of a convenient size, so that the lambs
and ewes will consume all the forage
in a period of about two weeks and
This does not allow the use of a Sec

plowed and a second crop seeded to
afford later forage crops.
Where lambs are to go to market an
effort should be made to get them off
early. Lambs make the best and,
cheapest gains during the first four
months of their lives. A grain feed
fed in a lamb creep arranged in the
field will prove helpful in pushing the
lambs along and keeping them in good
condition. This feed should consist of
corn, oats and bran. Lambs should be
fed all but no more than they will
clean up each day. Never put clean
feed into the trough where old feed
remains.
Lambs weighing 60 to 70 pounds
make the most desirable market offer

size dress out desirable market car

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR SHEEP
Alternating Pasturage Advised to
Keep Plants Growing and Pre-
vent Stomach Worms.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because of the Importance Of eco
nomical feeding in profitable sheep
raising, the United States department
of agriculture directs special attention
to opportunities for growing forage
crops as a feed for lambs and ewes
Early spring pasturages of wheat or
rye may be used at the start. These
provide succu1ent green feed appetiz-
ing to the ewes and lambs. Overpas-
turing, however, must be avoided when
these crops are later to be used for
grain. Where it is possible to keep the
rye or wheat pasture about / IL to two
inches high, the lambs and ewes seem
to relish it more and will consume
larger amounts. Oats and Canadian
field peas may be sOWn together early
in the spring at the rate of ~ bushels
of field peas and ~ bushels of oats
to the acre. This crop should then be
ready when it is time to take the flock
off the rye or wheat.
Rape, another good forage crop, may
be sown at the rate of six to eight
pounds an acre, and will provide later
pasturage, following. the oats and Ca
madam field peas. In sections where
soy beans and cowpeas grow satisfac-
torily they furnish an excellent mid
summer pasture. If sOwed later they
make a good forage crop in late sum-
mer and early fall. When sown in corn
they serve as an excellent supplement

If pastured by alternating the graz
ing in different parts and not allowing
any particular section to be too closely
eaten, field of soy beans may be used
for a considerable time. When most
Of the leaves have been eaten it is time
to move to a fresh portion of the field
SO that the plants on the grazed part
will have a chance to leaf again. In
some sections it may be desirable to
cut this growth and use it for hay, es-
pecially when other leguminOus hays
are not available.
It is good practice to SOW rape at
the last cultivation Of corn. The lambs
can then be turned in the corn field in
the fall and will feed upon the lower
leaves of the corn and rape and make
excellent gains.
Lambs not only make a rapid and
cheap gain on forages of this kind, but
a forage-crOp system prevents, to a
large extent, injury from stomach
worms. It has been demonstrated that
by changing lambs every two weeks to
ground not previously grazed that sea-
son, stomach worms can be effectively

Alaska and Labrador served tho

interesting way by contributing tho
motive power for the sleds that kent

trenches supplied during the dead Of
winter. In four days, after a hea.I

to get through the binding blizzard
At last the situation became desper-

dogs to a light sled and managed to
make the long and perilous trip down

that the cold water may be conducted

TANKS TO KEEP CREAM COOL
Can Be Purchased From Dealers in
Dairy Supplies, or They May Be
Made on the Farm.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
On most farms cream can. be cooled
most effectively by the use Of cold
water. In order to facilitate the cool
ing various types of tanks have been
devised. Such tanks can be purchased
from dealers in dairy supplies and
sometimes from the local hardware
merchant, or they may be made on the
farm. A cooling tank should be large
enough to hold at least two cream
cans in order that the newly sepa-
rated cream may be cooled in can
separate from that previously gath
cred.
: In order to keep the cream cool it
is necessary to change the water sew
era1 times a day. For this reason the
tank should be situated between the
well and the stock tank so that all
water pumped for the stock passes
through the cooling tank, thence to
the stock tank.
Of whatever design the cooling tank
may be it should have a tight cover
to keep out the heat, and for the same
reason it is advisable to place it In
the dairy house or under a shed so
that the sun cannot shine directly
upon it.
An excellent tank may be made Of
two-inch planed cypress boards, prop
erly bOlted together, painted on the
outside and oiled on the inside; or, if
it is desirable to keep the cost down
to the minimum, a very simple and
cheap cooling tank may be made from
two or more oil or vinegar barrels
one for each can.

the tank should be about liz inches

PUTTING EAR CORN IN sILo
Best to Add Some Stalks Because They
Furnish Much Sugar Essential
to Fermentation.

It has been found practical to en-
sile soft corn ears without any stalks,
but it is better to add some stalks
because they furnish much sugar
which is essential to proper fermenta"
ton. Tests made at Ames on the
Iowa station show that an immense
amount of corn can be slowed away
In a silo this way, that it will not
spoil, and that it makes an exceed

concentrate and not as roughage.
The ears should be cut fire and thor

filling. Do not let any spoiled ears
get in, or too big proportion of ma.
ture corn, as this does not pack ans-

VETcH CROP IN HOME GARDEN
Spade3 or Hoed Under 1t Will Assist
in Keeping Soil Supplied With
Needed Humus.

A few cents worth of vetch seed
planted in the garden each year and
spaded or hOed under as a green ma
nure crop will keep the soil supplied
with humus and, to a large extent, with
nitrogen. The vetch should be kept
growing at all times in all available
spaces.
For example, if early corn or cab
bage are not removed in time to allow
for a follow-up crop, vetch can be
planted between the rows at the time
of the last cultivation. Tt will then be
large enough to spade under in the fal:
or spring. Another good way to use
vetch is to SOW it in the fall or spring
when the garden is being spaded" in
preparation for tomatoes.
By the time the tomato plants are
ready to eat, the vetch will be well I'M
der way. If the vetch is not more than
three or four inches high, places can
be cleared at proper distances for
planting the tomatoes by turning ul-
der a spade or two of soil. Then
when the vetch left between the to-
matoes is six. or eight inches high, it
can be hoed in. Since it is green and
tender, this is. no great task and the
vetch will soon rot. If vetch is used in
this way, the soil should be inocu-
lated with the necessary bacteria. In
structions for doing this simple work

When a number of these cells are de-

In the greenhouse the sugar-beet
