ADVANTAGE OF EARLY LAMBS
u Eve and Young Are Given Coed
Care and Dry Shelter April
Lamb 10 Quite Desirable.

Tho April lamb 10 desirable with
most sheep owners. In order to have
the April lamb. says Better Farming.
It is necessary to breed the ewes in
November. since the period of gesta-
tion Is five months with these ami
mails. April 10 often cold and stormy
and the pastures do not get much
start, but IL the eve and her lambs
receive good care and have q comfort
able dry shed or stable to stay in out
Of the inclement weather. then the
April lamb is much more desirable
than the lamb born q month later.
The April lamb Is ready to eat May
grass; that is, 1t has the grass-nib-
bling habit started, and soon is on
both q grass and milk diet. The early
lamb has many advantages over the
later lamb In the matter of being able
to feed on the summer heritage and
keep up q constant and vigorous
growth through the summer months,
when the younger lamb often has en-
barrassments of the fall season that 1t
cannot SO successfully combat. and II
the milk supply OF the eve is checked
or diminished from a shortage of pas
ture the late lamb is more seriously
affected than the older one.
There is more difference between
the early lamb and the late one than
appears in the young of other kinds Of
animals on the farm. The flocking
habit Of sheep. no doubt, influences
considerably in this respect since the
sheep incline to crowd together in
punches as the weather grows warm
and the flies become troublesome.
There is no animal SO sensitive to the
annoyance of the fly as the sheep. and
this works q great hardship on the
younger lambs, as the mother sheep 10
