the powder down to the skin; work it

ROOTS AS SHEEP FEED.

The art of feeding sheep for mutton
In Its highest degree is credited to the
sheepman of England. All the Impor

rnited States today are of lirttish ori
gin, says B. O. Severson of I'euusylva

lioots are used primarily in a ra
tion to supply succulence. By a suc
culent feed is meant one which con
tains a high percentage of moisture
The Importance of succulence In a ra
tion Is that It stimulates appetite, reg

ness which produces high condition
and good gains. Corn sting can tie

The Cotswold I the oldest breed
of sheep of which there Is any sat

back at least three centurle. It la
one of the hardiest of all breeds
and is the next larKest sheep to the

formed due to the hitrb mineral con
tent of sugar beets. The residue from
sugar beets In the manufacture of sug
ar is known as "beet pulp" and Is used
extensively wit la good results In fat
tening sheep. Dried beet pulp is al
most as valuable ns corn for sheep
feeding nud is worth eight times as
much as wet beet pulp.
.Mangels. Like sugar beets, mangels
cause the formation of calculi in the
kidneys nnd therefore should not be
fed to breeding stock. This root is tho
highest yielding of ail root crops.
Turnips. This root Is not as popular
with sheepmen as the roots described
above.
Other roots satisfactory for sheep
are parsnips, carrots and potatoes, but

relatively hlu-h market value tliey nre

should not compose the exclusive ra

irder to make roots easily consumed
and highly relished thej must be fed
to sheep "sliced up" finely.
Buying a Dairy Bull.
If you buy n young bull you must
pay more attention to the pedigree and
to the performance of his near ances
try than to his Individuality. In the
purchase of an old bull the record of
his offspring and his individuality are
the principal features to consider, and
these are much more simple and more
easily understood nnd of greater value
to the unskilled Judge of dairy stock
These satisfactory, with the pedigree
to show pure breeding, and you elimi
nate a large part of the speculation In
the buying of a dairy sire.
Hard Churning.

scatter the poisoned bniu over the

larger will be distributed every foot

Poultry must be kept away from
the garden for a few days After a
week or two or after one or two rains
the bits of bran usually disappear suf
ficlently so that there Is little danger
of poisoning poultry.
Often cutworms cause excessive
damage by cutting off uewly set to
mato plants or cabbage plants flint
have Just been transplanted from seed
boxes. Such plants mny be rather
easily protected by wrapping a small
square or strip of paper around the
stem when setting them out, so that
the stem near the ground will be pro
tected by a cylluder or collar of pa
per. This paper protector should ex
tend into the ground half an Inch and
above ground two or three inches, if
soft paper is used the collar should
make two or three turns around the
stem.

Turning Alfalfa Into Pork.
At the Kansas experiment station
SOO pounds of pork were made from
one ton of alfalfa hay und TVU pounds
from an acre of alfalfa pasture. At
the Nebraska station hog rations con
slstlng of one-fourth ulfalfa hay show
ed the alfalfa hay worth Its weight in
, cornmeal and superior to the same
weight of bran. The Iowa station
j made pig pork nt fl.Si per UK) pounds
'and realized 71.1 cents per bushel for
corn. With alfalfa und corn, pork cost
; $1!.H8 per 100 pounds, and corn return
!ed 8i;.ij cents per bushel, a difference
I of 33 13 per cent in favor of ulfalfa.
How to Handle Blackberriea.
When picking blackberries get them
out of the sun as soon ns possible or
! they'll turn red in spots and not be so
salable. Hurry them into the crates
j and then Into a cool cellar until time
for shipping or selling. Kill the boxes
i full nnd pack nently In clean pack
ages. If you want a fancy price make
the crates look attractive. Farm Jour
