Satisfaction for prices. Yours for business. EBRUARY is generally ; a busy month "with stock) farm-. ers. The weather In j the South Is usually as dlsagreeeable as any we have during the winter; and the stock needs , special attention during this month. a If stock cattle and dry cows are not given a little better feed than usual they are more than; apt to fall off in 'flesh; the older breeding -cows get, weak and become- a prey toj any one of a half dozen troubles, and' If one or two animals are lost, the; loss sustained will amount to enough to have naid -for twice the extra feed that would have been needed to keep the animals in good heart. -; Good shelter is especially needed during this month. The sleet storms which are very apt to come . are about! the worst punishment that can be given to cattle. Good shelter need not be expensive; as cold will not injure cattle to any, great extent, but the shelter must be dry and wind proof. The cold rain and hail is driving across the country; to-nightj While this is being written, and the Sunny Home man feels better pleased with himself, knowing that every animal on the farm Is completely sheltered, than he would were his "friends out hugging the fences trying not! I to ireeze. bneet lumber Is too cheap yet i for us to , neglect . our animals even It . we have no feeling for them. Neglect Now Means Loss of Lambs.; The sheep need especial care at this time when the lambs are due.' See that, the flock is completely housed In dry open sheds every night, no matter what ; the weather is in the evening. The weather has an business. - Our sows are " wintering very nicely on a good feed of rich ensilage twice per day, and what pea leaves they will clean up along with a very thin slop r of shipstuff. Of course they have their permanent pasture to run in where they secure some - grass, some grubs, cutworms, and anything else they relish that lives within a foot of' the surface. Don't forget that the horse that works steadily through February and March will be able to do good work In April when time, presses, so keep- the team at work. T " . A. L. FRENCH. R.
