LAMBING PRECAU­ TIONS (Experimental Farms News) In the Spring it wheh the returns from the slitCp flock are to a large extent' determined. ’that Is io say, the profit to be derived next fall from this phase of the farm enterprise may depend upon the percentage of lambs living at the end of lambing, states S. B. Williams, Animal Husbandry Di­ vision, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. It costs very little more to have a good-milking ewe raise two lambs rather than one, whereas a ewe running with no lamb is nothing but a boarder. For this reason a little ex­ tra care at lambing time is well worth while. The precautions followed by the Animal Husbandry Division, Cen­ tral Experimental Farm are simple and not too numerous. At the Farm, the ewes that arc about to lamb are separated f/om the rest of the flock and are allowed to lamb in a clean, well bedded spot, free from draughts. If any difficulty arises during lambing, such as malpresenta- tion or abnormal size, the ewe is as­ sisted. A strong lamb will be on its feet, nttrsing within half an hour; if it does not do this it is helped to nurse. Should the ewe have no milk, the lamb is given a few ounces of milk from a fresh cow. This feeding is re­ peated every few hours Until the ewe has sufficient milk. If the ewe fails to have milk within three days, a foster mother is found for the lamb. A ewe that has lost .her lamb is often per­ suaded to adopt another if her own lamb is skinned and the skin tied on the lamb that is to be given her. If necessary the ewe is segregated from the remainder of the flock and left alone with the lamb until she has ac­ cepted it. An effort is made to keep both the ewe and the sheep pen free of loose tags of wool, as a lamb will sometimes swallow these tags. They form a wool ball Iff Its stomach resulting in the death of the lamb. The ewes and their lambs are given ample iroom, as over- crowding may result in losses from lambs being laid on by the ewes, es­ pecially during the colder nights when they huddle together for warmth. By observing these precautions 150 ewes have lambed to date this year at the Central Experimental Farm. The ewes are nursing an average of <»nv and a half lambs per head, represent-1 ing an increase of 1509c. ’ First Blonde: "I shall never marry.” Second Ditto: “Why?” First Bonde: “Because a bride nev­ er gets the best man.” CUBA TO HONOR VISIT OF LIONS Stamp to Commemorate Convention at Havana The Republic of Cuba has designed a special two-cent stamp to commem­ orate the conven­ tion of Lions Int­ ernational which is to be held in Ha­ vana July 23 - 25, 1940.
