TURN LAMBS IN THE CORNFIELD 



33 



A Few Sheep Without Grain 



Where there are but few sheep on the farm and there is plenty 

 of range, fat lambs can sometimes be grown without feeding either 

 ewes or lambs grain after the grass is plentiful. 



Fresh Pasture Prevents Worms 



If the ewes and lambs can have a fresh pasture every two weeks 

 until the lambs are weaned, there will be little danger from stomach 

 worms. Where there are only a few ewes on a farm this plan 

 can be worked out. 



If it is not possible to have change of pastures a close watch 

 must be kept for indications of stomach worms. (See page 48.) 

 By all means furnish the lambs fresh pasture after they are 

 weaned. 



Rape Patch on Every Farm 



A small patch of rape is valuable on every farm for lamb and 

 hog pasture.

This combination hay and grain rack, designed by Mr. Chas. W. Carothers, 

 Taylorstown, Pa., keeps the sheep from wasting hay and protects the fleece from 

 chaff and seeds. 



The sheep must pull the hay through the slats in order to get it and the trough 

 catches the leaves that shatter off, thus saving the best part of the hay. 



With poorly made feed racks sheep sometimes waste as much feed as they cat.
