Take Time to Get Into
Sheep Raising Business

High prices for both wool and NUT
ton have kept the sheep industry in
the limelight the last two years and
have caused strong demand for
breeding stock of all ages.
Some farmers who have had no ex-
perience as shepherds are rushing
into sheep Austin A. Dowell, live
stock specialist with the agricultural
extension service at University farm.
st. Paul, Mimi. believes the best plan
is to grow gradually into the. business
of sheep raising.
''Not every farmer can handle sheep
successfully, and those without previ-
GUS experience should go slowly in in
vesting their funds in this class of
stock" says Mr.. Dowell. ut always
pays to be conservative in a period of
high prices, consequently we advise
starting with a small flock of grade
ewes and gradually getting into the
business BY using pure bred rams
and keeping the best eve lambs, 1t is
possible to develop high-class flock
at comparatively little expense"

Make an Early Start to
Have Year-Round Garden

The garden Is an essential part of
the home, and one should not be dis
couraged because of an unfavorable
season. If it did not pay last season.
1t was probably because of unusual
weather conditions or improper ham
ding. So make an early start and
lay the foundation for year-round
garden. advises A. g. Schilletter. ex-
tension horticulturist. Clemson col
lege, who gives below five fundamen-
tai factors for successful garden.
1. Good seed.
2. Thorough preparation of soil.
3. Liberal fertilization.
4. Frequent cultivation.
5. Protection from insects and DIS
eases
Do not depend on cheap seed or
those that are easy to get. Order
from a reliable seedman, because If
you start out with poor seed. an Of

Should Buy Fertilizer
MAJ for Delivery in March

'Buy your Fertilizers in January
and February for March delivery
says e. Truog Of the soils department
Of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
sture.
"Dairymen will want acid phos-
phate and lime General farmers may
use the complete fertilizer and in
most cases one containing consider
able nitrogen.
January and February orders
should be made because of the sea-
sonal supply which is insured by
manufacturers through the first three
months of the year. The 'ageing
process puts the fertilizer in mechan-
zeal condition and reduces its acidity.
By ordering early the farmer is as
sured Of properly aged fertilizer.
When all sold out manufacturers
are tempted to sell insuficiently
aged material.
"The kind of fertilizer to buy
should depend on the type of farm
ing-dairy. general, or truck farming.
The amount should depend on the
condition and the abundance of the
soil materials, and the kind of crops
grown on the particular fields" he
declares.

Scratching Litter Best
to Use in Poultry Pens

Nowadays any poultry owner that
even pretends to be up-t0-date and
progressive uses q scratching litter and
feeds the grains In 1t. But many peo-
pie are not as. careful to keep the lit
ter in good condition as they should
be. The litter should be from 8 to 10
inches deep. and when fresh straw Is
put in all the old should be cleaned
out and the floor swept.
During the months when the fowls
are confined, the floor will need clean
ing frequently. though it is impossible
to give any set rule for this. Do not
wait until there are enough droppings
on the floor to cause an unpleasant
odor.
If rain or snow blows in on the
litter it should be changed as soon as
possible before roup appears.
Corn will do for scratch feed for
evenings but is too fattening to feed
all the time; besides. it is too easily
found to provide enough work and ex-
ercise. If corn is fed in the evening.
oats may be used for the morning feed.

Best to Winter Horses
in Large, Open Spaces

When teams have only such hauling
as must be done and the corn husking
wagons to handle, the most economic
way to winter them is to turn them out
whenever possible and let them live in
the open in large lot, or even In
pasture if it does not become soft un-
der foot.
The stabbed horse has the brighter
coat. but the work Of caring for him
offsets any advantage gained in this
respect. We have always fed large
quantities Of rough feed such as coarse
fodder, which is bad to handle In the
hangers. in the open. and make one
operation of the feeding for the day
instead of doing 1t three times day
as some farmers do.
The horses. living in the open air,
get long coats. 1t is true. and have an
unkempt appearance that is not at
tractive, but they are really in better
shape for the following seasons work
than the animal which has been PAM
pered and fed full feeds of grain all
through the winter.

Give Attention to
Horses in Winter
Need Sufficient Exercise to
Keep Muscles in Shape.

Horses and mules that are to do
hard work during the spring and sum
mer break in best Ii they have had
sufficient exercise during the winter
to keep tlieir muscles in shape.
Enough feed so they become readily
accustomed 10 full ration and are in
good flesh, is also important. says Il. A.
Trowbridge Of Missouri.
The amount OF feed required varies.
he finds with the condition and indi-
viduality of the horse and the work
done. A safe rule TO foilUw, however,
Is to feed 10 to IL pounds Of grain and
10 TO Is pounds of hay to 1.O0Ospounds
of live weight. For example. horse
weighing 100 pounds would need II
to 10 pounds of grain per day and IA
or 10 pounds of hay. The following
rations have proved satisfactory. All
parts are by weight:
Ration mixture. one-half oats.
one-half corn; feed II or IL pounds
daily for 1000 pounds live weight
Mixed hay, clover and timothy; feed
Y pounds daily per 1000 pounds live
weight.
Ration 2.-Mixture, parts corn, 2
parts bran; feed II or II pounds daily
per LOCO pounds live weight. Mixed
clover and timothy hay; feed IL
pounds daily per 1000 pounds live
weight.
Ration 3.-Mixture, IS parts corn. 3
parts bran. part oilmeaI; feed IL
pounds daily per 1000 pounds live
weight. Mixed clover and timothy
hay; same as above.
In case only timothy hay is avail

pounds Of corn. 2 pounds of bran and
1pound of oilmeal is better when fed
at the rate of III or IL pounds per
