In many sections it is most profit
able to have lambs arrive in March or
even earlier. One important advan-
tage of this plan is that other work
is then less urgent and full attention
can be given to the ewes and the new
arrivals. Another advantage gained
by early lambing is that the lambs
can be made sufficiently heavy and
fat to market in June or July. Early
marketing usually means higher
prices and it is especially desirable
because the lambs are disposed of be
fore the time of greater danger Of
injury by internal parasites. The
eve lambs are stronger than those
which arrive later in the season and
are, therefore kept for the breeding
flock. They are less susceptible TO
injury caused by parasites, which is
most serious in warm, damp periods
of July or August.

Straw Is Good Feed,

The high prices paid for roughage
teresting experiments in the feeding
of oats straw. The Missouri En-
pertinent Station fed farm work
horses oats straw for six weeks and
then changed to mixture of equal
parts of clover and timothy hay for
the same length of time. The grain
fed during both periods was the
same Apparently the horses did as
we'll on oat straw as on hay for
rOughage.
These experiments open up new
field in regard to the feeding of work
stock, especially during the winter
months. If straw can be used one,
half of the time for feeding work
stock, the saving of time, labor and
land will be huge. OF course, it is
not necessary to tell the farmer who
has handled stock for years that dur
ing the heavy spring work oats
straw is not heavy enough to feed.
One advantage of feeding straw, in
winter is due to the fact that ii is
less palatable and the horses there
fore do not gorge themselves on it,
as they will do with good hay. Also
the straw supplies seasonal variety.
Continuous feeding on any one ra-
tion, even though it contains the best
Of hay, becomes monotOnous after a
while,

Commercial Chick Feeds.

When one has only few chickens,
it is less trouble TO purchase prepar-
ed chick feeds, but where consider
able number are reared il is some
times cheaper TO buy the finely

Meaning OF Market Terms.

The market is FIRM
when. for the commodity under
consideration. prices are holding fair
ly from day to day and from week to
week, with the values more prompt
than the declines and values gaining
only few cents when compared with
the week or fortnight before.
The market is STRONG
when advances are fairly sharp
and the declines slight and quickly
overcome.
The market is WEAK
when the declines are sharp and
persistent. continually reaching low
points and making only slight and
short recoveries. The degree of
weakness is measured by the fire.
quency and extent of such move
ments.
The market is DRAGGING
when prices say almost imper-
ceptibly. simply falling a little short
OF the previous top quotations from
time to time so that the decline is
scarcely noticeable except by COM
parison with the leyel of the previous
week or month.
Reports of the condition of the
crop, the shipments, the weather, are
factors in determining what may be
expected to follow a firm, strong.
weak or dragging market. The pro-
gressive produce grower studies all
of these conditions and markets his
produce accordingly.
Any given weather condition
cold, rain or heat-may effect one
market one way and another market
in the directly opposite way. A peri
cd of rainy weather, for instance,
might put peach prices away up in
New York or Chicago and away down
in Atlanta or Augusta. The effect
OF any particular weather condition
is likely to be different in the big
consuming market from what il Is in
producing SeCllOus. III the case cit
ed the rain might delay gathering.
Then at the beginning u fair wealth
er, great quantities 3f more or less
damaged peaches wou't come in at
nee, instead OF being distributed
;vor a period OF week, ana prices
would go down sharply AT the
same time, 4 shortage would have
been caused in some of the larger
cities and prices would go up. An
other set of conditions might reverse
the process, making prices high in
producing sections and relatively low
and market reporting service of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, carrying full information on
weather and crop conditions kept
both the shipper and the consumer
posted as to such conditions, and, in
general way. works to smooth out
such discrepancies.

II is highly advantageous for all
or most of the farms in a neighbor,
hood to keep the same breed of sheep
After a decision has been made as tC
a suitable breed, the aim should be
to obtain ewes that are individually
good and that have as many crosses
as possible of the breed selected
With such foundation and the con-
tinuOus use of pure-bred rams of the
same breed, the flock will make
steady Improvement.

Prnnc Kiglt Now.

March is perhaps the ideal month
in which to prune fruit trees as it
is such A short time before growth
starts and the wounds begin to heal.
Care must he usd in pruning to make
a nice smooth cut just as close to the
lateral branch as possible. DO not
use an ak to prune your fruit trees
nor depend upon the mules to prune
thin. Both may do damage which
it will take years for the tree to out
grow.

Some Essentials In Sheep Raising

Some Essentials In Sheep Raising.
Sheep raising does not require ex-
pensive equipment or heavy labor
but does require steady and contin-
nous attention.
The beginner may acquire expert
ence with less than 20 ewes, but for
economy of time and fencing. and to
assure proper care, flock of 60 or
more ewes are better.
In most cases lambs are profitable
II made ready for market at about 4
months, weighing 65 to 10 pounds
Unless the flock has very large
territory to range over it is necessary
10 make divisions of the pasture or
10 use seeded forage crops. This
permits The change of grazing ground
necessary 10 insure the health and
thrift OF the lambs.

other. one or more of the daily feeds
consists Of a moistened mash. For
convenience they may be termed the
"dry-feed" and the mash" systems,
although in the dry-feed system a dry
mash is often used. Dry feeding is
used by many where IL is not con-
venient to make and feed a moisten-
ed mash The greatest advantages
to be derived from the dry system
are the saving of labor and the les
sened danger of bowel trouble re-
sulting from sloppy or soured mash

Don't Plant poppics.

The above caution does not apply
to the common garden poppy; but II
does apply to the Flanders poppy.
Rumor has it that many of the re-
turning soldiers are bringing home
with them seed of this plant because
it grows on many of the battlefields
abroad. In Europe it is a most
troublesome weed. In America it may
grow and spread even more rapidly
than did the English sparrow. Don't
plant the Flanders poppy.

Club Calf Brings 81 Pound \
Minnesota Show

Sixteen counties in Minnesota We're
entitled to send As boy and girl mem
bers. with their calves which had won
prizes in their own county. to the
first baby beef show held in that
State. Owing to the influenza cpl
demic only 20 were able to go to st.
Paul in December and exhibit the
baby beeves they had raised; but the
crowd made up in enthusiasm what it
lacked in members. The calves were
sold AT auction and brought an av-
erage of 20 cents a pound.
The champion, owned by Irwin
Mckay, was sold for 35 cents a
pound, and with the prizes Won,
Melted his young owner $447. Later
the calf was resold for $3.50, or for
little more than s pound.
