FITTING THE EWES
FOR EARLY LAMRS.
Among the problems tlmt confront
♦he early lamb grower the one of feed
ing holds a prominent place. It Is
necessary to keep the sheep In good
condition, yet not too fat, and after
the lambs are dropped to force both
sheep and lambs to their greatest ca
pacity'until the Inmbs are ready for
market, writes II. P. King in Country
'Gentleman. How this can be done
(best and also most economically is a
.question on which there might be
great difference of opinion, but It is
my purpose here to describe a method
that has been applied successfully for
^several years and one which seems
economical.
As soon as the sheep are housed in
.the fall they are fed clover hay in the
iinornlng and corn fodder at night, care
Ibeing taken to feed only what they
iwlll eat up clean.
■ They have free access to salt and
water all the time. The cornstalks
were grown in drills about three feet
apart, on which a good many enrs
have formed. The stalks from the
parts of the Held in general on which
grew the poorest and smnllest ears are
fed before lambing and those with the
best ears after. This avoids feeding
jtoo much corn before the heavier feed-
ling is begun. The sheep have no .diffi
culty in husking the corn or getting
lit off the cob, anil they certainly waste
‘less than the ordinary corn sheller.
'This feeding Is continued with little
variation until a few days after the
llambs are dropped unless bean pods
are available. In which case they are
substituted occasionally for the night
‘feeding of fodder.
As soon ns possible after the Inmbs
:are dropped the sheep with lambs are
iplaced in pens by themselves and
'heavier feeding is begun. At first only
a light feed of oats and bran is given
PIG FEEDING METHODS.
Importance of Water and Exercise In
Getting Results.
Kts'p your pig on Ills feet sufficiently
after a meal till lie has digested bis
food In Ills stomach, says Professor
Dietrich of the Illinois experiment sta
tion. That means to give him exercise.
Keep your pig running around in the
barnyard picking over manure. Make
him run to the back end of the farm
looking for more food. It is not good
practice to feed him all lie will eat
anyway. Keep him hungry so he will
keep awake.
Water Is of greater Importance than
dry food— corn, for instance. It costs

The targe Yorkshire breed of hogs
is noted for extreme length anil
depth of body, from which can bo
taken large pieces of meat suitable
for bacon. They are not as broad
ns the lard type of hog across the
shoulders, backs and hams. While
not early maturing hogs, they are
rapid growers and thrive well on
pastures. They are good breeders,
good mothers and produce large
litters regularly. The illustration
shows a good two-yeur-old sow.
The Dorset sheep Is n survival of
a white faced, horned, short wooled
English breed that has descended

than the Down race. The ewes are
prolific and produce their young

lonee a day, but this is gradually in-
icreased until they are fed both rnoru-
ilug and night all they will stand. Any
(Indication of overfeeding, however,
will cnuse a drop in the feeding for a
few days. Then, in connection witli
this feeding of oats and bran, more
corn fodder is fed and stalks having
the best enveloped enrs of corn. This
feeding is continued until the lambs I
are shipped. Then the sheep are at
once sorted out into pens by them I
selves and put back on the old feed
of hay and stnlks and kept so until
they are turned out in the spring.
This method of feeding saves a great
expense in the handling of the corn,
•nd the heavy feeding is continued
only duriug the time that Is necessary
for growing the Inmbs—a period of
from five to nine weeks. It is often
necessary, however, to stop the feed
ing of cornstalks at intervals of a
few days before lambing, as the sheep
are apt to become too fat and have
more milk than the young lambs can
take at first. In general, the better!

practically nothing where corn costs
n great deal of money. That means
we should feed the pig water. Here,
again, is one of the answers to the
question why the fall pig does not
prove so profitable, simply because the
weather is cold. The cold weather
does not ullow the pig to drink enough
water. He loses his appetite for water
and won’t drink enough when you
give him dry feed and turn him loose
at the water trough.
If the pigs won’t drink enough wa
ter make the feed Into a slop aud
make them drink it. In summer we
have the other phase of the trouble—
they drluk too much. The fact they
drink too much in the summer is not
as had as the fact they drink too little
In the winter.
Nine-tenths of all the scrubby pigs
and runts are so because they are
ovqrfed and not fed properly. They
are often overfed on protein. There
Is no quicker way to make a runt or
crippled pig or to kill him in fact than
to overfeed him on protein. Yet it Is
absolutely necessary to
growing pigs on protein,
arc full grown they do not need much
protein.
I hnve spent a good share of the past
six years at the station working out
how to feed properly. We have pub
lished part of It In circular form—cir
culars 120 and 133. They give t.lio
quantities according to maximum gain
—that is, when pig's nre being fattened
for market. One should never feed
more than seven-tenths of a pound of
digestible crude protein per 100 pofands

