All depends upon 'the kind of hay or other roughage | used. Coarse-stemmed hays like , timothy, red top and blue-grass have very few leaves and therefore are poor sheep feeds. Timothy is un- palatable, causes constipation, and the dry timothy heads work into the wool, causing irritation to the skin, lessen- ing the value of the clip and making shearing difficult. When timothy or other coarse-stemmed hay is fed to sheep in winter quarters, supplement- garden has proved that the expendi-} ary protein feed is needed.

The ends are en- closed with substantially made panels of the same fencing, which allows of their easy removal for plowing and cultivating. There is no longer worry and dam- age from our own poultry, stock, or dogs, or those of our neighbors, and the permanent support for vining plants furnished by the fence is worth the effort of fencing im itself.

A shed opening to the south, built in the corral, protects sheep from cold rains. This equipment, including fence and shed for 100 mature sheep. costs about $125. It affords dog pro- 'tection, simplifies the breeding of ewes, the feeding of grain, the wean- ing of lambs, and safeguards against exposure to severe weather and, if 'well drained, provides dry quarters. | { HIGHEST PRICES PAID For POULTRY, GA o FaktHane Please ie ig particulars.
