E (Prepared by the United States ment of Agriculture.) By using the right kind of hay fa- stead of grain, sheep can be wintered succesfully and much grain saved for other purposes. Sheep require less concentrated feed during the winter than other live stock. If they are in good condition st the beginning ef the' winter and if lambs sre not ex- pected before the spring pastures come ot grainless ration is to be ad- Legume hays stand at the forefrent as a roughage for sheep. No ather roughages approach them im feeding values. The coarse-stemmed hays, ' Hke timothy, red top and blue grass have very few leaves and therefore are poor sheep feeds. Hays baving '| a large amdint of timothy in them also are undesirable. Not enly is time- thy unpalatable to the sheep, but it causes serious cases of constipation. 'lessening the value of the clip and making shearing difficult. When tim- othy or other coarse-st 'Hay is fed to sheep In winter quarters it be- comes necessary to use some supple- mentary feed to keep the sheep in con- dition, . If any nonlegume hay is fed, sup- plementary protein feed Is needed. Lin- seed meal Is good since In addition to furnishing protein it counteracts the constipating effect of timothy hay. From one-quarter to one-half pound of linseed meal per ewe dally should be used, depe condition of the feed used. i itl ii ! 1 g For Your Flower Pots. Why not use Chinese mats?

Prices received by farmers for ment { animals ghowed an increase of 52.7 | per cent in a year, according to the latest report to the U. S. department of agriculture. The report for cattle, sheep, and hogs is for the year ending September 15, and for chickens, Oc- toher 1. The advance for beef cattle per 100 pounds, live weight, was from $8.55 {o | $8.40, or 28 per cent; for veal ealves | per 100 pounds, from $8.77 to $11.08, | or 26 per cent: sheep per 100 pounds from $6.25 to $10.05, or lambs per 100 pounds; from $822 to $13.06. or 59 per cent: hogs per 100 pounds, from £6.22 to $15.60, or 7) per cent, and chickéns, from 14.3 to 18.1 cents per pound, or 27 per cent.

The highest price at the farm per 100 pounds, live weight. reached dur- Ing the year under rev! was $8.70 for beef cattle in May. $11.08 for veal calves In last September, $10.15 for sheep In May, $13.00 for lambs in last | September, $15.69 for hogs in September, and 18.1 cents per pound for ehickens October 1 of this yenr. | The latest farm piice reported is the highest one of thé year for veal calves, lambs, hogs, and chickens; the May price was the highest for beef cattle and sheep. IMPORTANT EFFECT OF WAR | 3 mene 3 Demand for Horses Has Not Been So Far-Reaching as Great Many Be. lieved, Says Expert. 1 oy lasi That the effect of the war on the demand for horses has been important hut not so, far-reaching as many per- sons have been led to helieve, is the opinion of Dr. C. W. MeCampbell, as- sociate professor of animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. "Since the beginning of the war ap- | proximately 1,000,000 horses have been i exported from the United States," said |. Doctor McCampbell. "This is a large { number when considered in the aggre- wate. but when compared with the total Percheron Stallion at Beltsville Farm. horse population tt has not been par ticalarly large--21 per cent of the whole or one out of every forty horses. "The United States government has not made heavy purchases to date and the jatest information from the guar- termaster general's office states that only horses from six to te rs oid weighing from 850 to 1.350 pounds are being purchased. 3 + "The British demand 'neater, smoother, better-made, hetter-gaited, and sounder Jiirse than the French and have heen willing to pay more for thoin { horses. Most of the horses taken hove | weighed less than 1,400 pounds--a type | for which there is very little commor- | cial demand. Marketmen express 'he i opinion that this class of harses would be selling for $50 per hend less were it not for thie war demand.™ PREVENT DISEASES ON FARM Loss of Young Animals Con Be Re. duced by Cleaning Out Stable and Disinfocting. & . _ % { A good job for the first rainy day.

Word is being sent to the farmers of Minnesota to take special pains in 'drying and storing their seed corn this fall. C, P. Bull, university farm, St. Paul, secretary of the state commit- tee of food production and conserva- tion, says: > "The amount of moisture to be re- moved from the corn this fall is larger than usual. A; well ventilated room with artificial heat, if needed, should be provided for curing. Care should be taken, however, not to dry the corn too rapidly. the drying room should be kept some- where between 60 and 70 degrees. The cars should be hung up by the double string method or should be put on hangers or trees; it ghould not be dumped in a pile in a bin. "A double allowance, if it can bé had, should be saved, in order te ad- mit of a more rigid selection next spring. "The present indications are that there will be a good demand for seed corn." LAYING HENS REQUIRE LIME Shell Forming Material Necessary in Egg Production--Oyster Shell Most Suitable. Lime for shell-forming material is necessary in egg production. Some idea of the extent of the need is ob- tained from the fact that an average flock of 150 hens: will produce 137 The grains fed supply a portion of this lime, but the supply is too small in proportion to the number of eggs a hen should be able to produce, Oyster shell is most suitable for shell makidz. Old pilaster may be used as a substitute. Egg shell may be saved, broken up fine and fed. Dry bones may he broker up and fed. The babit of egg eating often is caused by a lack of sheli-forming food. i] k FEED AND WATER FOR COWS Attention Should Be Given to Taste and Needs of Each Individual in Dairy Herd. Do net feed the dairy herd as a lierd, fog cows differ in their food re- quirements just as human beings) do. By feeding ail cows in the hord alike, some fre sure rot to fet enough to the: greatést profit and others will get more thin they can use to advantage. Cows need much water and should be induced to drink two or three times a day if possible. The average milk cow requires nearly 10 gallons of water a day and more than two-thirds of that must come as drink and the balance from water in the feed.
