Notes of the Sheepfold.
Sheep must play an important
part in the restoration of fertility
to the -worn-out grain -raising areas
of the eountry.
A common error of the inexper-
ienced breeder is failure to provide
good shelter. Lanibs cannot make
good gains with wet feet or -soggy
fleece.
'One man can feed 400 lambs to a
finish between fall and spring more
easily than le can feed, milk and
clean up after ten dairy cows.
Avoid crowding the lambs in the
feeding quarters. They- need a lot
of room on account of their natural
habit of crowding.
The ram should be in perfect con-
dition, but not fat, at mating.
The true breeder is always want-
ing to improve his flock and aside
from the love of sheep ehe profits
have stinaulated his efforts to ha,ve
better ones.
Notes of the Hog Lot.
Tankage makes, healthy hogs and
gives them bone and muscle.
Do not keep too many pigs' to-
gether and, conapel them to sleep
in one nest.
The most economical gains in nig
feeding are ,obtainecl by a judicious
blending of nitrogeneous and car-
Crossieg may improve the hogs for
the feed lot alone, but not for the
purpoie of perpetuating their kind.

There have been instances of
blindness resulting from extracting -
teeth, but these are rare. On the
other hand, spedalists in eye troub-
les have frequently found the
trouble with their patients' eyes to
come from decaying teeth.
One specialist suspected his pa-
tient's eye trouble was due to bad
teeth and made a careful examin-
ation of the mouth. So far as could
be found there were no bad teeth;
still, the eye specialist was not sat-
hted and had his patient's inouth
iehotographed 15y the X-ray. The
result of this proved the correctness
of the specialist's diagnosis, for be,

ered some abscesses.
They were not of a nature to make
the patient suspect he had them,
but they were acting on the optic
nerves and were really all that was
making the trouble with his eye-
sight. Eye sPecialists are getting
