Wrong Conception.

1t is indeed amusing the wrong con-
ception foreigners have of the dis
tances of principal cities in this coun-
try from the metropolis. The other
day a rich Spaniard arrived at a New
York hotel from Barcelona After
duly registering he phoned some wom-
an relatives, making a dinner engage
ment for p. m. at the hotel. Then
he disappeared. The women waited
three hours, but no don appeared.
They went home greatly alarmed and
reappeared early next day and re-
manned at the hotel all day. every
few minutes making anxious inquiries
for the missing Spaniard. About FIVE
o'clock in the afternoon, just as the
women were about ready to notify the
police, their relative strobe in, COW

peas, oats, vetch, crimson clover and
soy beans should constitute the princi-
pal forages used. During the fall and
winter permanent pastures can be
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 with
the hay. Do not feed roots to your
rams or wethers.
Begin feeding the ewes a little grain
about two weeks before lambing 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 II 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 a
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. After
lambs are born, see that they are
promptly dried and sucked. Frequent
ly ewes disown their lambs unless
forced to nurse them.
Give the ewes little, II any, grain
ration for two or three days after
Landing. At the expiration of this
time it can be gradually given her
until the full ration is reached.
In small flocks the fleeces can be
most economically removed by using
hand shears. After the sheep is shorn

fleece, carefully roll it up inside out,

Most farmers have, at some time OF
another, given some thought to the
question of raising cattle and hogs
Sheep, however, are a less familiar
idea to many. Nevertheless, sheep
have an important place on southern
farms. BY keeping a flock of six to
twelve ewes, the farmer can provide
himself with meat for the table, have
q few lambs for the market and Sc
cure additional revenue through the
sale of wool.
Southern farmers who would like to
get a start raising sheep may obtain
interesting information from certain
bulletins which may be had free OF
charge of the United States depart.
ment of agriculture, Washington,
D. C. The following may be applied
for:
Farmers Bulletin 576-"Breeds OF
Sheep for the Farm"
Farmers Bulletin 500 - Forage
Crops for the Cotton Region"
The first ewes can be native ewes,
purchased from nearby sheep owners.
Go into a flock and pick out vigorous
ewes with compact bodies. Get young,
healthy ewes. II you must buy old
ones, do not take those having spread,
broken or worn-off teeth. Such ewes
cannot eat well and will make no
money as breeders for their purchas-
ers.
Do not use any but good rams of a
mutton breed upon your ewes. A
Southdown, Shropshire, Hampshire or
Dorset Horn ram will prove most de-
sirable. He should be about two years
Of age. healthy, and carry plenty OF
mutton. Such a ram will cost, deliv-
cred, from fifteen to twenty-five dol
lars, and can be bought by a half doz-
en- farmers dubbed together. He will
breed from forty to sixty ewes.
Sheep do not require closed build
ings for protection from cold, as their
fleeces do that If kept dry. A low shed
built on dry ground and opening to
the south, is sufficient. Such a shed
need cost but very little, as scraps of
lumber about the farm can be utilized
in building 1t.
Place your flocks within a dog-proof
fenced Enclosure at night, as dogs
often attack and destroy sheep. A
fence that will turn a dog must be at
least fifty inches high, have a barbed
wire stretched fiat to the surface of
the ground at its bottom and three
barbed wires seven inches apart
stretched at its top. The space be-
tween the barbed wires can be filled

Often ewes become "taggy" or hate
dungy locks collect on the wool about
the tail and between the hind legs
Such locks should be cut OF and the
ewes kept clean about this part of the
body.
Ticks and lice frequently infect
sheep. Guard against this by dipping
once each year in dips sold for this
purpose. A rain barrel or tub can be
used to hold the dip. Pick the sheep
up bodily and work 1t around gradu-
ally in the dip until all parts are sub
merged and drenched to the skin.
Keep. salt before the flock at all
times. Sheep require a great deal Of
salt and it is essential for them.
Give the sheep access to all har-
vested and vacated fields, but do not
depend entirely upon such forages.
