Pregnant, Nursing
Ewes Should Be
Very Well Fed

Now that ewes are with young,
it is important for the sheep
farmer to pay attention to the
flock's diet, reports Professor
Don Bell of the Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station.
The question arises as to how
much grain is needed by a preg-
nant or nursing eve for best per-
formance. Research conducted
the last two winter feeding sea-
sons at the Ohio Station is help
ing out here.
Three lots Of Columbia ewes
were fed for a 20-week period
on a basal ration of four pounds
of legume-grass silage and as
much legume haf as they would
eat. During the last seven or
eight weeks of pregnancy, the
lots received either one-half
pound, one pound, or one and a
half pounds of grain mix consist
ing of two parts oats and one
part corn by weight During the
nursing period these amounts
were doubled, to one, two and
three pounds of grain mix for the
different lots.
The highest number of fast
gaining lambs was from lots fed
heavy grain and the lowest num-
ber was from lots fed the least
grain. These differences, which
were small but consistent, could
be noticed at 10, 30, and 120 days
of age. Bell says the milk supply
from ewes fed the light grain
is not quite adequate for best
lamb performance.
Although the heavy grain al
loWance was superior in some
ways, this would be too expen-
sive except in cases where a
grower was in hurry to get his
lambs to market to gain a pre-
MUM under spring lamb prices.
From these tests, 1t appears
that for large ewes a grain ra-
ton consisting of three-fourths
to one pound per eve per day
prior to lambing and from one
and one-half pound to two
pounds after lambing is best for
maximum performance.

Spruce OO%), miscellaneous
pines, spruces, and frs about
20%. The pines Oong-needled
trees) will retain their needles
much longer than the spruces
(short-needled) and for this rea-
son are the most popular seller.
Most buyers of Christmas trees
like symmetrical, not too dense
tree, about six feet tall, with
branches uniformly spaced SO
that decorating is easier and
more attractive.
No matter what kind of tree
is chosen, it is desirable to put
the tree in a holder with a water
container and keep the container
filled. The first "a hours the tree
will usually consume a lot of wat
er, and the container should be
refilled several times. A large
tree will consume from a pint
to a quart of water in the first
"a hours. This rate will slow
down until by the end of the
first week it will use very little
water. The importance of this
water is to keep the needles
fresth and moist and this will
considerably reduce the fire
hazard.
A formula used by several in
stitutions to make trees even
more fire resistant is a solution
of "a pounds Of boric acid pow
der, ll5 pound plain borax and
gallon water. Spray this solution
over the tree thoroughly and lei
it dry before taking the tree
indoors.

Warning Issued To
Farmers On -Four
Livestock Diseases

OhlO'S animal industry division
served a special warning to farm
ers today, urging them to guard
their, livestock against a group
of diseases that prevent animals
from reproducing.
Division Chief DR.. Harry G..
Geyer reminded that disorders
spread more quickly among cat
tie that are huddled closely in
farm building than among those
living out in the open. In winter
months most farmers house tn air
stock in barns with a good chance
of brucellosis and other birth
preventing sicknesses passing
from animal to animal, Geyer
said.
He said the state is cooperat-
ing in the December drive by
the American Foundation for
Animal Health to wipe out the
four diseases that cost y. S.
farmers about 100 million dollars
a year.
They are brucellosis, tricho-
moniasis, vibriosis, and lepto-
spirosis.
Cows infected with these
diseases are likely to abort late
in pregnancy, become sterile, Or
perhaps pass them on to animals
of other breeds and types.
VibriosiS and trichomoniasiS
are both venereal diseases. They
are not particularly serious in
Ohio, since most cattle are artifi-
cally fertilized, Geyer said.
''Lepto" is disorder first dis
covered in Ohio in 1851. 1t often
reaches the animals kidneys and
spreads its germs through their
wastes. 1t too causes cows, pigs
and sheep to abort and can be
spread among different species.

In many German homes a
christmas calendar" makes its
appearance early in December.
Often the calendar is in the
shape of a house, and a win
dow" is opened each day as
Christmas nears.
Christmas comes twice a year
to luckier children in Germany.
Switzerland, Belgium and Hol-
land. On St. Nicholas Day, Dec.
6, good children received candy,
nuts, oranges and some toys. The
bad ones, supposedly, are put into
st. Nick's sack and spirited away.
If the family can afford It,,
toys and candy are distributed
again on Dec. 25, perhaps tucked
in shoe placed under win
dow or near the fireplace. This
custom dates only from World
War IL and was introduced by
American GTs.
In rural areas of Germany a
family might observe the old
custom of keeping hearth fires
burning through II nights from
Christmas until Jan. s, the Epl-
phany or Twelfthnight.
Jan. 6 is the traditional day
for "Belfana," the good witch, to
bring presents to children IN
Italy. In Spain, children find on
the same morning that Los
Reyes Magos," the Three Kings,
have left gifts in their shoes.
The Portuguese equivalent OF
Santa Claus is "Pai Natal" or
Father Christmas, but he is re-
garded only as an agent for
''Menino Jesus" the child Jesus,
who is actually responsible for
Christmas gifts.
Yuletide is a great occasion
for family reunions IN Portugal.
Relatives from far-off provinces
gather at the home Of a senior
member of the family for the
holiday. Here, even groWn-ups
use a shoe by the fireplace as
the receptacle for gifts.
In Communist East Germany,
gifts are exchanged in the
Christmas manner although the
occasion is officially only mid
winter holiday. School children
enjoy winter vacations" and
winter book fairs" have re-
placed the traditional Christmas
fairs.

Timber Sold
For $4,000

Mature timber on $50 acres of
the Wayne National Forest in
Washington and Monroe counties
has been sold to Donald Morris,
owner of a saWmill at Macksburg,
for approximately $4,000.
The sale marks the first time
that Wayne Forest timber from
Washington county has been sold,
although similar sales are fairly
frequent in the Athens county
area, according to Ray Knudsen,
forest ranger at Athens.
Located on three parcels of
land at Deucher, Jackson Run
and Mechanicsburg, the timber is
estimated to have a total volume
of 100000 board feet. The 4,379
trees, including oaks, tulip pop
lars, other mixed hardwoods and
pines, are mature trees with a
poor anticipated growth poten-
tial.
twenty-five per cent of the
money realized from the sale will
be distributed proportionally to
all counties in which the forest
is located. The remainder will be
turned over to the federal gov
ernment.
