make most excellent pastures. Rape,
cowpeas and oats are all good. Rape
and oats drilled in at the rate OF
five or six pounds of rape and bushe!
of oats to the acre, will furnish good
pasture from the middle of June to

be sown early in April. Rape alone
makes a good pasture through Au-

be sown the latter yart Of June At
the rate of eight to ten pounds per

then put on good pasture for q
while. Care should be taken not to
get the ewes in too thin condition
If they have raised lambs, they must
regain their strength and flesh dur
ing the summer to put them in pro
per breeding condition by fall.
Too much is often expected Of
sheep. If weeds are allowed to ma
ture before sheep are turned on them
poor results will likely result. Old
woody weeds are very nnpalitable
and have very little feeding value
The sheep should be turned onto the
weeds when they are young and ten

will nip them to the ground, stopping
their growth and killing many OF
them.

Through the summer the ewes
should have frequent change Of pas
ture. When one pasture becomes
short they should be moved onto an
other, which will be fresh and clean.
This system is preferred rather than
large pastures where the sheep would
lie forced to Craze over grass infected
with worms from the droppings of
the other sheep. If such a series of
small pastures are provided. tho ewes
can be changed to new grass before
the pastures become badly infested.
This practice of changing pastures
every two or three weeks is one Of the
best methods of combating and hold
ing In check the intestinal parasites,
which are the worst enemies Of the
sheep industry in Missouri.
The shade in the pasture is very
important. During the summer sheep
do all their grazing in the early MORN

o'clock in the evening the ewes
enjoy a cool dark shelter, away from
the flies and the sun.
Trees afford a good shade but have
some disadvantages. The area under
them soon become badly infested with
the intestinal parasites. and the flies
are bad during the hot summer days,
These reasons make darkened, well
ventilated barn or shed much prefer
able. Sheds or barns may be fire..
quently cleaned and thoroughly disin

Sheep do not drink large amount
of water, but it should be clean and
fresh. Never force them to drink from
shallow, stagnant ponds, as these are
the best breeding places for stomach
worms.
A good pasture will furnish all the
