DURING WINTER SHEEP NEED
GOOD FEED AND EXERCISE

AT this season the flock owner is
principally interested in fall and
winter feeding and maintenance. The
shepherd should train himself to read
the condition OF his sheep by feeling
the bone Of the loin or back. AT no
time while they are in lamb should
Ewes be allowed to lose weight. In
open. wet fall seasons there is danger
OF waiting too long TO start feeding.

agriculture.

stalks placed where the ewes can eat
eff the leaves may be used as a part
Of the roughage ration. II this ration
is made up largely of cornstalks or
straw. a heterogeneous concentrate
should also be used. Timothy hay is
good sheep feed.
Silage will reduce the cost Of the
ration, but is best to use it with hay.
Feed only silage made from well-ma.
tured corn and be sure that it is not
spoiled, frozen or moldy. Three pounds
per head a day is the limit for this
iced. For breed ewes, roots, particular
" turnips, should be used sparinglv
until after Landing. The two rations
here given will be found satisfactory
