of the barn from the atandpolnt of. a

"There waa au Insufficient supply of

lumber and built rather high, ao that

WINTERING THE FLOCK.
Sheep Require Proper Feed and Banal
bla Care te Thrive.
The farmer who canles bis first
flock through the winter Is apt to run
up agnlnat tbe rocka of lneiperience.
If the owner la wlae he will llrat
consider tbe condition of bla flock.
For Instance, ewea that are pregnant
will not receive the same attention
as ewea that are not. nor will young
iamb.s being raised for ewea receive
the same treatment as tbe others. Thla
en lie for three different bunches. To
secure the best reeults these three
classes should be separated that Is,
the pregnant ewes by themselves, ewea
not pregnant and wethera for fatten
ing together, and lambs for breeding
purposes lu another flock. When all
ure allowed to ruu together none seems
to make the progress It ought to.
Knocked around, the'uting lambs will
not make the growth necessary to de
velop the good, hen It In breeding- ewes.
the pregnant ewes will not bring foith
as strong, healthy young, nor will thoee
being fattened for market make the
growth they should.
The ewe flock should start Into win
ter In good, thrifty condition In fuel,
what many farmers cull fat and dur
ing the winter they should he so ban
died and fed (hat they continue thrifty.
Consideration must be given the lamb
which the ewe Is growing. Feeds
