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.

"Yes, uncle," replied the boy, "I'm
