to the hogs. and
the practice Is growing more popular
every year.

Newark is at last forced to take
second place. Since the advent Of
the auto, Newark has prided her
self on the highest record of auto
mobiles, according to population,
Of any town in the State. Aside
from this record in itself, it also
proved that our town led in point
of progress and of wealth per cap,
tia. 1t is with deep regret that
we now award the auto honor to
Ogletown. Though one of the old
est towns in the State, Ogletown
has not been in the limelight dur
inc recent years. The present sea-
son has found her forging to the
very front and now she has the
proud boast Of an auto to every
