Be sure that the flock I not exposed to storm. Exposure nieiin a poor ewe, light fleece nnd weak lamb. Keep the heep quarter well Uttered with dry straw. Scatter laud planter over the pen to ab sorb the ammonia- and keep the odor down. Ewes that are successful breed ers should be kept as long as ponslble. Do not let the ibeep drink from trough half full of Ice. Give water regularly and keep the trough clean. If you want strong lambs give the ewe wheat bran , In the grain ration. If a lamb U chilled dip It In water as hot as you con bear your band In and wrap it In a warm blanket until it is dry. "A little farm, well tilled," should contain a few sheep well token cure of. KEEP EWES HEALTHY. Bowels Must Be Looked After Before Lambs Begin to Come. Thin Is a critical time of the year an regards the health nnd wolfaro of the ewes, which noon will be dropping their hunbs uud Indeed hare com nieuoed to liunb In some parts of the country, says t'r. A. S. Alexander lu tho Purui Journal. It niUKt now be the aim of the shep herd to counteract the tendency to con stipation, which Is shown by every aul liin 1 well along in pregnuuey- Plenty of fresh water should lie supplied and bran nnd ollineal added to the other ration, for corn. If used, does not oen the bowels, nor does it lend to a full flow of milk at lambing time. Salt should be used for pregnant ewes in small quantities and not in the shape of salted hay. When the lambs commence to ar rive the ewes may lie brought Into a comfortable, sheltered place where there are a number of small pens lu which to put each ewe In turn as soon as she drops her lambs. On taking ber Into (ho small pen she should tie turn ed up and the locks of wool removed from her udder, so that tho lambs will be ublo to suck without getting wool into their mouths. This done, the ewo may bo left for awhile to lick her lambs dry, and when this has been done they should be assisted to Btaud and take their first drink, if weak, aft er which they will usually get along all right WINTERING THE HORSE. Idle Animals Need Exercise and a Fair Amount of Feed. The horse in winter should not be Stall tied all day, but should have plenty of exercise. Turned into the well fenced paddock, the horse's ex ercise will take care of itself. He should be fed and watered nt regular times. The feed need not be large. It is worse to founder a horse than to underfeed him. Oats, corn and hay, an occasional brun mash nnd the horse should winter in excellent shape. The currying should not be forgotten. The proverb says that it is worth good eats to curry. When hitched in the cold they should be blanketed. Horses are susceptlblo to colds nnd pneumo nia and veterinarian's bills, but they may all be prevented if the proper pre cautious are taken. If one has work for bis horses In winter, so much the better. The most common mistake is underfeeding them nt this season and a consequent re sumption of hard work in spring in ill conditions. It does not pay to have dull tools nor inetllclent horses. Oue cannot afford to put up with elthor. Just exorcise a llttUi horse senso lu foedlng nnd caring for the horses this winter nnd see if it does not pay both in efficiency of tho horses and satisfac tion of the owner. The princess who snubbed Colonel Goethals chose a novel way of an nouncing ber presence on earth.

The Journal is glad to note that the dry land alfalfa story published several weeks asro has awakened interest in other parts of Crook county. The Madras Pioneer says: "A couple of weeks since there ap peared in the Prineville Journal an article to the effect that some one had brought in a sample of dry land alfalfa that measured 13 inches in length for the first year. "Mr. Newell of Haycreek, hav ing read the article, immediately proceeded to his field of dry land alfalfa and found that he could easily beat that figure, and the first time he came into Madras he brought to this office a sample of Turkestan dry land alfalfa that he had sown from the seed that he had gathered on his own p'ace, and only one year old, that measured 26 inches in length. He also brought in a sample of three-year-old alfalfa that measured at this time 33 inches, the latter being from the seed raised in Colorado. Mr. Newell's method of growing dry land alfalfa is to sow the seed in rows of about two feet apart and during the first season it may be cultivated with a cultivator like corn, and the next spring after harrowing up the ground in good shape, he sows another row in be tween the first two rows, making the plaits in the row a foot apart In this way it is his opinion that much better results will be had than if tha seeds were sown broad cast on the land and perhaps har rowed into the ground. We under stand that several -other people in this section are experimenting along this same line, and their ex periments are being watched with a great deal of interest, as it is thought that in this way the seed industry may be developed into a paying proposition in Central Ore gon." A word of explanation is due Mr. Reynolds, the Powell Butte dry land alfalfa experimenter. No doubt the" difference in time of taking the measurements is ac countable for the difference in height Mr. Reynold's alfalfa now measures 32 inches in height and is just coming x into bloom. Mr. Newell's method of cultivation seems to be a good one and well worthy of consideration. Let us hear from others who are doing ex perimental work with this new alfalfa. Its cultivation is a great thing for this country and should be encouraged in every way. Ed Liv. Stock Profitable. Live stock ruining in connection with general farming conserves fertility ele ments and makes it possible to pro duce more food on a given area of land. Growing crops and breeding ani mals should be practiced on every farm of nny considerable size if pos sible, us this kind of fanning is surer ns a general plan and It saves the farm for future crops. Th. Ailing Cow. Empty stomachs will make "hollow horn." If a cow's cont loses Its gloss and Is rough and stnring give her from one-hulf to one pound of epsom salts, a cupful of molasses nnd a tablespoon fill of ginger dissolved in a quart of water. Keep her warm and increase her feed, adding roots and Unseed meal. Chick Food, Oyster Shell, Grit, all Poultry Supplies at J. E. Stewart & Co. 4-30 None So Blind As He Who WiliNotSee By M083.
