grass comes, and they are less liable
to die Of stomach worms than if born
later in the year. The lambs are usual
ally marketed in November, though
sometimes held until December. Last
year we secured a weight of ninety
eight pounds on each lamb by the mid
die of November, and the lambs brought
$3.50 each per hundred.
We don't feed our lambs until the
late winter months, as it doesn't pay to
hold them that long. They get too
heavy, and the Chicago packers dis
eliminate very strongly against heavy
native lambs. believe that my lambs
would have topped the market last year
if they had been ten pounds lighter.
1t is difficult to say why or how lamb
feeding eXcels other live stock feeding,
but it seems to me that the profits ar
rive sooner, with less feeding Of high
priced grain, as the lambs need only
little grain to give them the necessary
finish for the market.
During the winter the breeding ewes
are well sheltered, but are made to get
plenty of exercise each day. The three
things we keep in mind during the win
ter are dry, warm quarters, feeding
plenty of clover hay and supplying
clean water.

FEEDING FOR EGGS.
Fowls Need Milk or Beef Scrap to Fur
nish Protein.

Fowls Need Milk or Beef Scrap to Fur
nish Protein.
Grain does not contain enough of
either protein or ash constituents for
satisfactory egg production. Corn, for
example, contains an abundance of
starch and fat, both of great value, but
it does not contain either enough min
eral matter or protein, and whenever
this grain is made the basis of the
ration it should be fed along with
something to supply the deficiency of
these two classes Of substances.
Whenever skimmilk or buttermilk is
available there is nothing better with
which to balance the poultry ration.
Milk is rich in protein, which is espe-
cially needed to supply the material
for the white Of the egg, and it con-
tains a liberal amount of phosphorus
and lime, both of Importance in feed
ing for egg production, as the yolk of
the egg contains considerable Quanti-
ties of both Of these substances. Not
only does skimmilk have almost an
ideal composition, but Furthermore the
fowls relish it, and it should be en-
ployed whenever available. 1t should
be sour and thick when fed to either
young or old fowls. In the absence Of
sour milk beef scrap should be pro
vided and added to the dry mash at
the rate of about 10 per cent by weight.

Raising Baby Beet,

With the present unlimited demand
for meat products, the raising of baby
beef evSn upon WiscOnsin's high priced
land offers opportunity for profitable
and cOngenial employment, says John
L. Tormey, secretary Of the Wisconsin
Shorthorn Breeders association. When
raising baby beef it is necessary to
have cattle of good beef type, and the
pure bred sire route is the only one
which safely can be taken. By feeding
the youngsters well from calfhood they
will be ready to market at year and
a half and will carry more meat with
less care and feed than raw western
feeders would require to produce the
same returns.

PROFIT IN A SMALL
FLOCK OF GOOD SHEEP

1 have been raising sheep about
twenty years, although have never had
a very large flock on account Of lack of
room on my farm, writes a correspond
ent Of the American Agriculturist.
Most of the time 1 aim to keep flock
of fifty to sixty breeding ewes that
are nearly full blood Shropshires. A
few recorded ewes were purchased in
the beginning, and recorded rams have
always been used. l have always been
able to get good rams for $25 to $50
each. From this number of ewes
have always been able to save from
sixty to seventy-tive lambs.
Our two rams are let with the ewes
about Oct. 1 each year The lambs be-
gin to come about Feb. % on through
the first half of March. This allows
the lambs to get a good start before

Banking the Poultry House.

1t is well to bank the poultry house
even if you have warm coop. 1t will
keep the cold and dampness from en-
tering the house from the bottom and
will give extra protection to the birds.
If your house is so located that the
spring thaw will let the water into
the coop this banking will aid mate
rally in turning the water. 1t is well
in such a case to dig a trench about
the coop, so that when the spring rains
come the water will be carried away
from the coop. Where leaves are used
boards must be put around to hold
the leaves in place. Where the dirt
about the coop is used this is not nee
essary. for 1t will stay there until
taken away again in the spring.

Starting With Sheep.

We are often asked how to start a
grade. flock of sheep on the farm, says
a correspondent of Better Farming.
Our advice is this: If you cannot OBJ
tain good sheep at a reasonable price
near home buy a good grade of west
ern ewes from the stock yards, dip
them when you reach home or before,
and breed them to a good pure bred
ram. 1t does not matter so much
which breed you take so long as you
get a good individual and a pure bred.
Do not breed to a grade or scrub ram,
as such a ram even if he is a fair In
dividual will not transmit his qualities
to his offspring as well as a pure bred
ram, because the pure bred ram has
generations of good breeding behind
him and will on this account give bet
ter service.

