FLUSHING EWES TO
INCREASE LAMBS

Those who have ewes to breed this
fall may well be thinking about get
ting them In good physical condition
before the mating time arrives 1t u
a well-known fact that when ewes are
In gaining condition at the time Of
breeding that the lamb crop viii not
only be larger. but the individual
lambs will also be stronger and
healthier. Putting ewes In a gaining
condition Is spoken Of ~ flushing"
them
Some years ago the United States
Department Of Agriculture carried on
a number Of tests with flushing ewes
Just tefore the breeding season and
came to the conclusion, after six year,
Of experimentation, that flushing In,
creases the lamb crop about % per
cent The Kansas experiment station
calls attention to lambs II has secured
In tests with IL groups Of ewes The
ewes that were not fed grain during
the breeding season gained about II
pounds per head and had a lamb crop
Of 119 per cent, whereas those that
received one-hak pound Of grain a
day prior to breeding gained 8 pounds
per head and had lamb crop of 147
per cent In other words, on that basis
every hundred ewes that were flushed
produced % more lambs than those
that were not literally fed prior TO
breeding. II isn't so important that
ration Of a definite composition be
fed. Any good feed that viii cause
the ewes to gain IN flesh VIII turn the
trick A good bluegrass or alfalfa pas
ture without grain Is all right
A very good grain ration, however.
Is composed of one-third part by
weight Of corn, oats and bran One
half corn and one-half oats VIII also
make a good ration or oats alone VIII
do very well indeed Nor should q
great deal Of grain be fed One-half
pound per day per head Is usually
enough, although ewes that are In a
rundown condition VIII do better II
fed as much as three-fourths OF a
pound per head per day for period
of IA to IS days before breeding
There are other advantages In flush
ing the eve flock aside from getting
q larger and stronger crop Of lambs
Flushing tends to cause the ewes to
come In heat Thus the flock can be
bred In less time and the lambs viii
come within a range of about two
weeks of each other. A short lamb
ing season In the spring Is preferable
to a long season because 1t lessons

Besides, as the lambs grow up they

In one flock They Will also be ready
for the market at the same time and
practically all Will be uniform rs to
weight when sold These are faction

UTAH SURVEY IS
NOW UNDER WAY
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND ACRES
OF UTAH LAND TO BE SUR
vEYED THIS YEAR
Thirteen Crews Are Now In F'eIo
Surveying Lands That They May
Be Further Opened Up And
Developed

Salt Lake City.-Of 500, 900 acres OF
public lands which will be surveyed
in Utah before the close OF the sum
mer season, approximately 10000
acres of Industrial lands VIII be made
ready for the quicker Development OF
coal, oil, shale. potash and grazing,
according to G. D. Kirkpatrick, dis
trfct cadastral engineer In charge Tor
Utah and Nevada, operating under
the surveying service OF the general
land office with headquarters in Salt
Lake. By segregation and definite
determination, these lands viii be
available Immediately for many oper-
atoms already proposed and on foot
There are four crews now in the
field in Nevada and nine in Utah In
this state parties are surveying coal
lands near Helper in Carbon county
oil lands in San Juan, shale lands in
Grand county, potash lands along the
western border near Wendoyer and
grazing lands in various localities
The total that Will probably be sur
veyed for the year in both states viii
be $50, 900 acres
The general conditions of the sur
vey is better than it has been for sew
eral years, Mr.. Kirkpatrick said The
department is only $1,000 acres be
hind the demand for surveys, where
as four years ago it was more than
1000, 900 acres behind
Another benefit that is being de
rived from present catching up with
the work is an increase in state rev
enue, following the designation OF
four sections of school land in each
township surveyed, permitting the
state to dispose of and trade in these
lands for development purposes
