Under ordinary farm conditions
lambs should be made ready for mar­
ket at from 3 to 5 months of age.
When young they make a higher rate
of gain and will put on the same
amount of flesh for less cost than when
they are older. Then, too, they will
make but small gains during the heat
of summer, and at this time parasites
are most troublesome and they nre

HARVARD’S HAN OF M YS TER Y
Every effort should be made to keep
the lambs growing from the start. The
first essential is to teach them to eat.
Liberal feeding of lambs dropped be­
fore pastures are ready is profitable
under any ordinary grain prices. This
Is best done through the use of a small
Inclosure known ns a “creep,” to which
the lambs have access at all times, but
Into which the ewes can not come.
The creep should contain a rack for
hay and a trough for grain, so ar­
ranged that the Iambs can not get their
feet Into them.
All feed given, especially ground
feed, should he clean, fresh, and free
from mold. The lambs will begin to
nibble at the feed when from 10 to 10
days of age. Pea-green alfalfa of the
second or third cutting is one of the
most relished feeds. Flaky, sweet
bran probably ranks next. For the
first few days these are the ideal feeds.

GOVERNOR COOLIDGE AND HIS FAMILY
The most common cow ailments, such as Abortion, Retained
Afterbirth, Lost Appetite, Bunches, Scours, etc., result from a
diseased condition of the digestive or genital organs. Any of
these diseases and many others can be successfully treated or
prevented by using Kow-Kure, the great cow medicine.
