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

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.

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.

Goethals chose a novel way of an

Dry Land Alfalfa.
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.
