In the manner of feeding growing stock it is very essential to have tlie feed in the best condition. 1 mean by that it should be clean and free from mold and clean utensils to feed from and in. The feed should be fresh and as clean ns possible from dirt. Beiug regular in time of feeding Is an important point. Another thing is the amount fed each time. J had a great deal rather feed too lit­ tle than too much. This Is true In young growing stock. It Is very neces­ sary that they ure kept hungry and ac­ tive. because it Is through vital power that they digest and assimilate the food given them, ami unless they are allowed to become hungry between feeding times they will lay around too flinch to develop their muscles and vi­ tal organs. So my plan I h to feed all they will eat clean twice a day and then have tt yard big enough that they can exercise and play In. Did you ever think how much good play does an ani­ mal?

By April 1 last year the lambs fed at the barn had gone to market, and the lambs sheltered by the temporary shed moved to the barn. During April the fodder roof was fed off to the stock In the adjoining lots, leaving the skeleton frame for use again this year. Last fall I extended the shed In length to 100 feet, using 135 shocks of fodder cut 14 hills square, making 1,000 bun­ dles, covering 1.04X) feet of floor space. Tills shed stands north and south, the north end coming within ten feet of low down barn. A post and rail and post and plank fence is used for the west side of the framework of the shed. The cracks between the rails and planks were covered with cheap plank to keep the lambs from eating the fodder through the cracks after It" is set against the fence. The frame­ work is constructed for a comb roof. The center row of posts is seven feet high. It should be nine or ten feet, made from white oak poles about eight inches in diameter at the butt. They are set 2Vj feet in the ground in a hole bored with a seven inch post au­ ger, the posts being dressed to fit the hole. The soil is hard clay, so the posts stand firm. The sides are about four feet high, the rafters on the west side resting on the top rail or plank of the fence. They should rest on top of posts about one foot higher. The center posts are set the same distance apart as fence posts and a rafter for each post, making them nine feet apart for the post and rail and six feet apart for the post and plank fence. For tiie fodder to rest on rails are put across the rafters. The east side of tlie shed Is open, the west made Scientific American. At Guilford.

Taylor, the a O f all domestic animals sheep are the greatest fertilizers, the best scaven­ gers and the easiest kept with the least expense of any live stock on the farm, says W. Watson In Wool Mar­ kets and Sheep. My owu experience has taught me Hint they are not only the farmer’s relief from hard work, but that they will pay for all the care and all the feed that are given them In I the way of manure. There can be found on almost every farm in the laud some rough and hilly ground that Is not producing as it should, and all that land could in a short time be made as valuable as the rest by the pasturing and feeding of a few sheep thereon, for they will seek the highest points, and there they will scatter their manure better and evener than can be done in any other way. It is my opinion that a farm can maintain a flock of sheep, say one sheep to every two acres, at compara tively no cost whatever, and they will bring him from $3 to $5 per head each year, so that on every farm of 100 acres 50 sheep can be kept, and they will pay in manure for every bit of feed and all the care, and the farmer Is ahead from $150 to $200 each year. I believe the worst trouble experi­ enced by many shepherds is the feed­ ing of corn to their sheep. Corn should never be fed to breeding sheep under any circumstances. The best and cheapest feed is bran and oats mixed equal parts with good clover hay or corn fodder, Good shelter from storms should not be neglected. They must also have good water to drink, for that is as necessary as feed. A llow ft horse a reasonable time to rest after feed lug. Dwyer by Colonel F. C.

I have no Intention or going Into the racing business. I have my hands full at present with my own line. Any horse that I will buy will be merely for my ow n use and for my family. No. I have not bought any ‘J year-olds nor have I been In Wall street.” HINTS FOR FARMERS BRE E D IN G O F SWINE.
