TIMELY NOTES OF SHEEPF0LD
Among Essentials in Making Sue
cess With Sheep Flock.

No use to go into sheep-raising un-
less YOU have patience, tact and great
perseverance.
In selecting sheep pasture, avoid
low, damp ground, because sheep will
not thrive on it.
Soil underlaid with limestone or dry
sandstone makes the best sheep
ground.
Old meadows with a variety of
grasses are much better for the sheep
than artificial meadows which are fire.
quently changed
Sheep are probably more delicate
and more easily affected by climatic
changes than any other farm animal
The wise shepherd does not wait I'M
III his whole fock is affected before he
begins to attempt a cure, but takes
every precaution to prevent the dis
ease getting a foothold.
No use trying to make profit out Of
sheep on very high priced land.
Rough, hilly land that hold grasses,
makes the best sheep pastures.
During the hot summer months,
sheep often suffer from the want OF
clear. cold water This should always
be supplied
Marsh water will sooner or later
cause disease in the flock. 1t general
iy abounds In parasites.
70 stun the flock one week, starve
it the next, is sure way TO produce
very bad effects.
Men TO whom all sheep look alike
will never succeed in the business
Every successful Aockmaster will
know each individual animal and learn
something OF its peculiarities
Sow plenty of turnips for the sheep
this fall. One hundred head will con-
sumo an acre Of turnips in about ten
days.
Some farmers allow their sheep to
harvest the turnips, but this is poor
economy. Better pull them and store
them in the cellars and pits and feed
as needed.
Sheep thrive in the air and sunshine
and quickly pine and fall away when
deprived of these essential elements.
1t is great mistake to overlook a
pasture as the sheep will lose the lat
ter part of the summer all they have
gained while pasture was good
Better keep the ram in the paddock
b. himself out of sight of the ewes in
the daytime, turning the ewes into the
rams paddock at night
The male lambs should be locked
and castrated when one week old. At
this age~they suffer little and the
wounds quickly heal
