HINTS FOR FARMERS

Finished Sheep Par Best. One of our oldest and most successful breeders and importers of high class stock told me some time ago that, after many years’ experience in handling horses, cattle, sheep and pigs, he found his best profits, greatest pleasure and satisfaction in the sheeft division of his business. And well may I indorse his statement, as for many years my comparatively small flock has produced for me more profit than all else on the farm. A mistake of many jn our country Is the selling of butcher’s lambs in the fall at a small i*rice while by feeding on well for some four to six months longer the value can be easily doubled and tbe former profit quadrupled.—John Campbell, Ontario, in American Agriculturist. Hors* Facts. There is such a thing as feeding too much. While the horse does the hardest work he should have the best care. Don’t think that you can raise the best horses by feeding on corn as a grain ration. They need grain that will produce boue and muscle. Horses which are fed Improperly are subject to colic. Overloading the stomach on coarse feed and work is Just what causes It. Remember that tbe horse has a small stomach and feed accordingly. On Idle days lessen the amount of grain. The system cannot utilize as much food when Idle.—E. J. Walerstrfpe In National Stockman. 4 Grain For Pla» on Grass. There Is no way lu which a shote can be made to gain so fast hs by feeding corn or other grain in connection with grass.. A little soaked corn fed dally while the shotes are on clover puts on weight at an astonishing rate and quickly puts the animal in marketable condition. Feeders should remember that no one kind of feed is as good fed alone as when combined with one or two other kinds of feed. Both grass and corn are natural and excellent hog feeds, but neither one is as good alone as when combined with tbe other. Corn makes fat very fast when the system Is in a healthy, thrifty condition, and nothing equals grass as a conditioner.— Wisconsin Agriculturist See Bangbman & Williams for farm and city loans.
