By using the right kind of hay instead of grain, sheep can be wintered succesfully and much grain saved for other purposes. Sheep require less concentrated feed during the winter than other live stock. If they are in good condition at the beginning of the winter and if lambs are not ex-- I peeted before the spring pastures come on, the grainless ration is to be advised. Legume hays stand at the forefront as a roughage, for sheep. No other roughages approach them in feeding values. The hays, like timothy, red top and blue grass have very few leaves and therefore are poor sheep feeds. Hays having a large amount of timothy in them also are undesirable. Not only is timothy unpalatable to the sheep, but it causes serious cases of constipation. The dry timothy heads work into the wool, causing Irritation to the skin, lessening the value of the clip and making shearing difficult. When timothy or other hay is fed to sheep in winter quarters it becomes necessary to use some supplementary feed to keep the sheep in condition. If any nonlegume hay Is fed, supplementary protein feed is needed. Linseed meal is good since In addition to furnishing protein it counteracts the constipating effect of timothy hay. From to one-hapound of linseed meal per ewe daily should be used, depending on the size and condition of the animal and the other ' feed used. In an experiment conducted at the Missouri station and reported In bulletin No. 120, the relative values of clover and timothy hays for wintering ewes were determined. Fifteen ewes fed 2.9 pounds timothy hay and 0.35 pounds grain per head daily lost 7.6 pounds each during the same time that another lot receiving the same weight of grain and clover liay gained 6.5 pounds. The 14 ewes fed clover hay dropped 16 strong lambs, while those fed timothy drop ped 11 strong and 5 weak lambs. The lambs from the ewes fed clover hay gained more rapidly during the first 30 days than did those from the ewes fed timothy hay.

Word is being sent to the farmers of Minnesota to take special pains in drying and storing their seed corn this fall. C. P. Bull, university farm, St. Paul, secretary of the state committee of food production and conservation, says: The amount of moisture to be removed from the corn this fall is larger than usual. A well ventilated room with artificial heat, If needed, should be provided for curing. Care should be taken, however, not to dry the corn too rapidly. The temperature of the drying room should be kept somewhere between 60 and 70 degrees. The ears should be hung up by the double string method or should be put on hangers or trees; it should not be dumped in a pile in a bin. A double allowance, if it can be had, should be saved, in order to admit of a more rigid selection next spring. The present indications are that there will be a good demand for seed corn. one-quart- er lf 90 splendid tionali-$2- BENEFITS OF CHICK FEEDER Advantages Claimed Are That Birds Are Prevented From Overfeeding and Crowding. bottom of this feed The hopper ts made of woven wire and In Winter It Will Be Necessary to Renew Four or Five Times Daily-- Use Common Utensils. The hens need a good supply of clean water, and in winter It will be necessary to renew the water four or five times a day. There are devices on the market which the sellers profess will keep the water from freezing, but at present poultry men, both large anc small, agree that the best way is to put the water in ordinary utensils and renew the supply with sufficient fre quency to prevent the birds going thirsty.

WATER ESSENTIAL FOR STOCK Ample Supply Should Be Available in Winter as Well as Summer Tank Heater Not Needed. Water should be available in ample quantities for the stock In winter as well as In summer. It Is one of the best physical regulators that the animals can have and It goes Into the building of blood and flesh just as much as does the feed which you give the animals. It is well to have the water as warm us possible in winter as the stock will drink more freely of it than they will of cold water. This does not mean that it is necessary to Install a tank heater for all kinds of stock. For most of the live stock all that is necessary is to pack hot manure around the tank several inches deep and to break the ice several times a day in order that the animals may drink. !

This territory of 380,000 square versts (166,974 square miles), equal In area to the whole of France, is divided from European Russia on the north by the deep valleys of the rivers Kuma and Manuich, which 100 years ago formed a channel between the Caspian and Azov seas. This valley stretches from the mouth of the Kuma to the mouth of the River Don, and constitutes a natural frontier between Europe and Asia, though it is now less marked than at the time' when it was full of water. The southern frontier of the Caucasus extends from" the mouth of the River Astara on the Caspian sea, through the Taleshindsky mountains to the River Aratz, and then on to Arata. From here it runs In a line to the Black sea. This area has attracted attention for many years! owing to the mountain range which cuts across it from one side to the other, says a writer in Russia. Strictly, the geographical name Caucasus belongs to this mountain ranged , The Juncasus mountains are enormous wails stretching for 400 versts (265 miles) from to dividing the whole district into two distinct and practically equal parts.

While the Caucasus Is inhabited by two major races Caucasians and Mongolians there is at the same time a wonderful collection of tribes, such as Armenians, Circassians, Georgians, Lesgians, Asetins, Persians, Tartars, Turkomen, Kurds, Jews, and Greeks. All these different tribes are from some reason or other under the influence of the Russian, but even now each tribe keeps to its own particular custom and religion, and to its own small community. To illustrate how original and bizarre Is the population of the Caucasus district, it may be mentioned that there are 67 tribes, and that over 100 different languages and dialects are spoken. The economic conditions and standards of civilization of this mixed population are varied. There are some places which might be considered highly civilized centers of modern culture and technique, for instance such towns as Baku, Batoum, ' Vladlkavkas, Grosny, Ekaterinodar, Novorossisk and Tiflis. On 'the other hand, in places remote from civilization, and in particular in the mountain caves and passes, life is very primitive. who will tell you in emphatic subway vernacular that it is wasted in work, muses a New York cor-- i respondent It was after the dl ner pail period when tbe foreman, crammed his little old Joy box full 0f terbaccy and reached in his pocket for a match.
