Dividing the 1 lock. There nro n few thing that one must get ready for tho flock's use In winter. ,Tho first thing to consider la apace, aaya Michigan Farmer. Twelve square feet Is tunplc room for a breeding ewe In winter quarter. The flock cuu all remain together until tho lambs begin to nppenr. In aouio eases It 1 a good tiling to divide tho cwea that nro about to Iamb from the flock. Sometime the flock uiuat be divided Into two or more classes. A good division would bo the inalu flock, tho ewea thnt evidently ,wlll aoon lamb, tho ewe alrendy lamb ed. These divisions may be best made by use of panel or by tho placing of tho feed racks, l'ermancnt divisions are not advisable alnco tbe areas of the epacos will be constantly changing. nations For Stallions. Itaw eggs afford a very nourishing, cooling and easily digested feed for talllons when doing a largo business Jn the atud. A half dozen may be bro ken nnd stirred Into the grain ration eight and morning to great advantage In many canes. The grain ration may be somewhat diminished when egga are fed. Such a ration adds somewhat to !the expense or cost of keep, but a tingle uddltlonal foal will more than pay cost of all the eggs that any stal lion will require during the entire sea on. Scours In rlas. A common ailment among young pigs la scours. Llko thumps, It la brought on by too much rich food, augmented by dump, chilly boddlng. There are many ao called remedies for scours, such as sulphur, parched corn or parch ed flour, etc. Perhaps the best treat ment la to shut off the swill bucket, which Is usually the direct cause, keep tbe bedding dry and give plenty of fre'b air, freah water and dry feed.

Row to Handle tbo llrrnehf and Via done Animal. When a sow becomes Incorrigible Usually the wisest course Is to fatten and aend her to market, write It. I I lean In National Mtockman.

Iler unusual vitality rxerts Itself III mischief a well ns the rearing of offspring. Tho troublesome sow usually live better limn the rest, for sluv has her share, and she gets as much more us she can. It Is thought to ! u wusto of time to attempt to curb a vicious sow. However, there are occuslons when wo very much want to do so. The breaehy sow at tbo first may t tallied by keeping her for a time In a strong IncloMiiro until she loses her couruue, so to speak. livery lmg rslser should have n yard or building especial ly adapted for this pun""1" and from which no animal con posHlldy eseajw!.

If you have n sow so vicious In forcing luclosuies ami eotlng chick ens u 'to be past redemption In the ordinary sense try this; Fasten her ems over the eyes as described, then wire a light ring three luclie In diam eter firmly to her snout. This I a drastic measure and should not bo usiil except In extreme cuses. If prop erly done she will not eat chlckeua or scale fences, and her meekness of de meanor will be remarkable. Truth About Kormans. Thu use of the word Norman ns ap plied to the draft horse has ls-eu com mon In tho rnlted rilati-s for over half a century. This U due largely to the fact that early liiiortcr gave that name to draft horses brought over from Normandy, France. However, there Is no such breed In France, and tho use of the word Is Incorrect. The l'ercberon Is a distinct brifd and is ao regardiil by the French government and Is protected by the government and u stud tHik association. There ure several other distinct draft breed in Fram e, ns the Houlonnals, Ilreton, 11 cardy and 1'olton, but there 1 no Nor man breed. Most of the horses brought to America from France of tho draft sort are 1'erchcrous, but they are very often corelessly referred to a Nor man or l'erchcrou-Noruiau. Horses of tho draft aort ihut aro from France, but are not Fercherons, muy be regis tered in tho French draft stud book of Uil country, but not In the l'ercberon atud book.

