In the old days Of the overland stages
there sat up in front alongside the
driver the express messenger, carrying
on his knees always ready for instant
use a sawed-off shotgun.
In these later days, on another sort
of vehicle, and for protection against
another sort Of highwaymen, both men
ON the box are armed. The vehicle is
the big, powerful mOtor-drtven army
supply wagon.
on each side Of the drivers seat on
these wagons is a deep leather holster
and in each holster is carried repeat
ing carbine; lively, handy weapon
and one carrying many more shots
than the old-time sawed-off shotgun.

PLAN FOR LARGE
YIELD OF LAMBS
Gull Ewes Closely and Keep Them
Gaining on Good Pasture
and Other Feed.
Gull UNPROFITADLE animals
Special Effort Should Be Made to Sc
cure Strong, Vigorous, Pure-sred
Ram of Desirable Type and
individuality.

The best time to begin preparation
for a large crop Of lambs is early in
the fall, several weeks before the mat
ing season begins. At that time the
eve flock should be culled closely with
the idea of eliminating ewes that have
proved themselves to be unprofitable
breeders, due to barenness or having
produced small and weak lambs at
birth, or having failed to produce milk
enough for the rapid development or
their offspring. At the same time spe-
cial attention should be given to the
securing of strong, vigorous, pure
bred ram of desirable type and indi-
viduality year or more old, prefer"
ably a proved sire.
Flushing.
After the final makeup of the flock
is determined, the ewes should have
access to fresh pasture. Some kind
of forage crop especially grown for the
purpose Is desirable, and little grain
may be provided at this time. The
idea is to have the ewes gain slightly
in flesh a few weeks previous to and
during the mating season. This prac-
tice is known among sheepmen as
Flushing" and will insure an In
creased per cent of twin lambs.
Experiments conducted by the ami
NAL huSbandry division of the United
States department of agriculture have
shown that the extra trouble and feed
REQUIRED in flushing the ewes is repaid
several times by the added number of
lambs obtained. With ewes already in
good condition the effect is less marked
than with thinner stock. Young or
dry ewes that are in high condition
will not be benefited by flushing. With
ewes gaining in condition at breeding
time the lambs arrive more nearly to-
gether in spring. This lessons the
labor of lambing season and gives
more nearly uniform ages and weights
in lambs to be marketed.
The Ram.
The number of twin lambs is APP
parently governed more largely by the
eve than by the ram. 1t is important,
however, to keep the ram in strong
vigorous condition, for if he is over
taxed in low condition some ewes may
fail to get in lamb. At the beginning
of breeding the ram should be In good
flush, but should not have been overfed
or kept too active. 1t Is best If ne
can have grain feed and be separated
from the flock for at least few hours
each day.
Flock Management.
The breeding season over, the flock
should be carried through the winter
under such system of management as
will insure health and gradual in
crease in weight of from 10 to 10
pounds a head until lambing time.
The increase in weight is desired to
.ounteract the loss of weight at par
turItion time, and will leave the eve
in stronger condition after lambing
thereby insuring greater ability on her
part to provide the necessary quantity
If milk for the rapid development OF
ler lamb. This management produces
lambs that are larger and stronger at
birth, are better able to gain rapidly,
md are ready for early marketing. To
10 this suitable quarters must be pro-
vided to protect the flock against
storms, wet floors, drafts, and lack

MANAGEMENT OF EWES

The experiences of succ' 'ssful

limited amount of experimental
data available on the subject in
dicate that the per cent of lambs
to ewes bred that may be pro-
duced, as well as the size and
vitality Of the lambs at birth
and their subsequent develop
ment, depends as much, IL not
more, on the feed and manage
ment of the ewes during the
breeding season and the period
of pregnancy than upon the care
and feeding they receive after
lambing.
