FEED SHEEP GRAIN WHEN
 PASTURES BEGIN TO FAIL
By P. c. HOLDEN.

A little grain fed to the sheep in the fall, when the pastures begin to fail, will bring greater returns than that fed later. A very small allowance of corn or oats will keep the sheep strong and thriving and in better condition to withstand the winter.
 As cold weather approaches. the wool is of good length and hides the physical condition of the sheep. It is then that only the experienced sheep grower or close observer will notice that the animals are shrining in flesh that instead of improving, they are really growing thinner.
 It is poor economy to withhold grain feed until snow covers the ground or the pastures are frozen. We should l place a trough in the pasture and feed l the sheep once a day. If the weather 1 is dry, it is a good plan to feed the l sheep ear corn direct from the field. 1 The ears can he pulled or husked,
 carried to the pasture, cut in two or | split and scattered on the sod. The
 sheep will gather every kernel.
 It will pay we'll both in wool and | mutton, if the sheep are fed each day I a little bright clover or alfalfa hay placed in a rack, either in the sheer i house. of stable or in the pasture 1 It requires much less feed to, +leeT the sheep thriving than it does tC 1 bring them back to good condition !! after they have suffered from neglect We must not let sheep stay out 1T 1 cold, heavy rains in the fall Ligh1 showers will do no harm, but if tho
 fleece gets soaked. the sheep not only i will suffer, but they will use up mucf feed in maintaining their bodily hea-
 while drying the fleece.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

the poultry yard and a good coating Of freshly slaked lime Be applied to the entire surface of the ground, ac- cording to the bulletin. After few days it should be plowed and then cultivated three or four times at in tervals of week, and finally soWed with oats. rye or other grain. It is best to leave the ground .unoccupied by fowls until the winter has passed After the fowls have been returned the premises must be frequently cleaned and occasionally disinfected
 The drinking fountains and feed troughs must be washed every week with boiling water or other disinfect- ant, and if any lice or mites are found on the birds or in the house, the roosts and adjoining parts of the walls should be painted with a mixture of kerosene enc quart. and crude carbolic acid or crude creosol. one teacupful. The house may be whitewashed with freshly slaked lime or sprayed wfs1 kerosene emulsion. In case of an act ual outbreak of a virulent disease it i. well to add to each gallon of white { wash six ounces of crude carboliC acid. Good disinfectants destroy the germs of contagious diseases, the ex- ternal parasites such as lice and mites and in some cases the eggs of parasitic
 worms and should be used frequentl! in and about the poultryhouse.

MEANS OF FIGHTING
 POULTRY DISEASE

Poultry raisers who wait until dis ease appears in the flock and then prepare to make defensive attack are likely to be successful only in rare cases. By far the best plan. say poul-' try specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, is to care for the flock in such a way that dis ease will not appear. The aim in con- trolling the diseases of poultry is, they add, to learn how to prevent them ra- ther than how to cure them To en- tighten poultry owners as to the char acteristics of the more important dis eases in order that they may intelli- gently use the most improved methods cf combating them, Farmers Bulle- tin 957. Important Poultry Diseases, has recently been published by the and treatment of poultry ailments, to worms, are given in this publica- ton.
 As all poultry is susceptible to many diseases, some of which are highly infectious and resist all efforts of treatment, the bulletin suggests that when birds become sick it is often the best plan to kill them. The greater the number of birds kept upon any farm or plot of ground, an1 the more they are crowded together. the more important are the measures for ex- cluding, eradicating and preventing the development of the causes of dis eose.
 When disease appears among poul- try the fowls should be removed from

LIME oN AIEAIEA

The result of three years experi-
 mental work on the growing of alfalfa
 without lime and with different quan-
 titles of lime ranging from half ton
 to two tons of ground limestone per acre has been announced by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta tion. Three cuttings were taken each year. For the first year the highest yield was two and half tons, with two tons of ground limestone per acre; for the second year the highest yield was three and quarter tons, also with two tons of limestone, fol-
 lowed closely with a yield of nearly
 three tons on the plot that received
 limestone at the rate of one ton per acre; for the third year the highest
 yield was slightly above three and three quarter tons per acre on the plot that received limestone at the rate of one ton per acre, followed
 closely by the one that received two
 tons and the half-ton plot the yield
 did not fall below two tons or go much above two and three-quartez tons. During the second and third years the total yield for the three cut tings increased gradually from the unlimed plot to the plot receiving the most lime, with only one exception Also during these two years the ave- rage percentage of nitrogen in the dry matter increased gradually from the no lime plot to the plot receiving the most lime. with only one exception.

