Produce Superior
Lambs for Market
Breeding, Feeding, Castra-
ton and Docking Among
Important Factors.

prepared by ths United States Department,
of AEriculturs)
Producing desirable lambs for the
market Is dependable to large extent
on the three following principles of
management, namely. good breeding,
proper feeding, and castration and
docking Of the lambs. OF these three
factors, the Inter is probably more
abused than any of the others espe-
cially when 1t is considered that dock.
Ing and castrating are easily done and
add much to the desirability and value
OF the lamb carcass. The most deslr-
able, and thus the most profitable,
lamb carcass cannot be produced from
lambs which have not been docked and
castrnted, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.

The farmer does not market his bull
calves as bulls, nor his boar pigs as

Sheep Are Inclined to
Be Finical About Feed

Sheep are naturally of cleanly ma
ture and will not eat anything that
they. themselves, have fouled. 1t Is
poor policy to try to make them eat
Off the floor of their fold. After lying
and trampling upon the straw. they
will not readily eat 1t up clean. By
scattering the stuff outside, however,
about what they will pick up each day
the straw does not become dirty.
Sheep readily respond to feeding
with grain. Breeding ewes should have
corn and oats mixed during the latter
part of the winter. Oats make the
best grain for lambs. One man said
lie always gets the sheep all inside
the pen and shuts the door before he
s,rews the grain along the feeding
trough. Let all the animals get to the
grain together and each one will get
her share.
By having the grain trough along the
side of the pen raised foot from the
bottom, the animals will not be able
to get into 1t and soil 1t. II 1t should
become soiled, 1t should be cleaned
before grain is scattered. Sheep re-
au,re large amount Of fresh water
during the winter.

Eggs for Hatching Must
Be From Healthy Stock

Good eggs are the foundation of good
matches. The best incubator in the
world can't hatch bad eggs. Make sure
the eggs you set come from healthy
stock kept under sanitary conditions
then select only those of normal size
and shape, free from imperfections of
shell.
Eggs for Matching should be as fresh
us possible-not over ten days or two
weeks old-and they should be gath
cred three times day in cold weather
to prevent chilling-then kept In a
room of steady temperature at fifty to
sixty degrees.
When an egg tests fertile at the
end Of the first week of incubation, 1t
doesn't necessarily mean chick. Be-
ginners often blame the incubator
when the real fault may be that the
eggs are too old. Or they may have
been subjected to rough handling or
kept in too cold or too warm tenn
pe1uture. In such cases the germ will
start, but hasn't the strength to COM
plete the process.

FARM H
STQCk %%
STEADILY INCREASED
INTEREST IN HORSE

steadily increased Interest IN horse
breeding has been apparent in the past
year. With lowered prices for farm
products generally, many farmers have
come to appreciate the fuct that the
raising Of few foals yearly entails
minimum of labor and fair market
Tor feed produced on the farm.
However, note of warning may not
be amiss-there never was worse
time to raise scrubs and skates than
now, says Farm Life. The,e Is "a
demand for quality drafters. Such a
demand will not only continue burSin-
crease, provided that the right kind o!
morse Is available. The discouraging
condition of the horse market has
been caused, not so much by lnck of
market as by overproduction of some
thing the market does not want at
any price-the mistit horse, lacking
type, quality and weight.
The stallion gets most Of the blame
for poor colt. the mare gets little and
the mares owner blames himself not
whit. Admitting that the stations
are not, In all instances, what they
ought to be and that, to many farn..
ers, choice Is limited-the assertion
still holds good that, with many of the
mares bred, the expectation Of a good
colt. even with the service of the best

Even II man has no pride in a

If the mare Is not worked after foal-
Ing. the colt gets good start before

The tendency to trouble at foaling time
is much greater, however, with the
early colt, there being n greater per-
centage of joint Ill or general weak
ness than is the case If mares foal
later, say in July or August. The rea-
son for this is that the late foaling

lambs as ram lambs rather than as
wethers? The correction of this neg
lect by castrating and docking the
lambs Is vital, and upon more gen.
eral observance Of the practice in the
farm flocks hinge the real profits and
more general success. 1t is conserv-
atlvely estimated that so per cent of
the native lambs-those marketed
from farm focks-which reach the
markets come unlocked and uncas-
trated, and that the percentage of ram
lambs among the Offering during the
last year has been as large as ever
before.
Universal In Range Flocks.
On the other hand, the custom of
docking all lambs and castrating the
males Is almost universal in the range
flocks, and to this practice in a large
measure may be attributed the fact
that lambs produced on our western
ranges outsell native or farm-raised
lambs at the market on the average
of from 81 to S1.5O per 100 pound ).
These operations have been found
profitable, and that Is the big reason
that they have become so commonly
practiced on the western range. They
are likewise applicable to the farm
flock and Just as necessary for the pro-
ductIon of tine best lambs and conse-
Quently the most profit.

