The ewes shouhl have good Kreett feed tin? last two weeks in August and the rams turned in September 1. Before turning in the rams the Dock should be eulled of all ewes with spoiled udders, broker mouths or extremely light fleeces. When cold weather sets in. the sheep should be fed about two pounds of first class alftilfa per head per day. The feeding should be done at exactly the same hour each day as the sheep will be ready for it and any delay irritates them. As lambing time approaches the farmer should go among his sheep, getting acquainted, tagciug them if necessary, and gentling them. A man that is not willing to care for his ewes day and night during lamb ing should not raise sheep. The ewes should be housed at night. As they show signs of lambing they should be separated and held in a small pen for at least 24 hours. All lambs should be docked at B week old the grades and cull pure breds B truted at two weeks. If good alfalfa Ifl at hand no gruin need he fed to healthy sheep. Pure water should be accessible at all times. During April. May and June it will be a problem on most farms to keep the flock from getting too fat. Shearing usually comes in May. If the wool is not sold at once it should be placed in a cool shelter. A small 15 foot dipping vat in a com munity where sheep are raised will more than pay for itself each season. From actual experience it has been proven that from a $200 investment in farm sheep, a yearly profit of 100 per cent above feed costs can be ob tained by giving the flock good care.
