SHEEP VALUABLE ON
EVERY SMALL FARM
Animals Grow Into Marketable
Products al Early Age-Cost
LittIs for Feed.

By DR. r. H. WILLIAMS, Animal Hus-
bandman. University of Arizona Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.)
Every farmer should keep small
flock of sheep. They cost little for
feed. for they act as weed scaven-
gers, and grow into marketable prod
ucts at an early age. There are also
many waste places on farms which
may be utilized for sheep production.
Another advantage of sheep is that
they require little labor. They come
rs near solving the "hired help prob
lem" rs any other kind of mixed farm
Ing. Lambs milk the ewes at some
what regular intervals and they sep
arate the milk and store away the
product without the use of cans or re-
frigeration. When n farmer sees a
bulge on his side Of the market, the
kind-hearted and Industrious lambs are
asked to trot tc market carrying all
the milk and worry with them. 1t is
like finding money, for the sheep have
paid their way in wool, fertilizer, and
in the destruction of weeds.

cow DESERVES REST
AND AMPLE FEEDING
Recommendation of Dairy De-
partment of the New Jersey
Experiment Station.

The dairying department OF the New
Jersey agricultural experiment station
recommends that the dairy farmer
should remember to give his cows
rest Of six weeks or more before they
freshen this fall. Some cows may
maintain good flow of milk right up
to calving time, and in such cases the
dairyman hesitates to dry them of
for rest period of several weeks.
This should be done, however, and the
COW well fed so that she will be in
good flesh when she freshens. The
work of producing heavy yield of
milk for ten months or year is a
severe drain upon the cows strength
and vitality, and period of rest
should be given her to recuperate and
prepare for another lactation period
If she finishes her milking period quite
thin In flesh she should be given a
longer dry period and more literally
fed. The loss of what milk the cow
might produce during the dry period
will be made up several times over by
an increased yield during the follow
ing lactation period. A good rest and
liberal feeding preceding the date of
calving helps largely to bring about
good yield during the following year.

men,s commonly used, before this,
from 10 to 20 pounds of grain per
day during the fattening period. Mr..
Hacker never succeeded in feeding
IL pounds. To feed a steer from the
time he weighs 100 pounds until he
weighs 1,2OO pounds, according to the
tests, requires on the average the fol-
lowing amounts of feed: Grain,
3,2SS.2 pounds-consisting of approx
imately 1S bushels of corn, 51A bushels
Of barley, 9h bushels of oats, 76S

BROOD sow GOOD AS
A MORTGAGE LITTER
0ft-Repeated Remark Never
More True Than at Present
Returns Quickly Made.

Animal Husbandry, Oklahoma A. and
NJ. College, Stillwater)
The oft-repeateG quotation that
the brood sow is the mortgage lift
err" was never more true than at the
present time. There is no animal
kept on the farm that will so surely
and quickly return profit upon feed
consumed and care given as the brood
SOW.
A hog will produce pound Of in
crease for every four Of five pounds
of feed consumed, while fattening cat
tie will require from 10 to 13 pounds
to produce the same amount OF in
crease. They are more prolific than
any other kind of live stock. They are
absolutely essential to the economic
utilization of waste products on the
beef, dairy, grain, fruit and vegetable
farm.
Profitable Sow.
The sow that proves most profitable
Is the one that is large and roomy,
carrying strong back, wide loin, full
hams, large heart-girth, indicating con-
stitution, plenty of bone, standing well
on strong legs. Select sows from
good-sized litters. The sow that car
ries good length and depth of body
generally proves the most prolific.
Quality should not be overlooked, but
in the search for quality, do not sacri-
flee substance, nor select delicate ami
mails. Uniformity in herd of sows
Is very important uniform bunch
Of sows will produce a more unif
lot of pigs, and uniform lot of pigs
will feed better, look better when fat.
and sell better on the market.
Sow's Business.
Sows are not kept for the purpose
of eadng feed merely. Their business
Is to farrow pigs and to nurse them
r. point where they can be fed. With
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1916-11-09

this in view, the sow should be so fed
and managed as to enable her to do
her work to the very best advantage.
A sow should remain in the herd as
long as useful. A good, steady sow,
with well developed teats can usually
be depended upon to repeat the per-
formance. If the sow is properly ham
died and fails to fulfill her duties, the
sow has no business on the farm, and
the quicker she is found out and dis
posed of the better. Feeding is u mat
ter of the most Importance, for the
brood sow as she needs the right kind
of feed for three important purposes:
For the maintenance of her own body;
for the growth of her own body; for
the development of the fetal pigs.
