KEEP FARM FLOCK HEALTHY
Sheep Thrive Mueh Better When Their
Skins Arc ClcAn-0ood Dip
Also improves Wool.

Dipping is essential to good flock
management. No farmer should at
tempt to raise sheep without planning
to dip them at least annually and In
most cases twice year, according to
the advice of II. e. Allen of the Indi-
ana Agricultural college When sheep
are brought to the farm from other
hocks, and especially when trans
ported there by railroads, they should
be thoroughly dipped before allowed
to mingle with the rest of the flock.
Experience has taught sheepmen
that sheep thrive much better when
their skins are clean, and 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that good
dip increases the quantity and i'm
proves the quality OF the wool. II ia
impossible for lambs infested with
ticks or other parasites to thrive prop
erly, owing to the constant irritation
set up. In trying to get relief lambs
often nibble at the fleece and swallow
small portions of wool with fatal re-
suits. A good and regular system Of
dipping the entire flock is money well
expended. Hence most OF the leading
fockmasters dip twice in the year
once in the spring and again in the
fall.
The object Of dipping is to destroy
the parasites in the fleece, such as
scab mites and sheep ticks and
lice, and to prevent subsequent at
tacks from the same. In England,
where sheep raising has attained its
highest state of perfection, dipping is
required by law at least twice a year.
While dipping may not be done at
any season, it should, If possible, be
avoided In cold weather for obvious
reasons. The most favorable time for
the spring dipping Is a few days
after shearing time. By this time the
ticks will have largely transferred
from the ewes to the lambs. At this
time comparatively little material Ia
needed. II the flock is badly infested
it is important to repeat the operation
In ten days in order to destroy the In
sects that have Matched during the
interval. The flock should again be
treated in the fall, SO as to go into
winter free from parasites.

BUILDING UP A HERD
Robber Cows Should Be Disposed

Cheapest Way to Insure Profits 10 to

By R. G. wEATHERSTONE.)

AoJ H. VI W EAlE1Ef6TONEO
With butter selling to the city GUS
toner at 40 cents \ pound, and the
price OF feed for dairy cows soaring
upward every month, the question of
the robber COW becomes more interest
Ing every day. How any man can 90
along feeding lot of scrub COWS that
cost more than they earn is beyond
comprehension. II you have ten COWS
and the tester shows four of them do
not produce enough milk to pay for
their keep, why not sell them and put
the proceeds into one good cow-one
that will not only save the loss of the
robber COWS, but earn a net profit of
from $50 to $50 year? That is good
business sense, isn't it?
Here are some championship milk
and butterfat records that you may
want to refer to some time when you
want to know the possibilities of milk
and butter production: Jacoba Irene,
Jersey COW, made record of 1888
pounds Of milk testing 55 per cent.
butterfat, $3.50 pounds; Rena Ross.
AYRSHIRE COW, 1909 pounds of milk.
testing 426 per cent. butterfat, equal
ing 6,432 pounds in a year; Holstein
COW, Colantha Fourth's Johanna,
27432.5 pounds of milk, testing 3.64
per cent. butterfat, equal to 99S.26
pounds in year; Yeksa Sunbeam,
Guernsey COW, 14.92O.S pounds of
milk, testing b.74 per cent. butterfat,
equal to S5715 pounds in year. In
computing the butter yield, add Is per
cent to the butterfat records. These
are possible yields under the best con-
ditions by something less than one