Stomach Worms In Horses.

Stomach worms are very common in
the horse. Probably more than 80 per
cent Of them have worms in varying
numbers. Worms seem to be most nu-
merous in animals that are low in Vi
tality and usually are seen at this sea-
son of the year, as they are now ma
ture and are passed off with the dung
Probably the most efficient remedy is
a quart and a half of raw llnseed oil
and two ounces Of turpentine well
mixed at one dose on an empty stom-
ach in the morning, the dose repeated
in three weeks. Be very sure to get
pure raw linseed Oil.-Orange Judd
Farmer.
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1917-04-06

five times as much as the stomach.
The average capacity of the horses
stomach IS about sixteen quarts, small
ntestines slxty-eight quarts and the
large intestines 1876 quarts.
The amount Of feed TO give the horse
daily should be governed by the condi-
ton of the horse, the feed Oh hand and
the kind of work he is doing. When a
horse is doing hard work the ration
should consist of a larger amount of
concentrates than when he is doing
light work. Two pounds Of grain feed
to each 100 pounds of horse is a good
rule to follow. This could best be de-
cided by careful observation by the
groom.
If more attention were paid to feed
ing the work horses horse labor could
be produced more economically, at the
same time the physical condition Of
the horse would be much better. Reg
ularity of feeding is of as much impor-
lance as the feed itself. Horses should
be fed as near the same time each day
as possible. By so doing the horse
will relish his food, live longer and do
his work great deal more easily.
, Horses do better on some feed than
on others. However, these feeds are
not always available, due to underpro-
duction and high prices. A good horse
man by proper feeding will get the
most out of the feed on hand.
A mistake a great many horsemen
make is having feed before the horses
at all times. When such conditions
prevail the horse will go to work with
an overloaded stomach, which causes
him to be logy and uncomfortable.
About two-thirds of the days rations
should be fed in the evening and one
third at the other two meals. By feed
ing a large portion of the ration at
night the horse has ample time to mas
ticate and digest his food properly.
Watering is as essential as the food
itself and should always be given the
horses before grain is fed. By so do
ing the horse viii relish his feed and
digest it more eaA1ly.
The horses grain ration should be
materially cut down when he is idle,
as he does not need as much feed as
when at work. To heavily feed idle
horses is a dangerous practice. A bran
mash once a week is good to keep the
horse in the best possible condition.
Oats is considered the best grain for
horses, but due to the high price of
this feed corn, barley and bran, with
Oilmeal, have taken its place. Oats are
fed to large extent in the northern
and eastern sections of the United
States, corn in the southern and barley
in the western states. Alfalfa, clover,
timothy and prairie hay are most COM
monty used as roughage.
When well cured alfalfa is fed as a
concentrate, and if cut when fairly
well matured and fed in proper amounts
it is very valuable food. The same is
true of clover. Less than one pound
daily to each hundred pounds Of horse
is plenty. When horses have all the
alfalfa they will eat it is liable to make
them soft and cause them to urinate
very often, which is harmful.

Give them regular attention; see that
the hoppers are kept well supplied and
that the water pans are kept filled. Be
sure that the hens and pullets are in
separate pens as it is impossible to do
justice to both where they are running
together.
The pullets should be fed heavily for
egg production and the hens-the breed
ers-fed on light ration. Feed the pull
let's mixed grain morning and evening
This should be buried in a deep litter
to make them work for it. Keep hop
per filed with dry mash before them.
The feeds used both for grain and
mash feeding will depend on what are
most available. Wheat, barley, oats
corn, buckwheat are all excellent, but
they are better mixed than any one fed
alone. Bran, middlings or low grade
-four and cornmeal, equal parts with
half part blood -four or beef scrap,
make a good mash. If gluten meal can
be had at a reasonable price half part
may also be added. Give them a regu-
lar supply of sour milk or keep a hop
per of beef scrap where they can get
what they want, also hoppers of grit
and oyster shell, and don't forget the
green feed. Mangels are one of the
best and most convenient forms that
can be used. A forkful of clover hay
put In rack where the fowl can have
access to it will be appreciated.
The old hens should be fed sparingly
and kept busy. Instead of the mash
recommended for the pullets give them
dry bran, or, if the mash is used, the
hopper should be only opened for linn
tied time each day.-Canadian Bulletin.
