GRAZING THE WOOD LOT.

Stock TrampIe the Ground Hard and
Eat the Seedlings.
Unrestricted grazing in the wood lot
is a losing proposition, says the New
York College of Agriculture. The farm
wood lot cannot serve prOftably for the
production OF timber and also as a pas
ture for stock Either all grazing
should be stopped and the area given
over exclusively to the growth and re-
production Of trees or else the trees
should be cut and the land used for the
production Of grass. Nearly all the
wood lots OF New York state are iinpOr-
tant enough to make worth while their
exclusive use for the production OF
timber and cordwood A wood lot prop
erly protected from injury and care
fully managed can be made a valuable
asset to the farm. Not the least Of the
dangers to the wood lot is that due to
excessive grazing.
When allowed to run for any length
Of time In a wood lot stock so trample
the ground that 1t becomes hard and
impenetrable. The natural mulch Of
leaves is either eaten OF or ground into
the soil, resulting in excess evaporation
and rapid drying Of soil about the tree
roots. Often the surface roots are In
jured, and any tendency which the air
may have to circulate In the upper lay
ers OF the soil is stopped. The tree
seeds as well as those Of the grasses
find the ground hard and dry, where
termination is difficult II not impossi-
BILE. Those few seedlings which secure
a root hold and grow prove a tender
morsel for the stock or are trampled

a start with sheep unless the arrange
ment OF the farm and the plan Of its
operation allow the keeping Of as many
as thirty ewes, and in most cases sixty
or more will be handled better and
more economically than very small
flock. The number Of eve lambs that
can be kept for breeding each year
should be about half the number Of
breeding ewes. Old ewes should be
discarded when five years old When
this is done and the poorest Of the eve
lambs are sold a flock will ordinarily
double in size In three years. After
two seasons experience it win be a
good plan TO buy more ewes when good
ones can be obtained at a fair price.
The economical disadvantage Of
very small flock lies in the fact that

preferable to older stock. Ewes with
broken mOuths"-that is, those that
have lost some OF their teeth as a re-
suit Of aegean be purchased cheaper
than the younger ones. but are not good
property for inexperienced sheep rails
ers.
Telling Age of Sheep.
Until sheep is four years old its age
usually can be determined within few
months by looking at its teeth. When
about twelve months old the two center
incisors Of the small, narrow teeth Of
the lamb are replaced by two large,
broad, permanent. teeth. At about
twenty-four months two more large
teeth appear, one on each side Of the
other pair. Another pair appears at
three years Of age. and the last or cor
ner teeth come in at about the end Of
the fourth year, and the sheep then
has a full mouth.
In buying ewes, particularly those
from the range, it is desirable when
possible to examine the udders to see
that they are free from Jumps that
would prevent the ewes from being
mixers. It is necessary to guard also J
against buying ewes that are useless as |
because Of the ends Of the
.eats having been clipped OF at shear
ng.
Persons wholly inexperienced with 4
iheep viii do well to limit the size Of

lcquire experience quite rapidly with

TO AILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice VIII Help Many
A Sufferer In Milford.

No woman should consider herself
healthy and well if the kidneys are weak.
Poisons that pass off when the kidneys
are well, are retained in the body when
the kidneys are disordered. If the kid
neys and bladder become infiamed and
swollen worse troubles may quickly fol-
low. This is often the cause Of bearing
down pains, lameness. backache, etc.
Uric poisoning is also frequent cause Of
headaches, dizzy spells, languor, nerv-
BUSINESS and rheumatic pain.
When suffering 50, try DOan's Kidney
Pills, a remedy that has proven effective
in thousands of such cases. Let this
Milford woman tell of her experience.
Mrs. George Davis, 112 West Third
Street, says: 81 used Doan's Kidney
Pills which bought at the Corner Drug
Store and found them very satisfac-

STARTING WITH SHEEP

Begin With a Small Flock.

Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
The best time to get a start in the
sheep business is IN late summer or
early fall. Ewes can be procured more
readily at that time and when purchas-
ed can be kept on meadows, green stub
ble fields late sown forage crops to
get them ~ good condition for breed
in. Experience with the ewes through
fall and winter win also make a be-
ginner more capable Of attending TO
them at lambing time in the spring.
The inexperienced sheep raiser should
begin with grade ewes Of the best
class available and a pure bred ram
II is seldom possible to buy any con.
siderable number OF bred ewes at rea-
sOnable prices. The raising Of pure
bred stock and the selling Of breeding
rams can best be undertaken by per.
sons experienced in sheep raising. The
selection OF the type and breed Of
sheep to raise should be made by con-
sidering the class Of pasture and feeds
available and the general system OF
farming to be followed along with the
peculiarities Of the breeds and the con.
ditions and kind Of feeding and man.
agement for which each has been espe-
cially developed. References to the
bulletin on breeds Of sheep for various
uses will help the beginner TO make
his selection. Once a decision has been
made the aim should be to obtain ewes
that are individually good and that
have as many crosses as possible Of
the breed selected With such a fOun-
dation and with the continuous use Of
good pure bred rams Of the same breed
the flock will make continuous improve
ment
Best Age For Breeding Ewes.
In looking for ewes Of desired types
and breeding it will often be found i'm
possible to get them near at home at a
reasonable price. The demand has eX-
hausted the local supply in many sec
tions. Ewes from the western ranges
can be obtained directly from a stock
yard market. For the most part the
range ewes are Of Merino breeding
usually free from stomach worms and
because Of regulations governing the
interstate shipments of sheep are also
free from sheep scab or other commu-
nicable diseases. The sheep from the
range are less often infested with in
ternal parasites than are farm sheep.
and in the large shipments there is op-
pOTtunity for a closer selection. Ewes

take Chamberlain Tablets. They are
intended especially for these ailments
and are excellent. Easy to take and
