SECURING PROFIT IN SHEEP
II Pure-Bred and Well Cared for They
Pay Handsomely--need Shelter
In Severe Weather.

My sheep are pure American Meri-
nos, all registered. Two of this kind
can keep in summer or winter with
one of most any other breed can be
kept, says a writer in an exchange.
My sheep barn is a closed building
with broad door so that the sheep
can go in and out without crowding
each other. The feeding racks in one
room are on the outside; the other
room has double rack through the
middle. I give my sheep large run
in the fall SO they go into winter quar-
ters in good condition and never leave
them out in heavy rains through the
season.
The breeding ewes are let out every
morning in winter to eat their grain,
which is oats, and to give them exer-
else. l feed them hay three times a
day. Some only feed twice. | only
give them a little at noon time, also
give their pens a litter of oat straw
two or three times a week. / try to
have my sheep shorn before they drop
their lambs so the little fellows have
no trouble to find their first meal. The
eve that is in good condition has a
good supply of milk and almost al
ways owns her lamb. never keep
salt by them, but feed 1t to them once
a week. / have water by them all the
time. I never allow the ram. to run
with the ewes. The rams that are to
be used are fed three-quarters oats
and one-quarter wheat mixed. The
young lambs in the fall and winter are
fed twice daily a grain ration of oats
and sometimes wheat bran half

Vat for Dipping Hogs.

provided the sleeping quarters are
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
In dipping to kill lice, the coal-tar
dips Of the creoline type are better
than lime and sulphur If the hog
wallows are kept well filled with wa
ter, to which some Of the creoline
dips are added every ten days, the
swine will usually free themselves
from the lice. Another good way of
combating the parasites is to tie
gunnysacks or other coarse cloths
around rubbing posts and keep these
cloths saturated with crude petrole'
um.
There are many coal-tar dips" on
the market. They are made from the
products of the distillation Of coal tar
and have q variety of trade names.
Creoline is one Of these preparations.
They are all dark-colored liquids
with strong coaltar odor and when
mixed with water form milky white
or slightly brownish emulsion. We
have tried several kinds with ex-
cellent results. Practically all drug
gists have these dips, but We would
advise using a dip made by a we'll
known and reliable firm. These dips
should be used at the strength of
one part Of the dip to forty or fifty
parts of water. If rain water is OBJ
tainable It is preferred to hard" wa
ter. These dips should be used warm.
There should be dipping vat on
every hog farm. They may be made
of wood, galvanized iron or cement.
They are set In the ground at con-
venient place so that there Is good
surface drainage away from the vat.
A good size for large vat Is ten feet
long on top, eight feet long on the bot
tom, and two feet wide on top. The
end where the hogs enter should be
perpendicular and the other end In
clined. with cleats SO that the hogs
can emerge after swimming through.
The entrance should be by a slide.
Such tank is very useful wherever
hogs are kept in numbers. as frequent
dipping tends to keep the hogs healthy
and free from parasites,

ERADICATE HOG LOUISE
Vigorous and Patient Treatment
Is Required.
Blood Sucking Parasites Cause Much
Irritation of Skin-ln Dipping
creoIine Is Better Than Lime
and Sulphur.
(By N. s. MAYo.)

The hog louise is a common parasitic
pest on swine and one that requires
vigorous and patient treatment TO
eradicate. The hog louise is one OF
the largest of the lice that attacks
domestic animals. They are readily
seen travelling about on the bristles,
usually on the neck, back Of the ears,
moving with a peculiar sliding mo-
ton. The eggs or "nits" are small,
white, oval bodies attached to the
bristles. Hog lice may be found on
almost any part of the animals body,
but are most common about the neck,
ears and back of the elbow.
These are blood-sucking parasites
and, by biting the hog and abstract
Ing blood, they cause good deal OF
Irritation of the skin. The animal
rubs on posts and other objects and
the coat looks rough and harsh. The
parasite and eggs are easily found
upon examination. The parasites are
transmitted from one animal to an
other by contact, or by contact with
infected bedding or quarters.
Dipping the animals three or four
times at intervals Of ten days will usu-
dly free them from these parasites,

Grass pemonstratlon.

A new line of work of the depart
ment of agriculture and one that IL
very promising was begun last year
In conducting demonstration expert
ments in grass. One hundred demon
stration farms, of one acre each were
established In, 30 counties in South
Carolina. An average yield OF S,t46
pounds of cured hay at an average
cost of $2S.66 per acre was produced,
and in some, instances as much as
5000 or 6.00ofpounds Of cured hay an
acre was harvested. These highly sat.
isfactory results have stimulated great
interest In grass growing, especially
in South Carolina. A vigorous grass
campaign has been started In North
Carolina. Virginia and other states,
It is expected that 5000 or more al
falfa demonstrations will be conducted
this year In Virginia alone.

TO PREVENT CRACKED HEELS
Trouble May Be Avoided II Manure Is
Not Allowed to Accumulate and
Urine Is Drained.

By DR. H. PRESTON KOSKINS, Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul)
Scratches, also called cracked heels
or mud fever, can be prevented by
careful stable management. Cases
are rarely met with in well kept
barns, but are often seen In dirty,
poorly drained stables. Dryness and
cleanliness of the floor of the stall
are the two most important factors
In the prevention of scratches.
Horses should not be allowed TO
stand in piles of manure and decom-
posing urine. These irritate and In
flame the skin In the fold of the ankle
just below the fetlock. The skin then
becomes thickened, due to the inflam-
nation and breaks or cracks in 1t ap-
pear and II allowed to go untreated
the condition grows gradually worse.
The affected area grows larger, the
cracks become deeper and the animal
is In an unsightly and painful condi-
ton.
Owners Of horses can prevent the
trouble in the majority of cases by
doing two things. Do not allow man
ure to accumulate behind your horses,
and see that your stalls are so con-
structed that the urine will drain
away promptly. II your horses show
any tendency toward the condition ap-
ply small amount of carbolized vase
line, benzoinated lard, or zinc oxide
ointment, well rubbed into the af-
fected parts. These remedies will
soften the skin and protect 1t from
external moisture and irritating sub
stances. During wet weather or when
the roads and streets are muddy or
slushy, extra precaution should be
taken to prevent the condition. Do
not wash cracked heels, as water and
rubbing only aggravate the condition

BENEFICIAL EFFECT OF LIME
Substance improves Sandy Soils by
Making Them More Compact and
Retentlve of Moisture.
cRv B. II. H1rE.l


Nothing in agricultural science or
practice may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect Of
lime on easily puddled stiff clay soils.
This is SO nearly matter Of common
knowledge, the wonder is that anyone
will worry along with such soils year
after year, and even from one genera
tion to another, while the possible in.
crease In yield in single year will!
often pay for the necessary lime.
Lime may improve loose sandy soils
by making them more compact and
more retentive of moisture. For this
purpose some form of carbonate OF
lime is usually recommended, and In
much smaller quantities than for clay
soils. Clay soils will stand more lime

much greater If the lime is applied to

pany is the only real obstacle to the
formation of a shoe trust We help
the small manufacturer to start in
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can afford to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number of shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2-3 cents pair
and let US keep them up to date.
That is fair arrangement. Some of
the big fellows don't like our system,
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fel-
lows stand with us because they know
we treat all manufacturers alike no
matter how many machines they use.
If it were not for our methods of doing
business there would be no small fac
tories anywhere and no prosperous
factories in small towns.
