SEEDING NEW MEADOWS,
One of the interesting and 01100e0e-
ful features of tile Illustration Station
work is the comparison between heavy
and light seeding of timothy and clov-
ers. When malting surveys of ;marlY
farms in each bounty ,where Illustra-
tion 'Stations are loeated it wds found
that most farmers Were' rot 'sowing
sufficient seed to give the best results,
To illustrate the advantage of heavier
seeding, particularly with -clover, on
each atation a small portion of the
field is sown to the usual amount need
In the neighborhood, which is from
two to four pounda of clover and bight
to ten pounds of timothy,, and the
larger poetion of the field sown with a
mixture of clever and timothy amount-
ing to twenty pounds per`acre. Every
illustration showed the heavier seed-
ing to gaae the heaviest erops of hay,„
The difference in growth is so notice-
able that farmers passing can see the
line between the,two lots :o a foot. On
several stationsethe clovers en the light
seeded portions were .winter killed,
while the heavy growth formed a pro-
tection to the„roots and usually with -
steed the severest winter and spring
frosta. Several operators report one-
quarter to one-third more hay on the
heavier seeding and have a inuchbet-
ter chance for a second crop of hay
or seed the same seasen.
When seeding sandy or clay looms
sow eight pounds of common Red
clover; two pounds alsike and ten
pounds of timothy per acre. In some
cases it is advisable to sow two pounds
of alfalfa in addition.
On heavy clay that is liabk to be
damp or on light, acidy sand sow
eight pounds of alsike'; two of Red
clover and ten of timothy per acre.
On black muck or peaty soil sow
eight pounds of alsike; two pounds of
Red clover; eight pounds of timothy
and two pounds of Red Top per acre.
For a nurse crop on peaty soil al;
ways Sow 'barley.
SHEEP ON THE GENERAL FARM.
Sheep have one thing in common:
with poultry: a farmer is more likely
to be successful with few than with
many. In the beginning it is a very
good plan to get only a few bre,eding
ewes, and grow into the business as
experience shows the way. One of the
cheapest' ways of starting a flock is
to secure young Western ewes and
breed them th a purebred sire of the
mutton breeds.
A purebred ram is relatively cheap,
and without -one a flock soon degen-
te .
The early lambs are the most profit-
able, but the production of such lambs
requires considerable experience and
better equipment. It would probably
be bettee for the beginning farmer to
breed his ewes for late lambing.
Sheep are the natura1 prey of para-
sites, which flourish chiefly during the
hot, dry months of summer. For this
reason sheep should not be allowed to
drink water from old stagnant pools,
but should at all times be supplied
with pure, fresh water.
Another summer precaution is to
insure plenty of green feed: Pastures
are likely to get, scant in July and
August, but the forehanded farmer
will have a field of rape ready for
them about that time. In the fall, rape
which had been seeded in the corn field
-at the time of lett nilltivati011, will
also supply pastarage at a time when
the grasses are abort.
The winter care of the dock 18 the
most critical, however. Proper she],
tea is highly essential, but expensive
buildings are net needed. Sheep 'Want
to be dry under foot, and they 49 1.10
stand draats. They are amply pro-
tected against cold weather, „Provided
the rain, snow, and wind is kept out
of their sheds.
Proper winter feeding of sheep is
quite an art, as too heavy, as well as
too light feeding is harmful. It is
eseential, that the flock go into winter
quarters in a good, thrifty condition.
Clover or alfalfa hay of good quality,
together with an ocasional addition
of corn fodder, is all the ewes will
need until about a month before lamb-
ing, if the lainbs are to be dropped
before the ewes get into pasture.
No trrain ration has giVen more sat-
isfactory results in many ' experi-
mente, than a mixture of whole oats
and bran. Both' are easily Available
on the average farm. Either half and
half or two parts of oats to one of
bran is satisfactory, and each, ewe
should receive about half a pound of
this 'mixture a day. When other rough -
ages are substituted for the alfalfa or
clover, it is best th feed grain all win-
ter long. Do not 'winter a flock by
giving them the run of the straw
stack. ,
To keep the digestive tract in good
condition root crops or corn silage
should be fed, in amounts not to ex-
ceed two to two and one-half pounds
per day. This succulent feed cm-
?
bined with plenty of exercise, is the
best tonic in. *he world. In dry Wea-
ther it is advisable to feed the rough-
age some distance from the barns or
sheds, so that the ewes will be forced
to walk around considerable. .•
The closest attention must be paid
to the flock at lambing time. Many
lambs and an occasional ewe can be
saved if the shepherd remains on the
job. Then, when the lambs are about
a week or two old, some bright day
the ram lambs should be castrated.
Week or tam later all the lambs should
be docleeda •
Lambs should beweaned when they
are 'about three or four Months of age.
Unless this is done they will nurse
until late in the fall, and cause the
evsres o go into winter quarters in
poor flesh. • •
Sheep should be sheared as soon as
the weather gets warm enough so that
„there will be no further danger' of
catching cold. About a week after
shearing, thp whole .flock should be
dipped, as the presence of lice and
ticks keep the flock thin.
The following are excellent rules for
the guidance of..beginnersin sheep
husbandry;
1. Use good purebred rams.
2. Select young ew,es. Yearlings,
two -year-olds, or perhaps three -year-
olds, are far more desirable for start-
ing a flock than older ones.
3. Discard broken -mouthed ewes and,
ewes with bad udders. '
4. Choose ewes having good size, de-
sirable forms, and dense fleeces.
5. Feed the lambs especially well
throughout the first year because a
sheep makes bis greatest growth dur-
ing this period.
6. Give the flock good care through-
out the entire year.

In getting most of these things,
order enough seed for two or three
plantings. This, of course, does riot
apply to things like squash, Musk-

which can be easily kept for winter,
such as beets Carrots cabbage par-

If you will follow this plan it Will
save you money in buying seed and
much work in planting. Don't be
tempted to try too many novelties.
Stick rather to the standard varieties
which have macle,geod. If you do net
know which thie'staridarcl vaiietieA

Another fact stands out prominent
as we lovier the ,water, level in our

will send their root down deeper into

better, in any' cage, t plan for a new
plantation. The best fruit is always
produced on wood not more than three
years old, so that after the third year
the aim shoald be to eliminate some of
the old wood with a view to prodncing
young growth to take its place. This
young growth will 'give strong buds
from which large fruit can be secured.
Planting should, be'done in the very
early spring before the buds' tart.
When planted the top should be ept
back, leaving about one-quarter of the
buds. The plant nhould be set about
one inch deeper than it was when in
the nursery, and the soil tramped well
around the roots. The soil should be
well prepared, by digging or plowing
in manure,in order to give the neces-
sary vigorous early development. The
most convenient distancefo plant is
in rows six feet apart and five feet
apart in the rows, or about .1,400
plants per acre. This permits of good
cultivation without damage to the
roots of the plant in case it is not
possible to mulch. In any Case shallow
cultivation should be practiced, par-
ticularly -with' the gooseberry, which
is a shallow rooted plant.
