Feeding Sheep Economically. §-â€"-â€"â€"__.____â€"â€"â€"â€"==Q Handling sheep and lambs the last two or three years has been easy money ‘ to almost every one that has touched them, and the profit in the business has been sufficient temptation to getg :some men back into the business who 3 “do not have a strong personal pre-l dilection for the animals. Any such who do go into raising or 1 feeding sheep or lambs are apt to not »‘take much note of the ways of animals Iabout their eating and may conse- .quently allow them to waste a good ,dcal of grain. All who are familiar l with sheep know that though they eat .almost anything that is green and :clean, they will not eat dirty things, especially grain or forage that has been contaminated with their own .filth. Consequently it is a matter of importance to provide troughs for .grain and racks for roughage, into ‘Which they cannot climb and stand or tevcn put their feet at all. Probably the best way to make: ,troughs for grain is to build them“ ,alongside and close up to a board ffence or wall of a building, says a ..'writer in Farm Progress. If this is idone and the trough, even though flat , Fbottomed, is not very wide the sheep! .will not be able to jump up into it and Istand in it. This would be the plan :for a single trough, and the sheep could intand only on one side. But troughs may be made fiat bot- itomed and wide enough to divide by a ’ lboard partition running along the'midâ€" FEED BUNK FOB MUDDY 1.019.

' If gravel is not obtainable and there is no other way to provide for solid standing room around the feed racks. and troughs the best thing is to build a. board platform on good substantial sills of some wood that does not rot easily.

What Some Holsteiners Say. “When in doubt put on a herd of Holstein-Friesians. They will do the rest,” remarks an enthusiast. - Eight months old and weighing 832 pounds is the record of a Holstein calf owned by Abner Van Hoos’er of Port Byron, N. Y., says Holstein-Frieslan Register. No other dairy cow can dig so good a profit out of average condi- tions as can the. Holstein. filler vigor- ous constitution, great staying quali- ties and capacity for ‘turning rough- age into dairy products eminently fit her for average conditionsâ€"W. 0. Huntington. ‘ It is well saidfilmre are three impor- tant factors leading to a great record of a cowâ€"first, the man; second, the cow; third, the feed. We are not sure but it may be safely said that the man is the greatest factor of the three, says _ Maine Farmer. ; , Hitch High. Let the average man keep average cows and make the average products and profits. Better hitch your wagon to a higher star. , Are You In the Wood" i No, you can’t afford to run a dairy without knowing where you’re at, and you are probably in the woods if you don’t weigh the feed and milk occa- sionally. Do it. It’s interesting and ‘ well worth whileâ€"A. J. McGuire. i For Sight Needed. l The dairy farmer must be a far- sighted man. The calves of today are the milkers of tomorrow. If these milkers are going to be up to par, spe- cial attention must be given to their breeding and care, remarks Kimball's 19am: Fame; n. “no..- 7 "In-v 92': MOLE RAISING. ‘i'r‘ The Food Box -ll'|d Good Blood Go Hgnd in Hand. By GEORGE M. ROMMEL'. In breeding'mules the first point is to see that the mule’s sire is a large jack, recorded in the American jack stock stud book. He should stand 15.2» hands or even 16 hands high and should weigh up to 1,100 or 1,200 pounds. He should have a large, strong body and heavy bone. Weight and bone are cardinal points in a jack. If mares sired by light stallions-stand- ard breds, coachers, etcâ€"are bred to such a jack, mules of good quality and fair weight may be expected. It the mares are by good standard bred and die or thoroughbred stallions, the mules will be very active and will possess much quality and finish. If these mares have good weight, say 1,100 or 1,200 pounds, thismating will produce the finest sugar mules. If somewhat smaller, good cotton mules will result. If draft bred mares are used, the mules will of course be heavier. Such mules are the draftmules of the market and are in strong demand for city use. They have more weight than sugar mules, but not quite so much quality. For small, indifferent 800 pound mares . without breeding nothing better can be expected than the production of in- ferior cotton mules or pit and pack mules. It is useless to try to breed good mules from poor mares. There will probably always be more demand in the south for mules than for work horses which ’can be supplied by local- ly raised animals, but it is necessary first to havea‘supply of good, useful farm brood mares. It is doubtful if any jack is good .enoiigh to. sire a good ' mule from a small, coarse, plug mare. Big Factor In a Record. In conclusion let it“ be said most em- phatically that it is a waste of time and money to try to breed horses, mules or any other kind of live stock without feed.‘ It is all right to let ani- mals rustle and find their feed, but cnom ohm mm.

Exercise is splendid for the develop- ment of bone, muscle and constitution, , but it must be supplemented with plenty to eat: A farm animal (horses and mules are no exception) makes its greatest growth when it is young, and it makes it at the least cost. It is a straight business proposition . “:1.- ».-._. , a . .-.._~-r‘~»;n;:a. 43.9 M.

Let the colts learn to eat a little grain before they are weaned, f and keep this up when pasturage is poor. Let them run in the fields through the winterâ€"the exercise is good for themâ€"and bring them up at night and give them a feed. Do not think that because a colt eats cotton stalks and dried cornstalks he enjoys it. He may eat them because he has to. Nothing responds to feed like a colt, and, conversely, nothing responds more quickly to its absence. Stunt the colt after weaning, refuse to feed him, and you have a stunted horse or mule, un- dersized at maturity. The feed box and good blood go hand in hand, the one supplementing the other. It is a hopeless, cheerless, profitless proposi‘ tion to separate them. W corosr a» HOG HOUSES._ m0 At farrowing time the sow needs to have a warm, comfortable and well lighted house by herself. This house needs to have a railing on the inside about nine inches from the floor and extending out from the sides about twelve inches for the protection of the young pigs. This railing is best made of two 2 by 4’5 with two inch space between them and also the wall. It is desirable to have small yards connect- ed with the houses to give the sows . before tarmwing and the sow and pigs after farmwing moderate exercise. A form of house in use in the central west is shown in the cuts. These If}?!

The floor is made of two inch planks. These houses are placed on runners. As seen in the first cut, the houses are located in an alfalfa pasture and are raised sufficiently to allow the hogs to run under them for shade. In this case the houses proper are used for the storage of feed. Being on run- ners, they are easily handled by a. team and can be placed on any part of the farm. When desired, they make excellent chicken houses. In cold weather they can be placed under an open shed or in a protected place and be very warm. The yards are best made in movable sections. The lumber required is nine pieces 1 by 4 inches by 12 feet (see sec‘ ond cut). These houses have proved their' merit, especially for early spring and late fall pigs. They soon pay for them- selves by the increased number of pigs saved through their use. Advantages of Portable House. The advantages of the portable hog house may be enumerated as follows: It is easily and economically constructâ€" ed; it is readily moved to any desired location;‘it is useful alike to the gen- eral farmer and the breeder of fine‘ stock; it is the most natural and sani- tary of all methods of housing swine. Only the simplest workmanship is re- quired to construct it, and much odd lumber may be utilized. The renter who finds it impossible to provide ex- pensive quarters for his hogs can well afford to build portable houses, as they can be retained as personal property. Where separate paddocks are given to swine of various ages and sex port- able houses are practically a necessity. By using a house 'which can be moved to a fresh piece of ground insanitary conditions are avoided. From four to six mature animals or from ten to twenty shoats are accommodated by- each house. The swine are thus kept HOG HOUSES WITH YARDS. cleaner and more thrifty than when V allowed to gather in large numbers.
