cows MILK FOR THE LAMBS
Ordinary Baby Bottle and Nipple VIII
Be Found Satisfactory in
Raising Orphans.

If properly handled, the orphan
lamb or the lamb which its mother
refuses to own can be raised success
fully on cows milk Sheep milk is
nearly twice as rich in fat as cows
milk, which for the lamb should there
fore be enriched by the addition Of
pure cream. Since the lamb usually
nurses it's mother at least once each
hour it should be fed on cows milk
at the same intervals, especially for
the first ten days or two weeks, after
which the intervals may be gradually
heightened.
While the lamb is very young it
should not be given more than two
ounces Of milk at a feeding, as this is
all he would take from his mother.
Use an ordinary baby bottle and nip
pie. When the lamb is ten days or
two weeks Of age it will commence
to eat little, and from this time on
should gradually be encouraged to-
procure most of it's nourishment from
grain, roots, etc.

WATER WORK-HORSEs OFTEN
Quite Profitable and Humane to Pro-
vide Means of Giving Water
Throughout the Day.

Some farmers find it quite profitable,
and certainly quite humane, to give
their horses bucket of water several
times during the long mornings and
afternoons Of the summer. For Jnis
purpose they arrange a barrel on a
small sled and each morning take it
with them to the field.
During the long mornings and after.
Moons it will be found to be profitable
to give the teams a bucket of water.
The horses do not drink much at a
time, but they do relish it, and it
stimulates them and in no small man
ner averts the danger of overheating.
Users of horses in cities know the
value of watering them often, and they
do not pass drinking place without
offering their horses water. These
teams are generally worked under
high pressure and under DISTRESS ng
conditions, yet with fair treatment the
horses stand up we'll and do a great
volume of work. In the dirt and heat
Of the great cities it is safe to assume
that if the practice of watering only
three times a day were observed,
much less work could be done and
many horses would fall victims to heat
and OverWork.

thus far taken at the suggestion of the
South African Association for the Adj

This Poster Conforms to Law.

There is one industry in the state
where advertising is compulsory by
laW-horse breeding. Owners of Wis
consin stations used for public service
are required to issue properly printed
posters truthftIlly describing their ami
mails. This is done in order to pro-
tect patrons against possible fraud.
To men interested in improving the
standard of Wisconsin horses it
means much just how these public
service stations are advertised. In
former times it was common for non
descript horses to be advertised as
pure breds and described in glowing
adjectives, set in bold-faced type, ac-
companied by "stock cut" showing
proud, housekeeping trotter or a ma
jestic, irOn-muscled drafter, as the case
might be. This form of questionable
business almost put the advance
agents of One-ring circuses to shame.
Most patrons Of these inferior stall
hons only found this out when it was
too late.
According to present law, enforced
by the department of horse breeding of
the University of Wisconsin, there is
penalty of from $40 to $50 fine, or so
days in Jail, or both, for violation of
the rules governing stallion advertis-
ing.
Although ignorance of the law ex-
cuses no offender, it is we'll to give pub
licity to this important matter of reg
ulating advertising of stations so that
breeders may be on their guard against
new violations.
Here are the points required to
make stallion poster legal:

ton, whether pure Bred" "grade,"
''cross breed" or ''mongrel or scrub"

RIGHT MANAGEMENT OF HOGS
Protection From Sun, Pure Water and
SuccuIent Grazing, Are Three
important Factors.

Sun shades, pure water and succu-
lent grazing are three very important
factors in the summer management
of swine. Hogs suffer more from heat
than any other class of animals. When
they were removed from their native
shaded haunts, and confined in pens
and open yards, exposed to the hot
rays of the sun, and by the change
transformed from lank, large-lunged
animals into modern fat-backs, they
were made peculiarly susceptible to
the sizzling rays of the summer sun.

