when IS A EVE DOING WELL7
General sprightIiness and Behavior OF
Animal Are Good indication Of
General Condition.

It sometimes puzzles the sheep grow.
er. especially the beginner. to know
when his ewes are doing well. Many
q man is SO anxious that they do we'll
that he overdoes the matter while OF
course, there are those whose ewes
do not do we'll enough.
It is impossible to gauge ewes
well being by the number Of pounds
she is gaining, yet this is one of the
first indices of her condition and the
one most commonly adopted by sheep
growers. In general q eve ought to
be gaining about six pounds month.
If she was uncommonly thin to begin
with she should be gaining even more.
while If she was fat, she ought to be
gaining pound or two less.
To be in good condition eve ought
also to be enjoying an easy and thor
ough digestion and an active circula-
ton Of blood. These things depend in
part on the amount of exercise given
her also. A pregnant eve ought to be
given some succulent food which helps
to keep her digestion in good order
and her feed should contain goodly
portion Of the protein elements which
are necessary In tissue building and
In the growth Of the foetus. She ought
to have plenty Of exercise every day
as this keeps the muscles of her d.
gestive apparatus in good play and
her circulation active
A eve is doing well when she 10
making fair steady gain. and when
all her organs are functioning proper
ly. and when her appetite seems keen.
Her general sprightliness and behav-
Tor are good indication of her feel
ings. A eve that is dull and dumpish
Is usually ailing in some way. Often
times it 10 only too much feed and too
little exercise that is accountable for
this condition, however.

Applying eandaee Over Cotton Pad


q solution made by dissolving two
tablespoonfuls Of lead acetate in q
quart Of water.
Leg wounds in horses are q rather
serious matter, since they are likely to
leave blemish which will lower the
value. 1t is important in treating them
to secure q healing which will be so
perfect that no one will suspect that
a wound has ever been there. For such
wounds one veterinarian suggests the
following: Clean the wound with
wash composed of one tablespoonful
Of acetate Of lead, one tablespoonful
Of sulphate Of zinc, four tablespoon
fuls of tincture of arnica, and one
quart Of water. This wash should be
used every hour or so the first day
and three or four times daily thereaft-
er. The object is to keep the wound,
while healing, lower than the surface
Of the skin. II it pushes up. bichlor-
ide Of mercury, as much as can be put
On the surface Of q dime. should be
placed on tho sore. It is said that leg
wounds thus treated will heal over,
leaving no blemish.

Don't neglect to commence feeding
the colts some grain before they are

Is the SOLDERING horse in need Of
moro grain, or may it not be that its'
teeth need filing?
The spring colt should be a. gentle,

A good draft horse is a good farm
horse either to wear out in the field
or to sell when mature.
There are a good many breeders
who still believe that it Is profitable
to grind corn for the hogs.

spring feeding. 1t is great when the
sheep get tired Of timothy.

In the purchase of new horse always
purchase a mare. She will raise YOU

Horses Appetite,

II one Of the working horses loses
it's appetite, It must not be assumed
that 1t has acquired some serious
malady. 1t has probably been kept
on a too monotonous ration. The diet
must be changed, and II an improve
ment is not noted quickly. the ami
NAL needs both purgative and q
tonic. A tablespoonful Of aniseed in
the feed is an excellent tonic as it
sweetens the stomach and stimulates
the appetite.
