Convinced
Southern farmers could Increase
their income by growing spring lambs
for market, the Southern Railway Sys
tem, through jts Agricultural Depart
ment, offers the following suggestions
as to the care of ewes and lambs by
G. W. Humphrey, one of its agricul
tural agents, who is an expert on sheep
culture: ~ r —r - "
.During the lambing season the ewes
should be • kept close at hand where
they can be seen several times a day
and at least arice before^ettftng Tor
the night. By this means many a
new born lamb is saved which other
wise may- hetmme^hnred^ahd^ die T5e-
fore it is strong enough to suckle its
mother, fay trarcfulty handling the
flodc
For the first few days after the
lambs are born give the ewes good
legume hay and then turn ewes and
lambs on green crops such as oats,
wheat, rye or barley .or any other
green grazing crop.
Don’t forget the “creeps” whereby
iambs may eat a litlte grain at will
as soon as they are old enough. Dock
and castrate lambs at about two weeks
of age or even earlier.
Whether your lambs sell as “tops/
seconds” or “culls” will depend very
largely upon the., care and feed you
’give the ewes and lambs between the
time the lambs are bom and shipped
to market. The ewes must have suf
ficient feed to produce enough milk
for the growing lamb. Unless you have
sufficient legume hay and grazing the
ewes should hare some grain as a
supplement-
* In marketing lambs the advanatge
of co-operative carlot shipments Is
Important, as where spring lambe are
offered En earlots-tlie larger and bet
ter markets may be reached. Farmers
with fewer than carload lots are by{^

which would probably lamb first and
these it would be well to put in a
shed or barn,particularly if the weath

A few small pens in the barn 01

above means dollars later on. /
Again the valfte of seeing the ewes
often is in that at times they need
assistance at lambing. When such is
the case handle the ewe carefully
laying her gently on her side ami give
the necessary attention. At tilnei
when the lamb is bofn it will hav£ s

happen, should such be the case* set

the lamb gently over the b^eart to start
it breathing.
