Ewes Will Do Nicely on the Grains and Roughage Grown on the Average Indiana Farm.

The size and quality of the lamb flock will depend largely on the care of the pregnant ewe. It is impossible for a poorly housed, half-starved ewe to properly nourish her offspring. On the other hand an over-fed ewe, loaded with fat, will give no better results. The feeding of a moderate amount of the ordinary farm feeds in a common sense way to ewes protected from the storms by a dry, but not too warm shed will prove more satisfactory. Feeding. Ewes will do nicely on the grains and roughages grown on the average Indiana farm. If brought into winter quarters in good condition, little grain feeding will be necessary providing a plenty of good quality clover or alfalfa hay is supplied. In carfe either roots or sweet corn silage are available, the shepherd will find ihat about two pounds per day of one or the other per ewe will assist materially in keeping up the general tone and thrift of the flock. However too much silage must be avoided as experience has taught some sheep men that it will cause large, soft, flabby lambs that are weak at birth and likely to die, besides causing trouble at lambing time. Avoid Spoiled Silage. When silage is fed special precautions should be taken to see that it is sweet and free from mould. Mouldy silage may cause abortion, while sour silage may cause colic, stretches cr scouring. In case the roughage available is not sufficient to keep the ewes in a strong, healthy condition, a small amount of grain should be supplied. Usually one-half pound per day per ewe is sufficient until after lambing time, when the anfount must be increased to stimulate a large milk flow. By no means should the grain be of a fattening nature. One and one-half parts oats and one part bran has prov INDIANA CORN. EXPOSITION By Z. M. Smith, Boys' and Girls' Club Work, Purdue University Experiment Station, Purdue University Agricultural Extension. Recently there was held in Terre Haute, Ind., a mammoth corn exposition and industrial show, under the management of the Booster club of that city. The building, 18 by 90 feet in dimensions, erected for corn exhibits exclusively, was filled completely. One thousand dollars in cash premiums were offered to corn exhibitors from Vigo and surrounding counties. The contest for the grand sweepstakes premium of $75 was open to the world. J. A. Stainbrook, I'Tanklin, Ind., with his ten ears of white corn, captured this coveted prize. The Vigo county sweepstakes was won by John Durham of Terre Haute. Near the corn building was erected an ear of corn, 70 feet in height and 30 feet in diameter at the base. Another unique attraction was a repre aentation of the American flag, 20 by 30 feet, made up of red, white and blue corn. The large tower built of coal, and the exhibit of Terre Haute products wore novel features worthy ot mention. The exhibit arranged by the agricultural extecsion department of Pur-

v - en highly satisfactory when fed to pregnant ewes. The oats of such a ration strengthens the ewes while the bran acts as a laxative and keeps the digestive organs in good working condition. Corn, barlejr, rye, cottonseed meal and all such fat producing grains should be avoided since they tend to cause a heated or feverish condition and the internal fat produced by them may hinder the proper development of the lamb. It might well be added here that sheep love variety in their feed, perhaps more than any other farm animals. A good shepherd will keep this in mind and make the best of the feeds available. Housing. The question of winter quarters for pregnant ewes may be based on the one principle of keeping them "high and dry." The factor of warmth is not nearly so essential. The heavy fleece will keep the average ewe warm providing she is given a chance to keep dry. So by all means the shed should be on the highest and best naturally drained spot available. The kind of floor used matters little so long as it is kept dry and well littered. Damp floors are conducive to colds and are most uncomfortable to the flock. The shed must be constructed in such manner as to entirely eliminate drafts but at the same time giving access to the greatest amount of sunshine possible and afford good ventilation in order to insure the greatest degree of comfort and health. Sheep love sunshine and the open air and will be out on all clear days providing they are given the opportunity. Runs should be provided then in which the ewes will voluntarily take the- necessary exercise to keep them thrifty. Narrow doorways leading 4o these runways from the sheds are dangerous and are the cause of many abortions. due university occupied a building IS by 60 feet. This exhibit portrayed the value of the various lines of experimental and instructive work carried on by the Purdue experiment station and the Purdue School of Agriculture. It was one of the largest ever sent out by Purdue. Hundreds of people passed through the building daily, and Messrs. Stimson and Sexton, who had charge of the exhibit, were besieged by inquirers wjio were seeking information. V Valuable exhibits were provided by the United States bureau of mines, and the Indiana state inspector of weights and measures. Thousands of visitors werj benefited by the information received from the men in charge. The business men and merchants of Terre Haute have demonstrated the fact that side attractions, known as concessions, are not necessary to the success of a corn carnival. All applicants for side show privileges were given the cold shoulder, and visitors of the exposition were not annoyed by street fakirs or managers of questionable entertainments. The corn show was high class In every particular, and, conducted as it was, advertised Terre Haute as a city such as is described in the Boosters' creed a ,ity of real values, of real opportunities, and of real progress. The Booster club expects to make the industrial show an annual affair. If the business men and merchant:! of Terre Haute spend their money in promoting future expositions in their citv with as good judgment as they j spent the $7.000 invested in the enter- ! prise this year, they will have no cause to regret their action, for the results of their efforts will be shown not only in the financial advancement of Terre Haute, but also in the betterment of agricultural conditions in southwestern Indiana. Working the Separator. Have you taken the pains to. occasionally note whether or not the separator is being turned to the speed required in the catalogue? It is, well to hold the watch on the person turning the crank once a week, says Kansas Farmer. It is easy to turn the separator one or two revolutions of the crank too few per minute, and it is just as easy to lose considerable butter fat by the slackening speed. The - ! lack of the necossary one or two turns per minute will result in the bowl running 600 or 700 revolutions too slow. This is a little too slow. This is a little thing seemingly, but It may save the foot of one cow. You cannot afford to waste fat after you have gone to the trouble of produc in it.

