As the time for weaning approaches the shepherd should allow the pasture to Improve unless It Is already at Its best Such desired Improvement can be secured'.by removing a portion of the stock for a [few weeks. When separated ^rora their dams the lambs had best be allowed to remain In the pasture to which ihey have been accustomed. Avoid Worry and Grief. If this Is done, ^nd a few old ewes that have not raised lambs the present season, of which nearly every flock has more or less, ,be allowed to remain with the vounesters. very much of the worry and grief of the latter may be avoided, and their movements from point to point rendered comparatively easy. The old sheep will lead the way to the troughs of bran and grain that are part of the outfit of every sheep raiser who Is forced to depend upon cured feed during the winter months. The morning Is the best time for separating the lambs from the flock, which should be shut In a dry lot the previous evening. This latter precaution will save much Inconvenience from swelled udders of the ewes, which should be kept on scant pasturage for several days to reduce the secretion of milk. A careful watch should be kept over them, and where appearances Indicate the approach of overdistension of the udder, It should be promptly emptied by hand In the, majority of cases the precaution against accumulation of milk will be all that Is necessary. Some shepherds advise that the lambs be turned with their mothers after one day's separation, remaining only long enough to remove the accumulated milk. Practical In Small Flocks. Such a course Is practical, however, only In small flocks, and even with these has Its disadvantage In prolonging the time required for becoming reconciled to separation on the part of both dam and offspring. When thoroughly dried off the ewes should be given the best possible opportunity for thrift to Insure the success of the coupling so necessary for the reproduction of the species.

Ask Immediate Steps to Afford Federal Recognition and Protection. (Prepared by the United States Department Ot Agriculture.) Poultrymen representing the "accreditation and certification" move- '] rrumt In tho MlHdla Wo?t mot pooont ly In Chicngo, where they passed reso-! lutlons request'ng the United States1 Department of Agriculture to "take Immediate steps to afford federal rec-1 ogitlon and protection to 'the work now being carried on in the different j states under the general terms of the i Manhattan plan." Manhattan Plan. The Manhattan plan was adopted last summer at a national conference at Manhattan, Kans. In accordance with this plan, uniform rules and regulations governing the accreditation and certification of breeding flocks, baby chicks, and commercial hatcheries are being established in ail states. In the past there hns been a great difference In the standards to be met by poultrymen In the vario'us states before their flocks and hatch- j erles were eligible for accreditation or j certification. This not only served t<51 retard the progress of the Industry, but it unfniriy shielded some poultrymen In the states having less stringent rules than others. The public has come to regard the words "accredited" and "certified" as indicative of superior quality, but due to lack of fed-1 eral or state supervision many flocks I and hatcheries were adveHlsed falsely aa being "accredited" or "certified." Urge Co-operation. It was also resolved at the meeting , to request poultry and .farm Journals' do co-operate In the campaign against' misleading advertising by breeders | and commercial hatcheries that had not met the state requirements for certification and accreditation.

The success or failure of a crop la often determined by the preparation of the seed bed and the early cultivation. The beginning of proper cultivation Is In the careful preparation of the seed bed because It is hardly possible to get the soli In proper condition after the seed have been , planted. "Three things are necessary for the germination and growth of all seed," ays C. It. Hudson of the farm demonstration division at North Caro linn State college. "These nre moisture, .folr an<l sufficient warmth. The first two nre secured through good preparation of the seed bed while the warmth mny be influenced by the same process. If the soil has been gradually deepened year nfter year by careful plowing, breaking the land should always be followed by harrowing or disking given. If possible, within 24 hours after the plowing. Then the soil needs to settle so that the seed bed will be hard after which another harrowing Is given to re-establish the mulch." - Cultivation ufter the seed are plunted Is not only to keep down weeds and grass which would take up the moisture and plant food and shade the crop, but, also to keep the top soil open to mnke more plnnt food available and to give help In warming the soil. Weeds are more difficult to erad lcate after they have grown nn Inch or two nbove the soil. Mr. Hudson urges the use of the weedef or harrow Immediately after ruins as one of the most effectual and economical cultivations that may be-givon. Maintaining the soil rnnleh Is one of the important things during the summer. If the soil crust is kent loose, very little other cultivation la needed.
