Square Type Farm Home Will Appeal to Many Prospective Home Builders mMWS VERY DESIRABLE PUT POLISH ON RATION FOR EWES COWS FOR SHOW ; Whole Oats and Wheat Bran, Animals Should Be BlanketTwo to One, Starts Milk. ed and Tied in Cool Barn. ? Two "or three weeks previous to lambing, begin giving the ewes grain at the rate of about pound per head; per day. A very desirable ration is whole oats and wheat bran, two to one. That will start the milk flow and ewes are not apt to disown . one-ha- ? v lf their lambs. As soon as a ewe shows symptoms of lambing she should be placed in a ; pen by herself so that she may not be disturbed. In case of twins, the first v lamb dropped cannot wander away ; and perhaps perish before the shep-- I herd can get there to set things right. 'I After a day or two, when the lamb gets strong and becomes well accustomed to its mother, the ewe and lamb should be put with the part of the flock that has lambed. It will not be necessary very often I for the attendant to help delivery, but he shoul.d assist before much strength is exhausted in laboring. Faulty presentations and dead lambs within the ewe occur occasionally. In case of the former there are no set rules to be followed, but the shepherd should aim to get the Iamb in Its ; always natural position before attempting to take it out by force. A dead lamb within a ewe should be removed and the womb flushed out' with a warm solution of carbolic acid and water, - - . 1 tO 100. , v If the ewe is too weak to attend her lamb when bom, the shepherd should remove the mucous from its nostrils, rub it dry and try to get it to nurse. A little warm milk will work wonders in the way of supplying n warmth and strength to the ' ' new-bor- : ; lamb. When the Iamb is weak and chilled at birth a handy device to have at hand is a half barrel with a Jug of hot water placed in It The lamb can be readily warmed by curling it around the jug and covering the barrel with a blanket In case of twins one can be kept warm in this way until the other is delivered. When a lamb becomes severely chilled more energetic measures are necessary. Immerse the lamb in water as hot as the bare hand can stand, keeping the nose above the surface and adding more hot water : when necessary to maintain the reWhen the body gained 'temperature. heat is restored rub it dry and allow the lamb to suckle. A teaspoonful of cream with a little hot water may be helpful. Sometimes constipation follows this treatment and an injection of warm soap suds is recommended. : . . Preventing Thumps Will Insure Little Porkers Many cases of thumps in pigs are due to the presence in the young stage of the Ascaris worm in the lungs. These worms mature In the intestines. The young are taken In with water and feed in infected hog pens, lots, etc. ; then they pass by blood vessels to the lungs and there irritate and sometimes infect the lungs, producing some type of inflammation. The young worm ia coughed up into the throat ; then it passes (by swallowing) down the esophagus to the stomach and intestines, where this Ascaris matures and thus completes the life cycle. To prevent Ascaris infestation In pigs, wash and disinfect the brood sow just a few days before she is to farrow, and remove her to a place where no hogs have been or to a clean and disinfected farrowing pen. After the "pigs are born keep them out of and away from all old pens and places where old hogs have been until the pigs are four months old. Then they will be safe for growing into pork hogs at eight to twelve months of age. - Live Stock Farming Is Sure to Pay Dividends . Diversified stock farming is condu-"clv- e to regtlar dividends and. better methods of operation, which include dismachine methods and proper-labo- r tribution as well as . remuneration. There is no doubt as to the frequent lack of working capital among farmers, but Shorthorns can be used by many as the nucleus of a live stock farming system that will attract assistance from financial circles at reasonable rates until they can accumulate surpluses from their earnings adequate to met their normal requirements. Much of the labor in stock farming is provided by the animals themselves in that they gather the crop by grazing, and fertilize the soil, thereby eliminating two handling .SJ-.lcharges '' .

The calf that scours easily in life may be seriously handicapped and of course sometimes dies. Prevention is best but not always possible. Care should be taken that the calf is not overfed, that the milk is always fed warm, and that the milk is uniformly sweet and fed from clean buckets.

They have been found to be dry and healthful, and when these floors are immediately above basement rooms that are heated will be found to be actually much warmer than ordinary construction. The fact, too, that they are nonabsorbent and consequently easily kept clean makes them popnlar with many housewives. They do not squeak nr vibrate and are soundproof. Such floors can be stained and then waxed. They can also be given an enamel finish. Sometimes, when the snrface has just been placed and is still soft, Dutch tile can be laid, which gives the floor a vivid appearance.

Never drench the cow with any liquid or allow the tapes to remain on the teats more than 20 minutes, Is a precaution to those administering treatment, .The drench may go into the cows lungs and the tapes may cause the teats to slough off. The theory that some dairymen have tried adding a little molasses to the cows ration four to six weeks before calving has been found to be effective in some cases in preventing milk fever. The characteristic position of .the cow affected with milk fever Is lying down with her feet extended forward under her body and her head turned backward toward her flank. There is generally a crook in the animals neck resembling the letter S.
