FEEDING SHEEP IS PROFITABLE ON SMALL
FARMS.


FARMS.
observation the results have been fully
satisfactory. r. +. Chester Of Cham
paign county, H. has handled as many
as 1000 sheep at one time. His feed
ing animals never run less than GOO.
He says
"If every one else is buying in
Omaha | go to Chicago or Kansas
City" 1t is simply matter of buying
where demand is least and prices cor
rcspondingly lower. Likewise he does
not hold to the same class of sheep ev-
cry year, but buys lambs yearlingS or
wethers. He takes what looks best for
the feed he has on hand, varying this
enough to buy the kind that other buy
ers are passing up, Thus he gets them
at a reasonable figure, also securing
the kind that are likely to command
the higher prices when fattencd. Tn
doubtedly Mr.. CheSter's success in the
sheep feeding business is due largely
to his buying methods.
He believes in starting on feed easily
and carefully and follows practically
the same program every year. After
they have been on grass for several
days they are given little clover and
timothy. and the amount is increased
somewhat day by day. The idea is to
offset the green pasture grass and not
allow them to get too much Of It, This
/ is especially necessary in late fall
Except in fields to be cut for silage
or shock corn. Mr.. Chester always
sows rape in his corn. Then after
husking is finished the sheep are turn
ed In on the stalks and rape until
freezing weather sets in BY picking
out the missed ears in the husked field
they learn to eat corn AS the rough
age in the fields runs low he starts
feeding corn in the lot and always
figures on giving them just enough to
keep them hungry. This season he fed
shock corn at the morning and ear corn
at the evening feed. When foraging
in the field comes to a standstill they
are given access to hay and straw.
About Jan. he begins to feed silage,
1t is necessary to so slow with this
and not get up to the maximum amount
for about month. He feels that one
pound per head per day should be
considered the maximum. A small
amount of cottonseed cake is intro
duced into the ration in connection
with the silage. AS the sheep fatten
up and attain marketable condition
they are thinned out and shipped. In
this way no feed is wasted on prime
animals and, due to the thinning, the
backward ones are given a better
chance to take on the desired flesh.
Fertility is conserved to high de-
gree on this farm. 1t Is essentially Il
feeding establishment, and the inten-
ton is not to sell any produce of the
fields as such. Mr.. Chester under
stands the science of growing crops as
we'll as that Of feeding animals and
makes the two go hand in hand.

!. LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

1t is much cheaper to milk and care
for one COW giving 300 pounds Of but
ter fat in a year than it is to milk
and care for three cows giving 100
pounds of butter fat each, and If the
300 pound COW is heavily fed she Will
not eat as much as the three 100 pound
cows.
The financial success of the hog bust
ness is determined largely by the
health Of the herd. Health is most
easily maintained by preventive meas
ures. Cleanliness, the most neglected
and most influential factor, should re-
ceive first consideration.
Experienced horsemen say that If
water is given a short time before
feeding it will pass from the stomach
quickly and leave that organ free to
deal with the food afterward.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. c. BOWSFlELD

A neat financial turn may be made
on small or large farms by feeding
sheep, A carload of sheep may be han
died twice or three times year on a
place Of few acres, and two or three
carloads on the average farm.
A dollar head Is low estimate for
profit, and double this sum Is frequent
ly reached, The fattening Is accom-
plished In sixty to ninety days, and In
handling two or more lots in the year
inferior pastures are turned TO profit
able use. Sheep are adaptable to vary
ing conditions. They are easily housed
and aid In maintaining soil fertility or
In cleaning up wcedy fields, A moder-
ate amount of capital will serve for
such n feeding business, and the risk Is
less than with other animals,
Market facilities aud cheap transpor'
tation are helping to make sheep feed
ing n successful branch of farming. In
many cases that have come under my

Governor Gates was welcome and
honored guest at the boys conference
in Rutland last week. In commenting
the good work of the organization, he
said: 1.-THE most satisfactory work OF
my life was when, more years ago thar
| care to name, ! was a teacher in our
public schools. Brought into contact
with the young men and women | was
inspired to higher ideals, and lived witt
them in a land of idealism. We art

Puritan ancestors, their rigid example

COMMUNICATIONS.
MEN OF MIDDLEBURY.

