1t is a mistake to expect the goats
to live on brush alone. They will
live on grass alone, but thrive better
to have brush with it. The period
of CESSATION is about one hundred and
fifty days. The buck will serve from
forty to fifty days if he is left with
the does only during the night and
kept in quiet place by himself dur
ing the day. If he is allowed to run
with the does all the time, the average
buck will serve only about twenty or
twenty-five days per season.

Up to this time they are not very

as the kid can also jump this board it
can follow her. A still better method
is to have bridge with the high side

jump upon this to go out and the kids

(RY W. NJ. KELLY.)

(By w. M. KELLY)
Good stable management is an i'm
portant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because a COW
kept otherwise can never do her best.
She must have a comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sunshine
and plenty of light. She must have
pure air to breathe, and this means
that the stable must be provided with
some system of ventilation to give a
frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only
little forethought and few dollars
worth Of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice a day, or better still, have all
automatic water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should be all
smooth, and of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is
not expensive, and they are sanitary
and permanent.
Large, smooth, concrete hangers
for feeding are about the best we
know of today. Judgment and com
mon sense must be exercised in the
methods of feeding and handling the
cows. Fixed rules in feeding are not
practical.
Overlooking is wasteful; underfeed
ing is Improbable. The cows must be
we'll nourished at all times, but if
given more than they need for main
tenance and production they waste it,
as rule.
The quality of milk-that is, the
amount of milk and fat that it con-
tains-is controlled more by the con
stitutional characteristic of the COW
than by the feed.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time If you do, lot of it
is sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be
fore milking is much debated ques-
ton. 1t is not at all dangerous to
feed them little grain, provided you
stir up no dust or disagreeable doors
AS a rule, the COWS will give down
their milk more freely when they have
.contented minds, and little of the

FREE SHEEP FROM MAGG0Ts
Wool Should Be Clipped to Skin and
Spot Treated With Weak So
luton of Tar Dip.

Whenever a sheep has filthy spot
on any part of it's body or when it
continually twists about and bites the
wool in a certain place it should be
examined for maggots. The wool
should be clipped to the skin if found
infested and the spot treated with a
weak solution of coal tar dip.
If maggots have already lodged in
the muscles use a solution quite
strong. Pour the medicine over the
infested part and work it into the
holes made by the maggots. They
will soon come wriggling out. Tur-
pentine, which is sometimes used for
this purpose is harsh in it's action
and is not recommended on humane
grounds.

(By D. A. sPOONER, Oklahoma Expert

In this part Of the country it is pos
sible to manage goats without very
much shelter, but there are several
days during the colder part Of the
year when it would be an advantage
to have a shed opening to the south
built on dry, well drained land. Such
a shed should admit the sunlight from
the south and keep the rain and snow
off the backs of the goats. They could
then continue to grow instead of be-
ing checked in their development by
resisting the wet and cold.
In these sheds you could feed some
dry roughage-corn stovcr or some al
falfa or prairie hav-in racks that
will hold the rougF222 up. The goats

REASONABLE CARE FOR SHEEP
lncrease-Pastures Help Out
Feeding Problem.

To make the most of sheep one
must give them reasonable care at
least. Most of the profit lies in the
success with the increase, and if they
are allowed to go through the summer
in poor, scrawny condition, it will take
more feed to finish thom in the fall,
and the ones that are kept for breed
ing stock will be unfit to start into the
winter.
Our green pastures will help us out
greatly in feeding them, and in the
fall we will have our green corn and
perhaps sorghum to feed, but no mat
ter how plentiful the feed, we should
not fail to supply them with plenty of
clean water

right kind Of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind. Never clean the
stables just before milking, for 1t will
stir up tenfOld worse odor than any
feed the COWS will eat.
If there is any question before the
farmers of this country of more i'm
portance than that of conserving the
soils fertility, am not cognizant of it.
The most important business of
dairy farmers Is to increase the guam
tity OF manurial substances and apply
it where it is most needed.
All of the manure, both liquid and
solid, should be saved and applied to
the land. | believe it is best to haul
it from the stable to the field and
apply it as fast as made.
When all the liquids have been
saved by the use of absorbents, large
amounts of manure may be made and,
If it is hauled to the fields direct from
the stable, these liquids will drain
into the soil to the depth of the fur
row slice, and there will be little loss
from exposure.
In addition, the cows will not be
waddling knee,deep in the mire AMI
filth every time they are turned out
in the yards for water and exercise.
Most of the work comes at a time
when other farm operations are slack;
and the soil besides being enriched,
plows easier and works up better dur
ing the whole Of the next season, on
account of being made porous by be-
ing covered with manure during the
winter.
When hauling the manure from the
stable to the field we plan to haul to
the farther fields while the ground is
frozen and close to the barn while
soft and muddy.
There is no reasonable excuse for
dairy farmer to allow more than one
third of his manurial fertility to wash
away in dirty, filthy barnyard, and
spend one or two weeks during the
busy season in the spring to haul it
across the muddy fields to get it on
his land.
Cleanliness can best be secured In a
stable of plain, smooth construction
inside. The walls, ceilings, stalls, etc,
should be smooth and tight, and, IL
possible, washable. The relation of
cleanliness to a wholesome product
and to the health of the cows is vital.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-12-16

are as dainty as deer in their habits
and will not eat any roughage that
drops under foot. 1t is advisable to
have good roughage racks. Do not
feed very much if any grain. Much
grain will result in the kids being
weak and of small vitality. Goats
need plenty of range that they may
get exercise, for this is especially nat
ural for them, and without it they
are bound not to thrive well.

There are entirely too many un-
