A Pennsylvania Sheep Man 
I lijive iihvays felt somewhat embar¬ 
rassed when called upon to blew my own 
born, but it does not follow that I should 
feel sheepish to blow my ram’s horn, and 
tlu‘re seems to be quite a revival amon^ 
sliepherds without sheep. Some call for 
the blood of every hound and Scotch col¬ 
lie. and invite them to step off the earth 
i|uietly. Xow history seems to prove that 
in pioneer days these old hills of ours 
were decorated with bears and howling 
wolvt's and yet our forefathers kept sheep. 
I don’t live far from some coal towns, and 
I see from my window just now an Italian 
butcher two miles from his home, and five 
dogs after his wagon. I keep about L'O 
gi’tide Oxford ewes, and last Summer in 
d.-iylight the dogs tackled and killed two 
fine ewes. This was tlie second time in 
four years that dogs attiicked my sheep. 
’I'liese wei'o considered the finest flock In 
the county, and as I did not possess the 
eitlu'l’ of the idots. Tile bind is situated 
in the central part of Illinois; the clinuite, 
1 judge, difl’ers .'lomewhat from yours. The 
I>:irt I sow to clover. I think, should also 
lie sown to oats as a nurse crop to the 
clover. I have never sown rape and do 
not know wliether or not it would do to 
sow this crop in the Spring. In a general 
way my idea is in the Spring, to sow one 
plot to otits and clover, one to rape and 
one to cow peas. Will that doV If my 
plan is followed, which of the plots should 
lie retid.v for pasturage first, which .second 
:uid which third? I low many aiiim.ils.

"I'lie genertil idoti in iii’oviding croits for 
hogs through the Summer is to have .'X 
rotation of crops on the land continn.illy, 
putting in another as soon as one lot 13 
eaten down. Here the oats and clover 
yfiu mention would be sown in the l iill, 
and eaten down early enough to put the 
hind into cow peas. Rape, sown in the

Sheep on a Pennsylvania Farm 
liioneer .sand I offered them for sale at 
.$12 a hc'ad. I tried to sell them for 
about 10 dtiys and a number of men 
looked at them and did not object to the 
price “if they only had fences.” I rubbed 
on a little more stnid and I still have the 
.sheep. 
It is common for those sheep to ha.e 
twins and triplet lambs which, if given a 
chance, weigh at weaning time 125 to 150 
Ihs., and se'II for breeding purposes above 
nijirket price. Ton of those ewes were 
yotirlings hist f^pring, and clipped 10 Ihs. 
of wool apiece. The thi’ee largest were 
triplets witli a perfect stimcness at wean¬ 
ing time; black face and legs. Their 
dam weighed ISO lbs., and this was her 
third set of triplets, and still she had SVi* 
lbs. of wool. At this date the sheep are 
mulling at a barn with some young Jer¬ 
sey heifers, with a free rnii to Timothy 
hiiy. I always put bells on the sheep; 
Unit does not .seem to intimidate dogs, but 
m.ikes it easier for people to locate them. 
Young cattle or mares and colts do not 
do quite so well in a sheep pasture, but I 
Inive never had any trouble with dogs 
when young cattle or mares and colts ran 
in the same pasture. When a stray dog 
enters the field they go after him with a 
loud and solid front, though it is gener¬ 
ally conceded that a ”2 repeating Win¬ 
chester is an tittraclive stop watch for 
wtiyftiring dog.s. 
There are only a few ]ieople in this 
part of the country who care to fence for 
sheep. Three barbed wires will turn 
Iiorses and cattle, but it takes a solid 
fence ftir shee]) or they creep through.

Hay Pasture in Illinois 
I have about 00 acres of young orchard 
standing on land that is light and liable to 
erode. I have had tin* land in corn, cow 
peas and Cow-horn turnips for the three 
seasons the trees have been growing. I 
wish to discontinue that kind of cultiva¬ 
tion and wish to turn the orchards into 
hog iiastures. I can divide the ground 
into three parts of about equal size, and 
can use besides about 12 acres of Blue 
grass pasture, which can he used with 
till well into Winter. But climate makes 
dilTerences. In Central Illinois yon could 
not follow a rotation that would be good 
here in IMaryliind. Spring-sown oats and 
Bed clover Avonld he goo<l so long as the 
oats last, and the hogs might possibly get 
some clover later by being turned on the 
lot in peas later. But in your section in¬ 
stead of sowing petis and clover I would 
sow Canadii ])eas and oats, and follow 
these Avith rajie for Fall pasture. Sow 
.•mother lot in an early cow pea like the 
New Era the first of June.. These should 
he retuly to turn on by the time the oats 
and peas are eaten, and you can sow Red 
clover after these to come in for. the next 
Summer, and rim through the season. 
Tlie I’ape Ciin be again sown in early 
Spring. Rape can be sown either in early 
Spring or Summer for Summer or Fall 
use. In fact the only thing I can recom- 
nuMid under the climatic conditions is con- 
st:mt Avatchfulness to catch the chances 
for succession crops. Y'ou can sow cow 
peas till the first of July, and while sown 
that late in your section they might not 
m.’itnre. they Avill still furnish pasturage. 
I cannot suggest a certain hard and fast 
rotation for that section, but by watching 
the chances yon can with the crops men¬ 
tioned keep up a succession for the hogs, 
and when a lot is in Red clover yon can 
keep up pasture on that all through the 
season by taking stock off on another lot 
for a time. w. F. ma,ssey. 
A Great Cow Record 
I am inckising a clipping from the 
Syracuse I’ost-Sttmdard of .Tan. 11, in 
which it is stated that a certain cow 
gives 1005 pounds of milk in seven days. 
That would moan, I believe, 5021/4 qts. 
a week, 71.0S qts. a day, or 35.90 qts. 
at a milking. This seems impossible, 
and I would thank yon either to verify 
or discount the statement. R. K. 11.
