are much longer lived than any other
Of our domestic fowls.
1t is common practice to mate old
females with young ganders and old
ganders with young females.
Matings with geese are often perma-
nent unless changed by the breeder.
and for this reason any matings that
are to be changed should be changed
In the fall so that several months may
elapse before the breeding season.
Gamblers are very savage during the
breeding season. and for that reason IL
is best to keep each mating penned
to itself to prevent the ganders injur-
ing each other.

the swine herd.
Use crude oil on the hogs to kill lice
during the winter months.
Squaw flint corn or any Of the early
flint varieties are excellent for hog

As a hog pasture alfalfa cannot be
excelled, and the hogs do not require
the attention that other stock do as
they do not bloat Pasturing the field
when wet damages the crop, and will
eventually mean q poor stand.
Several extensive hog raisers use
houses without floors with apparent
success. II plenty Of fresh bedding Is
kept In the houses the pigs will come
along all right.
A good mineral mixture In which to
feed the salt is: two bushels of wood
ashes or charcoal. one peck OF salt,
one peck of air-slaked lime.
The right kind of water and plenty
Of 1t Is supplied only when there Is
good fresh water before the sows at

When lambs become chilled they
should be put in a box and taken to a

Where there L. no pasture and 1t 10
necessary to feed throughout the win
ter season, a ration of three or four
pounds per head per day of clover or
alfalfa hay alone may be used. Ap-
proximately quarter to half pound Of
corn should be added three to four
weeks before lambing
A more economical ration which
may be used is two to three pounds
Of alfalfa or clover hay and two pounds
Of silage. The silage must be OF good
quality and not frozen or moldy.
Salt should be kept before the flock
at all times; an unlimited supply of
fresh water should also be available.
II Is important that the ewes get a
moderate amount Of exercise, and
where the flock Is not on pasture the
rough feed should be placed some dis
lance from the sheds or barn so that
the flock will get exercise In going to
and from their feed.
Care must always be taken that preg-
nant ewes are not chased by dogs or
jammed through narrow gates or doors,
as any rough treatment will cause a
large per cent Of loss Of lambs and
perhaps Of ewes.

lambing season are very largely solved
