The lamb becomes a grazer when but a few weeks old. It at first commences to nibble at the little tender spears of grass and rapidly Increases until It consumes quite an amount of pasture If it Is fresh and of good qual[ lty. The ewe should have all she will eat in order to produce enough milk to grow her lamb properly. In addition to the pasture, ii the best results are | to be had, a little feed should be provided for the lambs. This can best be | managed by building a pen large ! enough to comfortably hold ajl the lambs, with suitable feed troughs put up around the walls or sides of the pens so the lambs can conveniently eat out of the trough and yet not be able to get In tbem with their feet. Lambs should be taught the use of the troughs while in the sheep sheds or barn before being turned out on pasture. Shorts, bran, cornmeal, chop feed of oats and other grains can be used. The ewe and lamb flock should have a salt supply in the pasture where they can go to it at any time. A supply of good water is also essential. The ewe and her lamb need the maiv>hen] om nt tho flrvlr mAatar nrflC tleally each day. In warm, wet weather there Is danger of the green fly maggot getting started In slight Injuries or abrasions of the skin, filth, etc. One of the greatest sources of loss In the lamb flock is the parasitic ailments which attack the lamb in the summer The Southdown la one of the popular mutton breeda of sheep and la quite extensively bred. The breed la hornless. The face and legs are of a gray-brown color. The beat rams when fat often weigh from 175 to 200 pounds, the ewes from 126 to 150. The body Is rather blocky. Thla breed furnishes a fleece of good quality, weighing from six to seven pounds. The wool Is rather short, but of medium fine texture. The mutton is of excellent quality. The Southdown ewea produce more than one lamb at birth, often two and sometimes three. They are a very valuable breed for early lambs, i as the lambs grow rapidly. aud autumn seasons. These are called the stomach worm, Intestinal worm and lung worm. The latter possibly Is the most destructive in the lamb flock. The first remedy prescribed after the n# fha xonaa i\f tha ailment UlOWinj VI kuv v u uwv V* V ?? . I w wag oil and turpentine. This was prepared by taking equal parts of turpentine and crude castor oil, giving to each lamb one teaspoonful a day for three days, then omitting three days and repeating this treatment, giving three applications or treatments when the lamb would be on the road to recovery unless In the last stages of the disease, which was adjudged when the purging wag manuesr. r rum me uiue the turpentine treatment was discovered there was no more fatality from this lamb ailment, which Is now known as "lung parasite in lambs" or "lung worms." This disease is yet very destructive in many sections of the country and causes great loss where not promptly and properly treated. It will not do to permit lambs in your flock to drop down in flesh during the summer months and autumn season. Strong, healthy, well fed laiubs seldom If ever are troubled with this disease. It pays to keep the lamb increase of the flock : in good flesh. Stomach worms and Intestinal worms are claimed by some authority not to yield readily to tur peutlne treatment, but in our experl ence we have never failed to secure good results with lambs, colts, calves or pigs out >of eondltloa from worm ailments. f PANTHER AND MAN| WAITED FOR MOVE I ? ! They Were Face to Face lo the Indian Jungle. HE COULDN'T USE 6UH. Interlacing Leaves Prevented 8hot and Beast Got Away After Killing Goat Hunter Bagged Him a Year Later In the Same Place. SOME years ago, says a writer In the London Field, 1 was encamped in a district which was seldom visited by Europeans in India, and news was brought to me of a large panther which bad its home in some rocky hills not far from my encampment One afternoon I proceeded to the hills, where the panther's den was pointed out to me. a hprutlnv of the srround showed it to be must unfavorable for securing & suitable position for building a shelter wherein to wait for the animal. Tbo cave in which the panther bad taken op Its abode was at the foot of some high precipitous basaltic rocks, where It was Impossible to select a site above the cave, while the ground from the cave sloped steeply downward to the valley beneath and was covered with large bowlders interspersed with scrub Jungle. Used a Goat For Bait. As It was Impossible to find a tree strong enough to bear a shelter, a platform raised about three feet from the ground, so as to get a view over some bowlders, had to be built and this was Inclosed In the front and on both sides by leaf screens. After this was built a goat was tied about twenty yams In front In a position where It would be Flslble from the entrance to the cave. } Having seen to all the preparations. I returned to camp, and the next morning the shikaris reported that the goat bad been killed. At 8:30 p. m. my shikari went to the place, and, as the goat had been almost entirely devoured, another goat was tied, and the shikari and myself took our seats on the platform. To my disgust I found that the shikari bad a cold, and bis sneezing and coughing were sufficient to drive away any animal. I therefore sent him -v away, and be bad not been gone more than ten minutes when 1 beard a deep growling behind me Turning around suddenly, 1 saw a large panther lying fnll length In the scrub watching me from about three yards' distance. He Immediately made a couple of bounds to the left OB"J? "? SAW A LARQI PA-STHBK." I of my shelter, where be sat on hla j hindquarters, watching me and growling viciously. It was Impossible for me to shoot, as the leaves In the screen to the left were too tightly lirt?laceA? Only Chance For a Shot. My only chance for a shot was that be would pass along in front of where I was sitting, toward the goat This apparently he bad no Intention of doing. and we remained In oar respec tlve positions uutll It was nearly dark, when be quietly made off. On whistling up my men I told them about the behavior of this panther, and the shikari informed me that on leaving he had met him about fifty yards from where 1 was seated, and. as he would not move, he threw a stone at him. when he slunk off. snarling and growling. Into the Jungle. As It was now quite dark ! unloaded my rifles, and we proceeded together to untie the goat. We had not gone half a dozen yards when there was a rush, and we heard a struggle. The shikari and my! self both said that he was the panther at tbe goat. but tbe other meu would] not have it. 1. however, reloaded and.| as it was too dark to see. advanced! slowly to the goat. 1 On coming up to it -we found it In J its last death struggle, the panther| having seized it by the neck as he rushed past. As I was leaving tbe next; day. I wus unable to sit up again for the panther, but the next year when I was at the same place I was fortu- > nate enough to bag him. - tix,