Knttrnlns Hoses on Cottonseed Meal. In futteulug hog on cottouseed meal, aays Farm and Unncli, don't add any wheat brun, but corn chops will bo ab solutely necessary. Tbo wheat bruu Is too tilling lu lta effect and not rich eiiougu lu nourishing mntcrlal for fat tening hogs. L'so one part of cotton seed meal to four parts of corn chops, well soured, and give as a thin slop. Vhent Ilrnn Good For Foals. Itrau In very aultnblo as a supple mentary concentrated food for weaned foals and young horses, says Farm Progress. There Is nothing better than a llttlo brau for mixing with the crush ed oats when foals are being brought ou to aolld food, brau being easily di gested by a foal when the latter Is able to deal with aolld food. In the case of sick horses and those thnt are conva lescent tlio Inclusion of some bran In their diet proves very beneficial. Ou account of Its palatablllty bran tempts the appetite of sick horses more easily than other dry foods. Ration For tha llor.e. From ten to twelve pouuds of oats, divided Into three feeds, ahould be suffi cient concentrates for tho carriage horse for one day's feeding, says Farm Jour nal. From ten to twelve pounds of hay should bo allowed In order to bring the total weight of the ration within the limit of twenty to twenty-two pounds. Iiran mashes, fed once or twice a week, Lave a cooling effect upon the system. Tart of the hay may be cut and mois tened before feeding, 4he remainder be ing fed long, as tho carriage horse has plenty of time for masticating hla food, tlonarbnara For Hora.a. Fodder corn, thickly grown, so that only small nubbins form, and cured so there Is no dust, Is one of the beat kinds of roughage for horse feeding. For stallions, Idle horses, brood mares and growing colts corn forage of good Quality, cured right. Is one of the very best and most economical substitutes for timothy hay. Farm Journal. Feed For Fattening; I.amba, Dry corn gives better results than soaked corn for sheep, owing to the better secretion of saliva la eating the dry grain. Oats prove a satisfactory ration when given to fattening lambs, but It requires about 23 per cent mors oats than corn for a given gain. It requires about twice as much corn as bran for lambs. Hoots ahould bo fed In combination with grain. A. ratios of equal parts corn and oats or two parts oats to one of corn, fed with roots, Is an economical ration for fat tening lambs.

Moore of Jameatown, N. D., In Atito Advocate and Country Honda. As ft general thing, very little attention Is paid to the subject of good ronds la North Dakota. Only exceptionally In a wet aeaon Is there much necessity for the problem to be considered sorlonsly from the standpoint of traffic and lical transpor tation. Tbe aubjects of tho advantage of wide tires, of the natural curves which the roads ought to take In order to facilitate the baullng of heavy loads and of a long even pull over compara tively level ground. In preference to abort steep ascents In a atralxht direc tion toward the gral, are very little con sidered or thought of apparently by the farmers, the very class of people who should be most deeply Interested In such questions. ' Even on these prairie, a slight Im petus was given to the good road move ment by the adoption of the bicycle. The use of tho bicycle has somewhat died out as a recreation among people of wealth, culture and education, and as a consequence tbe use of It has ceas ed to be so much of a factor In the cre ation or preservation of good roads. Tbe automobile has been more than a substitute as an Incentive to Interest In the subject of good roads everywhere among that class of people who are known as "bustlers" and who make things "get along some" when they want to obtain any desired object. The probability is that a dozen automobile enthusiasts In any community will do more In accomplishing the creation and preservation of highways presenting a smooth, round, bard surface and few difficult grades at all seasons of the year than G00 farmers, although the latter should be more strictly Interest ed In the same problem. But the farm ers seem to lack organization and Just DAD BOADS KEEP THE 7A.BMEB POOB. ' how to go about It to obtain the objects desired, or else they really have not considered the subject enough to get enthusiastic over lt In other words, I think the diffusion of the automobile throughout the country going to be the principal factor In the furtherance of the movement in favor of good high ways. Of course a campaign among the farmers ought never to be neglected. They use the roads more than any oth er class of people, and good roads are more vital problems with them than with any other class. Those Interested ' In the subject of good roads, therefore, ought never to neglect an opportunity to hammer away at the mass of the people on the subject and convince them by every possible means tbat the problem of good highways for pedes trians, horsemen, bicycles and auto mobiles Is one of the most essential fac tors in the upbuilding of the wealth and property of the country. I think Instruction on the subject ought to be given in public schools, and especially In the country schools, so that every boy might understand how important. In a commercial way, this subject Is and how to go about It to improve the local condition of the roads In his Im mediate neighborhood. The demonstration by machines, etc., . of tbe making of good roads by special trains going through the country and stopping here and there In different lo calities Is, of course, an excellent prop osltlon, but lt would take a century If this were the only means to accomplish anything In tbe way of results. Tho country is too vast. The agricultural department puts out a large quantity of literature on that subject which is accessible to any on baying Interest In it and who will send for It, but very few of the class of peo ple whom lt is desired to reach know about lt or will take the trouble to send to the department for literature. In struction upon the subject ought to be forced upon them through the columns of the farmer's paper, periodicals and popular magazines which are every where reaching tbe homes of the west ern farmer at this time. No political speech, Fourth of July oration, Memo rial day address or Thanksgiving ser mon ought to be considered or allowed to be delivered unless It contained a good rousing paragraph or two on the. right aide of the good roads movement.
