smiling face was always an inspira-

the church services. In the later
months Of her life, on account Of fail
ing health and loss of hearing she was
unable to attend church services, yet
in her home she was the same patient,
cheerful and uncomplainng spirit.
When her great sorrow came in the
death Of her husband she said to her
pastor, ut is all right, Lord Jesus

quietly and peacefully passed away.

Methods Of Docking.

| Docking, carefully performed, is
seldom followed by bad results. True
a little bleeding may occur when q
knife is used, but 1t does not usual
ly attain dangerous or serious pro-
portions. Generally lamb when re-
leased after docking will run to Its
mother and commence sucking. This
shows that the operation is by no
means severe. Bleeding may be pre-
vented by soaring the end of the tail,
or, where the knife is used, by tying
Irvine, which may be removed eight
or ten hours after the operation, tight
ly around the tail above the wound.
The most favorable age for docking is,
in the instance Of ewes, at ten to
fourteen days old and, with rams,
five to seven days after castration.
Castration and docking may be done
at the same time, but 1t is better IN
the case of small focks to have an
interval between the operations. The
tail should be severed at the third
joint Of the vertebrae. Docking should
be performed in the morning, so that
excessive bleeding will be detected
and remedied before night.
There are two methods Of docking,
firstly, by using a knife and secondly,
by the aid of pincers. The first meth
cd consists of placing the lamb be-
tween the operators legs, its rear end
in front of him, and of simply cutting
through the tail from the underside
at the desired Joint with an ordinary
heavy jack-knife The joint can be
found by feeling on the underside Of
the tail. The skin on the underside
of the tail should be drawn up toward
the body Of the lamb, so that when
the tail is severed it comes down ov-
er the end of the joint which induces
coagulation Of the blood and facilitat-
,es healing. A little disinfectant on tho
wound assists the healing and pre-
vents infection. The tail may be
placed on a board and severed by
means Of ehisel and mallet, but the
knife Is more accurate and is not so
liable to bruise the tail bones. In the
second method, the operator requires
an assistant and pair Of iron pincers
are used. They are heated in a fire
and the operation Is performed while
they are hot, thereby soaring the
wound which prevents bleeding. How
ever, pus not infrequently collects

Delaware COUNTY farm BUREAU;
County Agents Onice)
Potato Campaign.

Last week the County Agent en-.
deavored to, ascertain the needs OF
potatoes in Manchester in order that
the farmers might have market f0I
their surplus potatoes and also en-
courage greater use OF potatoes
Our government is demanding that
we use less wheat to the extent that
American people will soon be asked
to do without wheat entirely until
harvest time. Potatoes, as every
housewife knows, are practically the
only substitutes in the home for
wheat
Several patriotic people in the city
of Manchester assisted in this cam
paign and the Farm Bureau wishes
to express its appreciation OF their
efforts. The following named assisted
in soliciting orders: o. G. Denton,
Cal Stimson, Oscar Sallberg, M. I. B.
Richmond, Calvin Croskey, Alonzo f.
Kenyon, Bernard Cooking, Duane
Heath, Paul Allyn, George White, Ray
Thompson, Clair Klaus and Fred
Hartke.
Farmers should appreciate the eff
forts that the county agent and others
have given to secure market for
their potatoes at this time Of the year.
II you have any surplus at this time,
notify the county agents Office. There
may not be market for all the pota-
toes but every effort will be made to
locate market as far as time and
effort will permit. This should be
taken up at once in order that the
farm work will not be interfered
with at corn planting time.
Docking Lambs.
The county agent has observed that
the matter Of docking lambs has been
deferred on the part of some farmers.
This is an operation that should be
performed early in the season. The
reasons for docking are as follows:
/. The tail is useless and the blood
which promotes its growth can be
better utilized elsewhere.
3. Docking is an evidence of care
full shepherding. Buyers leave the
neglected nocks untouched until the
last.
8. In the case of ewes long tail
is sometimes an obstruction In the
act of population.
4. Docking adds greatly to the APP
pearance Of sheep.
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-05-01

underneath the scab which forms, ant
the suppuration which ensues may
. cause an aftermath of greater pain tt
the lamb than the sharp, clean cut Of
a knife. OF course, danger Of infec.
ton is more liable from knife wound
yet when clean bedding and strict
sanitary measures are employed this
will, to very great extent, be obvi-
ated.
Tractors.
The county agent has Just received
notice through the Iowa State col
lege that there will be 1000 Ford trac-
tors distributed over Iowa in the near
future. Through the efforts Of Direc-
tor Bliss and Mr.. Herring of Des
Moines this work is being taken up
on the recommendation of Henry
Ford who has been manufacturing
thousands of these tractors to relieve
the labor situation in the United
States.
The distribution of these tractors
| is to be made without profit to any
one and are to be sold at actual cost,
plus freight and setting up. These
tractors are to be distributed in ev-
cry county in the state at the recon-
mendation of the county agents and
the county chairman of the Council Of
Defense.
The county agent is not informed
Of the merits of the Ford tractor but
recommends that if there are any far
mers who are interested in securing
one of these tractors in order to han
die his spring work to please notify
this Office at once and we shall tske
the matter up with Mr.. Herring of
Des Moines and such information Sc
cured as is requested.
If there is any section of the county
that is backward in the spring work
owing to lack of horsepower the coun-
ty agent would appreciate this infor-
nation at once from any one who is
acquainted with the facts. Those
people who have tractors and could
do work outside Of their own require
ments should make arrangements to
do so If possible. An exchange Of
work might be done without handi-
Gaping the work on either farm in
question.
II trrsctormen are having tractor
troubles the county agent will be glad
to learn these facts. This Office will
endeavor to secure experts in cases
where the tractor trouble warrants.
Men who own tractors will do favor
by giving the county agent the name
of their tractor, horsepower and the
date purchased. Also whether they
can do outside work. This is very
valuable information at this time in
the face of the labor shortage which
is occurring in some places.
