ECONOMICAL FEED FOR EWES
Circular Issued by Missouri Expert
ment Station Gives Results OBJ
tanned With Rye and Grain.

The feeding of ewes sucking lambs
is factor which materially affects
the profit derived from the produc-
ton Of spring lambs. q A circular just
Issued by the agricultural experiment
station at the University of Missouri
reports the work done with ewes
sucking lambs, fed on rye and blue
grass pastures. Ewes were placed in
four lots. In one lot ewes received
grain on rye pasture. Those in an
other lot received only rye pasture.
In third lot the ewes were fed grain
on blue grass pasture, while those in
lot four received only blue grass pas
ture.
The grain for both ewes and lambs
consisted Of equal parts Of crushed
corn, oats, bran and rape. The re-
suits show that the feeding of grain
to ewes on rye and blue grass pasture
was not profitable, if the ewes were
to be kept. If the ewes were to be
marketed with the lambs, the feeding
of grain would have been profitable,
because the ewes which did not re-
ceive grain became very thin and
were not in condition to sell on the
market, while those receiving grain
maintained about the same condition
of flesh throughout the experiment.
There was little difference in the
efficiency of rye and blue grass pas
lures for ewes sucking lambs. In
cases where grain was fed, the ewes
on blue grass had decidedly the ad-
vantage, while in the other two lots
in which no grain was fed, the rye
had the advantage. The difference in
each case was small. Rye will come
a little earlier in the spring than blue
grass, but will not afford as good a
pasture in June as blue grass, because
the rye heads and the sheep do not
like coarse, woody stems.

ORDER HAD HIM "IN THE AIR"
Boatswain's Mate Considerably Mud
died by Command That Was
Entirely New to Him.

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. AS Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, U. S. NJ, has shown in an article in
''The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidity.'' This was new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate become desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started on his way with push that
sent the youngster reeling, and fol-
lowed him with this shout:
go to the captain of the hold and
ask him for bucketful of it! l never
heard of anything to scrub deck with
but sand and lime, and I don't know
anything about these new Nsoogy-
moodgies,' anyway."-Youth's Com
panion.