URGES FISH MEAL FOR Hocs.

To stimulate greater interest in the production of fish meal, which is q
 good substitute for tankage in the feeding of hogs, E. 2. Russell, in
 charge of swine investigations for the
 United States Department of Agricul-
 ture, recently visited a number of fisheries along the Gulf coast as well
 as a number of marketing centers in
 the south. Tests conducted by the de-
 partment show that fish meal is equal in feeding value to tankage. It con- tains about ' per cent. protein. It is made by drying nonedible fish and grinding fine. This meal is being used at the government farm at Belts vile, Md. to replace tankage. The menhaden fisheries on the Atlantic coast can produce annually 10000 tons of fish meal Fisheries along the Gulf i States and Mississippi River have been wasting or manufacturing as fertili- ger large quantities of non edible fish | Mir. Russell's visit to the Gulf states
 was to investigate the feasibility and to urge the fisheries to manufacture i fthese nonedible fish into fish meal for ESwine feeding

JSE THE FARM
 WOODLANDS WISELY


 Farm woodlands are being drawn upon for large quantities of timber TOT war purposes. There is big demand for logs of black walnut, white oak, hickory, spruce, black locust, yellow birch, yellow poplar, rock elm, ash, white cedar Gin the southern stateS), and also for the bark of chestnut, oak and hemlock if near tannln extract factories. Large, sound trees of these species should be cut and marketed for war purposes, and under no conS1dera- ton used for cordwood except as their tops and branches may be utilized for this purpose.
 Farm woodlands are also furnishing perhaps double the ordinary. amount of wood for fuel. This increased de- n1and may result in considerable and lasting damage to the woodlands un- less precautions are taken. On the other hand, the cutting of cordwood affords each owner of woodland an opportunity to clear his land and put his timber in better condition. To accomplish this, the. idea to keep in mind is to remove for cordwood the poorer, less valuable trees, leaving the better ones to stand. In removing the fuel wood the greatest precaution should be taken not to injure the more { valuable trees or the young growth. Briefly, the material which should be removed is as follows:
 Sound sticks lying on the ground, | including tops left in logging opera ! tions. and trees blown over by wind. l crushed down by snow or otherwise 1 toppled over; dead trees which are sound and still standing; trees 1 which are diseased, or are so serious ly injured by insects that they will probably die: and also trees which are l specially subject to serious disease or 1 insect attack; crooked trees which are 1 crowding out straight ones; large old l trees unsuitable for lumber and having | big tops which shade out numerous l smaller trees growing beneath them: ] small trees which are overtopped and stunted by larger and better ones; trees of the less valuable kind which are crowding good trees of the more valuable kinds; trees which by some
 chance are growing on ground unsuit- 1 ed to them; slowly growing trees l which are crowding out equally valu-
 able kinds that grow faster; trees 1 badly fre-Scarred at the butt, whicf usually becomes rotten and are among l the first to be blown over by heavy ] winds.
 The ideal trees for cordwood art 1 those which range from four to abou ten inches in diameter The yield O cordwood from trees smaller than foul
 inches in diameter is very slight anC trees larger than ten inches in diane
 ter are usually more valuable for Somt
 other purpose, unless they are de fective.

GET THE ICE POND READY.

Maybe you don't think that winter is here, but. it is on the way and is likely to arrive most any time This is good time to get the ice pond ready for the winter Drain off the water and clean the bottom and sides of the bed with a rake or harrow and a hoe or scraper. See that no decayed vegetation or objectionable material remains.
 And don't forget the dam. Go over i. it carefully and repair any weak spots: Then close the gate and let the pond fill, examining the dam again careful ly for leaks.
 Of course, you are careful that no contamination can drain into your ice pond.
 As soon as fall work slackens, get right at the ice pond. Don't put it of.

WATERING COWS,

During the winter. when cows are stab1ed the greater part of the time, and unless arrangements have been made to keep water before them ali the time, they should be watered two or three times day If possible, the water should be 15 to 20 degrees above the freezing point, and should be sup piled at practically the same tempera- ture every day.

In the milder portions of the country it is possible by the aid of a, cold frame to grow lettuce, radishes, spin ich. kale and parsley throughout the winter. The cold frame may be any size from three feet by six feet-this being the size of the standard cold frame cash--to six feet by any multi pie of three feet. A four sash frame that is, one six by twelve feet-would be large enough to supply the averag ge family with winter, greens.
