FERTILITY MEANS
VALUABLE ASSET
Gratifying Conditions Of the Sod
Are in Great Measure Under
Control of Farmer.

The fertility of the soil is not like a
bank account, which is tangible, in
sight, can be drawn out at one or
more times or at will Of the deposit
ors, says the American ,Cultivator.
The soil is an investment with many
qualifying conditions, viz Available
plant food. physical condition and
moisture.
These are in a great measure under
the control OF the farmer. lnasmuch
as no plant has the ability to make
something out of nothing, each crop
grown of necessity must take avail
able plant food out of the soil which
never come back in most cases. In
figuring the cost of production the
value of the plant food taken should
be charged against the crop Just as
much as that added In way of manure
or chemicals.
In our experience in footing the
cost of production We have charged
the loss of plant food against the
crop grown in proportion to the yield
In the legumes we have credited the
crop with the added nitrogen. And
that is not all--the improved physical
condition OF the soil has a value that
cannot be measured.
If we are not going to charge the
crop with the lost fertility that we
should not credit it with the added.
Rotation of crops may enable us for a
time to grow profitable crops, but
sooner or later our children or their
children will pay the penalty. Fertil-
ity means a valuable asset in the
farmers hands.

One pound of this mixture contains
the same digestive elements as one

point of energy value, the two feeds
are equal. pound for pound. The test
shows a farmer can better afford to
feed the mixed ration, with corn at IS

trouble. When the lamb comes re.
move the membrane from its nose and
see that it sucks at once. Never al

When a lamb Is day or two old
it can be placed with it's mother with

Examine the ewes udder carefully
and IL she seems to have mo- milk do
not be discouraged at once. Let the
lamb suck and she will probably
bring her to her milk in a few hours,
On the other hand, If the udder con-
tains too much milk, more than one
lamb can bring, allow an ol6er lamb
to suck the udder dry. This is very
important and should never be neg
lected.
II the eve does not have sufficient
milk for the first few days feed the
lamb on cows milk, diluted about
'one-fourth. A little sugar added will
make it more palatable and very often
the lamb will thrive from the very

The young lambs will begin to come
Along pretty fast now and II you
have kept q record of the service you
should know exactly when each eve
should drop her lamb. From 148 to
152 days from the time of service
the lambs should be dropped. If you
have taken good care OF your ewes
by feeding them on light ration of
corn, slower, bran, fine clover hay and
little oil meal toward the finish, you
may reasonably expect a good crop Of
lambs.
The good shepherd will see to it
that his lambs are entirely free from
ticks. At least six weeks before
larnbing time the ewes should be very
carefully examined and II there is
any sign of ticks they should at once
be dipped. Place the eve on its back,
part the wool along the belly, and
pour on the dip solution so that 1t
will run down and cover the entire
skin. Do not keep the eve on her
back too long, but place her on her
feet, part the wool along the back
and pour some of the solution ON 80
that it will run down and meet THAT
from the belly. 1t is a bad plan to
allow lambs to come when the mother
is covered with ticks.
There Is no such thing as raising
lambs, or rather. of bringing them
into the world in good condition.
When the man takes good care of hrs
ewes he is likely to have a good crop
of lambs. When he does not he will
likely have poor crop of lambs.
The breeding ewes should always
be separated from fat sheep and
wethers. and in no case should the
rams be allowed with them previous
to lambing time. Hurdles. four and
five feet long should always be in
readiness SO that the eve and her
lamb can at once be separated from
the rest of the flock. This Is espe-
cially important with twins, because
II one of the lambs should become
separated from the eve she will not
claim 1t again
Always arrange your pen SO that a
eve will never have to jump over a
gate or high board or run against
sharp corners. She should always
have plenty Of exercise and access
to water and salt.
In order to give ewes exercise 1t
is a good plan to place feed and salt
some distance from the fold in order
that they will go to 1t.
