DAtiEV CO, OF CANADA, LTO„ HAMILTON, CAY7ACA, ON THE FARM Wintering Breeding Ewes, Good comfortable housing and jud. icioue- feeding are the two cardinal principles of successfully wintering the breeding ewes. The change from grass and forage to hay and grain should be cautiously made to avoid deranging the functions of the ewe's digestive systems. An abrupt change of diet often overtakes the ewe'sdr' - gestive system and causes impaction or other serious ailments. It is very important that we exercise care and skill in changing the flock from pasture and forage crops to winter rations, writes W. Milton I{elley. During the average season the flock should go into winter quarters aboub the first week in December. Up to this time the grass and forage furnish- es considerable green food for the ewes, but the frozen condition of the feed after this date renders it watery and less nourishing, and without ex- tra care and feed the ewes fail to get sufficient food to maintain the desired flesh condition. The small amount of grass and forage obtained during the month of November will help to modify the influence of the dry feed upon the organs of digestion and fur- nish succulence which is so essential to the health of the ewes. With pas- ture and forage crops supplemented by clover or alfalfa hay during the late fall there is little danger of de- ranging the functions of digestion when the ewes are placed in their win- ter quarters and fed dry hay and grain. It is unwise economy tesave hay and grain feeds for winter feed- ing and allow the ewes to become run down in flesh condition during the fall. It is equally unwise to not get them accustomed to the dry feed a few weeks before they are taken up for the winter. Ewes that go into their winter quar- ters in an unthrifty and low flesh con- dition cannot bring good vigorous lambs in the spring. Then again the ewes that are in low flash at lambing time cannot supply the necessary nourishment to raise as good lambs as the individuals that are in good flesh condition at this period. It is clearly to our interest to have the ewe flock in good vigorous flesh condition dur- ing the winter so that they may bring good robust lambs and supply them with plenty of nourishment. Give Plenty of Exercise. Overcrowding the ,ewe flock during the winter months is a frequently cause of severe losses. It not only causes the ewes to become sluggish, bub many times it increases the tem- perature of the barn and causes the ewes to begin sweating and when they are turned out they take cold and develop catarrh. If possible they should be separated into flocks of from 20 to 40 ewes. In this way there will be less danger of injury through crowding and they will exer- cise more freely. Breeding ewes re- quire plenty of exercise and every day when the weather is favorable they should be turned out and allowed to roam over the yards and pasture. Plenty lambof out -door exercise and fresh air will insure a crop of vigorous s. Many of the troubles experienced at lambing time are the result of rough handling and treatment during the period of pregancy. ' It shows very poor management, when the ewes are afraid of the owner. Running and crowding through doors is likely to result in dead or deformed lambs. at lambing time. A few weeks of good treatment and quiet handling gives the ewes confidence in the shepherd and prevents losses at yeaning. It requires the hand of a master shepherd to judiciously feed a flock of breeding ewes during the winter. A roughage ration of any kind is not suf- ficient. A too heavy ration of grain feeds is equally dangerous, A light feeding of grain feed will produce the best results. For a grain ration I prefer a mixture of corn, oats and wheat bran. A mixture of the vari- ous kinds of home grown grains will supply about the necessary amount of protein and carbohydrates to give good results, especially if fed in connection with clover or alfalfa hay. Corn should be fed sparingly as it tends bo produce too much fat which is more in- jurious than beneficial at this period. Given plenty of good roughage and a light grain ration of wholesome farm feed supplemented with a little oil and some root crops or corn en- silage for succulence the ewes should then be in ideal flesh condition at lambing time.
