filth. Consequently it is a matter of
importance io provide troughs ? for
grain and racks for roughage , into
which they cannot climb aul stand or
eve:1 put their t'ect at all.
Pro'.jalylv tlie bet way to make
troughs Tor grain i : ? to build them
al'Mic.Mue and close up to a board
fence or wall of a building , say. ? a
writer in Farm Progress , if this i- ;
done and tlie trough , even though Hat
bottomed , is not very wide the vjheep
will not be able to jump rp into it and
stand in it. This would be the plan
for a single trough , and the sheep could
stand only on one side.
But troughs may be made flat bottomed
tomed and wide enough to divide by a
board partition running along the mid-
iuxic von MUDDY LOTS.
die lengthwise , dividing it into two
troughs of the length required. If this
t partition of boards or slats is high
i enough the sheep cannot well get into
j and J-tand in tlie troughs and foul the
i feed.
I As sheep dislike mud very much and
hate to get wet feet , provision ought
by all means to be made for feeding
them in the dry. A well made shed
facing south is the best way to secure
this pritection. but if for any reason
the shed cannot be provided for feed
ing them it is very desirable that the
ground around the feed racks and
trough ? should be dry. Where gravel
is abundant raising the ground around ,
the racks and putting on four to six
indies of gravel will keep the immedi
ate surroundings firm and free from
mud.
If gravel is not obtainable and there
is no other way to provide for solid
standing room around the feed racks
and troughs the best thing is to build a
board platform xn good substantial sills
of some wood that docs not rot easily.
This idea is shown in the accoinpAny-
ing illustration , which shows low , flat
racks. The racks might be better if
made V shaped , Avith up and down
slatted sides , wide enough apart to per
mit the sheep's noses to pass through
readily. I have tised them made in
that way as well as like the illustration
and found that it saved much of the
hay , turnips and other tilings that I fed
them.
Sheep on Legumes.
Care should be exercised in pastur
ing sheep on clover or. in fact , on any
member of the legume family , for un
less judgment is used there may be
considerable loss from bloating. There
is a right and a wrong way of pastur
ing these crops. The right way is to
allow the clover or alfalfa almost to
come into bloom before turning in the
sheep. Then there should be sown
With these crops some timothy , redtop
ov any othoi' nanloguminous plant , for
where thei'o fs a mixlurp this way the
sheep will alternately eat one aijd tlje
other and so reduce the chance of bloat
AVlKMi turning in the flock for the
first lime they should be already filled
with food. For example , the day they
are to be turned into the clover pas
ture feed them early In the morning
a little grain and hay. and Avhcn the
sun is well up and hot turn them out
Then instead of filling themselves at
once they will eat a little and then
look for a cool spot to rest in. Joseph
T3 , Wing has. he says , tried this plan
With great success. ITp also advises
keeping before them constantly a re.-
ceptaclc containing saft find air slack
ed lime mixed.
Once hi the pasture thpy should nev
er be moved until It comes time to
change to fresh pasture that Is. they
should not be brought Into the yards
at night or they will be in danger of
bloating when let out again in the
Saving the Lambs. .
A younf ? lamb from high priced reg
istered stock Is too valuable to lose ,
but not every one Is successful In rais
ing them by hand. If It must be done
that way I always turn them over to
