mentary feed to keep the sheep In
condition.
Linseed Meal as a Supplement.
If any nonlegume hay is fed, supple
mentary protein feed Is needed. Lin
seed meal is good since in addition
to furnishing protein it counteracts
the constituting effect of timothy hay.
From one-quarter to one-half pound Of
linseed meal per eve daily should be
used, depending upon the size and con-
dition of the animal and the other feed
used.
In an experiment conducted at the
Missouri station and reported in bull,
letin No. 12O, the relative values Of
clover and timothy hays for wintering
ewes were determined.
Fifteen ewes fed 80 pounds timothy
hay and OBS pound grain per head
daily lost 7.6 pounds each during the
same time that another lot receiving
the same weight of grain and clover
hay gained 6.5 pounds. The ID ewes
fed clover hay dropped 16 strong
lambs, while those fed timothy
dropped II strong and five weak
lambs. The lambs from the ewes fed
clover hay gained more rapidly DUR
ing the first so days than did those
from the ewes fed timothy hay.
