GAL.LIHER.) Perhaps no subject is of more im portance to the average farmer than the proper care, and feeding of the teams that are relied upon to do the farm work; and as a rule, we do not believe that these horses receive the care and consideration that they should. A good horse used in com monsense manner, should live to an old age and be in condition to per form good work at ail times. The essential requisites for a work ing horse are good size, quick action and strength. A high-spirited animal or one cf great value is not the most desirable animal for the farmer. What we need is a good walker, as much of the usefulness and efficiency depends upon that quality. This fac ulty is quite as much a matter of ed ucation as inherited qualities. Vnder ordinary circumstances It is judicious to use mares for working teams upon a farm. Except for a short time, the period of parturition and im mediately after, they are fully as well adapted to farm work as geldings. They also possess the advantage of annually bringing colts, and in event PRACTICAL HINTS FOR THE SHEPHERD While Dipping the Sheep Just Dip the Lambs. Too—Keep All Good Breeding Ewes. Do not let anyone deceive you by telling you that buck lambs will bring you as much money as wether lambs, for they will not do it. Castrate all male lambs at eight days to two weeks of age, and any good operator will not lose one out of 100. Dip all your sheep as soon as shear ing is over. While you are at it just dip the lambs too. as the ticks will leave the shorn ewes for the woolly lambs. Just as long as a ewe “holds her teeth" it will pay to keep her for a breeder, as ewes breed lambs up to quite an advanced age. That old ewe migh* have brought $2.50 last fall and the two lambs trot ting at her side will bring $5 or $6 in July. An old ewe or two may die during the winter, but you can lose one out of three and still make it pay to keep them at $2 to $3 per head. The sheep get uneasy as soon as the hot weather comes on unless they get out on the ground. It is a good plan to let them out every day for a while. If the pastures are not high enough so that they can get all they want to eat, bring them dow:n at night and give them a nice, bright look of hay and a little grain. The ewes need this if the lambs are to be kept grow ing. I? the coarse hay in the mangers Is given to sheep they will nibble a great deal of it away. The sheep is a dainty feeder and will not eat musty or unclean hay or fodder. Neither will sheep drink un clean water. It is strange that some men will Insist on raising a scrub ram when a thoroughbred costs so little in com parison to the improvement he will make in his flock. Sheep will sometimes eat weeds, but it is generally because they have nothing better. The reason why so many men fail in the. sheep business is because they do not study It before they begin. cf their being incapacitated by acci dent or labor they may still be kept with profit as breeders. Horses employed for farm work ; should not be pampered, but should be fed generously, so as to sustain vigor and good spirits. A team ill fed. and consequently In ' poor condition and feeble, will not ac i complish much real hard work, and it | >s a waste of labor to hire an expen ■ sive hand to drive snch a team. The harness, and particularly the I collar, should be accurately adjusted | j to the horse. If the collar is either : too tight or too loose it galls him and j seriously affects his breathing. The workhorses should be fed early j 1 in the morning, and they should have j a liberal feeding. The comfort and rest of the team will be vastly pro ! moted if the harness is entirely re : moved at noon while they are feeding ' Rub them down carefully and cleanse j from dust and sweat. Allow them plenty of time for a ; good meal and partial digestion before they are put to work for the after I noon. It is poor policy to rut them to ! work right after eating a hearty meal. Sheep raising means something more than buying a flock of sheep and turn l ing them into a ba.tfe pasture without shelter. Our sheep farmers are beginning to learn .that they need permanent pas tures increased yearly in productive ness by high fertilizing. The hit-or-miss plan of raising 1 sheep has never yet proved profitable. Never feed sheep heavily on one grain alone. Give them a variety and don't forget the roots. English shepherds believe that peo ple who eat mutton and leave pork ! alone will never have indigestion. Arrange your fields so that the sheep will have good shade during the coming summer. It is an easy matter to provide a narrow trough filled three or four inches deep with solution through which the sheep can pass from the pen to the pasture every morning : This will not cure bad cases of foot rot but it will prevent new cases. One of the necessary things in the care of sheep is the paring of their hocfs at least twice a year. Nature provided a rapid growth of hoof to stand the wear and tear of stony ground but soft pastures w-ill not wear down the hoofs fast enough and the broken hoof often results in disease. If you have any old sheep, they should be separated from the rest of the flock, and if they are to be fat tened. corn should be cracked for them. Do not make the mistake of starting the sheep business with a large flock. You will have your hands full for the first year or two with a dozen. The most profit to be made In sheep iB on the farm where small flocks can be handled to better advantage than by wholesale. Ever try smoked mutton hams? They are cured just as easily as pig hams and are good eating. If sheep and lambs are fed grain together, the lambs will fare pretty slim. Have a hole in the fence near the barn through which the lambs can slip and get away from the old sheep. Have a good trough out there for the grain you feed the little fellows and they will get their share and grow like weeds. Make it a rule to see the sheep and lambs every day. Count to see that nothing has happened to them If one is sick or otherwise in trouble, get it out of the flock where you can give it a little extra care. FENCE REVOLUTIONIZING HOG INDUSTRY Pigs Find Money in Waste Land. (By W. M KELLT.) The woven wire fence is revolution izing the hog industry in the whole country, and when farmers learn to utilize every bit of waste land for pas ture for their hogs the herds will be healthy and the cost of production will be decreased many dollars. It won’t do to allow the pigs to lie in the shade of the corn cribs or to zllow them only a run of pasture. 