"In feeding I have hud best results
from beginning to feed a grain ration
when the young lumbs were about a
week or ten days old," writes a breeder
lu America a Agriculturist. "Adjoin
ing or In tho sheep bum there should
be an npartmout where the lumbs ruuy
be fed by themselves. It should be
separated from the apartment where
the breeding flocks nro kept by n lamb
creep, mndo by nulling narrow strips
or burs with rounded edges perpendicu
larly and having them Just fur enough
apart so thut tho young lumbs cuu puss
readily through, but through which the
old sheep ruuuut puss. If tbe sheep
bus Ao milk for the lamb, three times
out of four she will care nothing for
tho lamb, and If a lamb Is not hungry
It will care no more for Its own mother
than for any sheep In the flock, nnd the
lambs will always do better If this
feeding room, separated from tha main
flock, Is lurgo enough so that they can
siHMid a largo purt o'f their time by
themselves."

grown nt points where other varieties
failed to mature. The liurly Amber
sorghum ami Its other forms, as Im
proved Amber mid liarliest IMuck, still
remain the earliest varieties knowu lu
this country, where they have beeu cul
tivated for nearly forty years. They
require 70 to 100 days to reach maturi
ty, the time varying according to the
latitude, season and soil.
Muny different meilxxls of preparing
the soil for sorghum are practiced In
various parts of the country. In gen
eral, it may be said that the land
Fhuuld receive essentially the same
treattueut us If It w ere to be planted to l
corn or cotton. The time mid depth of
living will necessarily vary, accord
ing to the climate, season and char
acter of the soil.
As a Keneral rule, soryhum should be
sown later than corn. It should not be
sown nut 11 the soil has become quite
warm. Otherwise there Is danger of
losing lunch of the seed, liven if tlli!
seed remains uninjured, germination
takes place only slowiy uud unevenly,
uud growth Is very slow when the
weather Is cold. Weeds are likely to
overtake the young sorghum, aud
where It caunot be cultivated they
umke replanting uecessury. I'neven
germination nnd growth menu uneven
maturing, which uiakes it impossible
to hurvt'st the crop to the best advan
tage from the staixlis.lut either of the
labor required or of the quality and
quantity of the resulting forage.

The application of bordeaux mixture,
aside from preventing parasitic diseases

ably by protecting the foliage from
the Intense summer light and beat,
