Hardwood Ashes.

Ashes from hardwoods (deciduous
trees) are richer in both phosphorus
and potash than those from pines and
other softwoods (conifers). Ashes
from oak, elm. maple and hickory have
more potash than those from pine.
The ashes of twigs (faggots for ex-
ampie) are worth more for agricultu-
raj purposes than the ashes of heart
wood taken from the middle of an
old tree. In general, the smaller and
younger the wood burned. the better
ashes. The ashes of coal do not con-
tain enough potash to make them valu-
able in this connection.

The difference In the amount that

stallion service amounts to but little
in view of the fact that the colt of
the really good stallion may be worth
twice as much to his owner as that OF
the underbred horse. 1t is one of those
curious things that help to keep some
men from ever getting as much out OF
their farming and stock raising as
they should have.

fact that the only kind of horses that
are worth the trouble and cost of rails

The man who hopes to make little

SUDDEN CHANGE OF
FEED IS DANGEROUS
Dietetic Disturbances Cause Gen.
eraI Disorder and Several
Dead Sheep Are Found.

Loss of few lambs in the feed lots
is to be expected. But this loss in
some instances is far greater than 1t
should be.
When range lambs are placed on
a fattening ration the change of feed
is so sudden that dietetic disturbances
cause general disorder and several
dead sheep are found in the pens each
morning. This invariably leads to
the suspicion that they are dying of
some infectious disease.
In some cases the ration Is not well
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only very small loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw en-
silage, ETC., must be made gradually
and herein lies the secret of the
heavy losses of lambs in the feed lots
in the early fall. The desire to get
the lambs on a fattening ration as
early as possible and failing to appre-
ciate the danger of too heavy feeding
and change of ration, has helped to
make lamb feeding an Improbable
business in some instances.
A sudden change OF feed or over
feeding. should be guarded against
with all domestic animals. But it is
especially important with the horse
and sheep.