To the Editor of the Register;
have talked with many citizens of
Middlebury lately, men of the better
class who aim for better town, and
the testimony of these citizens is that
liquor is sold in Middlebury today in
about the same quantity that would be
sold if the town had licensed saloons,
that the Middlebury which we take so
much civic pride in is really one of the
worst towns in Vermont in this respect,
and that there is likely to be little
change for the better for some time to
come.
In addition to these statements of my
fellow-citizens have to face accusa-
tons Of similar nature from people
outside of Middlebury, Notinfrequently
in other towns Of Vermont it is flung in
my face that Middlebury's reputation
for illicit selling of liquors is well
known up and down the State, and that
while the town votes no license every
year it really is wide open. do not
relish having my own nelghbors inform
me of such conditions in our very midst.
] relish it still less when citizens OF
other towns fling the statement at me
and am unable to assert that it is
false
Now either Mddlebury deserves this
unsavory reputation or it does not. If
il does not deserve it, if Middlebury is
clean in the matter of illegal selling
of liquors, let every citizen who re-
spects Middlebury's good name rise up
and put to shame every person at home
or in other towns, who would defame
the true character of our town.
But if the accusation is true that an
illicit trade in liquor is carried on in our
midst land the accusation is of long
standing) it is time that the men OF
Middebury asserted their manlness
and put stop to it, once and forever
If liquor is sold illegally and in large
quantities through the medium of hotels
stores, stables and boot-legs, put the
citizens who engage in such traffic ou
of business, whether they be suave OF
slippery in their methods. Put then
out The good name of MiddleburY is
worth more than the Infamous game OF
such citizens.
But how? That is the question thai
good citizens ask me and to prove that
it cannot be done they pay their respects
to our officers in way that, could oul
officers hear, would either stir them t
greater zeal in their offices or else cause
them to quit their offices at once. |.
such conditions as are claimed exist con
tinuously in Mlddlebury am ashamed
of every officer whose business it is t
enforce the law and cannot, and dis
gusted with any whose business it il
to enforce the law and will not. So il
every other self-respecting citizen.
Oh, for enough real men in Middle
bury whose civic courage reaches ia
enough beyond the threshold of thei
places of business to give Middlebury
different reputation at home and els
where in Vermont.

VERMONT OPINION
VERMONT CATTLE.
Rutland News.

One of the most desirable residents of
Vermont is that two-year-old Holstein
heifer owned at South Londonderry. In
a seven day test the animal produced
1898 pounds of milk and over II pounds
of butter. In one day the record was
81 pounds of milk. The more bovine
youngsters of similar productiveness
Vermont has the richer she will be.

OUTDOOR SPORTS.

The time will come when people in
New England will care as much about
outdoor sports and pastimes in winter
as in summer The cold winds may be
intentionally penetrating at times,
but the person who dresses to meet
low temperatures when on the ice or IN
the woods and fields in mid-winter
does not mind the cold. The air is
clearer and more celebrating than in
summer, and there is charm and fas'
nation about the woods that is not
equalled in the days of leaves anc
flowers. If people would get outdoor
half as much in winter as they do If
summer we would not hear about the
winter months being unhealthy. "

VERMONT POTATO FIELDS,
Rutland News.

Rutland NtWhs
A high school boy, and his name is
Roy Wilcox, of the Georgia shore,
Franklin county, has shown the
possibilities in potato raising in Yer
mont. In a contest conducted during
the past season, the result of which has
Just been annc unced, the young man
raised So bushels and 81 pounds of
tubers on one-eighth of an acre. The
production of Vermont potato fields,
could it he raised to this standard,
nearly 4SO bushels to the acre, would
multiply many fold the value of the
crop, and it would seem that what one
has done others may do.

WOMEN ON SCHOOL BOARDS
Burlington Clipper.

The Barre Times believes that greater
efficiency can be had in the schools with
more women on the school boards. This
is good logic. The education of the
children is much dearer to the hearts OF
the women than the men, and mothers
are better fitted by instinct and ability
to decide courses of study and school
management than the men. Their in
terest is much greater and the good OF
the schools under their management
would not be subject to any sordid mer-
cenary policy.

FARMERS CLUBS.

What is good for a farmers club is
good for a Grange. What is good for

And a conservation of energy by con-
solidating the interests of farmers
club and Grange, and carrying on the
work under the latter organization,
without interfering with either the
social or agricultural or domestic science
features of the club or Grange, would,
we believe, operate to the great adj
vantage of both.
