40 in January. Of course these that are 
coming now are too late for best prices 
if there is any best this year. What is 
the trouble with pl’ices? I do not know. 
It may be overproduction or lack of de¬ 
mand. It costs a good deal to produce 
these lambs. The ewes must be heavily 
fed and the lambs eat a surprising 
amount. My silo will hold 10 acres of 
corn, 75 bushels to the acre. We use all of 
it in a season. We feed Alfalfa, about 
an average of 35 tons, and the fodder 
from 15 acres of corn. This year I am 
feeding some dried brewers’ grains, as 
our corn was poor. It would not make 
over 50 bushels per acre this year. We I 
have added three tons, that I think will 
last us. Cost about $32.50 per ton do- | 
livered; one ton of oil meal, about $38.50 
delivered, and probably a ton of bran at 
$26. The lambs also eat a good deal 
of shelled corn. 
In this business and fed as the lambs 
are, one cannot afford to keep the ewe 
lambs, so we must in some way replenish 
our stock. Last Fall I bought 75 West¬ 
ern ewes at $4.60 per head and will let | 
enough of the old ewes go to keep my 
200. Some of the ewes are quite old. 
We have lost eight and one of our best 
rams had his neck broken fighting. It 
is an easy matter to give results of one 
good period that may seem very encourag- 
| ing. It is another matter to get average 
; results through a series of years. I do 
j a. large amount of work myself and I 
keep two men. We also grow hogs and 
market about 100 per year, but the hogs 
do not take the time the sheep do. If 
anyone has the equipment he may do 
very well in this business in a small way, 
but if one must build his barns and silo 
(and we feel the silo is almost indispen¬ 
sable) I would advise him to go very 
slow with the present very low prices. 
There is much being said about the 
young men leaving the farm. One rea¬ 
son is because the farmer does not re¬ 
ceive enough return for the cost of his 
equipment and his labor. Therefore he 
cannot afford to pay prices that will keep 
good farm labor on the farm. M. L. p. 
Sweet Clover for Hog Pasture. 
What do you think of sowing Sweet 
clover for bog pasture? I have one-half 
acre hog run, and am thinking of sowing 
it to oats and Sweet clover in the Spring, 
and then when the clover has a good 
start turn in some young shotes. The 
land is sand and gravel mixed. If the 
hogs keep it pastured down so it cannot 
go to seed will the clover remain there 
for next year, or must it be sown every 
year? W. T. 
Elkhart, Ind. 
You can hardly make a mistake in 
sowing Melilotus alba, the White Sweet 
clover, for hog pasture. We consider this 
plant one of the greatest pasture crops 
that we have ever seen. Last year we 
turned 56 head of 100-pound shetes on 
to an acre of Sweet clover, leaving them 
there six weeks, at which time they 
were ready for the market, aud the 
Sweet clover had been eaten down only 
to within 12 or 15 inches of the ground. 
There is not much to tell about handl¬ 
ing this crop. We use it just the same as 
Alfalfa, put it on the same kind of soil, 
which must be rich in lime and inoculated, 
although it need not be fertile. We 
prepare the same kind of seed bed aud 
sow it the same time. We use hulled 
seed exclusively and whatever you do 
never cover Sweet clover seed deeply, just 
barely cover it at all. aud you will get 
good results. Seeded April 1. you can 
expect some pasture or probably a hay 
| crop the first year, the second year a very 
heavy hay crop, which must, however, be 
I cut a foot high or it will kill the plants. 
Then following this, a seed crop of one 
or two bushels per acre aud then the 
plant dies. 
As a hay crop. Sweet clover compares 
favorably with Alfalfa, excepting that it 
is a good deal more woody. It must be 
cut when first coming into blossom. Let 
it lie in the swath for 24 to 48 hours, 
then shock it in small shocks, and leave 
it entirely alone for a week or 10 days. 
In that time it will probably be ready 
to go into the mow. The stock after 
once getting a taste for it, will eat it 
greedily. Ciias. b. wing.

Last year a California Holstein made a 
yearly record of 784.13 pounds of fat from 
25,981.8 pounds of milk. 
After an interval of two months she began 
another yearly test which has just come to a 
close with a record of 868.1 pounds of butter 
fat from 28.828.4 pounds of milk. 
These two successive yearly tests during 
which 54.800 pound* of milk were made are 
more evidence that great records are not 
spasmodic efforts, but represent capacity 
permanently developed.

A Family Foundation 
Consistent line breeding has developed 
at Meridale Farms four definite families 
of strong dairy type and exceptional pro¬ 
ducing ability, as is attested by the au¬ 
thenticated records of 117 Meridale 
Jerseys who averaged 7894 lbs. milk, 
509 lbs. butter each on yearly test. 
One of these families is the Say das, 
and one of the best Saydas is Sayda’s 
Queen of Ventnor 168033, who averaged 
540 lbs. butter a year for ten consecu¬ 
tive years, and produced 11,433 lbs. 
milk, S09 lbs. butter when eleven years 
old. The average authenticated record 
of herself and two daughters is 740 lbs. 
butter each per year. 
To other dairymen who are working 
for heavy and persistent production we 
offer a special selection consisting of 
two granddaughters of Sayada’s Queen 
of Ventnor with a son of her full 
brother, Sayda’s Heir 3rd. They are 
good individuals, backed by production 
through every line, and comprise a family 
foundation which enables their purchaser to 
profit by our quarter-century of herd-building 
experience—he begins where we leave off.
