of the ram lambs will begin to worry
the rest of the flock and to lose flesh
before this time. Furthermore, the
market may not be strong at the time
the lambs reach this age and they may
be held back by the owner for several
weeks for higher prices. During this
time the ram lambs will not only
rapidly lose in weight but IL kept
with the rest of the flock they will also
cause the ewes and eve lambs to
lose flesh.
Operation Not Dangerous.
Neither docking nor castrating are
dangerous operations If properly per-
formed. Lambs should be locked and
castrated when they are from
seven to fourteen days of age,
as there is practically no retarding
OF growth and less pain than Is the
case when they are older. Lambs may
be both locked and castrated at the
same time, thus avoiding the neces-
sity Of handling them twice. The
operations should be performed on a
clear, cool morning and care should
be taken that the animals are not ex-
cited or overheated either before or
after the work is done.
A sharp knife or some type OF dock
ing irons may be used to do the dock
ing. In either case the tail should be
cut at the first joint which occurs
about one inch from the body. II a
knife is used the lamb should be held
with the feet up. the rump resting OH
the top of the fence or upon the knee
of the person assisting in the work.
There is less pain when the knife is
used, but there is more loss Of blood
and 1t is sometimes necessary to tie
a string around the stump to prevent
the lamb from losing large amount
of blood. This string must be re-
moved a few hours later. When hot
irons are used 1t is necessary to rest
the lamb on a board. The irons scar
the stump as the cut is made and
this prevents the loss of blood. The
wound will heal more slowly, however,
than when a knife Is used.
In castrating, the lamb should be
held in the same position as for dock
ing. The lower third of the scrotum
should be cut off and the testicles
pulled straight out. 1t is highly Inn
portant that the wound be washed
with an antiseptic solution and that
the hands and knife be disinfected
for each operation. 1t is also neces-
sary to furnish clean quarters for the
lambs in order to prevent infection
of the wounds.

SUPPLY OF ARSENIC IS LOW
Fruit Growers Who Have Not Already
Purchased Summer Stock should
Hasten to Do SO.

A. G. Ruggles, Minnesota state ento-
mologist, sounds warning that supplies
of crude arsenic, upon which mixtures
for fighting insects are commonly
based, are running very low. He ex-
plains that the copper smelling indus
try has been operated far below ca
pacity and that, as arsenic is a by
product of the smelters, its produc-
ton is not sufficient to meet the de-
mand. ut looks now as if there would
be a serious shortage In 1928" says
Mr.. Ruggles. GAS all of our stomach

lead, arsenate Of zinc, arsenate of cal

ic, fruit growers who have not already
purchased supplies should hasten to

Docking and castration of lambs
destined for the market materially In
creases their market value because of
Improvement in quality, according to
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
There are several reasons for this.
Docking makes the headquarters of
lambs appear more blocky and deep
and 1t also adds much to the clean
illness Of the animals. Thus they ap-
pear more attractive to the buyer
when they reach the market Ewes
which are to be kept In the breeding
flock should also be locked as very
large portion of the unlocked ewes
will fail to breed.
Good Quality Desirable.
Ram lambs over three months of
age tend to grow thin and develop
coarse shoulders and neck. Thin
fleshed, coarse, open-shouldered lambs
are not of a desirable quality and
when they reach the market they are
Disseminated against by the buyers
because of these features. II the lambs
are castrated and locked when they
are a few days old their growth will
not be retarded On the other hand
they will present better appearance
and II they have been properly fed
will have a smooth, desirable finish
at four months of age. Lambs of good
quality In this condition command a
premium over bucky and unlocked
lambs at the markets OftentimeS
during the period when the Jersey
City market is receiving large numbers
of lambs from the Eastern states,
lamb prices at that market fiuctuate
sharply because Of the high percentage
of unlocked and bucky lambs which
are Disseminated against by buyers
seeking high-quality product. Improv-
ing the quality of the lambs intended
for that market will help to stabilize
prices, according to members Of the
trade represented there.
Wether lambs are quiet and easily
handled. They feed well and make
good gains in flesh, particularly in the
hindquarters. the region of the high
priced cuts. Thus better quality of
carcass is secured together with higher
market prices for wether lambs. Meat
of this quality when sold by the re-
taller will result In a well satisfied
consumer and a future demand for
more meat of the same quality. 1t Is
often stated that lambs which are to
be shipped to the market before they
are four months old need not be
castrated. This is mistake as some

KEEP YOUNG LAMBS GROWING
Small Opening Into Adjoining Lot
Where Forage Crop Is Growing
Is Excellent Plan.

1t Is an excellent practice to have
growing some palatable forage near
the regular sheep pasture for the
lambs to feed upon while they are still
sucking the ewes. If the forage crop
is sown in an adjoining lot. small
opening can be made through the fence
SO that the lambs have access to the
supplemental feed. They will soon
learn the trick of running to the for
age feed and in this way will stimu-
late flesh and bone growth. Rape is
an excellent forage for this purpose.
New clover is splendid.

the growth-pr0ducing food principle.
A delicious pie Is prepared by filling
baked shell with oranges cut In small
pieces and mixed with sugar; cover
with meringue and brown quickly In
a hot oven. Serve cold.
AS simple salad there is no more
appetfzing one than sliced oranges
with a French dressing. Cover the
fruit with boiling water and let stand
ten minutes, then drain and cover with
cold water ten minutes. The peel will
then come off easily. leaving the fruit
free from the white inner peel, Slice
In rounds; arrange In overlapping
slices on lettuce with French dressing.
Use three tablespoonful of oil with
one Of lemon juice, salt and cayenne
and teaspoonful of powdered sugar.
Beat well with an egg-beater to blend
the ingredients; chill and serve.
Nobody will refuse a dish of plain
sliced oranges, sprinkled lightly with
sugar accompany with cake or cookies
as a dessert.
Ambrosia, an old-fashioned dish, is
sliced oranges, sprinkled in layers with
sugar and grated coconut. Served In
a glass dish, it is both attractive and
tasty. In serving oranges In any
baked mixture, like custard or fruit
buildings, the fruit Is apt to become
bitter because of overheating. The
fruit is best served very lightly heat
ed or perfectly fresh.
Orange shortcake Is a great favorite.
Prepare rich biscuit dough, bake in
layers or butter one layer and lay ON
another before baking, then split, but
ter well and heap up with cut-up Or
anges mixed to sweeten with sugar,
allowing the juice to soak into the
cake. Serve at once while the short
cake Is hot Grated orange rind makes
delicious fiavoring for cakes, frostings
and sauces; the juice used with pow
dered sugar a most dainty icing for
cakes, and the juice and rind delight
full pudding sauce for a dainty cottage
pudding.
A small glass of unstrained orange
juice Is good drink for the aged, re-
freshing and quite as valuable for the
aged as for the small baby. The or
ange juice acts on the bowels and
keeps them in healthy activity.

AS HEAVY WIND.
SWEEPS PRAIRIE
Hundreds of Acres Will Be
Harvested with Diff
ficulty

Heavy wind and rainstorm about
Monday afternoon leveled to the
ground hundreds of acres of growing
grain between point several miles
north of Ferdinand and Grangeville.
The storm was most severe In the
regions of Ferdinand and Cottonwood,
where damage to grain was the great
est. Only patches of grain in the
fields suffered from the storm. The
down garin is mostly i'm gullies
through which the wind swept with
high velocity. Fall grain suffered
mainly. Being rank. it was unable
to withstand the strong wind, while
the spring grain was practically not
damaged.
Much difficulty will be encountered
by ranchers in harvesting the grain
that was beaten to the ground.
