Australian Sheel Branding Fluid Recommended — 'A Numbering System Suggested About Seed (lora .-' Pigs Profitable When Cared For. tOantributeti by O,atarte Department of Agriculture Toronto,). '1`he last few years the raising of sheep has been one of the most pro- Ittable branches ot live stook farm- ing, the amount of profit. depending to a great extent on the success at lambing time and Immediately after- wards, Difliculty is frequently ex- perienced in giving the necessary care to individual lambs because they are not easily recognized, In a large flock many iambs look alike, and mothers frequently disown or fail 10 care properly .for their own lambs. Australian Sheep Rraoding Fluid lteconunended. In order that needy lambs may* be easily recognized and their mothers Sound, a convenient system of mark- ing is needed. For markiug purposes Australian sheep branding fluid is. best. It can be obtained in different colors from firms who Irandle sheep supplies, such as the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers. This fluid does not Injure the wool, and shows a distinct mark for several weeks, even when exposed to the weather. It may be applied with a small stick or, better still, an ordinary machine oiling can, and slruuld be robbed in so that it will not spread: A Good System of Numbering Suggested. In marking, 0 system of number- ing le adopted. All male lambs are given an even number as 2, 4, 6, etc„ all female lambs an odd number ge 1, 0, b, eto, The lallab's quluber Is uaade on fts back 'with falrly large figures, and the mother is also mark- ed on the back with the same num- ber as her lamb or lambs. If she has two lambs, a ewe number 6 and a ram number 8, she will have the figures 6 and 8 placed so that seen from behind -one will be above the other or nearer the head than the other, to show 5 and 8 rather than 68. These numbers are best put on a few hours after the lambs are born. Benefits of the System Described. Some of the advantages of a sys- tem such as this have been found to be: One quickly gets to know the individual lambs by their numbers and their development is watched with interest; good mothers and poor mothers are known by their lambs and how they care for and feed them. This quality is often overlooked in sheep but is most important. For a ewe loosing a single lamb a needy twin can easily be round to take its place and properly guarded till fully adopted. Lambs needing help for any reason are easily found and ewes re- cognized that can spare a feed for tbom. When two or more are in charge of the flock, it is an easy mat- ter for the one to point out to the other what lambs need attention. By the adoption of this system of mark- ing a complete "Record of Perform- ance" at lambing time 1s easy to keep,. and one wilt be better able to cull out the undesirable ewes and their offspring, if any, keeping only those that prove good breeders and good mothers.—C. W. Laidlaw, De- monstration Farm, New Liskeard. About Seed Corn In districts where corn growing is an assured success the greatest cause of low yields is poor seed. This should not be so. The use of poor seed is unprofitable and causes -the Ioss of large sums of money each year, not only in loss of crop, but in loss of labor and use ot tools in tilling Reree that have but a thin or less than 190 per cent. stand of crop, With corn planted, 42 x 42, there are 8,666 hills per acre if no losses occur through headlands. Us- ing tour seeds per hill, there would be 14,224 plants If all seed grew and developed strong plants. If each plant gave an eight -ounce ear, the yield would be 104 bushels per acre. If, only one plant in each hill save an eight -ounce ear, the yield would be 26 bushels per acre. Now the work and expense of interest on in- vestment, fertilizing the land, ploughing,. planting. and cultivating would be the same for a perfect stand as for a twenty-five per cent. or a thirty-three per cent, crop. Good seed is, therefore, the first insurance for a 100 per cent. stand in the corn field.—L. Stevenson. Pigs Profitable When Cared For. Swine are profitable when given abundant sunshine and exercise, fed 010. well -selected feeds, gently han- dled, given proper sanitation and housing, kept free from worms and lice, and protected against cholera and other diseases. Quite a lot can happen a pig between birth and old age, but it is an easy animal to keep in the straight and narrow path lead- ing to successful and profitable'de- velopment if you go the right way about it. Pigs frequently suffer more from the heat of the sant during the sum- mer than they do from the cold of the winter period. If possible, make full use of any available shade trees when making your plans for swine pastures, feed lots or colony house locations.—L. Stevenson. Is farm life worthwhile? Not if it is one continual round of drudgery, 365 days in the year, without con- veniences or any playtime. Nor, for that matter, is lite carried on that way anywhere of much value. Con- veniences, a garden; flowers, play- time, and some time liven to neigh- bors, make life more worth while. If farm operating equipment must ba lett outdoors for any length at time, It is a good idea to protect it from contact with the ground. Run it up on atones or boards.
