Wheat, barley, corn and oats may bo given to them afUr they are several weeks old, bnt not before. Annie C. Webster In American Cultivator. KM lit Winter A fluid ot rough grans shonld always be kept as a winter ronort for ewes, and It is well to have it in clone proximity to the fold so an to minimize driving. So long an the day is dry, even although a little stormy, sheep will enjoy the lib erty. They will give themsolvi suffi cient exercise, and will poke their nosus into the old herbage in quest of gram grans. Sheep so treated will be far more contented on their return to the fold than if they had been confined; they will enjoy bettor health, will produce stronger lambs, and parturition will be much easier with them. There is no hard and fast rule that we can lay down as a general principle for the feeding of ewes. Much munt lie left to the judg ment of the inauter and shepherd. An lambing approaches you munt avoid too high condition and yet guard against poverty, always remembering that the demand on thu ewe's strength increases as the fetus matures; therefore you must watch the necessities of tho cose. All dietaries for live stock shonld be com posed of mixtures. The most common rations nsed in America for ewes tu the winter months are hay, bran, oats and in some instances flaxseed cake; very rarely do they receive puljied roots, which form such a happy and succulent change from continued dry food. Silage is also found to lie admirably adapted fir all classes of sheep. Cor. Field and Farm. lilv Stock I'olnta. A southern stockman Bays he regards worth as food a pound and a half of the nuground cotton seed. Mr. E, W. Cottrell, of Detroit, chief of the live stock department of the Colum bian World's fair, ts a man who, among his other lino qualities, will impress for elgners that meet him with tlio fact that we grow fine looking men as well as fine live stock in America. It is the old story again in the cattle market First class home grown ani mals soil for good prices, but some of the 111 conditioned western cattle are almost Unsalable. We have had three comparatively mild winters. If, as begins to be believed, Weather goes in cycles, then this coming winter will bo a severe one. Whether weather moves in cycles or not however, it will oertalnly be a safe measure to provide warm quarters aud plenty of food for the live stock. Hogs fatten a third faster in a moder ately cool temperature than in the se verely oold months. It Is economy, therefore, to push the fattening as rapid ly at possible In the fall and early win ter. Germany admits our pork under a, tariff of slightly more than two oants a pound. DRAFT Of WAGON&, Btipurt nt Trial! a the MlMoarl lid Utah KiorlmHl Stllmn. liulletln No. 1U of the Minoourl Agrl ctilturiil college and No. 4 of the Utah experiment nUtion are the sonrces of the following summary which, from Its practical nature, can hardly fail to be In teresting to farmers) 1. WliMdswltli fulloos one and a half Inches wide drew on molnt. bnt close blue grans sward, 410 per cent harder than wheels with felloe three inches wide did. On a dirt road, slightly moist, the former drew 13.7 pur cent, heavier thau the Utttor. 8. Draft on moist roads, aooordlng to degree of motnture, is harder than draft on hills varying In rise from one foot In eight to one foot in twenty. 8. Draft on a plank road is about one fiftieth of the low and not one-seventh of the draft found on a mud road in its ordinary condition after a rain. 4. A load over the bind wheels drew 10 per cunt, easier than over the front wheels. Thu hind wheels drew 9.8-10 nr cunt coaler over an obstacle throe lnchee high when the attachment was uiudu to each set of wheels, but by the nnuid hitch drew harder on account of tho downward Incline of the reach con necting them with thu front wheels. 6, Lowering the ruocb on the hind wheels dwerooned draft. 6. Wagons draw easier when the draft has an upward incline and harder when homes are bitched on the end of the pole. T. Looae burrs reduce the draft 4.S per cent. 6. Lard, Fraror'i axle grease, cylinder oil and cantor oil decreased draft in the order named. 8. The load that oonld be drawn on vary ing roads tested varied from 1,810 pounds on a looae, gravelly road, just made, to 7,83JJ pounds on a good gravel road and to over 18,000 pounds on a plank road. Other varieties of roads were tested as well as the influence of grade. Draft varied on grades very closely to their theoretical variations. Nothing could be written that wonld more forcibly empliasize the importance of a better construction of the country roads. Tho varying amount of power required to move a load on roads accord ing to the suioothneus or hardness of their surfaces, or otherwise, should in- cite all in ten ted to a general movement for their improvement The advantage of wide over narrow felloes is worthy of note. Again, the comparative value of the sultAucs named as lubricants is not commonly estimated in the order above given. Imported vrua American Grown HimnI. For several years, according to a bul letin from the Now York agricultural station, the market gardeners through the eon tern state have found that seed grown from a carefully selected strain . ,., , m ot the leading varieties of i cabbage grown in this country gave bet ter results than imported seed of the some varieties. Only recently, however, lias it been claimed that cauliflower sued could be grown here that would approxi mate in value seed grown In Oermany or France. Especially has it been claimed that cauliflower and cabbage seed grown on Puget sound, Wash., excelled all others in vigor of product In order to investigate this matter, trial was made at the station in 1889 be tween two varieties of eastern grown seed and two varieties from sued grown in Washington, with the results In favor of the Washington grown sued. To fur ther tent the matter, a trial of the some kind was made in 1890, using both cab bage aud cuuliflower seed from three dlllereut sonrces imported, Long Island grown and Washington grown. The re sults were carefully noted, and, as ex hibited in the tables published, show that neither the Long Island nor the Puget sound grown seed are in any way Inferior to those Imported, a fact that should cause the growing of these seeds here to bo further developed. As botween early and late plantiugs set in open ground April 89 and July 8, only about half of the early planted cauliflower developed heads, while of the late planted 90.13 per oent reached ma uiity. In the case of the cabbage 75.61 per cent of those planted early and 90.84 per cent of the late planted made mar ketable heads. Marketing Poultry. Old fowls may get very fat while run ning at large, but chickens, not fully mature, munt tie closely confined and bountifully fed with nieiil in order to wax fat It is well to wet the meal with boiling water aud feed it warm. Two parts corn to one part oats, ground to gether and mixed with milk to fatten chickens. This feed cannot be excelled. A suitable coop should be provided; the bottom made of bars, and raised high enough to permit scattering dry earth Every precaution sho'uld be taken to under or clearing away the excrements. avoid a filthy condition. The top and two of the sides may also be made of bars, thus giving free circulation of air and affording means of making the room smaller by putting in a cross partition between the bars, making the size right to accommodate a small number of chickens, says a writer in The Poultry Yard. Poultry Dont'n. Don't kill a bird for market nntil its crop is empty. Don't kill a chicken until it is In good condition. Don't wait until the day before going to market before you begin to feed to fatten. Don't waste food, but souk to give what is most profitable. Don't keep forty hens where only twenty can live. Don't allow the hens to roost in the car riage bouse, woodshed or on the big beams over the barn floor. Dont try over one breed at a time. Dont expect eggs in return for neglect Don't cram today and starve tomor row. Dont expect poultry to thrive in damp ItMsrteri Mains farmer. ropuiar Gardening commends for low spots tlin common elder as a summer bloomer, J. M.
