Early Lambs Profitable.

Under favorable conditions there are many advantages in having the lambs come early. Early lambs can la* •cared for before the flock is turned ■out on the pasture. They cotne at a Beason when there Is ample time to give them life care they require When lambs cotitc so lute in the sea son tlrnl the dams are out on pasture the busy time has arrived, and there is danger that the il<w k may be neglected A Second advantage Is found in the fact that early lambs can lie pushed on <nd made ready for early markets. While it Is true that considerable grain is required to accomplish this, it is also true that, owing to the higher price obtained, the grain pays a good profit. Horse Notes. Remember that overfatnesa in a sirs may hide many defects. A* a rule, a horse broad in the forehead will be intelligent and kindBreed for a purpose. The average farmer should breed the draft horse. Feed Judiciously rather than plentifully. Many horses are fed Into a poor condition. After a day’s work clean the work horses thoroughly. Wash their legs from the knees down and rub dry. Breed preferably to a sire that U Kgularly worked on the farm or has seguiar road experience every day. The horses will get more benefit from their rest at noon if the harness te removed as soon as they get to the •table.