ECONOMY IN GROUND GRAIN

Enables Animal to Take Food Into Stomach In State of Ready and Thorough Digestion. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONB.) Where food is ground before being fed, we are sure that the animal takes the food into its body in a state which j will admit of a ready and thorough digestion and assimilation, while whole-grain rations often are but slightly chewed, swallowed and pass through the animal in that unchanged form. This means not only a great waste of food, but also that it furnishes very little nutrition for the upbuilding of bone and muscular tissue. A feedgrinder soon pays for itself, especially in the winter, by avoiding any waste Feed Grinder. of grain and in promoting good nealth and rapid development among the live stock. Companies using a large number of horses have found chopped and ground feeding both better and more economical. Corn, oats and other grains as rations for horses are used ground, and mixing the ground grain with moistened, chopped hay has proved to be a more economical stable reginien than feeding whole grain and uncut hay and roughage. Chopped stover and all ground grain minimize the labor of mastication and assist easy assimilation of food nutrients. While it may not be always practical on the farm to provide chopped rations for horses, better results will be achieved by feeding gram rations, with but little hay at the noon meal and watering the animals before the midday meal. The use of a feed-grinder will pay big. PROPER CULTURE OF CLOVER Best Results Have Been Obtained on Black, Sandy Loam Killing Danger Is in Spring. My best results in ciover growing have been on a black, sandy loam. Sc far I have grown exclusively the me dium or common red clover, says a writer in the New England Etome stead. I usually sow from eight to twelve pounds per acre on a well-prepared seed bed. I prefer sowing with a nurse crop. Wheat and barley both have been tried for this purpose. I prefer barley, as it does not form such a dense shade for the young clover plants when they are starting. The crop of clover grows rapidly, and cutting begins about July 4 in this locality, and sometimes aMittle earlier in the fields where clover is without any other grasses, and sometimes a little later if timothy and clover are mixed. Clover is not grown to any great extent in this locality. The past two seasons have not been the best to secure .ta stand. The real danger of clover-killing comes in the spring. When it freezes and thaws out, and the ground heaves the plants are torn loose and die. Whenever the snow collects it comes in fine shape in the spring. With the continued cultivation of this soil and with a large amount of manure worked into the soil will come better clover-raising in this part of the state. Fill up those vacant spaces in the orchard with some good fruit trees. It is never too late to start in the fruit business, enough at least for the home supply. Good, young apple trees come high, but the poor ones are dearer than any other kind. There will be a very heavy demand for trees next spring, and late orders will certainly be unfilled. Five feet apart is about the right distance for the currant and gooseberry bushes. Do not crowd. If you want a fine, early yellow peach, put two or three Triumph trees in your next nursery order. Wood ashes are valuable to spread around fruit trees for small fruits and vegetables; they should not be wasted. The root louse often causes apple scab, a.nd ashes or lime around the trunk will stop the ravages of the root louse. Expert orchardists recommend seed ing the orchard to crimson clover or rye to be plowed down the following spring. While apples do not rank high as pig feed it is best to give them to the pigs rather than to let them rot under the trees. The peach makes a good stock for some variety of plum. It has a larger and stronger root system than most plum varieties. The climate and conditions that are best for the apple are best for the human family. Both thrive best in the temperate zone. In heeling in trees remember to cover the tops as well as the roots. Rabbits can bark heeled-In 'trees as easily as those planied in the orchard.

It started in four or five small pimples and in two or three hours' time spread to the size of a silver dollar. It spread to her eye. Then water would run from the pimples and wherever that touched it caused more sores until nearly all one cheek and up her nostrils were one solid sore. Sho was very fretful. She certainly was a terrible looking child, and nothing seemed to be of any use. "Then I got some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub off everything we put on so that we would sit and hold her hands for two hours at a time, trying to give the medicine a chance to help her, but after I washed it with Cuticura Soap and then put on the Cuticura Ointment they seemed to soothe her and she did not try to rub them off. It was only a few days before her face was all healed up, and there has been no return of the trouble since. We thought that baby's face would surely be scarred, but it is not." (Signed) Mrs. W. J.
