The Saviours oft repeated admonition of 'Feed My Lambs always has been and always will be the slogan of the truly successful sheep farmer. . No matter how carefully you care for the ewe during the trying period of lambing, nor how well you feed her during the raw, i hilly months of early spring, If now, during the hot months you neglect the little ones, all your work has been in vain For it is then that the really trying time tomes I'ntil summer climatic conditions hate been fairly conducive to the best health and growth of the younb lambs. Grass has been abundant and the ewe has been liberal In her flow of milk. Now, however, a change occurs In the life of the little one. Our days, which before have been cooled by cool and balmy breezes Right here Is where the sheep farmer shows whether he Is capable and efficient. If he la, he will attend to them at once. In fart, the best of them anticipate nature a little by weaning earlier. If it has not been done before, the really capable and efficient farmer attends to It now He may be, and often is, right where his fields need him the most, hut he knows that here is something that will pay him immensely He knows that a little brains and forethought exercised now will take the place of a lot of work and feed later on. The best thing to do Is lo separate the ewes and lambs entirely. If possible give the lambs a fresh pasture on which no sheep have been grazed for a year. This Is to avoid the dreaded stomach worm One way that has been found god Is to turn the lambs Into a patch of rape and allow them to graze It down Some like to let the tape get six or eight inches high before turning In on It, but for my part 1 think It Is too tough by that time I nine hprefer the threcj or five-incplant to the larger and woodier growth Often after the rape la eaten, the m,eadows have started up afresh so that the lambs can be turned into them and allowed to eat the fresh, Prize Dorset, Illinois State Fair. tender herbage that springs up with become Intolerable by the wilting the first shower Sometimes when nothing better Is glare of the midsummer sun and 1 oothlng feels the effect of this more offered, have turned the lambs Into than the sheep.
