I ? / r , J \ ^ f . There are Instances on record where sheep have produced profitable fleeces of wool and. onff or two lambs cach season for from four to ten yoars, tut as a general rule when a ewe gets to he flvo years of age she Is very likely to prove unprofitable. Anyone who has had any experience with nursing brood sows knows that *hlle nursing their young pig. they naturally lose In weight and cori^ dltlon even with the beBt care, and feeding bestowed them. a It is generally appreciated among i flftsk ^wniftrs that In order to obtain the most profit from sheep husbandry stock must kepJt that will produce a maximum quality and quantity of both wool and mutton. J Pumpkins make a splendid feed, and how cheap they are! Nothing will ? fatten shoats quicker, in connection with a bit of eoft corn, and nothing will so thoroughly and efficaciously rid them of worms. * !

Remove the cause and this will help greatly to prevent tho result. Alfalfa is making good In the oast, and farmers are realizing that it Is comparatively ^pasy to get ? stand, by the use of lime and plenty of stable manure. This Is ideal pasture for swine and'no harm will bo dono the crop if pastured lightly. To rend about the caro of fowls In detail makes It reem quite a lot of work, but when once you get started and give your poultry tho same care you do other stock there Is nothing on tho fam that will pay as well for the money Invested.

It Is a significant fact ,that the finest hogs brought to the steck yards are consigned by the dairymen. This means comcthlng when hogs are worth over eight dollar per hundred weight. There Is a general unanimity of opinion amongst experienced poultry men that poultry dp best upon some form of .green or succulent food dur ing the winter months. In keeping a poultry plant free from lice there are two points of attadk: One, the birds themselves; the other, the houses, nest boxes, roosting boards, etc. ~ ~ Brood bows will nose through* three inches of snow to get the green blto, and will range about on Jhelr feet for hours* which Is In fact the main ob ject, I ?