1 believe in feeding a little corn all the time that the pigs are running in the pasture. The grass-grown pig does not appear so attractive with his working clothes on, but when he is well-developed and ready to be fatted he makes the Tam pered pets look like very little. He makes a fine appearance in society and is a credit to his owner and feeder. Hens and Incubator*. Comparing hens and incubators for batching purposes, the hens are bet ter than the incubators. They produce better chicks, which have more vital ity and prove to be better individuals. Such chicks are more easily reared and have the same advantages that natural products always have over artificial products. Set Plants In Row*. Arrange the garden planting so that all plants are set in rows like field crops Leave a good wide turning row at each end of the garden so that no plants wjll be tramped down in turn ing the horse. These turning rows may be seeded to grass and serve as clean, conve nient walks. They may be trimmed with lawn mower and even look beau tiful.—A. T. S. Unsuitable Crop. Corn is not a suitable crop with which to follow' alfalfa, unless then is an abundance of rain. GOOD ROADS GOOD ROADS PROVE BENEFIT Improved Highways Increase Attend ance at Rural Schools—States Ma king Greatest Progress. While it is true that various factors contribute to increase or decrease the attendance at schools in given sections of the country, it is worthy of com ment that in the states having a high percentage of improved roads a much larger percentage of the students en rolled regularly attend the schools than in the states having a small per centage of improved roads. In five eastern and western states, which have a large mileage of improved roads, the average attendance of en rolled pup-ls in 190S-9 was 80 per cent, while in four southern states and one northwestern state, which are noted for bad roads, the average attendance for the same year was 54 per cent— 80 per cent in the good reads states as against 64 per cent in the bad roads states. In the states first named 35 per cent of the roads have been A Good Road in New England. improved, while in the latter group of states there are only 1** per cent of the roads improved. That improved roads would benefit our country school system there would seem to be no doubt. Improved roads make it possible to consolidate or cen tralize the schools and to establish graded schools in the rural districts. Such schools centrally located will ac commodate all of the children within a radius of from four to five miles. In many communities having the advan tage of improved roads commodious buildings have been provided, more competent teachers have been em ployed, and modern facilities for teach ing have been supplied at a minimum cost. For instance, since the Improve ment of the.main highways in Durham county, North Carolina, the number of school houses has been reduced from 66 to 42, of which 17 are graded and have two -or more rooms and employ two or more teachers. tfhere are at the present time about two thousand consolidated rural schools in the United States. It ap pears that Massachusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made the greatest prog ress along these lines, and It is rather significant to note that in these states about one-third pf the roads have been improved. According to statistics of the agricultural department ther^ was expended in 1899, $22,116 in Massachu setts for the conveyance of pnpils to consolidated schools, but in 1908 the expenditure for this purest- amounted to $292,213. In Indiana the expendi ture for this purpose in 1904 amounted to $86,000, while In 1908. $290,000 was expended. This expenditure for trans portation reflects. In a general way, the extent and progress of this new educational movement It must not be understood that this is an additional burden, as the expenditure thus made is saved ifi other directions. BENEFIT OF IMPROVED ROAD Among Many Other Things It Attracts Investors Looking for Advan tageous Locations. A long stretch of improved road Is one of the best advertisements a state can have. It attracts a class of tour ists who are able and willing to pay for entertainment. It brings investors who are looking for advantageous lo cations. It includes agricultural inves tigation and consequent immigration and investment, not only along the line of the road, but in other accessible sections. It changes, by the sheer force of publicity, backward localities into progressive ones; enhances val ues. and brings Into general notice re sources which had only been known locally; or. if known, not appreciated. The advantages which such stretches of main roads cause to accrue are ad vantages which affect the entire state, as well as the localities themselves. It should, therefore, be assumed as a principle that such main roads should be built, in whole or In part, by tbe state; that their management and maintenance should be in the hands of the state authorities. Raising Lettuce. Many market gardeners sow lettuce in rows 10 to 12 inches apart and thin the plants to stand from 8 to 12 inches apart. This plan Is very satisfactory whenever good markets are available. Any of the loose-leaf and heading va rieties inay be grown in this manner. Using Kerosene. Kerosene may be used in connection with lard externally or a light film of It may be put on the drinking water, but it should not be used internally or externally otherwise. Here!
