Pack off every old sheep before
solid winter sets in.
Clean troughs and managers are es'

Powdered charcoal fed in siop to
hogs Is a good cure for scours.
Superannuated and otherwise unde-

After the pigs are two months old
they can eat most anything in the

At weaving time colts should be

Talk is cheap, but it takes none

Castrate every male lamb that will
be an eyesore to yourself or do mis-

Take every precaution to gain the

put in the barn for the winter.
Sheep dogs in England. Scotland
and France are the most serious OF
animals, and are Woodworking.
The better your sire the better your

In the library, looking silently into
