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 1t.
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 un-
til his whole flock is affected before he
begins to attempt cure, but takes
every precaution to prevent the dis
ease getting foothold
No use trying to make profit out Of
sheep on very high priced land
Rough, billy 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
ly abounds in parasites.
TO stuff the flock one week, starve
1t the next. 10 a sure way to produce
very bad effects.
Men to whom all sheep look alike
will never succeed In the business.
Every successful fiockmaster 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 Ia q great mistake to overlook q
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
by 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.

Hog Sick With Cholera.

cation of chronic cholera.
The following gives the organs
which should be examined when hog
cholera is suspected. A description OF
the appearance OF the organs IN cases
of cholera is given also. 1t must be
remembered that all of these post
norton appearances may not be
found In one hog. Those in the skin,
large intestine, small intestine, spleen,
kidneys and lungs are the most dag,
nostic.
Skin-Red or purple discoloration
along belly and between the hams.
Ulcers may appear and the skin crack
and ears slough.
Large observation-disclosures conges-
ton and internal congestion with
hemorrhagic spots In the acute form
and ulcers in chronic cholera.
Small intestines-External and in.
ternal congestion. Sometimes hem.
orrhagic spots. Seldom ulcers.
Kidneys--Pale or dark In color,
with reddish-black spots on the ex-
ternal surface. May resemble tur.
key egg In appearance.
Spleen--Enlarged, black, friable.
Sometimes resembles black jam.
Liver-Seldom any visible changes.
May be enlarged and congested.
Standardization on mucous

Bladder-Congestion and spots on

Emphatic glands-varying degrees
OF congestion, from pink to dark in
color.
Lungs-May be covered with spots
of red or brown color varying in size
from a pin head to a half dollar.
Complete hardening of parts OF the
lung occurs. Pus may form, and ad-
hesions to the chest will sometimes
take place.
