Sew York World. Raising Sheep. How I raise ray sheep was the topic of a successful wool-grower at the meeting of the Iowa live-stock men. He said: "1 would prefer pure bred stock, bat as that is expensive I usually get. grades and breed up, for it takes but a short time to breed up a good ilock. I have always used pure bred iverino rams, be ing convinced that for profit, where sheep are kept in focks of 100 or mcije, there is no equal ! to the Merino and its crosses. I aim to couple so as to have lambs dropped as soon as grass comes in , spring. I want lambs to come early, yet not before there is pasture enough so that the ewes will have plenty of milk. ! Dur ing lambing timu I keep a close watch, and if a. lamb is dropped unless it is warm weather-fl see thafit goes to the stable at once and as soon as possible see that it sucks after which no further care is needed, except in storms. I aim to castrate all lambs before three weeks old, and wean them by September 1st. During summer I know nothing better than good blue grass and that! kept pret ty short, as shee-p do not like long grass. 1 never feed grain in summer; yet when pasture is short, I think a little grain would pay. I feed lightly at first in the fall, but by the'time winter sets in, I aim to give full feed of about one: bushel of corn to 100 head per day, with plenty of hayl; while on ! dry feed in winter . it is important that sheep should have plenty of water. When the cold fall rains com mence they should be kept dry; no sheep will thrive when its coat of wool is soaked full of , water. Good care and shelter are just as important as good feeding, for ' sheep well sheltered will - shear from one to two pounds more per i . fleece than when exposed to theweather, and the wool will sell for a higher price in the market. With fine-wool sheep the wool can be left on until quite lutein the season first, because there is great danger of losing sheep by cold storms, li snearea too eany in tne season; ana, second, the wool is not in ths best con dition until tli3 "grease" raises, which will not be until the weather is quite warm. We usually sell a? soon as the clip is ready. I think the Mer)no sheep and their cresses the most profitable, be cause they, beihg much smaller, eat less, and shear more than the coarser ones. You can keep at least five fine wools on i the same feed you keep three coarse ones. proof and well protected against beating rains. Rats will destroy more gram than the most liberal estimate allows for loss, and the crib should be so protected as to prevent them from getting in through any source. ; V. t A ripe, dry onion contains at least eighty per cent, of water, and when a large mess of them are together they are likely to "sweat," And yet, in order to prese.ve onions during tne winter, tne great point is to keep them dry. If in a cold climate, it is as well to suffer them to freeze solid, and stay frozen un til wanted in the spring. j It j. may be surprising to some farmers to be told that filling a horse's rack with hay, as some do, and permitting a con stant supply' to remain before the animal, j is one of the most probable means of pro- : ducing disease; and the most positive in Tendering the animal unfit for fast wTork. iiarge supplies of hay have the effect of making the stomach large and wak. Everybody knows, too. that the ventila tion of the stable should be as perfect as possible, io that all the odors and gases will have an opportunity to escape.: j If the drinking w ater be ice-cold it will require the consumption of much extra feed (fuel) to bring it up to blood heat in the stomach. The animal is taxed to digest and assimilate this extra load of food above that required for the ordi nary purposes of .sustaining life and making muscle and fat. Would it not pay for the farmer, in addition to warm s'ables, to have sirne method of warming the waterjor his flock? Wood and, coal are certainly cheaper fuel than hay or grain. At least it will pay to give w ater fresh from the well, and not allow it to stand until chilled. To allow them to drink from a fro en stream or pond is wasteful and barbarous. . . One may keep ten or twelve fowls with profit who could not double or treble this number successfully, because with a larger number all the difficulties which arise, such as want of cleanliness, the presence of -Vermin, impure air, and risk of infection, increase in a much larger ratio than does the number in the flock. But if one has succeeded with a small flock there is no reason why he should not do so with several flocks, if each is kept in just the same manner as the original one. Afterward the flocks. may be enlarged, but as this is the very point on which young poultry raisers fail the greatest caution should be observed in adding to the number of fowls kept .in each coop or house or yard. vou so much'r" "No, sir, lVn kbow." !