GROWN
IN EVERY COUNTY
BY L. r. GRADER,

Secretary of Alfalfa Growers Assn.
Although alfalfa is now being grown
In every county of the state, more
Wisconsin farmers should raise this
crop and many who now grow it should
increase their acreages.
No other forage combines so many
essentials of merit as does alfalfa. 1t
surpasses other crops in acre yield, in
feeding value and in it's beneficial eff
feet upon the soil.
Twenty years ago alfalfa was prac-
tically stranger in Wisconsin, but its
introduction has gone on at a rapid
pace until it is estimated that not
less than $4,000 acres of this great
forage crop are now grown IN the
state.
With an acre value nearly twice as
great as that of clover or timothy, 1t
seems that Wisconsin farmers have
sometimes overlooked the value Of the
alfalfa crop But $4,000 acres of alfalfa
were grown within the state in 1909,
as compared with two and a half mil
lion acres of timothy and clover.
The credit of being the first man in
Wisconsin to recognize the value of
alfalfa belongs to ex-Gov. W. D..
Hoard, who for more than twenty
years has been growing the crop.
In 1904, 345 of the 1900 members
of the Wisconsin Agricultural expert
ment association were supplied with
enough alfalfa seed to plant a half
acre. This was the first statewide
test to determine the possibilities of
alfalfa growing within the state. In
this test there were no absolute fail
ures reported and but 20 per cent of
the members failed to secure good
stands. This introduction of alfalfa
throughout the state was an encour-
aging factor in the early promotion
Of alfalfa growing. It was an i'm
portant source of information regard
ing the proper method of growing a
new and valuable crop.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1916-07-06

While at first, alfalfa was grown
only in small areas of from one to
three acres, there are at present farm
ers in Wisconsin who for ten years
have devoted from 80 to 100 acres to
alfalfa. One farmer near Waukesha
has more than 100 acres Of alfalfa
and another near Monroe has more
than 100 acres.
In no case should these facts influ-
ence the inexperienced alfalfa grower
to seed more than two or three acres
at the outset. A careful study needs
first to be made to determine the
adaptability of the soil and the gen
eral farm conditions for the crop.
Large areas should never be seeded
until experience in growing and han
ding alfalfa has been gained.
Upon the new lands. especially in
the upper part Of the state, clover is
so easily established, and yields such
abundant crops of fine nutritious hay.
that the Importance of alfalfa is not
felt so keenly as in the older agricul-
.ural sections of the state. The al
falfa plant does not Geem to thrive as
well on the newer soils which have
not been subdued by cultivation and
cropping for number of years. How
ever, there is not county in the state
where alfalfa is not being grown, and
although the southern counties will
continue to lead in alfalfa growing
eventually this valuable plant will be
grown widely throughout the entire
state.

VALUE OF DAIRY PRODUCTS

People do not know the value and
economy of dairy products, else more
would be consumed. The per capita
consumption of milk is something less
than one-half glass per day; of but
ter about 1-12 Of a pound; of cheese
900 of a pound of ice cream. two
teaspOOnfuls per day. The city house
wife must be educated until she knows
the true value of dairy products, not
as necessaries as she IS using these
products now, but as economical food
stuffs which can take the preference
over many other articles she is now
using.
The idea so prevalent that dairy
products cost more than other foods
is entirely erroneous. That an s.
cent bottle of milk contains the same
nutritive value as IA cents worth
of beef is something that is not gen
orally known. Nor is it of general
knowledge that the Scent bottle Of
milk contains the same nutritive value
as % cents worth Of eggs, IA cents
worth Of cabbage, 81 cents worth Of
string beans, or 50 cents worth of
tomatoes. Yet, these are the unques
tionable figures Of the data compiled
by one of the leading state food Gym
missioners.-W. e. Skinner.

cannot be printed beneath it.

TREATMENT FOR MALE LAMBS
They Should Be Castrated When Very

Is Not Very Great.

When male lambs are not sold
promptly, it is important that they be
castrated. They will sell better, make
better growth, and give less trouble.
They should be castrated early, as the
danger is then very slight. The main
point in castration is to avoid contain
ination. Hands and Instruments should
be kept cleaned with a good antisep-
tic, the wound should be washed, and
then the flock should be put n a clean.
