Sheep Notes.
For good mutton, the ewes
aun lambs need grain food.
ideanliness is as necessary to
^ the sheep as food and shelter.
The market value should determine
the best time to market
sheep.
Without exercise, sheep are
liaMe to become constipated and
fe\?j?ish and fall oft in appetite.
Beyond the first ewes a marked
deterioration ol the tleece is
the result if the crossing is continued
Sheep will sutler for a long
time from exposure to u single
severe rani.
Sheep kept only for scaven
gers are not the sort which
prove themselves of value.
Sheep poorly fed during the
winter will have weak spots in
their wool in the spring.
Supply plenty of bedding as
he sheep foul their quarters
quickly when confined.
The health and thrift of the
flock can be much better maintained
by keeping in small numbers.
Almost without exception
sheep that are properly fitted
for market meet with a ready
sale.
Sheep appreciate and will pay
for good feeding as well as auy
other animals.
Give the sheep plenty of dry
clean bedding so that the wool
will not become foul.
A sheep can hardly be healthv
that is always carrying a dirty
fleece around.
If in the sheep business for
mutton, select the herds which
grow rapidly uud mature early.
In growing sheep both for
wool and mutton be caretul not
to cull out the good muttons too
closely for the butcher.
In a majority of cases, the
very sheep that produces the
best carcass of mutton will also
produce the best fleece of wool
Usually a sheep wintered on
straw will produce a pretty poor
fleece. It may be ted well up in
flesh afterwards, but the fleece
will show the effect.

Hog Notes.
Feed all food sweet.
Avoid low, damp places for
the feed lots.
Sour food is not good for
young piga at any time.
Milk of any kind is better for
the pig's slop than water. I
'Ihere is no reason why the
boar should be thin to breed well.
One disadvantage with large
hogs is that they are slow to mature.
A good rule is to start the hog
on milk, grow it on gruss, and finish
with grain.
Brood sows need exercise,
hence a pasture is Letter than a
pen for them.
The profitable norker never
>ees two winters nor two sumtn
prtt
While, usually the early pigs
?re I lie most profitable, they re
quire warm quarters.
The greater the number of
pigs in a litter, the more tood the
9<>w requires.
Wheat brail fed to the sows
aids materially in securing a
good development of bone and
muscle in the pigs.
A pig should make a pound of
growth every day of its life.
I f it does this, it can be marketed
when six months old.
Generally, it is best to mate a
young boar that is being used f??r
service the first time wilh old
matured sows or at least withi
those that have had one litter oil
!>???
II you have a pure bred hoar,
the quality oi the common sows
upon winch he -s crossed will d<>
much towards giving quality to
i he offspring
In nearly all cases ii is heller
to lend growing pigs with a mixture
ot ground oa's and wheat
mid ling at least until thev are
ready to fatten when plenty ot
corn may be given in addition.?

"SPED IDT LIFE" {
?That's what a prominent ^
druggist said of Scott's ^
Emulsion a short time J
ago. As a rule we don't J
use or refer to testimonials 4
in addressing the public, f
but the above remark and V
similar expressions are i
made so often in connec- h
tion with Scott's Emulsion ^
:hat they are worthy of
occasional note. From
nfancy to old age Scott's
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying improper
and weak development,
restoring lost flesh
md vitality, and repairing
svaste. The action of
Scott's Emulsion is no
_ f
nore 01 a secret tnan the
imposition of the Emulsion
itself. What it does
t does through nourishnent?the
kind of nourishnent
that cannot be obsained
in ordinary food.
Mo system is too weak or
lelicate to retain Scott's
Emulsion and gather good
from it.
