peas, oats, vetch, crimson clover anu
soy beans should constitute the prlncl-
pal, forages used. During the fall and
winter permanent pastures can Dc
used. Even regular fields OF winter
wheat and barley can be pastured
without injury to them.
When pasture is not available feed
hay or fodder to the flock. Keep up
the appetites of the ewes by adding
small quantities Of rape, collards,
chopped cabbage, or roots along Win
the hay. Do not feed roots to your
rams or wethers.
Begin feeding the ewes little grain
about two weeks before Landing and
gradually increase the amount to one
half pound daily at that time. After
lambing, slowly increase the amount
to one and one-half to two pounds
daily, and continue this ration during
the sucking period. Ewes need not
be grained when dry If good pasture
Is provided.
Give the ram just enough grain to
keep him in good condition. The
amount fed should be increased dur
ing the breeding season.
Teach the lambs to eat grain as
soon as possible after birth, and con-
tinually feed them what they will eat
clearly until ready for the market.
Feed them twice daily, using creeps
to keep out the ewes.
The following grain ration, general
/ ly available on the farm, is suitable
| for sheep: Corn, two parts by weight;
cottonseed meal, one part by weight
Probably August and September are
the best months for mating, as this
will bring your lambs in January and
February. Do not leave the ram with
the ewes continually. but take the
ewes to him for a few minutes each
morning. Allow only one service to
eve during each period of heat, but be
certain that the eve gets in lamb be
fore dropping breeding operation.
Watch the ewes carefully during the
lambing season, but do not interfere
with them unless necessary. Afte
lambs are born, see that they arr
promptly dried and sucked. Frequent
ly ewes disown their lambs unless
forced to nurse them.
Give the ewes little, If any, grail
ration for two or three days aftel
Landing. At the expiration Of thi
time it can be gradually given he
until the full ration Is reached.
In small f1ocks the fieeces can b.

The old man shouldered his rod

himself with a large glass of dark
beer and a good five-cent cigar. His
host, contemplating him in a friendly,

smoked, said:

the part of every grower in the en-
tire county," said DR.. Byrd. "and

activity on our part to entirely

give the state authorities our earn
est support from now on until every

DR.. Byrd said that the south Dade
growers went on record last night
as approving of the recent rulings
of the plant board and a committee
was appointed to inquire among the
growers of infected property to as
certain as to how many of these
would agree to destroy entirely, all
groves that were completely infect
ed with canker. tDr. Byrd explain
ed that it was not the desire to de-
stroy groves that were only part

ton to convince growers whose

to destroy these trees and replace
them with perfectly healthy plants.

HIS MOUNTAIN GIRL
BY RONALD ROSS.

Marvin was in his later thirties.
College bred. he had gone West after
making failure of his life. He had
no ties. Nobody in the world cared
for him. He wanted only to bury
himself In the heart Of the forest and
to forget
One day. as Marvin rode through
the woods. he came upon a slip of q
mountain girl bending over a brook.
Her bare feet were as brown as ber-
ries, her arms nut brown, her face
flushed with confusion as she raised
it to his.
They fell into an easy conversation.
Her father was small sheep rancher
living in the valley. She had no 9TH
er relative or friend except-Jim.
Jim was her lover, Marvin gathered.
He rode on. vaguely disconnected. The
thought Of the girl required to him
again and again.
He met her once more. twice-then
the day came when he rode down to
the valley to buy his supplies. And
he saw the girl at the door of the
ranch building.
Joe Cooper's gal" the storekeeper
told him. She's sort of queer. Old
Jim Bates Is crazy to marry her, but
he's In his fifties and the gal don't
care for an old man. Guess her father
will make her. though. He's eager to
get rid Of her-shiftless lot, them
Coopers."
Marvin, returning. saw a group Of
three at the door of the house. The
two men were arguing angrily with
the girl. Marvin thought he saw
tears on her cheeks. He pulled in his
horse; then slowly rode away. It
was no business Of his; he could not
interfere.
But the days hung drearily on his
hands. and he felt vague longing to
see the forest girl again. About q
week later his wish was gratifed.
She was coming along the trail,
sobbing. and when she saw him she
stopped dead and hid her face In her
hands. Marvin was at her side In q
minute.
You are in trouble" he said. What
can do to help your" Then in sud-
den realization, you were coming
to me?"
She nodded dumbly. II can't stand
for 1t in the valley" she said. II
won't marry Jim Bates. l won't. 1
hate him. All my life have wanted
to live in the mountains. away from
folks"
The stammered, foolish words were
almost inarticulate. Marvin under
stood the passion behind them, the
soul longing for freedom, cropping for
refuge from the petty tyranny of life.
He placed his arm around her. She
looked up at him. and their lips met
II. too, love the mountains" he said.
Would you come and live with me-
