An excellent oldfashioned way to

inches deep and three feet across. In

knocked out. Then fill the space
around the outside Of the cask with
a compost Of good loan and rotted

WHY IS POULTRY VAlUABLe7
Professor Gilbert Of Canada Gives
Eight Good Reasons In Answer
to Pertinent Question.

Why Is Doultry valuable to the
dreds OF tillers OF the eoil who usu.
ally keep but few chickens. and
these mixture Of all breeds. Profes.
sor Gilbert of Ottawa, Canada, gives
the following reasons I'm answer to
this pertinent question::
1. Because he ought, by their means
to convert great deal Of the waste OF
his farm into money in the shape OF
eggs and chickens for market.
2. Because. with intelligent manage
ment, they ought to be allyear reve.
nue. producers. with the exception OF
possibly two months during the moult.
ing season.
3. Because the poultry will yield him
a quicker return for the capital in.
vested than any Of the other depart.
ments Of agriculture.
4. Because the manure from the
poultry house will make a valuable
composite for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them.
selves. II allowed. will destroy all In.
furious insect life.
s. Because, while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown in Ger.
tain sections. poultry can be raised
for table use or layers Of eggs in any
and every part OF the country. and
at all seasons.
6. Because poultry raising is an EN-.
ployment in which the farmers wife
can engage and leave him free to at.
tend to other departments Of farm
work.
z, Because 1t will bring the best re.
suits In the shape Of new.laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has the most time on his
hands.
8. Because to start poultry on the
farm requires very little capital.

Growing pigs always pay their

Fix a lamb creep to exclude the
ewes, sprinkle little bran in the
troughs and you will very soon have
the lambs eating.
A flock of sheep will get more sub.
stance on poor land and at the same
time do 1t more good than any other

There are too few good colts raised

HlLLY PASTURES FOR SHEEP
Low Wet Ground 10 Conductive to
Foot Rot-Feet Should 6e Ex-
amlned and Hoof Trimmed.

The sheep is a highland animal by
nature. Low wet ground is injurious
to its feet. The sleeps toes are very
flexible. Between the toes Of each
foot is an oil duct, which pours oil
between the toes so as to reduce fric-
tion. In low, soft ground the mud
squeezes between the toes and clogs
this duct. The toes will spread quite
far apart and SO easily that the plate
OF mud accumulates and hardens and
irritation is set up which results In
pus formation that finally sloughs of
the hoofs II not cured. OF course this
does not happen every time a sheep
gets muddy feet. But II compelled to
live In mud. there comes time when
the mud lodges with injurious results.
We are not sure that foot rot is a
bacterial disease. 1t may be so. Sure
ly q bacterial infection could readily
enter after the Inflammation becomes
chronic. Sheep have little resisting
power over their enemies so q little
ailment does great damage.
When your sheep get to limping or
walking stiff, examine the feet. It
may be they only need their hoofs
trimmed. II dry mud is between the
toes. clean It out and rub q little
grease between the toes. Then see
that they have Q clean dry place
where no mud exists. Give your
sheep the hilly pastures and not the
tow land.
