FEEDING SHEEP
DURING WINTER
Value Of Regularity in Care Of
Animals Demonstrated by
Experiments.

Sheep should be fed regularly in
the winter. In fact as much depends
on the regularity of feeding as on the
feeding itself Those who are famil-
lar with the characteristics of sheep
know that they always become rest
less about feeding time.
The value of regular feeding has
been demonstrated by experiments
with two flocks, at a certain western
agricultural experiment station. One
Was fed daily at six o'clock in the
morning and again in the evening,
while the other was fed a different
times during the day. The result was
that the flock fed regularly turned
out in a thrifty condition in the fol
lowing spring, while the others were
thin and sickly.
Many of the latter flock had died
during the winter, fully eight per cent.
of the lambs had either died at birth
or made only a stunted growth. By
feeding at a set time every morning
and evening better results will be at
tanned. The essentials in the winter
care Of sheep are regular feeding,
plenty Of water and salt and rough
age.

PLANTING FRUIT
SEEDS IN FALL.
Will Freeze Sufficiently During
Winter to Cause Them to
Sprout in Spring.
CBv W. L. HOWARDl

Large seeds like peaches and plums
may be planted in the fall, and they
will freeze sufficiently during the win.
ter to cause them to sprout readily in
the spring Small seeds like the apple,
grape, etc, should be mixed with sand
in the fall or early winter, and placed
in a shallow, open box. The box
should be set fat on the ground on
the north side Of a building where 1t
will keep moist and remain there all
winter to freeze and thaw as oRau
as it will. The contents Of the box
should never be SLOWED to dry out
Very early in the spring. Just as soon
as the soil in the garden will do to
work, the seeds should be planted IN
rows and covered very lightly The
seeds may be separated from the
sand with a sieve, but this is unneces-
sary, as sand and all may be sown in
the row. Take care that the seeds do
not become dry before they are plant
ed. Apple seeds begin growing very
early, so that care mus be taken to
get them in the grcInd before sprout
ing begins.

AVERAGE QUALITY
OF OUR HORSES
Mare Owners Should Appreciate
Value of Pure-Bred Stall
lions in Breeding.
By c. w. MCAMPBELL, Kansas)

CBy c. w. M'CAMPBELL, Kansas)
Improvement in the average quality
of our horses rests with the mare own
ers and the sooner they come to real
lie and appreciate the value of, and to
demand the services of, good, sound,
pure-bred stations, the more certainly
and rapidly will the general average
of our horses be improved. 1t is the
intensified inheritance resulting from
many generations of breeding the best
to the best, using no outcrosses, and
always with the same ideal and pur-
pose in mind that enable the pure
bred" to stamp his characters upon
his off-springs. The grade" with two,
three or four topcrosses lacks this in
tensified inheritance of characters and
his diversified inheritance precludes.
his use as a sire. These are facts, not
theories. Practical illustrations may
be seen on every hand If we will sim
ply allow ourselves to see them. AS
an illustration, at a recent farm sale,
colts rising tree, uniform in quality,
ready to do considerable work the
coming season, sold at an average Of
$76 head. Colts rising two, averaged
SAG. The sires of these colts were or
binary grade stations whose service
fees ranged from Sc to 49, Weanlings
from the same mares but from very
excellent pure-bred stallion standing
for SIS, sold for SOL, this being $50
per head more than rising three-year-
olds brought, due entirely to the in
fuence of a good, sound, purebred
sire. The service Of grade or scrub
stallion is expensive even if given free
of charge On the other hand, do not
breed to a stallion simply because he
happens to be registered.
Beware Of stations that are heredi-
tarily unsound, for it is just as I'M
profitable to raise unsound hoFses as
1t is to raise scrub horses. You may
ask what is meant when certain un-
soundnesses are designated as heredi-
tary. 1t means that such unsound-
nesses are due primarily to weak
ness of the part involved and that this
weakness may be in the form of one
or all of the following conditions:
poor conformation, poor quality Of
tissue, or an Indifferent quality Of
tissue.

experience shows that a SOW that

one that produces more pigs and fails

Usually the sow has sufficient milk

A good herdsman appreciates his

planning for the past few weeks
n manual training shop for the
benefit of the boys of Big Stone

tools for the shop, while others
have expressed desire To con

expense of equipping the room.
The boys will have a share in
the work of building the work
benches, tool cabinets, etc, in
order TO obtain working
knowledge of the various tools
and their uses ms well as to save
unnecessary expense of more
experienced labor.
