ing breeding associations.
Place the tag in the lower part OF
the ear, fairly close to the head, with
the number on the inside. The label
should not be too loose or 1t may be
torn out. Neither should it be too
tight, or 1t may damage the ear Some
times the ears become sore from In
serting the labels, especially II the
operation is carelessly performed. The
lamb should be watched for time to
be sure that these heal. The principal
objection of ear labels is that they
may be torn out.
Notching is also good way to mark
sheep. Notches on certain parts OF
the ears indicate certain numbers. BY
series of notches any number de-
sired can be obtained. II on the right
ear tip notch counts 5, middle top 2,
top to head /, lower middle 4, close
to head, lower, 8, when on left ear.
the numbers may be made to count
into the hundreds.

ROADS
WIDE TIRES IMPROVE ROADS
Mechanical Expert Of Kansas cohess
Gives Farmers Advice easeo on
Practical Experience.

"Wide-tired wagons pull more easily
than narrow-tired ones 30 per cent OF
the times when they are used" says
r. A. Writ, instructor in farm me-
chanics in the Kansas state agricul-
tural college. Professor Writ has Just
completed experiments with wide and
with narrow-tired wagons.
Narrow tires pull harder than wide
tires, says Professor Writ, because the
narrow tire cuts deeper into the top
soil. The wide tire does not cut so
deep and makes better track on roads
which are travelled while the ground Is
soft. The wide tire packs the sur
face into firm roadbed.
The experiments show that in corn
fields, plowed fields, field lanes, and
on pasture and on alfalfa land, the
draft of the wide tire is considerably
less no matter what the condition Of
the soil.
In places where the mud is deep
and rolls up on the wheels, In ruts
made by narrow wheels, or In a sur
face of mud with a hard ground be-
meath, the narrow tire will pull more
easily. The narrow wheel fits the
rut, on the hard bottom OF which 1t
runs, and 1t collects less mud than
the wide tire.
Width OF tire and height Of wheel
have a great effect upon the draft.
The usual width of the narrow tire
is one and three-fourths inches, while
the wide tire is usually three or four
inches wide. The tires used in the
tests were one and three-fourths and
four inches wide respectively. Six
inch wheels are used only on low
trucks. One type of wheel rarely
found is the low wheel with narrow
tire. The draft with this is 90 great
that a team can hardly pull a load
In soft field surfaces.
A farmer who can AFFORD only one
wagon will find many factors enter
ing into his selection. II he has to
20 on the roads in all kinds Of wealth
er, he will find the narrow tires bet
ter because they will collect less mud
when the roads are bad. On the 9TH
er hand, II he goes only when the
roads are good, or uses the wagon in
the fields a great deal, he will find the

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Lambs Are More Susceptible Than
Older Anlmals-Glve Dose Of
Gasoline and Epson 9altG.

The stomach worm is the worst
pest affecting sheep. Lambs are
more susceptible than older sheep,
probably because the older sheep are
accustomed to the presence Of the
worm. In the spring, soon after lamb
ing, the old sheep should each receive
a dose of one to two ounces gasoline,
followed by a small dose Of epson
salts, After day or two they should
be placed in q worm-free pasture, If
possible.
In July treat the whole herd, In
cluding the lambs, with gasoline, and
turn them into new pasture, and re-
peat the process in November. Pas
ture rotation, combined with drugs
that are injurious to the worms, is .
practical method Of successfully COM
