GIVE ONLY BEST FOOD
TO EWES BEFORE LANDING.
After the Event Coed SuccuIent Feed
Is Needed Before Turning
Them into Pasture.

Ewes before lambing should receive
a good, wholesome feed, which will
keep them in a laxative condition.
says the Iowa Homestead. Well cured
a small grain ration and if possible Il
few roots or a little silage, although
silage sometimes causes trouble when
fed by an inexperienced person.
The grain ration most widely recon,
ended is n composed of peas, oats
or bran or a mixture of these and fed
at the rate of about half a pound Il
day up until lambing time approaches,
when the amount of grain nay be in
creased provided the ewes have plenty
of exercise.
After lambing the ewes should be
literally fed on any good succulent
feed before they are turned on pasture,
including plenty of grain and good
hay. Scotch shepherds prefer roots.
but most men in this country feed
silage. About two pounds of clover
hay and from one to two pounds of
grain will be required for the best
progress of the eve and the lamb. The
grain should consist of oats and bran,
with a little oilmcal added. The oil
meal is particularly necessary if you
do not have silage. AS soon as the
grass has made Il sufficient growth the
grain may be reduced and shortly elm
mated.
A New Method Of Growing Corn.
a report recently received by the de-
partment Of agriculture described Il
method of planting corn that has been
successfully tried out in western dry
land conditions in western Kansas. BY
this method the corn is planted in rows
twice the usual distance apart while
the plants are twice as thick in the
rows. The stand is therefore the same,
but as this method seems to preserve
the moisture midway between the rows
the supply is Otter sufficient to main
tain the corn in Il l%ouriShing condition
during temporary periods of drought.
while occasionally it may complete the
development Of tho crop. 1t was found
that by this method the yields were
around thirty bushels per acre, while
adjoining fields in which the rows were
three and one-half fee apart the yields
We're only ten to twelve bushels per
acre.

SUGAR CROP, 1874,
TEACREs LESSON

Continued from Page Seyen)
ccrned the year may be divided into
the following periods:
" J.. Season of low prices due TO heavy
production IN United States and Cuba,
and TO depression caused by tariff re-
duetion.
2. Recovery Of previous level fol.
lowed by higher prices due to the elm
nation of some of the domestic pro.
ducers and consequent prospective
shortage of domestic crops refners in
full control Of situation. G
3, Abnormally high prices caused by
European war at a time when the do
nestle crop was Off the market and
prices dependent on imported foreign
sugar.
Y, 4. Recovery of normal prices due
to marketing Of domestic crop.
Little. Benefit To Domestic Producers
Unfortunately for the American pro-
.ducers Of sugar, practically all of their
l9l3,l4 crop was marketed during the
early months Of the year before the pc
Rod of higher prices arrived. Much Of
the new crop Of beet sugar had been
contracted for Mt low prices before. the
outbreak of the war
The producers hope of benefit from
the present situation depends, there
fore, upon the continuance of the exist.
ing level of prices during the next six
months or longer. IN
Value Of Domestic Sugar Shown
One Of the noteworthy features of
the course of the sugar market during
the year was the striking demonstra-
ton il afforded Of the direct money
value of the domestic sugar industry
to the sugar consumers of the country,
During the early months of the year
the marketing of a mountaineering
domestic crop, added TO the heavy
Cuban crop, brought about period. Of
low prices. by May !, when this dom
estic supply was eut off the market
and il was definitely known that the
,19l415 crop Of homegrown sugar
would show decrease, prices adj
Ianced.
Effect Of Pacific Coast Sugar
Again, il was the coming to market
Of domestic beet sugar from the Pacific
coast that helped to break the high
level of prices III September and 10
bring about lower rates to consumers
On the other hand, the mueh<vaunt
ed influence of lowered tariff in de-
ereasing prices to consumers failed to
reveal itself.
For a few weeks after the reduced
rate went into effect slightly lower
price level prevailed, but as soon al
the competition of the domestic pro
duet was removed wholesale and retail
prices advanced 10 the level of the pre-
vious gear.
Only Beneft To Rehners Isl
The only advantage produced by the
tariff change was reaped by the big re-
fners il an increased margin Of profit
The only. injury suffered was inflicted
upon the producers Of raw sugar, who
were forced by the refners to aeeepi
lower prices. W.
The One Big Lesson G 8
The one big lesson taught by thu
, sugar history Of 1914 is the one offer
repeated BY those who are best inform
ed regarding the American sugar in
dustry, namely. that the only surf
guarapte TO Consumers, of o permanent
, supply Of cheap sugar Is TO. be fount
in the maintenanee and development
Of the domestic sugar industry.

Of yesterdays monster deal Is consid-

Because of the amalgamation of the
Interests Of the two sugar plantation

H. figured that in overhead charges

other expenses, there will be an annual
saving Of $4,000. This, in itself, il
considered one of the master strokes
of the diplomacy Of the fnanciers who
carried the deal through l
Enormous Combined Capital
The three companies concerned di
fectiy in the deal have combined
capitalization of $4,000,000 and are
bonded for ~, 100000, to which may b'
added the capitalization of the Paan

92,000,000, since this company is ont
OF the Hamakna concerns with con
4 tracts to- take water from the upper
and lower bitches. Paauhau is, how
ever, without any bonded Indebtedness
Thus, II will be seen that the four cor
p0fations directly and indirectly inter
