CARE FOR FATTENING LAMBS
Lot Should Be Kept Free From
Other Animate.

Many people are Of the opinion that
a sheep is nothing but a scavenger
that needs little attention, but 1t will
be found that the more care and atten-
ton the lambs receive the greater the
profits will be. Among the items of
good care In fattening lambs the fol-
lowing are worth remembering: The
feed lot should be kept free from other
animals. Lambs should be fed with
regularity. Quiet in the fed lot IL
important. Feed troughs should be
kept as clean as possible. Salt is nee
essary and SHOULD be before them at
all times In a separate trough. Lambs
do not need much shelter, but a good
windbreak Is necessary and an open
shed whereby their coats and feet can
be kept dry gives the best results.
