Wing has advised as Trollows in his book on sheep farming Fin America: .- 'There must be provided a small room for pen in which the lambs can go and ‘the ewes cannot. This place must be -of very convenient access, so that it is 3really easier for the lamb to go in than '-to remain outside. This is because élambs have fleeting memories and are largely the creatures of opportunity. ".They will consume much more feed ‘,when it is right at their months than if they have to go even a few rods to seek it. This place, which we call a “creep,” must be in a light part of the ‘barn, and if the sun can shine in all fthe better, for lambs are attracted by :sunlight and greatly benefited by it. This creep need not be very large. llf it is twelve feet square it will ac- «commodate fifty lambs very nicely, as ‘they Will not all be in it at one time. It should be separated from the ewes' part of the barn by a fence of vertical rslats spaced about seven inches apart.' the slats with rounded edges. This .will permit the lambs to pass in and restrain the ewes. After a time the Zlambs will need some wider openings, rind then if small rollers are put up to :permit them to squeeze between all jvthe better.

A Practical Kansas Farmer Tells How He Does It. 'At one of the meetings during the :last “farmers' week” at the Kansas State Agricultural college Dr. J. T. Ax- :tell made a talk of special interest in tregard to difierent ways of feeding :aifalfa. Alfalfa, according to Dr. Axiell. con- tains from eleven to sixteen and one- if ‘ 'rhalf parts protein and forty parts car- zbohydrates, while corn ranges about one-half that amount of protein and one-third that amount of carbohy- :drates. You will see there. he says. that it requires considerably more corn to af- ford an animal the same amount of protein that he would get from a given quantity of alfalfa meal. Now, we .have found that an animal (horse or row) needs about two and one-half pounds of protein and twelve and one- half pounds of carbohydrates per day. Alfalfa is wasted feeding as hay. and the meal is too rich as a single tfeed, so we mix pound for pound of alfalfa meal'and ground corn. and in a twenty-five pound feed we have the re- quired amount of both protein and carbohydrates. When we were feeding alfalfa as hay We found that the average amount eaten by each horse per day was from sixty to eighty pounds. They are now: allowed fifteen pounds of alfalfa meal per day and are doing as well on the heavy hay feed. For Cows and Swine. A cow giving a good flow of milk gets an average feed of about six or seven and one-ball.“ pounds of alfalfa meal and one-half to three-fourths gal- lons of ground corn, while our driving .w u horses get a ration mixed with three" pounds of alfalfa meal and two pounds of ground corn three times per day. with one feed a day of about five, pounds of prairie hay. Our ration for swine is mixed with a bit more of corn in the proportion than in the ration for horse or cow. 1 don't believe any of you have stock doing better than mine, and i know you are not feeding as cheaply as 1 am. y, f' .

Powles’ Corners. _ (Corrrspoudence ,nfthe Gazette.) Mr. Wilbert Glaspell has leased Mr. W. A. Gillis's farmior a term of five years, with the privilege of giving it up at the expiration of three years, if he decide to do so. Mr. Gillis will reside in part of the house for one year. Pasture lands are drying up, and, to make things worse, the grasshoppers are coming in millions, and there is less for them to feed upon than there was last year; so we would advise those who have a large stock if cattle and horses to get rid of part of them. A farmer who cannot keep his milch cows oil the road ought to dispose of them, and not allow them to annoy his rcighbors.
