CARING FOR SHEEP
AND YOUNG CATTLE
Animals Keep Healthier and Re-
quire Less Labor If Given
Sheds Opening South.

Sheep, calves, yearlings and cows
heavy with young keep healthier and
require less labor when given deep
sheds opening to the south to which
they can have access during the day
and in which they can be confined at
night. The yards should be of good
size and dry. The bull should not lie
kept in the same yard with the horses
and colts.
Heifers should not be mated before
they are 16 months of age, and not
then If in a rundown condition. Ewes
need extra feed and care. Keep the
pens clean and constantly dry with
either straw or leaves. Manure should
not accumulate In the pens, as 1t is
liable to cause footrot and loss Of
fleece.
Sheep manure, like horse manure,
contains considerable ammonia and
ferments readily. In feeding sheep
for the spring market baye long
troughs and racks under cover. Dis
tribute the grain, hay, fodder or straw
so that each one will get its share.
The strong sheep may be as much in
jured by overlooking as the weaker
ones by too little.
A large and successful feeder in
Western Virginia has a ten-acre blue
grass pasture attached to the feeding
sheds in which the sheep take daily
exercises, weather permitting. Sheep
are not injured by dry, cold weather.

(By ]. 8. MONTGOMERY. Assistant Sec
Rotary, Minnesota Stallion Registration
Board)
Hundreds of Minnesota farmers are
wasting time, money, feed and labor by
breeding to grade stations each year.
The difference in service fee between
a good, purebred and common grade
sire is seldom more than $40 and often
not more than IS. The difference In
the value of the colt when three years
old is from $25 to 500, though the
cost of feed and care is about the
same.
The average value of horses on Min
nesota farms is $109.S0 a head, which
is not enough to pay for producing
them. By the use Of sound, purebred
draft sires, the average farm mare can
be made to produce colt worth 5000
at working age and the better farm
mare will produce foals to make $3.50
or $3.50 horses.
There are 1896 grade sires licensed
for service in the state. Now, counting
that the ''get" of these sires will return
q profit $25 less than the get of pure
bred sire, which is conservative esti-

mate, the use of the common sires Is
costing the farmers of Minnesota from
$4,000 to $4,000 year.
That the farmers are realizing the
value Of the purebred stallion Is shown
by the fact that the number Of such
horses registered has increased more
than so per cent since 1910 and thai
the number of grade stations register
ed has decreased more than IA per
cent In the same time.
The Minnesota stallion law requires
that every horse that stands for public
service must be licensed. 1t further
provides that every bill, poster or ad.
vertisement of the horse must contain
an exact copy of his state license and
that a copy of the license be posted on
the door of every barn or building
where the horse makes stand. Mis-

LABOR LEGISLATION OF 1916

Perhaps the most striking legisla-
ton reproduced in the annual volume
of labor laws of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, which has just been issued
as Bulletin 213, is the act of Congress
establishing s hours as a standard
work day for employees operating
trains on steam railroads in interstate
commerce Next to this may be placed
he federal statute excluding from in
terestate traffic the products OF the
labor of children employed in mines
or quarries under the age of l6, or in
mills, canneries, factories. etc, under
the age Of IA years; the hours OF la
Dor or children under 16 years Of age
aust not exceed 8 per day, nor may
such children work between Up III.
and 6 a. m.
State laws affecting the employment
/ children are also strengthened. as
in South Carolina, whore the age t,r
employment in factories is raised lr'..
IL to IA years, while in Maryland III"
lI-ycar limit is extended to practical
ly all industries except canning and
packing. Laws regulating the en-
/, ployment of women are comparatively
numerous in 1916, and it may he said
that laws affecting women and chill
dren constitute the largest single
group Of laws appearing in the bulle-
tin. In addition to statutes, there are
important orders of industrial and
welfare commissions fixing wages and
hours for these classes of employees,
and regulating the conditions Of EN-
ployment generally. OF special inter-
est is rule issued by the Oregon In
dustrial Welfare Commission fixing
the hours of labor, minimum wages,

The effect of federal legislation on

Union have compensation laws, re-
produced up to the end of the year
1916 in Bulletin No. 2O3 of the Bureau
