WINTER CARE OF EWES.
Animals Must Be In Good Condition at
Lambing Time.

Animals Must Be In Good Condition at
Landing Time.
Where good warn quarters are
available it is desirable to have the
lambs come early, says the Kansas
Farmer. If bad, stormy weather oc.
ours at this time the sheep farmer will
find he must be constantly alert and
on the job if he would save a large per-
centage of his lamb crop. 1t Is some-
times desirable to have the lambs come
on the pasture, since they will require
much less attention at this time.
1t Is usually customary to turn the
ram in with the flock at the time 1t is
desired to begin breeding and let him
ter. Some iockmasters make q prac-
tice Of locking the ram up and turn
ing him with the flock at night only,
AS a rule, it is not desirable to have
the rams running with the focks dur
ing the summer season. especially
where the lambs We're dropped early.
This practice might result in inbreed-
ing. and the young lambs so bred
would not grow out and develop prop.
erly.
Ewes which are to produce lambs
should not be allowed to run down and
| become thin and emaciated during the
winter season. In the desire to econo.
mize in feed there might be a tendency
in this direction. and, owing to the fact
that the heavy fleece makes 1t difficult
to observe how thin the sheep may be,
the ewes might become badly u
down before the owner was aware OF
the fact. The ewes must come to lamb.
ing time in good. lhrifty condition or
there will be practically no secretion

refuse to W their lambs. On the
! other hand, breeding ewes should not
be pampered and kept confined closely.
On every bright, clear day of the win

over the pastures and fields. II they
do not have abundant opportunity to
exercise and range about over the
fields the lambs will almost invariably
be born weak and puny. \,
1t Is the usual practice to shear
sheep in the spring. If warm quar-,
tiers are not available the fleece should
not be removed until the weather be.

will not suffer from the cold. Where
the lambs come early the ewes are
usually not sheared until the lambine

lambing time the ewes must be han.

Pure Bred Versus Scrub Rams.

The University Of Missouri has pub
Iished a circular giving results OF a
test in which pure bred rams were
compared with scrub rams as produc-
ers Of lambs. The average gain OF
lambs sired by a pure bred ram was
over two and one-half pounds more
at three months of age than the gain
Of lambs sired by a scrub ram at four
months Of age. And the scrub lambs
ate SO per cent more grain than the
lambs from a pure bred sire. On the
market the better bred lambs brought
s7.35 per hundredweight. while the
scrubs brought $3.50 per hundred
weight, The use Of pure bred sires
has been advocated for so long and the
economy of using such rams has been
so repeatedly demonstrated that it
would seem that such tests were no
longer necessary. But still many sheep
raisers deliberately curtail possible in,
comes from their locks by using cheap
rams-anything that can get lambs.

all printed in German, which contains
quite an extended writeup of a ban
quet and celebration held by the Am
erican Colony in Vienna, together with
the Medical Association there. 1t was
a celebration of Thanksgiving day.
The article says: Thanksgiving day
is the greatest American holiday next
to Independence day. Its origin dates
back to the period of the first Amer
lean settlement and was Instituted on
account of the thankfulness of the
people for being spared from Indian
rayages, and for preservation of life
in other ways. 1t was instituted orig
inally as a religious day and for pray
er and thanksgiving to God, but later
the more worldly idea has prevailed
in connection with it and it is now a
good deal like the German eelebra-
ton of Christmas. Two hundred
ladies and gentlemen celebrated the
occasion with the members of the
Medical Association at the Continents
al Hotel, where there was music,
speeches, and a banquet. Among the
honored guests were Prof. DR.. Podizer
DR.. Fuchs, Prof. Lorenz, and Prof. DR..
| Alexander and others. American Am
| bassador Frederick c. Penfield sent
regrets, not being able to attend. The
vice president of the Association, DR.
G. w. Summers, was toast master
Toasts on Emperor Francis Joseph
and President Woodrow Wilson OF
the United States were drank. DR.
Politzer spoke in English and talked
on the generosity of the American
people, a trait which he claimed hat
no precedent and the rest of the
world should be thankful for Amer
lean generosity. He raised his glass
land gave a toast to America and Am
orleans. DR.. Lorenz made a typica
after dinner speech in a humorou'
vein following the popular custom il
America. After the banquet and tn
speeches, dancing began which laste'
till daylight"

his party attended this celebration

B. c. Buxton. a Vermont farmer,
gives the following reasons for con-
sidering Holsteins the best breed of
dairy cattle: First, the Holsteins
hold all records for production of
milk and butter: second, they stand
the cold weather better than most
Of the breeds; third, they are large
and strong and seem to throw off
disease and keep healthier than
most breeds. Some people will
claim that the milk is too poor in
butter fat, and 1t Is a fact that the
average of the breed Is only 3.40 per
cent However, they are being bred
up to a greater per cent Of fat. The
Holstein bull pictured was grand
champion at the Iowa state fair
last year.

silaue For Beef Cattle.

There is no roughage which Is Of
more Importance to the producer of
beef cattle than silage. The value OF
silage to the beef producer varies con
siderably and is dependent upon a
large number of other factors. II
rough folders are scarce or are high
priced, IL the grain is high priced or II
the grain is so near a good market that
much Of it ear be readily sold, silage
will have a greater value than II the
opposite conditions exist. 1t is a great
saver of grain regardless Of whether
it is to be fed to stock cattle or fatten'
ing cattle. 1t will lessen the grain
feeding by practically the same amount
as Is contained in the silage.

Care Of Brood sows.

On many farms the matrons of the
hog herd are the most profitable. They
must have good care and a variety Of
food to supply their wants. They
should be fed literally and never let
go hungry. They are twice as yalua-
Bile when producing two filters of good
pigs each year as when they produce
only one. This a be accomplished
by giving them care and attention at
the right time. Three days after wean-
ing their litters they will mate If the
feed has been increased. and they are
in a thriving condition. From this
time on to narrowing they should be
fed heterogeneous food, which will nour.
ish the unborn successfully.
