By njl meanB keep your owes healthy j ami vigorous, for upon a healthy, j thrifty condition of ewes depends your j success. The healthy owo is able to live on \ rougher forage than your other farm slock, hut It is with sheep as with all i e'.se. You must give them some attention if you expect profit. I Men, who every season mako money from their lambs, find that if they feed An Ideal Flock Header. them hotter for several weeks and flush tho ewe stock each fall, that Is, 1 before going to tho buck, thero are 1 more twins and more milk at lambing j time. Many of tho troubles with weak 1 lambs and empty udders would bo j avoided if your ewes were fatter when brought in for tho winter. Try tho plan of flushing your ewes, then follow with good pasture and you j will see from results that tho plan makes most profits. Have a dry, wellsheltered roomy yard, with deep shed . for the ewes. If you have neighbors with dogs, have a tight, stout woven wire fence with board at top and bottom around the sheep fold. Keep tho sheep in this yard at night?this will savo your sheep, as well as your temper. / HANDY DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE Practical Arrangement of Passage Way to Keep Larger Animals in a fin . . 11 /\..A ana liuio renuws uui.

Tho farmer owning 40 acres or more of land, who does not raise at least one colt every year, is not doing his host. The maro will do most kinds of farm work and raise lior colt with' out much loss of time. If the colt is properly handled from the beginning it will not give much trouble. Never allow it to run after its mother when shojs working. This worries and frets tho mare, and it wears out the colt. Keep it at the barn, loose in a box stall, and tc r.ipt it with a little clover hay and cats. Early colts will bo weaned preby soon now. If they have been brc ught up to this point right, weaning does not mean much. Feed more n quently with sweet clover hay, oats an 1 corn, and the colt will soon bo ah a to take care of itself. Keep it in the barn at night and allow it to run i w: h other y v-g stock In the pasture ^ during tho c.... f ;?ng Hogs. It is best never to feed hogs on the i gvjund.

One of tho difficult and trying problems of the poultry keeper Is to keep his poultry houses and stock free from lice, mites, etc. There are mn/.y proprietary preparations on the market to combat these, most of which work satisfactorily. However, they are more or less expensive. Die Maine experiment station has just issued a bulletin on tho subject and recommends a treatment which appears to be fully as simple as anything else, and much less expensive. The powder made by the station at a cost of only a few cent3 a pound is as follows: Take threo parts of gasoline and one part of crude carbolic acid. Mix these together. Add gradually, while stirring, enough plaster of paris to take up all the moisture. The liquid and dry plaster should be thoroughly mixed and stirred so the liquid will be uniformly mixed through the plaster. When enough has been added, the resulting mixture should be a dry, pinkish-brown powder, having a strong carbolic odor and a rather less pronounced gasoline odor. Be sure that the? crude carbolic acid is secured. If a spray is desired instead of the powder, simply take three parts of kerosene and one part of crude carbolic acid. If birds are infested with Uce the best way to get rid of them is to use the powder, which is to be worked into the feathers. Remember, a single application will not be sufficient, because where there are lice present there are also unhatched eggs or nits. Make a second application four days to a week after the first, and if it is a bad case a third application may be necessary. PLYMOUTH ROCK IS POPULAR More of Breed Found on Farms Than Any Other on Account of Blocky Shape?Wyandottes Next. The Barred Plymouth Rock is without a doubt the most popular breed of chickens In this country?more of them are found 011 the farms than any other breed. On special poultry farms the Leghorn is a very popular breed, and in the poultry farming districts the Rhode Island Reds are almost exclusively used, says a writer i In the Rural New Yorker. As a general utility fowl the Wyandottes are Plymouth Rock. second In popularity to the Rocks, the white variety being the most popular. Their blocky shape makes them an ex cellent breed for broilers. Like the Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, they lay a brown egg. The Leghorns lay a white egg and In this respect they have a slight advantage, as most markets prefer the white egg, though there Is no difference in the qualities of eggs with a brown or a white shell. SEPARATING YOUNG AND OLD Pullets Need Plenty of Fle6h Forming Food, Such as Barley, With Less Fattening Feeds. Young chickens, like young people, havo more or less timidity and therefore it is not well to run young and old together, at least it is much better to have them separate if you can well do so. Then again the pullets aro still growing and they need plenty of flesh forming feed, such as barley, bone, meat with less of fattening foods. The hen should not be deprived of these either, but she can get along on less, as what you give her will not be taken away from the purpose for which you intended it, as in the case with the pullet, which not only needs these things for making the egg, but to go toward the development of her body. It naturally follows, too, that the developed bird will requiro less feed than the pullet, and because the pullet Is somewhat timid she Is likely pot to got enough, or even her share. The young will feed more free among themselves and if you can possibly do so, keep them to themselves. Green Feeding Worth While.
