Detailed Plan Of Modern Sheep Barn.

by r. N. DoLvE. Professor of Agricul-
tural Engineering. North Dakota Agri-
cultural college.)
The gradual breaking up of the
great ranches OF the west through
the encroachments Of the settler has
made sheep raising on the farm high
ly profitable. Many grain farmers
are realizing that there is good money
In sheep raising when intelligently
managed. The greatest loss in sheep
raising on small scale Is apt
to occur during the lambing sea-
son and we'll planned sheep barn
should be arranged to guard against
that contingency. The accompanying
plan provides for a mans room in
which should be found a stove 80 that
man may sleep there during the
lambing season. Weak lambs can
usually be saved during the coolest
weather II artificial heat can be pro-
vided for a few hours. A horse stall
is also provided but this can be util-
lied as pen If the barn is located
in the vicinity of horse barn. Sep
Rrate pens are provided into which
sWss are placed during the lambing
ps91on after which these Enclosures
uay be used as regular feeding pens.
The Landing pens should have a
south exposure. II possible, so as to
secure the warmth and light Of direct
sunshine
The main part Of the barn is 36 by
70 feet and is divided into eleven,
10 by IA feet, feeding pens; 1t also
provides a store room, containing the

q their carcass, but rather enhances
It. because 1t reduces the amount OF
the cheaper cuts. They have good
lymmetry and quality which is re-
asctsd by their smoothness. Tho
head is polled, without scars. sur
mounted by sharp poll, compact and
fs6ned.
Feeding QuaIltles.-They are one Of
tho earliest maturing OF the beef
breeds. and are admirably adapted to
the production of baby beef. They
gain rapidly in the feed lot, put on
their flesh smoothly and evenly. ex-
calling all other breeds in this re-
spect. They have won more prizes in
the fat classes at the international
Live Stock exhibition held at Chicago
IN both the single and car load en-
tries than any other beef breed, which
tostiies to the fact that they meet
the market requirements for block
purposes.
Milking QuaiIties.-They milk well
for breed SO strictly beefy in type,
but they will not compare favorably
with tho dairy breeds in this re-
pDect.
Distrlbution.-The Aberdeen Angus
breed has become quite generally dis
tributed throughout the farming sec
lions Of this country, where beef is
produced. The states Of Illinois and
Iowa are the chief centers for the
pure bred herds. They have been in.
troduced to some extent into the
northwest during recent years. They
are not as we'll adapted for large pas
lures or range conditions as the Here
fords and Shorthorns.
