LANDING HINTS

From the monthly News Letter of the
Maryland Sheep Growers Association,
we submit the following:
We are now in the midst OF the lamb
ing season in some parts OF Maryland.
Take care that lambs are provided with
warm quarters for the first few days Of
their lives. 1t is good plan to visit the
sheep shed two or three times during the
night while lambs are coming.
Ewes that are weak after lambing may
be revived by four or FIVE drops OF Nux
Vomica given three times day. This
medicine is powerful poison and must
be used with care. . II is procurable at
any drug store. Ewes should not re-
ceive their normal ration for several
days after lambing. Get them back on
regular feed again when the lamb is
about ten days old. For best results
lambs should have access to creeps which
may be easily and quickly made. Make
a trough into which the lambs cannot get
their feet, or lie down, and keep little
bran or ground corn before them at all
times until they get used to eating it,
then shelled corn may be added and the
bran gradually replaced with linseed oil
meal until the lambs are finally getting
a ration consisting Of about four parts
of corn and one part OF oil meal.
This ration is for fattening lambs.
Those lambs intended to be grown out
for breeding purposes should have half
Of this corn replaced with bran OF oats,
making a ration, for example, consist
ing OF two parts OF corn, two parts of
oats and one part OF linseed oil meal.
For best results the oats should be
ground or crushed and the corn also
ground until the lambs are three or four
weeks of age.
1t must be borne in mind that buyers
are not attracted by lambs unless they
are fat, especially is this true of the
lambs to be marketed at light weights.
All lambs should be locked when they
are about two weeks OF age. Ram lambs
not intended for breeding purposes
by all means, be castrated at the
same time,
At this time of year many ewes,
the old ones, begin losing some
Of their wool. This may be due to
rubbing, which is caused by lice or ticks,
or it may be due simply to old age We
have no evidence to prove that ewes will
lose their wool on account OF feeding
corn or other common feeds. Lambs are
made good both by direct feeding and by
indirect feeding through their mothers.
1t is, therefore, wise to feed ewes
well during the lactation
period. after the lambs are ten days old.
Winter rye pasture and couple OF
pounds of siiage per eve per day helps
10 maintain the milk flow. Both lambs
and ewes in this season Of year should
nave free access to good clover or alfalfa
Or soybean hay.

NOW HAS EIGHT MODELS

The Chevrolet Motor Co. has started
the year 1926 with the most complete
line OF cars in its history. The COM
pany now produces four closed models
two open cars and two trucks.
In addition to the new landau, the Chew
rolet closed line now includes a coupe,
coach and sedan. All have bodies by
Fisher.
Striking new colors in Duco render
the group OF closed models more attrac-
tive. The coupe and landau are finished
in the new Arizona gray Duco, with IN
terror decorations and velour upholstery
to match. The gray of the hood, body
panels and disc wheels on the landau is
set off against the black of the tenders
and upper body by gold stripping. The
rear quarter, carrying the landau bars
and windows. is leather covered.
The new finish Of the coach is Bloom
field gray, while the sedan is in rich
Algerian blue.
Rear-seat footrests are provided in the
sedan and landau sedan. The front seat
OF the sedan has been given a slight ad-
ditional tilt which affords greater com,
fort to front-seat passengers and increased
leg room to those in the rear seat.
Complete equipment is carried on the
closed line, including the wv one-piece
yentilating windshield, parking lamps, sun
visor automatic windshield wiper, dome
light, silk roller shades and Ternstedt mt
tings.

on the two popular open models, the tour
ing and roadster. The rear compartment
Of the roadster body has been altered to
permit greatly increased luggage capac-
ity. The compartment cover opens at the
level of the car floor. The cover is re-
movable to permit substitution OF light

Things You ShouldsK Know
BREAD

In the face Of the fact that bread
is best for human nourishment, our
ingenious cooks seem to revel in an
orgy Of invention, to pervert, SO
far as humanity possible, the "staff
OF life" in its divine mission, by
adding to It every foreign ingre-
dent they can think of.
Sugar added to bread mixtures
is, perhaps, one of the greatest a.
buses; it renders the loaf moro
tempting to appetites that are too
often depraved at the start-in-
ducing the eater to take entirely
too much Of the combination. Too
great variety in bread-stuffs is
damaging for the same reason. I
once ate q reunion dinner In Call
Hornia; there were five kinds of
bread on the table. To not partake
of each kind was to blunder unpar-
donably before the amiable hostess.
The American appetite is contin-
ually calling-it may be reckoned
as one hundred per cent efficient:
1t needs no stimulation by the many
seasonings and compliments with
In too easy reach of our culinary
artists. I believe one-half of our
serious diseases could be gotten rid
OF, by enforcing rigidly plain diet
at all times. Let US commercialize
our stocks, bonds, industries and
real-estate, but our food, neveri I
do not believe in the offering of
prizes for the most highly-seasoned
can, carton or dish.

growing right along with the IN
