Hay can be put in small cocks green

very small lunches, each containing
about three forkfuls of hay, before the

How to Cock Hay.
There are two ways to make a hay

prepared by the United States Depart

OF the difficulties encountered in
sheep raising In New England 1t Is be-
lieved that the disease factor is the
most important. Some growers have
but little trouble in this respect, espe-
cially those who are careful about Sc
lection, feed well, provide sanitary
quarters and keep their flocks In the
prime Of condition throughout the sea-
son, while others report large losses, at
times as high as 80 per cent of their
entire fiocks.
Stomach worms, grub In the head,
nOdular disease of the intestines, and
indigestion are the troubles most fire.
Quently reported in New England and
seem to be the ones to which most loss
is due. Skin diseases and ticks are al
so important and give considerable
trouble unless regular dipping is prac-
ticed.
FIoeks Degeneratlng.
Much complaint is heard of flocks
running out or degenerating, and many
breeders say that they have to sell out
and start their fiocks anew at inter-
walls Of every eight or ten years. It is
believed that great deal Of the run
ming out of focks is due as much to
worm trouble, which is not recognized
as such In many cases, as to anything
else. A change Of pasture at intervals
Of every ten days or two weeks is rec
commended as q safeguard against
worm trouble, though this is not al
ways practicable as New England pas
lures are located. 1t is likely that
much more could be done in combating
this disease by making more extensive
use Of aftermaths and forage crops In
supplementing the regular pastures.
AS prevention of infection is the most
practical means of handling this trou-
BILE, 1t is important that the breeder
inform himself of the method outlined
In Farmers Bulletin $40 in order to be
better enabled to cope with 1t.

WHAT FARMER THINKS
OF THE COUNTY AGENT.

The states relations service Of
the United States department of
agriculture has on file thou
sands of letters from farmers
telling Of help they have re-
ceived from county agents.
The following is quoted from
a letter written by w. H. Har-
vey, a farmer of Long Beach,
CAL:
Farming Is no longer q blum
dering job. 1t is growing into a
science. To succeed, organlza-
ton, method, system and sclen-
tific knowledge are needed.
These steps are developed and
brought about or made possible
by the right kind Of a county
agent. He is, therefore,
trained, skilled man in personal
touch with the farmer to help
solve the thousand and one
farm problems as they come up
and has at his beck and call the
scientific men Of this great
country"
