GOOD CARE AND FEEDING OF WORK TEAMS j
Fine Work Teams—The Requisites for a Working Horse Are Good Size,
Quick Action and Strength.
'By R. A. 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
