"LOVE GOD" MADE MEN FOLLOWERS TAKE

Benjamin is the only man who

they submit to his wishes.

to prison in Detroit few years ago

Benjamin calls himself the Sew

lieves that the end of the world is
so very near he has taken uncom-
mon interest in gathering together
about half million dollars, besides
the 500 people he says belong to his
elect of $4,000.
In the last few years there have
been about sixty couples married in
patches of twenty at different times.
This was done, the women allege, by
Benjamin to protect himself.

So much depends upon the start the
lamb gets in his first two or three
weeks that we are justified in spend
ing as much time as we can possibly
spare in looking after the flock during
lambing time. II the weather is cold
and raw. the mortality among the
lambs is going to be much greater than
1t will be II the weather Is mild
through April
The April lamb has a much better
chance to do well than the lamb that
is dropped earlier In the season. How
ever. II they come on a chilly, damp
day, II will pay the owner to be near
at hand. where he will have a chance
to see that the youngster gets his first
drink of milk as soon as possible. That
will keep the new lamb from chilling,
and when he is once chilled, he is
sometimes pretty hard to get back on
his feet.
Where the lamb really gets a chill
ling, the best remedy is a bucket or
tub filed with water. well warmed.
writes Louis G. Hall of Kansas in the
Farm Progress. Place the lamb in
this for few minutes, take him out,
rub him dry and bundle him up un-
der stove or near a warm fire till
he is warmed all the way through.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
milk flow of the eve be kept up after
the lambs arrival Where you have a
few roots to feed before the grass
comes. these will work wonders in
stimulating the milk. Roots and a lit
tie grain will insure plenty of milk.

oats in eve feeding
When there Is some doubt as to
whether the eve is giving the lamb
enough. always fall back on bran as a
part of the ration. Bran will stimulate
the milk flow in the eve just as sue
cessfully as it does for the dairy COW,
and it should be kept up as long as

A brawny son of Erin was acting as

MEXICAN FEEDING
METHODS ARE GOOD
Successful Turkey Raisers Cook
Everything Fed Turkeys
Must Have Free Range.
cBy C. M. scHuLrz.)


Mexicans. who are successful tur-
key raisers. cook everything they feed
young turkeys. They boil meat. beans.
corn bread. onion tops. and most any
thing they can get hold of. and al
ways include red pepper. Most north
ern breeders would consider red pep
per. or even green peppers, too stim-
ulating. but the Mexicans. to our
knowledge. use 1t literally. with excel
lent success.
Young poults are fond of fresh
curds. and thrive on 1t. They must
be kept perfectly dry. as they are sub
1ect to roup.
AS soon the the poults come off the
nest they should be thoroughly exam
ined for lice. The best remedy is
lard and pulverized sulphur in a pro
portion Of about one-fourth sulphur to
three-fourths lard. This must be used
sparingly. by rubbing little of the
mixture on the top of the head, among
the pin feathers of the wings and
around the tail, and also along the In
side of the wings and about the
thighs.
II the poults do not seem to thrive
well In q week or two, they should be
again examined because more young
turkeys die from lice. perhaps, than
any other trouble. busting with in
sect powder also works well. provided

1t is needed. or course. there is usu-
ally very little trouble after the grass
comes
Plenty OF clover hay or alfalfa along
with little mixed bran and oats will
keep the lambs growing. That is a
point to be considered. am certain
that lamb that once gets a real check
in his growth never grows OUT just
as he should. OF course the eve must
be kept In as good general condition
as possible. Before grass comes there
Is usually some trouble from constipa-
ton among the ewes. Bran feeding
will relieve this condition and keep
the eve from letting up in her milk
production.
The eve is inclined to be little fe-
verish after lambing. and about all she
needs for the first day is little hay
and plenty of water For the first
week or ten days she should be
watched for any indications tina. the
udder is caking and given quick atten-
ton when trouble is found.
Within a couple of weeks after they
are dropped, healthy lambs will begin
to try TO eat They will nibble around
the trough when their mothers are fed
and they should be taught to eat at
that time II you wish to crowd them
along and get them ready for the fall
markets
The best plan is to fence of a little
feeding place for them where they will
not be bothered by the older animals.
One corner of the lot can be set apart
for them. Fix the fence SO the open
ings will be large enough to admit
the lambs and shut the old sheep out
Feed them cracked corn or at least see
that 1t is shelled. as they will not be

One Of the greatest obstacles in the

FARM FACTS.


(By Peter Radford, National Lecturer
Farmers Educational and Co-Opera-
tive Union of America.)
The need Of the rural communities
today is intelligent and consccTated
leadership.
The farm is the power house Of all
progress and the birthplace of all that
is noble.
The farm is the nursery of cfyiliza-
tion and the parsonage Of all religious
denominations.
The farmer asks no special privi-
leges The business of farming only
wants the same opportunities afforded
other lines Of industry.
1t is as much duty Of the country
pastor to exhort to us to own a home
while on earth as it is to inspire US
to build mansion in the skies.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are trinity of powerful influ-
ences that the farmer must utilize to
their fullest capacity before he can
occupy commanding position in pub
lie affairs.
