sheep can feed from 1t at the same
time.
Although we may vary the forms of
the feed racks to meet the condi-
tions of the buildings, yet one point
should be kept in mind and that is to
build them SO that the side the sheep
feed from shall be uniformly perpen-
dicular, in order to prevent the dirt
from falling on the lambs and becom-
ing mixed with their wool.
The rounds should be placed sufii-
ciently close to each other to prevent
the introduction of the lambs heads
into the, rack.
II permitted to do this, they will
only select the choicest portions of
the fodder and waste the residue and
then there is some danger of them
getting hung or injured.
Troughs for feeding grain and roots
may be conveniently made by mailing
together two narrow boards and piac-
ing them in an opening sawed in the
shape of v in thick board.
This makes convenient and por-
table trough, sufficient for every prac-
ticable purpose.

OBJECTION PLACED ON AGE
But Young Lady's Idea Was Altogether
Different From What Corporal
Had Feared.

What pensions. what millions and
billions in pensions. this horrible war
is going to entail" said Major Fitzger-
aid of Boston. He added:
''And some of these pensions will go
on longer than they should. because
some of the pensioners in their old
age will marry young girls-for an old
pensioner makes good parti. since
his pension, you know. falls on his
death to his widow.
Il heard the other day about an old
Civil war pensioner who proposed to
the hired girl next door. a very pretty
girl of twenty or so. But she refused
him.
Perhaps he stammered then,
stroking in his embarrassment his
long and snow-white beard. perhaps
am too old
mo said the pretty hired girl
calmly; no. corporal, you're too
young"

The winter arrangement of feeding
sheds and yards is of the most i'm
portance of aAy phase of business.
If possible, they should be fed inside
of the sheds at all times.
Feeding racks may be placed SO that
they will form partitions for the va
rious enclosures, thus doing away with
timber used fos the purpose.
A good practical feeding rack may
be made by splitting one long pole
or using two smaller ones. and through
these should be bored holes about four
inches apart and one inch in diameter.
!. The rounds, which should be made
Y iSout three to three and one-half feet
in length, may be made either from
sawed lumber or round stuff.
The horizontal poles should be
placed on stakes about one foot from
the ground and form a rack about two
feet or three feet in width.
A similar rack. although presenting
but one side, may be constructed along
the sides of the shed.
When constructed on the side it
will not need to be more than one-half
as wide, as only one-half as many

SUCCULENT FEED Is
REQUIRED BY EWES
Best Pasture on Farm Should Be
Saved for Them-Ram Also
Needs Good Attention.

II big crop of strong lambs is to
be expected 1t never will come from
ewes that are half starved at mating
time. Often the ewes are run down
by nursing lambs and then going on
bare pastures to fight flies after wean-
ing. They soon draw upon all of their
spare or slowed up tissues and be-
come weak and thin. If bred in this
condition they do not tend to produce
twins. but have singles and these Of
ten are puny and die at birth. For a
crop of big strong lambs, made up of
doubles and triplets, feed the ewes
generously, and also the male. They
should have the best pasture on the
farm, specially saved for them, and
here they should also have a mixture
of whole oats, wheat bran and oil meal
or cake. 1t also is well, If possible,
to supply cabbage or roots or an
abundance of green fodder. At first
the ewes may have half pound each
per day of the grain mixture and this
may be Increased to three quarters
of a pound day, If the pasture is
good. A little more may be fed, If the
grass is poor and the ewes are down
in condition. Feed the male in the
same way and take him to the eve
pasture night and morning. Do not
allow him to run with the ewes. The
extra feeding ("tipshing") of ewes and
ram should commence two or three
weeks prior to the mating time and
continue through that period; then the
ewes should be well fed in winter.
Give theIn plenty of exercise every
day. Prefer mixed clover or alfalfa
hay to any other. Keep the ewes from
eating much coarse. bulky slough hay
or timothy hay, or weathered corn fod-
der. Supply succulent feed. such as
roots or silage, allowing not over two
pounds per day of such feed for each
eve. II this is done and the ewes
are kept from wet and storm, good
luck should attend the shepherd as
the reward of his labor.

Prevent Hog Cholera.

1t is much easier and cheaper to
prevent hog cholera than 1t is to cure
it; its control is largely in the farm
er's hands. Keep your hogs in a
healthfui condition by cleaning up, dis
injecting and using care in feeding
and watering. 1t is well to keep coal
screenings, which can be had at a
small cost. by the hogs constantly.
Look to the health and comfort of
your hogs and you will be well repaid.

A REBELLION
! Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot of
abuse, but sometime 1t will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick.
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: Three
years ago / was very i'll with catarrh
Of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. laid in bed four
months and my stomach was SO weak
that could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation that my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair. 4
But weak as my stomach was, It
accepted, relished and digestee Grape
MUS without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
Il am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. l rely on Grape-Nuts for
much OF the nourishment that ! get.
The results have certainly been won

Rouah Feed for weanIina.

Timothy and clover hay mixed will
make a good rough feed for the wean-
ling foal. Wheat bran is mild laxa-
tive. and contains a goodly proportion
of mineral matter for bone building.
Oats are a bulky feed to feed as a
grain ration. They prevent over-eat-
ing and are an excellent nitrogenous
feed for building muscle and blood.
Muscle and bone are required more
than fat in young horses, SO too much
corn should not be fed. as it is a fat
and heat producer.

Feeding the Calf.

The essential points to be kept in
mind are the following:
Do not overfeed.
Feed warm milk.
Feed sweet, fresh milk
Feed each animal individually.
Feed regularly.
Keep the pals and quarters where
the calves are clean.

Winterino Weak Animals.

The weak colt, calf or pig should
have special attention at this season
of the year. If they go into the win

good animal are slim. Prices are too
high to take any chances on these
young animals taking up the slack
without special care.

prv Quarters for swine.

Young pigs need dry, clean quar-

dry, clean pens. preferably with

Many more young pigs are overlaid
