MANAGING SHEEP IN WINTER
Where the Weather Is Severe Ample
Shelter and Food Must Be Fur
nished to Prevent Loss.

q
Even at the far south, sheep should
be provided with comfortable sheds,
and in those portions where SHOWS
fall, and the food is. destroyed by frost,
hay and roots OF good quality and in
abundance should be furnished. Where
the winters are severe, shelter and
food must be provided. The sheep
should be brought to the pens early
in the season. At the very first of
the feeding season, the oldest and
poorest Of the flock should be separat-
ed from the others and put upon high.
er keeping. They should have grain
in abundance and be made ready for
the butcher as soon as possible. Too
many sheep must not be kept in a
single pen. If the pens are small, or
the food is poor. large flocks will soon
become diseased, and the owner will,
sustain heavy loss. ~ 4
A good shed, which Is comfortably
warm and thoroughly ventilated.
should be provided. Sheep can endure
cold much better than they can i'm
pure air. Still they should not be ex-
posed to the action of wind or rain,
and the temperature Of the pen should
not run extremely low. Small pens.
which are quite warm, should be pro-
vided for the use of sheep at Landing
time, and for sheep which do not own
their lambs. The bottom Of the shed
should be kept constantly dry. Plenty
of straw or swale hay should be used
for bedding. $50 .5s

hand, 1t is simply ruinous to allow
them to get very thin in flesh. A va

Cause Of Goiter.

That goiter Is due to improper nu.
triton, is the theory advanced by DR..
David Marine of Western Reserve
university, in an article in the Jour
nal of Experimental Medicine. Or.
Marine found that trout fed upon liver
developed golfer, while those that had
their natural diet did not. He also
noted that the goiter was common In
parts OF Europe where one of the sta
pie articles Of diet is liver sausage.
He is not prepared to- call liver an
actual cause of the disease, but sug-
gests that it either lacks some nee
essary element Of nutrition or con-
tains an excess Of something which
makes the animal, in trying to utilize
it, exhaust other elements necessary
to nutrition.

ideal. Even Miss Mary could not re-
port her destined husband.
Henry Cornwall spent the most
miserable night Of his existence. He
was forty-tive years of age, too old to
obtain another position easily And AM
the very next term he might have
won his promotion and have been
placed in position Of comparative
aifiuence. More than that, Miss
Mary had always exercised q pro.
found attraction for him. He had
even dared to dream dreams concern
Ing her-to be realized, in imagina-
ton, when his salary automatically
aleaped from $500 to $4,000. And
now-even the dreams were too I'M
possible to be continued.
II told her now" groaned the un-
happy man, "she would think it was
only q scheme to avoid being report
ed"
But before he closed his eyes and
composed himself for his rest he came
to the desperate decision to make
personal appeal to her. Perhaps he
could convince her of his ability,
when she understood the circum-
stances. After all, five years as q
teacher did give him some right to
clemency. And next term.
The class was ominously quiet next
morning as Mr.. Cornwall Give min
utes late) took his station before It.
II there was tendency to suppressed
mirth on the part of the feminine
members, no linking of this reached
Mr.. CORVALLIS mind. He had decided
to make his appeal to Miss Moriarty
during the hour of recess. He was
going to ask her to see him, when she
came round on the matutinal inspec-
ton. But Miss Moriarty did not ap-
pear that morning.
At the hour Of recess he sought her.
He tapped timorously upon the door.
"Come H." replied voice, even
more timorous. 9e.a
Screwing up his courage, Mr.. Corn
wall entered the room. The redoubt-
able Miss Moriarty was seated at her
desk beside the window. She was
writing very quickly, and Mr.. Corn
wall had reached her side before she
looked up, just for an instant. Then
she motioned him to be seated.

II want to ask you If you couldn't re-
consider the matter of reporting me.

answered Miss Mary, softly.

An extraordinary change passed
over the principals face. She turned
quite white and grasped at the edge
of her desk.

suddenly the color flooded Miss Mary's
face again. 'That is why have been

The dark dairy stall is more likely
to be In evidence during the winter

was concluded that whole grain does
not fatten chickens, that 1t is cheap

that the best grains can be had by
feeding birds finely ground feeds when
confined in crates. The best returns
resulted from ration consisting Of
"a parts white bolted corn meal, 8
parts low grade -four and part each
Of oatmeal, pea meal, buckwheat mid
dlings, and wheat middlings. The
flesh OF the birds fed on this ration
was creamy white in color, the fat
was distributed over the body, and the

Feeding Stock.

There is an old adage that If every
feeder would keep it in mind and act
on it, not only with the sheep, but
with all his live stock, he would do
much better than the average feeder,
and that adage is simply this: An
animal well summered is half winter
ed and an animal we'll wintered
Is half summered," which means
that the year through you should keep
your animals in nice, smooth. plump
condition.
