Early Spring Hints On care of Livestock Well laid plans for breeding and 'ceding are keynotes to success with ivesetock in early spring, says County \gent W. C. McCartcy, making these tuggestions: Animal Husbandry?Make use of he small grains (barley, oats, and ye) for hog grazing. Grazing fenced cover crops with beef cattle. Allow sheep one-half pound of grain per day and all the good roughago they will eat. Improve permanent pastures by applying phosphrous and lime. Sow lespedeza onpermanent pasture in late March and early April. Keep the breeding cows maintaining their weight. If sows have lice, treat them with motor oil two or three weeks before farrowing Dock and castrate lambs when they are 7 to 14 days old. Dairying-?Breed as many cows as possible during February for calving In November and early December Plan abundance of home-grown feed for next winter's feeding. Provide for each mature cow: Siiage. at least three t<>ns. or h-gutnel hay, two tons, or a combination of silage and hay: corn, eiaht busht*l-?:| velvet beans. 420 pounds: oats. 1 "> I bushels; cottonseed meal, four sacks; I permanent pasture, two acres; soillnel crops, one-fourth acre Continue to r"-j pair fences, clean up the lots and grounds, and whitewash oul-buildin^s I and fences. Watch calves and yearlings for lice, which at this season do great damage. Poultry?Put brooding equipment in working order. Purchase chicks ea/Iy. as records show that early-hatched chicks aro the most profitable. Provide clean range for chicks and pullets Hold hatching eggs not over 14 days before setting.
