proposed fncrease in the beer tax. now |

to grow as fast as the value is appre
ciated. . Believing that the future of
sheep husbandry is full of promise we
present a plan for a sheep barn.
The barn is 40x80, with a feeding
alley lengthwise and separating the
stables. The portable racks are used
to make subdivisions. These racks may
be moved to one side and the wagon or
manure spreader driven through the
stables for convenience in cleaning out
the manure. Each stable has in con
nection with it an open lot or paddock
in which the sheep may run at all times.
Where lambs are grown a number of
double gates nre very convenient. These
may be set up in a corner of the stable
by means of hooks and staples, and the
LOCATION OF FEED BINS.
ewe and lamb shut up therein until the
lamb' has sufficient strength to mingle
with the flock without risk of life. A
| number of these small pens may be set
|up if necessary, and when not in use
| they may be, stored away in very small
‘| space. We are indebted to Mr: George
{"McKerrow' fo this idea, and since he is
one of the most successful sheep grow
| ers in Wisconsin his recommendations
‘| have great weight. We have tested the
valus of nug box-like pens, but the
gates are mowe convenient and require
less room when not in use.
The basement should be seven and a
halt or eight feet high, and the loft
| above should be of sufficient height to
provide storage room for hay and fod
der.
The feed bins may be located in the
| Joft and conveyed to a mixing box at
| the end of the feeding alley by means of
| spouta, as shown in Fig. 2.
| Watering tanks may be located in the
division fences and the supply regu
| lated by floats.—John L, Shawver, in
| Nationa] Stockman.
PIG PEN POINTERS.
|+ With good clover pasture hogs can
| be made to fatten very rapidiy and at
| low cost.
‘| As soon as the pigs are two weeks old |
begin to feed them in a side trough.
This will push them along nicely and
save the sow. |
| ‘There is encouragement in the gen
[ eral acquiescence in the policy of giv
| ing swine range—plenty of grass and
-| clover, and less of the everlasting corn
| diet. We no longer aim at masses of
| living lard. |
'| Boar pigs that are doing service need
| eareful attention and good feeding. Do
" | not feed any great quantity of corn; try
| & few peas, ground oats and a handful
of oil meal, and exercise them as much
a8 _possible, :
3| In a majority of cases, however good
| may be the clover patch which the farm
| er has for his hogs, it will pay to buy
|a supply of ship-stuff to feed with it.
|| This for the sake of variety and for the
"| good of the pasture.
|« Plenty of hogs are killed by quack
nostrums when cholera is supposed to
be in the herd. Aconite and concen
trated lye are fed plentifully and hogs
| die., Starvation is better treatment
r | than rank poisons indiscriminately fed.
We can reduce the cost of pork by
| reducing the time in which we grow it.
| A 200-pound pig, well marked with lean,
.| is demanded. This can be got ready in
. | six months often, and where a butter
|{dairy is run a considerable greater
weight can be procured.—Rural' World.

| to hold the hog, but without bottom.
