lived on the young game during the
spring and summer and preyed on the
sheep whenever they were not watch
ed, and especially in winter.
The old dog license law merely
meant that a dog was commonly 81 q
year hungrier for sheep. The general
law permitted a sheep owner whose
flock had been ravaged to sue the own.
er Of the dog, but commonly the owner
owned nothing but dogs. and the sheep
farmer could not recover. Moreover.
II the sheep owner shot a stray dog
IN his premises the wner of the dog
could sue the farmer for damages. Tla'
farmers Of Virginia grew tired Of hav
ing their waste land idle and finally
induced the legislature to pass a new
and stringent dog law. This law, when
adopted by a county, makes 1t a mis-.
demeanor for the owner Of a dog to
allow that dog of his WI property
unless he is with the dog. In the case
Of incorporated villages and towns the
law permits the licensing of dogs. but
makes it a misdemeanor for them to
be alone outside Of the incorporated
limits.
The indirect effect Of this law Is to
allow any farmer to shoot a lone dog
on his property. The owner of the dog.
before he car bring suit for damages
Tor the killing Of the dog. necessarily
must establish proof that the dog was
t large and thus subject himself to
. 1ne up to $50.
Although the law was passed very
recently. a number Of counties have
signified their intention Of making it a
county rule, and in these counties own
ers Of waste land are already making
preparation to establish fiocks Of sheep.

Saves Labor of Harvesting and Pigs
..,>> Make Better Gains.
l. Prepared by University of Wisconsin,
Many consider it a shiftless method
to turn swine into small fields Of ripen-
ed corn and. allow them to harvest the
crop. However, there are many nd
vantages to be aimed by following this
system where hogs are being fall fat
tened.
Farmers as well as investigators at
the agricultural experiment station.
University of Wisconsin. have found
that. besides saving the labor Of har-
vesting the crop, the pigs are usually
more thrifty, make slightly better gains
and If properly handled there is little
or nc waste Of feed.
OF course In "hogging down" a field
ARE should be taken in getting the
swine accustomed to the full ration of
corn to prevent them from over eating
at the outset. Spring pigs are best for
this system of feeding. 1t has been en-
timated that an acre of corr yielding
fifty bushels will feed twenty spring
pigs for from eighteen to twenty days.

est producers, while some Of the ami
mails thought to be scrubs will be
worthy Of a place in the constructed
herd. No time should be lost in dis
posing of the unproductive cows. A
market can readily be had for those
in good condition. while the money
received for their sale can be most
wisely expended by purchasing a sire
and two or more dams of a dairy
breed. These new animals should not
be purchased without first knowing
their record Of production.
II the time. labor and expense Of al

were utilized in the care Of the better

full and the profits manifold. Think of
caring for half the number of cows in
your herd and getting twice as much
profit from their maintenance. Every
COW should be given a thorough test
under the most favorable conditions,
and. If then found wanting. the sooner
she is disposed Of the better. No COW
should be condemned before testing,
for the animal that lacks quantity

a high percentage of fat.

HOUSE

The only house that is suited for
poultry is n with a dry interior. No
n car succeed in keeping hens that
produce eggs II they r kept in houses
that have damp floors and therefore
damp interiors or in houses that are
not clean and thus more or less infect
ed with insect vermin. says the West
ern Poultry Journal. Whenever there
is dampness within a house the hens
will suffer from cold, the floors will be
filthy, the interior Of the house will be
unfit for the hens to live in, and insect
vermin will grow quickly under such
conditions.
Sunlight, fresh air and perfect dry.
ness are essential for success in pOul-
try keeping. They are the surest RENE
dies against disease. The hens that
are kept under such conditions are apt
to be profitable, whereas those that
are kept under adverse conditions are

SOME EXPERIENCES !.
With MUTTON BREEDS

On rather cheap. rough land. not
well adapted to cultivation, NJ breed OF
sheep will do better than the; 'Merinos.,
writes Il. p. Snyder In the National
stockman. They are hardy, not as na-
BILE to disease as mutton breeds, shear
more wool, live to a greater age and
don't harbor ticks and internal para
sites IKE their coarse wooded cousins.
I have known men to change from
nne to coarse wooded sheep and within
three years be glad to drop them and
90 back to the Merinos.
With ticks, internal parasites, tend
ency to colds and catarrh, need OF
The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1914-11-13

greater range and more liberal feed
and inability to flock well to contend
with, the man who has always kept
Merinos o becomes disguised with
the mutton breeds.
During the early nineties, when wool
went to 10 cents per pound, intro
duced a mutton bred ram and for three
years raised crossbred lambs for mar
ket. l had good sized, smooth Delaine-
Merino ewes and got large, thrifty
lambs that I sold early in winter and
did better than l would have done had
l followed my old way Of raising Me
rino Limbs, feeding through the winter
and shearing on account of the low
price of wool. But l had a world Of
trouble with ticks and stomach worms.
In fact, l then lost my first and only
lambs with stomach worms, and every
coarse wool ram l bought died before
reaching the age of three years. The
man who keeps only a few sheep as
a sort of side issue to clean up the
waste places on the farm will do we'll
with them If he keeps the ticks down.
I have in mind now a man who last
fall sold his early spring lambs in
October at 6h cents per pound, and
they weighed ar average Of STU
pounds. Their dams were large, coarse
wool ewes Of nc particular breed and
their sire q Shropshire. Another man
sold his mutton lambs right of the
ewes at about three months old at 81
cents per pound, and they weighed
fifty-two pounds each.
These and other instances of good
weights Of mutton bred lambs that I
might cite would indicate that greater
profits could be obtained from them
than from the smaller and slower grow
ing Merinos, but when we remember
that a greater number of Merinos
could have been kept on that same
range and feed and that there would
have been far less risk from parasites
and diseases to which the mutton bred
sheeR are more subject it is doubtful
as to which breed would give the
greater profit.
