THE PROPER WAY TO SHIP WINTER j 
LAMBS. 
At this season, when these lambs are 
going to market, it is quite important 
that they should be properly dressed, for 
this often adds from 50 cents to $1.00 to 
the price. Hang the lamb by the hind 
feet before severing the head, in order 
that the blood does not soil the wool, 
and that it may bleed thoroughly. Draw 
the skin well back that it may cover the 
wound, after the head is off. Do the 
same with the feet, which should be 
taken off at the knee and gambrel joints. 
Shear the wool off the abdomen, from 
the brisket to the tail. Open to the a f , maI1 flock of good shee P wlH P a ^

Probably 20 sheep could live on a New Eng¬

this writer. v. m. s 
The article mentioned goes on to 
prove, on paper, that sheep farming in 
New England is somewhat easier than 
"rolling off a log.” The writer woulc 
have about 20 sheep to the acre on 
every “abandoned” farm, and the prob 
lem of feeding them does not seem to 
bother him. Perhaps some “wizard 
will invent a new sheep that will eat 
its own wool and give two new coats 
from one old one. The fact is that

trails. Take off the fat carefully; if 
the weather is cold place it in a basin

and by’using care and good judgment 
the flock may be increased to advan

inches wide and eight long, sharpened on 
both ends. Draw the skin back and 
place the stick across the back to hold 
it there. This exposes the fatty inside. 
Care should be exercised not to break 
the fat over the kidnevs when removing 
the inside. Over the exposed parts, care¬ 
fully place the caul fat, holding it in 
place with wooden pins. Toothpicks 
are just the thing. When this cools 
it will stay in form without difficulty. 
Unless the weather is warm it is not 
necessary to sever the bone between the 
hind legs, or the breast hone; and the 
lungs and liver may remain inside. It 
is particularly important that the lambs 
hang until they are thoroughly cool be¬

about growing mushrooms, seedless ap¬

The reason for our writing you to leave 
the heads on Spring iambs is, that a number 
of hotel supply people have Government 
inspection at their places of business, and 
when the heads are left on, they are per¬ 
mitted to purchase the lambs and take 
them iu to their packing-houses, aud with 
the heads on the Government inspector who 
is stationed there can inspect the lambs 
as to their condition, but when the heads 
are off, they are not permitted to receive 
them in their stores, the inspectors claiming 
they cannot inspect them according to the 
agricultural laws when the heads are off. 
Our city authorities require them removed, 
aud our notion was that if they were left 
on and the city authorities require them 
off, we could remove them at this end. 
We have two or three different rulings as 
to the handling of meat in our city, the 
government authorities require one thing, 
the city authorities another and the State 
law still another, and it is hard to advise 
a shipper just what is best to be done. 
This is the cause of our asking for the 
heads on the Spring lambs.

FAIRY TALES ABOUT SHEEP. 
There's pasturage in New England for 
20,000,000 sheep, says a Boston wool ex¬ 
pert, and this whole section now has only an old collar gall on an old horse. It has 
Catarrh; Spavin. 
1. I have a horse eight years old, that 
has had a discharge from one nostril at 
times, for the past six months. I had a 
veterinary see him in the Fall; he thought 
it slight cold and gave me powders for 
him. After a few weeks he saw the horse 
again; did not think any more treatment 
necessary. lie still has the discharge. What 
treatment do you advise? The horse looks 
well and eats well. 2. I have a colt coming 
two years old, that has a small hard bunch 
on his hind leg, where spavin comes. He 
has never shown any lameness yet. Would 
you advise treatment to remove it or let 
it alone, as long as it does not lame him? 
New Jersey. v. 
1. Make a very careful examination of 
the molar teeth, as one of them may he 
split or diseases and so cause the catarrh. 
If no such cause is present mix a dram of 
dried sulphate of iron aud two drams of 
powdered gentian root in the feed night 
and morning for 10 days, and then change 
to a dram of iodide of potash twice daily 
for five successive days a week until dis¬ 
charge stops. 2. Let the small “jack 
spavin” alone. If it causes lameness later 
on treatment should then be given. It 
cannot be removed. a. s. a.

it true that when you break something on a plow it

five years, put it along side of a John Deere which 
has been in service that long—and see the difference.
