George Board, of Irvington. has rent
ed the Hale farm, near Addison, and
will move to it as soon as the weather
will permit. Mr.. Board is first class
man and successful farmer. He. will
be quite an addition to that community.
The Landing season is coming on and
farmers should see that their ewes are
in a dry, we'll ventilated barn. Dry
bedding is essential to the health of the
ewes and should be well provided.
Breeding ewes should be iu good
vigorous condition and in medium flesh
before lambing time begins. They will
give birth to lambs of larger size and
raise them faster and finish them heav-
Ter after lambs are born. If ewes are
in poor condition before Landing, and
they happen to have twins, they will
not be able to raise them properly. Be
sure and look after the little lambs after
they come. They are sure to be high
in price and twill pay you to sit up at
night with them.