Raspberries Do Well on
Soils Suitable for Corn

Raspberries do well on any Of the
soils that are suitable for corn. Light
sandy soils unless heavily manured
are apt to dry out too much when
there is dry spell. The common way
is to put the plants two feet apart In
rows five or six feet apart.
Unless the grower takes good care
Of the plants when planted in rows.
too many shoots are allowed to grow
and there will be a mass of plants
crowding each other. When they are
too thick. the fruit is apt to be smaller
and may suffer more from diseases.
The variety most commonly used Is
the Latham. The Latham is hardy,
productive variety of good quality.
The berries are large and firm.
The yields vary greatly, the same as
corn or other crops. A low yield is
i'oo0 quarts, while high yield Is
more than 1000. Raspberries are now
sold In pint boxes instead of quart
boxes.
The plants used should come from
young patch that has been well cul-
uvated rather than from an old, neg
iected patch.

Protein Usually Lacking
in Ration for Poultry

The most popular ration being fed
by the farmers who are feeding n bal.
anced ration Is known as the Purdue
standard laying ration. The scratch
feed consists Of ten pounds OF corn,
ten pounds of wheat and five pounds
Of oats. The mash is a mixture of
five pounds of bran, five pounds of
shorts and three pounds of high grade
tankage. Plenty of grit, oyster shells,
succulent feeds and water are kept
before the hens at all times. The un-
balanced rations which are being fed
to some Of the flocks consist of corn
and wheat; corn. wheat and bran
wheat and bran; wheat; and corn.
The principal thing lacking in the un-
balanced rations Is an animal protein.
The hen manufactures eggs from the
feed that Is given to her. The number
Of eggs she will lay depends upon the
kind and amount Of feed she receives.
She cannot maintain her body and
manufacture large number of eggs
from feeds which do not contain the
proper kind and amount Of nutrients.

PLAN FOR REPAIRING
DEFECTS OF CROTCH

Many apple trees are ruined because
Of weak crotches which give way with
the first heavy fruit crops. Fruit
growers interested In this subject
should read Bulletin 40 of the Cor
nell agricultural experiment station,
Ithaca, N. Y. entitled. "The Apple
Tree Crotch" by l.. ii. MacDanlels.
The summary Of this bulletin will be
Of interest to our readers mt this time. :.
The strength Of apple-trec crotches
varies directly with the width of the
angle between the crotch arms, other
factors being equal Crotches with
equal arms split much more easily
than those with arms Of unequal size,
other factors being equal. More than
two scaffold limbs coming from the
trunk at nearly the same point may
produce weak union because the
crowded condition prevents the wood
OF the main trunk from supporting the
side branches. The wood of one
branch merely lies adjacent to that OF
the branches on either side instead of
being embedded In the main trunk.
~ AN"i uSe Ut WHICH CTOtCIleS
break Is Just us the tree Is coming
into heavy bearing. The crotches of
older trees tend to become strong due
to IN equalization of growth and the
consequent firm knitting OF the crotch
tissue.
Most defects of crotch structure cnn
be remedied or prevented by pruning
while the tree is young. With older
trees. bracing is advisable, and in case
Of winter injury to the crotches, this
treatment Is necessary II the trees are
TO be saved. Histologically, crotch
tissue differs from the normal in hav-
Ing more parenchyma, larger medul-
larry rays. and fewer wood fbers and
vessels. All of these tissues are very
much distorted in their arrangement
as compared with the normal tissue,
a distortion found also In the cam
blum itself. There is more or less
definite line Of cleavage where the
tissues Of the two branches of n
crotch lie adjacent. The lines of con-
duction for the two limbs of crotch
are separate and distinct. Tissues of
both the bark and the wood of a
crotch have, by analysis. higher
nitrogen content.

Incorrect Pruning Is of
Little Value to Orchard

With quality" being demanded
more and more by the Eastern mar
kets, the careful pruning OF bearing
apple trees becomes problem Of
prime Importance to New Jersey
growers.
Incorrect pruning. however, Is Of
little value and even may be disas-
trous," says A. F. Mason, fruit spe-
cialist at the New Jersey State Col
lege OF Agriculture.
IN pruning, this point should be
stressed; the response to pruning
cut is greatest at that part of the
limb Immediately adjoining the cut.
Bulk pruning-the removal Of large
amounts Of wood by cutting Off few
large limbs-will not accomplish the
desired result. The thinning out OF
the fine wood one-half inch and less In
diameter. Is essential. Select first for
removal those twigs and small
branches which grow from the top Of
limb and will bend along 1t, and
those which grow from below and
hang directly beneath 1t. II the brush
is still too thick some Of the lateral
branches should be taken out. A few
large branches may also need remov
Ing. but there should be only few OF
these. Next, the dead wood and cross
ing branches should be eliminated.
Pruning should be started now
The old adage might well be revised
to read. Early begun Is half DONE"

Brood sows have been observed to

Such system has many distinct ad-
