two and onc-half to three pounds of
corn Silagc or roots daily TO each ami
NAL, in addition to hay. About Jan. l
ewes receive limited grain ration
varying from onc-fourth TO onc-half
pound per day, depending on their con-
dition.
Ewes receiving grain ration before
Landing always produce more milk for
lambs. The grain mixture used at
State College farm consists of five
parts of shcllcd corn three parts of
oats. two parts of wheat bran and one
part of oilmcal.
After lambs are born the eve will
not consume aS much roughage feed,
More grain is then necessary to give a
milk flow sufficient for the best growth
of the lamb The grain mixture should
he increased. therefore, one-half pound
or more daily per eve, depending ON
her condition and also upon the num-
Der of lambs she is raising,
Next to proper feeding, exercise Is
considered the most important factor
in keeping ewes in good condition for
Landing Exercise lots should be well
drained TO prevent sore feet. 1t is well
to allow ewes to range on pasture dur
ing the winter, since exercise gives
strength and enables them to produce
lambs with less effort and of Il strong
err, more vigorous type,

Corn Experiment lesson.

In experiments with corn at the
PENNSYLVANIA state college during the
last few years heavy seed gave a little
better field termination and little
better yield than light seed. Seed from
ears which terminated quickly gave n
slightly better field termination. Seed
selected on the stalk terminated better
than seed selected at husking time In
an outdoor test for the single year for
which the record was kept Seed Sc
.cctcd at huSking in three years trials,
for some unaccountablc reason, gave
the better field termination. The
yields were about alike.

WAY TO CONTROL
The OK MARBLE PEST

Injury by the OK MARBLE amounting

be reduced to almost nothing if stock

methods of control, according to G. A,

Sloan's Liniment is first thought of
mothers for bumps, bruises and sprains
that are continually happening to chill
dren. 1t quickly penetrates and soothes
without rubbing. Cleaner aud more eff

For rheumatic aches, neuralgia pain and
that grippy soreness after colds, Sloan's
Liniment gives prompt relief. Have a

FERTILIZING WHEAT.
For Spring Application Acid Phosphate
Is Recommended.

Is Recommended.
For wheatficlds not fortified last fall
nor MANFRED during the winter, the
Ohio experiment station recommends
for application in early spring, on near
" all soils that have been under long
cultivation, from POO to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre. Nitrate
of soda has paid for itself in some eX-
detrimental field tests, but the present
cost of potassium prohibits its use this
year.
In the stations fertility tests 100
pounds of acid phosphate have produc-
ed increase in the yields of corn, oats,
wheat and hay worth more than 81 at
ordinary farm prices. Nitrate of soda
used alone has been Improbable, but
its addition to acid phosphate has paid
well on Wooster soil although barely
sufficient to Justify its use at Strongs-
vile. Germantown and Carpenter sub
stations These materials may easily
be sown by hand in the spring before
growth starts and are soluble in the
soil for the use of plants. Because
Of the limited response of wheat to
potassium and because of its high
price this year the experiment sta
ton advises against the use Of this ele-
ment for the present wheat crop and
urges farmers to preserve all barnyard
manure carefully to supply the neces-
sary potassium.

All animals require plenty of good

the milking COW, as water constitutes
more than three-fourths of the total
volume of milk. The water supply
therefore demands the dairyman'S

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.

turn 10 the northeast ana grow crooked
because Of the warm south and south
west winds during the growing season,
The tree should be set with the heavier
side TO the southwest to avoid this,
"The roots should be trimmed so as
not to be crampcd and any ragged
wounds taken off, Peach trees should
be pruncd most severely after planting
of any OF the orchard fruits, Trim all
branches off, leaving II single whip;
then shorten the whip 10 height Of
about two aud onc-half feet Cherry
trees should be less severely trimmed
II well branched the center OF the tree
should be cut out, The japanese plum
tree should be shaped like the peach,
Other plum, apple ana pear trees, hay
Ing only a single whip, should be treat
ed likewise, Older trees may be treat

that all branches may be shortened to