tentlis pounds for pigs going to mar

months old. In the case of pigs for
Through Ridicule She Lost the Con
fidence of Her Children.
The mater was talking to my
aunt the other day. I happened to
overhear what they were saying.
I couldn’t help it. The mater was
complaining because Clifford and I
don’t tell her things, don’t conlide
in her what we’re doing and what
we’re going to do and what we want
to do.
It’s quite true. We don’t! But I
don’t think it’s out fault. I believe
it is due to another of the mater’s
mistakes. When we were kids, of
course, we had all sorts of mighty
ideas. ClitTord meant to ho presi
dent of the United States, and I
meant to carve out a career with
my sword and be a major general at
least—the sort of rot, you know,
that you do talk when you’re a silly
little thing.
Well, the mater used to laugh at
us. 1 remember quite distinctly
once 1 said something about what I
would do when I was a general, and
she said:
"What a ridiculous child you are!
You’ll never make a soldier!” *
And she told the pater about it,
and he laughed too. You don’t
know how that upset me. T know
that I was a silly little child and
that I was talking awful rot, bet I
don’t think they need have ridi
culed me like that. Anyway, after
a little hit both Clifford and I
couldn’t help feeling that it wasn’t
good enough. We left off saying
anything to the mater or pater
about what we wanted to he. Then
we began to keep our own counsel
about what we were actually doing.
And now we’ve got into n regular
habit of minding our own business

Resolutions of Respect
To the Worshipful Master, Wardens
and Brethren of Carroll Lodge No.
69, Free and Accepted Masons:
Your committee in offering this
tribute of respect to our decased
brother, Enoch S. Davis, cannot but
feel our inability to do the subject
justice. Realizing sensibly to speak
upon death, opens a boundless field
of life, earth and heaven; time and
eternity; home and the grave; as
each address us. Brother Davis,
good natured, always greeting you
with a smile, was never out of
humor.
Smypathy and sociability were
characteristic marks of his daily life
and he believed in a great loving
Father of the universe, and that all
who would put their trust in Him,
would be mutually rewarded. The
bruised and oppressed could turn to
him in every frame of heart or mind
for encouragement or cheer, for his
mouth his hand and his heart were
always on the side of the downcast
or the oppressed.
Brother Davis was just a man,
his youthfulness never grew old, but
simply matured, his heart was al
ways young. He was faithful to
every duty, devoted to every obli
gation, not simply in the Lodge
room, like this, but in the greater
lodge, extending from east to west,
between the north and south, from
the surface of the earth to the high
est heavens, were marks of his
everyday life, and greater than all,
he loved his fellow-man and his
many virtues will live in the hearts
of his brethren.
While we know his life is closed
and sealed with a golden clasp with
the strong grip of the paw of the
Lion of the Tribe of Jadah, and his
spirit rests with the God who gave

Thunder and Rain.
The downpour of rain that some
times follows a flash of lightning is

their electrical charge, but Mr.
Laine, a Finnish observer, concludes
that the thunder jars the drops to-
S ether. Near Vasa a heavy thun-

one afternoon, and. ns the sun was

Brother Enoch S. Davis was born
in North Carolina on the first day
of September, 1818, moved to Geor
gia in 1828, and married Miss Sarah
P. Walker of Coweta county, in the
year of 1837. He became a mem
ber of the Masonic fraternity at
Rotherwood, Ga. in the year 1859,
later joining Carroll Lodge in 1905,
of which he was a member at the
time of his death, and a true con
servative member he was.
In 1864, he went from Carroll
county to the civil war between the
states, and was a faithful servant of
the Confederacy. He returned to
his home after the unpleasantness
and lived an honrable, upright citi
zen, serving his community as
miller at Coleman’s mill near Clem,
Ga. for more than thirty years. In
1897 his beloved, wife was chilled
by the icy hand of death, leaving
him and several of their children to
mourn her loss, thirteen children in
all, of which number ten have pre-
ceeded them to the unknown, leav-
| ing only three to see his body laid

Pasture Makes Cheap Pork.
' The Iowa experiment station was
able to make 750 pounds of gain on
hogs from one- acre of clover, and it
•was estimated by the station that by
the use of plenty of pasture gdips
could be made for a little over 3 cents
per pound.
“More dairy cows, better feed
and more butter fat" is a good
motto for every farmer.
When one takes iuto consider
ation the difficulty in buying sat
isfactory cows there is little
question that under nearly all
«{• conditions it pays to raise well
bred heifers as a basis for
maintenance and improvement
of the dairy herd.
The cow eats today and she
pays for her feed at tonight's
milking. No other farm animal
gives such prompt return for
feed and labor. That is oue rea
son why a herd of dairy cows
should be on every farm.
Your winter cow is always the
I most profitable, and it must be
