ECONOMICAL FEED FOR SHEEP
Alternating Pasturage Advised "a

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
10 opportunities for growing forage
'.rops as a feed for lambs and ewes.
Early spring pasturages of wheat or
rye may be used at the start. These
provide succulent 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 1t is possible to keep the
rye or wheat pasture about / II 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 u bushels
of field peas and IL bushels of oats
to the acre. This crop should then be
ready VIXEN it Is time to take the flock
off the ryn 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-
torlv 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
hey serve as an excellent supplement
% the corn for fattening lambs.
If pastured by alternating the graz
ng In different parts and not allowing
my particular section to be too closely
eaten, a field Of soy beans may be used
or considerable time. When most
II the leaves have been eaten 1t is time
% move to q fresh portion of the field
so that the plants on the grazed part
will have 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.
1t 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
forage-crop system prevents, to a
large extent, injury from stomach
worms. 1t has been demonstrated that
by changing lambs every two weeks to
ground not previously grazed that sea-
son, stomach worms can be effectively

controlled. Since this condition ex-
lists, it is better to have the pastures
Of a convenient size, so that the lambs
and ewes will consume all the forage
In period Of about two weeks and
lgain be turned on new pasture.
This does not allow the use of sec
md growth. The ground can then be
olowed and second crop seeded to
afford later forage crops.
Where lambs are to go to market an
effort should be made to get them on
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
led all but no more than they will
clean up each day. Never put clean
feed into the trough where old feed
remains.
Lambs weighing go to rs pounds
make the most desirable market offer
ing. The reason Is that lambs of this
size dress out desirable market car
cass, which can be more readily ham
died by the butcher, in meeting the de-
mands of his trade. Heavier lambs do
not sell so readily. and when supplies
are large there may be small price
discrimination In favor of lambs under
80 pounds.
Growers will find that by following
a system OF forage crops for rotation

worms, AMI supplying grain feed In O.
lamb creep to keep the lambs gaining
steadily, larger profits can be realized.

tain concerning the population Of a
certain West Indian island, when the
old sea dog replied: well, there are

tuguese, a few Dutchmen and dozen
other races the Lord didn't intend"
The fsnazing wonder Of all (espe-
cially to n North American less tamil
lar with European races, and holding
decided views concerning color lines,
etc.), is the manner in which this coun-
try Is slowly, and apparently with har-
mony and democratic social and racial
relations, evolving a distinct Brazilian
type. The salient characteristics of
what Is becoming to be known as the
true Brazilian character include the
aristocratic culture and high helli-
gence of the old family Portuguese
stock, at once Latin and Moorish by
inheritance, the exaltation, daring and
passion Of vigorous aborigine's blood,
softened by the affectionate, emotional
strain of the African, especially in
north Hrazil--the whole shot through
with typical modernity and enterprise
that marriage and general contact with
European races have afforded. With
such elements, the national home life
of Brazil is being compounded.
The Latin races are said to be lack

with English or Teutonic peoples

States, a melting pot of the nations.
When President-Elect Epitacio Pes
soa was here recently he said, in pub
lie address:
Having In mind the close rela-
tons which have always existed be-
tween our two countries 1t is not sur
prising that the entrance of the United
States In the great European con-
fiict should have had decisive in
fluence on Brazil's procedure. To the
precious title of friend, uniting our
destinies and claiming our share of
effort and sacrifice, we added that Of
ally-allied to the nation which has
just furnished to history the most
brilliant examples Of ability and force.
Nov that the monstrous scourge
has disappeared from the face OF the
civilized world, and nations, impelled
by accumulated energy in the making
up Of lost time, are to resume their
old life of peace and toll, Brazil will
rejoice in continuing to develop more
and more the relations of every kind
which bind her to the United States.
and to strive for this end will be one
of the fondest endeavors of my gov
eminent"
It is thus of particular importance
that the United States endeavor to I'M
derstand the conditions of life in this
vast melting pot of the nations. The
melting pot of Brazil is not just like
ours. 1t seems, however, to be quite
as complicated a boiling. The racial
diversity in Brazilian society is as pro-
nounced as is the variety of its geo.
graphical groups. A study of the home
life Is a study in ethnology. The orig
inal Portuguese stock Is found In all
phases of transition from unadulter-
ated purity through partial and com
plete mixtures with native Indian and
negro and fusion with foreign ma
tions-Italian, German. English, Span
ish and American. The Brazil of to-
day is a melting pot of races and ma
tionalitles as heterogeneous as it is dis
tracing to the chance traveller. says
Clayton s. Cooper In New York Sun.
On beginning to ask questions one
finds himself entangled in an intricate
maze of fusions between Portuguese
and Brazillan-P foreigners
and Brazilian foreigners, Brazilians
who are Brazillans and Brazillans who
are ethnologically cabocios or mestizos,
or sertaos; or Brazilians who locally
or historically are Paulistas, German
Brazillans, -Brazilians, pure
blooded Indians, or sons and daughters
of half dozen foreign races or ma
tions, who are Brazilians because they
were born In Brazil.
