Making a Sheep-tight Fence 
You asked for a littlo information on 
fencing for sheep. I have had about 25 
years’ fuss with shepp, and have built 
fences of nearly all types, yet never found 
hut one satisfactory to me in every way, 
cost and all considered. This is a 2C>- 
incli woven wire, stretched good and tight, 
six inches from the ground, with a barbed 
wire three inches below it, or half way 
between bottom of woven wire and 
ground, and another barbed wire six 
inches above, and if you want to keep 
dogs out as well as sheep in stre^vh two 
barbed wires above, six inches apart. I 
have one of this kind and 1 saw a fox’s 
efforts thwarted. Sheep will climb over 
or creep through a rail fence, creep 
through a small wire, no matter how 
tight. A barb/'d wire will hang them fast 
or tear the wool out. but the fence I have 
described has none of the undesirable 
features. It is not. as expensive as an 
nil woven wire, and if you use two barbs 
above 1 don’t think anything this side of 
an antelope would attempt getting on the 
other side. 
Sheep are tine for clearing land of 
brush and weeds. I have watched them 
in the pasture where there were not many 
weeds, and seen them hunt up wild car¬ 
rots and dandelions. 1 do not know of 
but two weeds mine will not eat, and 
they are Canada thistle and wild par¬ 
snip. If you have any young trees or 
neighbor’s friendship you think anything 
of and arc going to keep sheep, my advice 
is to put up the fence I have described, 
or you will not have either. Sheep beat 
goats a long way. E. S. B.

Bitter Cream 
Can you tell me why my cream turns 
bitter? I keep my separator clean, the 
earthen jars in which the cream is kept 
are washed and boiled in water and soda. 
I keep the cream near the kitchen stove, 
but do not have a fire during the night. 
The cream often turns bitter before fully 
ripe. m. e. 
Bitter milk or cream is usually due to 
the development of certain bacteria that 
get into the milk, or to undesirable food 
eaten by the cow. If the milk is bitter 
when drawn it is probably due to the 
feed, but if the bitterness develops upon 
standing it is due to bacteria. In the 
first case the remedy is to cut out the 
musty or suspected feeds, and in the 
second to find the source of the unde¬ 
sirable bacteria and remove the cause. 
From the statements in your inquiry I 
believe the trouble is due to some bac¬ 
teria the source of which is difficult to 
determine from the information fur¬ 
nished. It is known, however, that such 
organisms grow best at low tempera¬ 
tures. and develop slowly in the pres¬ 
ence of acid, so I would suggest ripening 
the cream at a uniform temperature 
'about 70 degrees Fahrenheit) favorable 
for the growth of acid producing bac¬ 
teria. Frequently the milk from cows in 
the last part of the lactation period is 
bitter, f. e. w.

Over 2.000 Guernsey cows were under test for the Advanced 
Register in March, 1920. This is an Increase of 86% over 
March. 1919. It is expected that in less than one year more 
than 10,000 records will have been completed. The Ad¬ 
vanced Register is recognized as one of the most important 
factors that have caused the rapid progress of the breed in 
recent years. Send for our free booklet, '‘The Story of the
