RATION FOR EWES IN LAMB.
Alfalfa Hay With Corn Makes an Ex-
celent Winter Feed.

Thousands OF ewes carrying lambs
are successfully fed in this country
every winter with no other feed than
good bright alfalfa hay, says the Ma
tiOnal StOckmIn. However, it viii do
no harm. and it may be we'll TO give
these ewes light ration Of corn in
addition to the hay, especially rs they
approach lambiRg time. If the ewes
are young they will do as well on the
whole corn as if it is ground.
In a large sized flock. however, some
ewes will not have the best of teeth,
and it will be well to crack the corn
but it should be coarse Sheep like
corn in this condition much better
than the meal. Start with a quarter
of pound of corn per eve per day or
even less and increase to half pound
as lambing time approaches If the
ewes are westerns that have not taSt-
ed corn start with but a few grains
per eve daily until they learn to eat
it. Give all the alfalfa hay they VIII
eat up clean. Supply plenty of fresh
water that is so clean you yourself
would drink it. Give salt regularly,
and it would be advisable to use 8
good medicated salt.
