Breeding Ewes Require
Exercise During Winter

One very important factor in win
terng breeding ewes is to see THAI
they get plenty of exercise. Lack OF
exercise is one of the causes of weak
lambs. When it can be arranged, 1T
least part of the roughage should
be fed in the field at some distance
from the barns or the shed and the
ewes should be out every day that the
weather is fair In fact, for best re-
suits, the eve should have the equiya-
.ent of at least a mile of exercise each
day.
In sheltering ewes, protect them
from cold rains and driving storms,
Many people make the mistake of not
housing their ewes until they have be-
come wet or until practically all dam
age has been done. Low tempera-
ture in the barn or shed is not serious
so long as the sheep are dry under
foot and over head. Have ventilation
without strong drafts. Danger lies
in having a barn too warm and damp.

Simple Laying Rations
Give Good Egg Results

Inst ms good results can be obtained
with a simple mash containing three
or four ground grains and meat scrap
MS from highly complicated mash
containing ten or twelve products, say
government poultry feeders. Goon
production and profitable returns from
iavinr hens are the result of proper
" balanced rations.
Some simple mixtures of nome
crown grains supplemented win
mont scraps or milk are: one part
onts and two parts cracked corn for
scratch feed; the mash I" CONSIST
of three parts cornmeal and one part
meat scrap. A fair amount OF green
feed should go with the above com
binations.
About G.7 pounds of feed are re-
cufrrd to produce a dozen eggs with
rcneral-purpose pullcts, while egg
r,yinr breeds require about is p"unds'

Docking of Lambs Great
Help at Time of Selling

Farmers who are engaged in the
sheep industry often forget to dock
and castrate their lambs. Live stock
commission men and packers are
staunch supporters of caStration and
docking of lambs for market purposes
and pay more for animals which have
received this attention.
"Castration Of lambs is simple OPP
Grafton ard If performed at the proper
time the lamb does not mind it and
there is little risk attached" says Prof
Phil. A. Anderson, animal husbandry
man at University farm at st. Paul,
MINI. THE operation should be done
when the lamb Is ten days to two
weeks old; older lambs can be un-
sexed but with more risk. Use any
good disinfectant, having hands and
knife clean. The lower one-third of
the scrOtum is removed and the tes-
ticles forced out. The spermatic cord
should be drawn out with the fingers
and cut Off with knife in a scraping
manner in order to prevent excessive
bleeding After the operation is com
pIeted, apply a disinfectant. If blow
flies are abundant. apply Il little clean
pine tar.
Lambs that have not been docked
present a poor appearance when mar
keted, but the main reason for dock
ing is that lambs on summer pasture
often scour. Such conditions invite the
blOw-ny and maggOtS and often the
lamb is lost"

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Earning Power of Pure
Bred Higher Than Scrub

Based on utility alone-apart from
breeding or sales value-pure bred live
STOCK has an earning power from
third to one-half greater than scrub
stock. The average superiority of pure
breds over scrubs for all classes Of
farm animals is about 40 per cent.
Or the principal points in which
pure breds excel other stock, the most
prominent are: Superiority and uni
fCrmity in conformation and type,
greater sale value. early maturity. and
economy in the conversion of feed into
meat, milk, wool, and work
Surplus pure breds are readily sal
able at satisfactory prices in the ma
JOrity of cases; but much depends on
the breeding and production records
and the business ability of the breeder
With rare exceptions pure bred sire
users are satisfied with the quality
oil the offspring obtained, except that
the desire is created in many cases
TO improve the quality still further.
The progeny of pure bred sres has
practically so per cent greater sale
value than the progeny of sires not
pure bred.
Pure bred sires of good quality are
readily obtainable in the experience of
three-fOurths of the breeders report
ing. The principal difficulties are:
Paying the price and finding the de-
sirable type, but there is practically
unanimous agreement that the results
Justify the cost.
The average increase in financial
