Thousands upon thousands of sheep die ench jenr from a great variety of preventable causes. The killer dog Is not the chief cause of loss. lie may cause perhaps 1 per cent of the deaths due to accidental causes, but the most Ferlous losses are attributable to lgno rnnce nnd cnrelessness upon the part of the ow ner or his shepherd. Among the chief causes of loss may be men tioned lack of shelter for lambing ewes nnd their newborn lambs. A sud den snow or rain storm coming nt lambing time often' finds ewes and Iambs exposed, and ninny denths result. PASTURAGE CUTS FEED BILLS Cost of Pork Production Can Be Re duced by Providing Suitable Pasture for Hogs. Fnnners can reduce the cost of pork production next yenr by providing n sultnble pasture for their hogs, says V. IT. Peters of the nnlmnl husbnndry division, University farm. Most pas ture grasses nre rich ln protein. The call for high grain rations Is therefore less urgent a matter to be taken Into consideration In those days of falling prices for hogs and pigs. Alfalfa and hrome grnss nre best for growing pigs, hut no matter how good n pnsture Is some grain must be fed If the hogs nre to thrlve.nnd make profitable gains.

Promoters, en couraged by the sale of lots, would spend a little money In making a small clearing, often many miles from the nenrest actual settler, would mark out some streets and put up, la the midst of burned stumps, a hotel and a bank. Favorite sites for "paper towns," ac cording to John Bach McMaster's "His tory of the People of the United Stntes," were at the mouths of small streams. ,The buildings of one such town. Port Sheldon, were of large frnrue construction and well finished without, but the bank was empty and the hotel tenantless. Port of Havre wns another such "pa per town" on Lake Erie, near the mouth of Maunice Hay. But the site chosen wns low and marshy, and a score of abandoned cabins were all thnt marked Its streets. Another wns "White Rock City," believed to be on the shore of Lake Huron, at the mouth of a fine river. The maps represented a flourishing city on a wide river, with piers running out Into a hnrbor, but one, constlng on a trip along Lake Hu ron who stopped to see this city, found none. - .. .. OF INTEREST TO POULTRY GROWERS The greatest food and medicine on earth for baby chicks is sour milk, ac cording to poultry grower. More chicks die during Infancy of white diarrhea than perhaps all other dis orders combined. The acid in sour milk Is a poison to the germs of this dreaded bowel trouble, while the sour milk Itself Is relished by the young birds, and It Is one of the most nour ishing of nil feeds. Under npparently the most sanitary conditions chicks from the incubator or from hatchings by hens will con tract serious bowel troubles. Clenn conditions and careful disinfecting will often check this trouble nnd lessen danger, but they will not always act as a cure preventive. Many careful scientific and practical tests have proved beyond doubt that sour milk fed to baby chicks is one of the very best preventives, and even cures, for bowel troubles. It ia important to begin feeding the sour milk to the chicks as soon as they will drink anything. It is even recom mended to pour a few drops of the sour milk down the throat of ench chick as soon as It Is placed ln the brooder nnd before It is old enough to drink or eat. The sour milk acts Im mediately as a bowel disinfectant, thoroughly cleansing the digestive tract and starting the young bird out In life free from bowel disease and vigorous In every way. .Chicks ln the brooder or with the hen may have sour milk before them all the time to their benefit, the milk serving both as a medicine and a food. Not only should baby chicks be giv en all the sour milk they will drink dally, but It is well to use It in mix ing their mash feeds. It Is as valuable as sweet milk as a food, and much safer to use with chicks. And there is no better food and medicine for growing chicks and laying hens. Dugouts in Colombia.

BOOTS TWO BREEDS IN SAME FLOCK Crossing la Prevented by Keeping Male of One Breed One Year and Another the Next. (Prepared by the United Btates Depart ment of Aipieulture.) While keeping two distinct breeds of poultry In one yard without mix ing the breeds seems 'difficult. It can be accomplished easily and with satis factory results, as shown by the ac count of an experience Just received from a New England poultry raiser. One of the kinds kept is a so-called egg breed, the other being a general purpose variety of poultry. The method of preventing crossing la as follows : One year, roosters of the egg-laying breed are retained and used for breed ing, no other males being kept The I . I r ' Ft . yH. . jwK4W-' v. v- First Prize White Rock Cockerel. following year roosters of only the general-purpose stock are kept. The difference In the color of eggs of the two breeds selected Is so great that hntching eggs have always been select ed with a certainty as to the breed laying them. The plan necessitates in troducing new males, but the advan tages of keeping the blood lines of two breeds separate outweigh the slight cost of purchasing the males. The de partment of agriculture points out that when this method is followed on two neighboring farms an exchange of roosters might readily be arranged. REMODELING POULTRY HOUSE Many Stuffy Old Structures Can Be Rebuilt With Little Trouble Cost la Small. Many farms have old Ftyle, closed up poultry houses with poor light and ventilation ; also old sheds and -other buildings of little use for other pur poses that can be remodeled or built over with little difficulty mto satis factory poultry houses, according to the United States department of ag riculture. A building of that kind usually ca be made over for less than one-half the cost of constructing a new one, and if the work Is well done should give -Just as good results. .Further more, the work performed in remodel ing the building serves as a good poultry club demonstration in poultry house construction. KEEP ALL PROFITABLE HENS Close Attention and Study Must Be Given to Each Individual Fowl Some Are Layer. Keep all hens as long as they are profitable. This calls for close atten tion and the study of each Individual hen, but It is work that pays. The man who turns off every hen that reaches the age of two years is pretty sure to sacrifice some of his best layers. Clean, dry litter, clean water pans and mash hoppers are essential to the health of good layers. . All air that is admitted for ventila tion should be so handled that it will not blow on the fowls, especially when they are on the roost at night One of the best ways to furnish green food Is to hang a cabbage head Just high enough so that the fowls will have to Jump for it. A warm, comfortable henhouse will do much to secure a good egg yield, for fowls that are not comfortable cannot lay well. There is not much danger thnt healthy, vigorous fowls will become too fat, If compelled to exercise by scratching for the groin part of their ration. It Is necessary to provide the hens with some reason for exercising ln winter because they have no incen tive to exercise naturally, as they do In summer hunting for bugs and worms, etc. - " t " -v ,i, VJUI11VV .,...t"-'"''''"''-"
