zA poor milker costs just as much to house, feed and 
care for as a good producer. For this reason just a slight 
increase in the milk yield makes a big difference in the 
net profit. Dairy experts say an increase of 10 °Jo in the 
milk yield will double the profit. 
How important it is, then to get from your cows every 
pint of milk of which they are capable. 
The chief cause —almost the only cause—of poor 
milkers is the condition of their health. Particularly the 
health of the milk-making organs. 
Kow-Kare, the famous cow medicine and conditioner, 
acts directly on the milk-producing organs. It tones up 
the genital and digestive functions, makes them sturdy 
and active. More milk and better health must result. 
Feed Kow-Kare one week out of each month (a table¬ 
spoonful twice a day) and the result will surprise you. 
For the treatment of Barrenness, Abortion, Retained 
Afterbirth, Scours, Bunches, Milk Fever, Lost Appetite, 
etc., Kow-I^are has a well-earned reputation. No dairy 
barn should be without it. For twenty-five years it has 
been the chief reliance of thousands of dairymen, when 
cows are sick. 
Feed dealers, general stores and druggists sell 
Kow-Kare ; $1.25 and 65c sizes. Write for our 
free book, “The Home Cow Doctor.” It is full 
of information valuable to cow owners.

T HE scarcity of available good young 
ewes causes the question to arise fre¬ 
quently, what is to be the source of the 
foundation ewes for farm flocks that are 
being established by men who can not get 
help, who are too old to milk, who have 
rough land that they desire to profitably 
utilize or who merely want a good side- 
issue flock around the place to look at and 
to furnish additional revenue. 
There is some prejudice, in some sec¬ 
tions, against the use of western ewes— 
this may be accounted for by the fact 
that there is a difference in Western 
ewes. The sheepmen of a section of New 
York State embracing parts of Ontario 
and Yates Counties have been outstand¬ 
ingly successful in the use of western 
ewes. I refer to the Middlesex valley 
and adjacent territory. In this section 
the valley land is rich and productive- 
much of the up-land has been semi- 
abandoned as far as farming is concerned 
and has been secured and fenced by the 
enterprising valley farmers for sheep 
pasture. These up-land pastures are very 
interesting—some of them at an elevation 
of nearly 2000 feet above sea-level. Ope 
hill in particular near Naples carries 
three thousand or more sheep owned by 
different men. The pastures are laid out 
in a systematic manner so that several of 
them open into a main lane. Western 
ewes or their descendants predominate.

Advantages of Western Range Ewes MILK CANS 
Dealers in this section have developed 
a trade in western ewes—they go out to 
the western States and buy them direct. 
In this way they avoid western ewes that 
have spent some time on corn-belt 
farms and become loaded up with para¬ 
sites. Western ewes direct from the range 
possess a minimum of internal parasites. 
This fact, applied to lambs, explains the 
preference of corn-belt lamb feeders for 
western lambs for use in their feed lots— 
their freedom from stomach worms (the 
The western ewe possesses the Merino 
blood necessary to give her a.good con¬ 
stitution and the ability to run together 
in large numbers and keep healthy. Con¬ 
stitution and health is of first importance 
in any sheep. 
Mr. E. L. Moody, well-known sheep¬ 
man of the section mentioned, has been 
very successful in following the type of 
sheep husbandry indicated. The record 
of the bunch of yearling Montana ewes 
purchased in 1916 by Mr. Moody came 
under my notice. A Dorset ram was 
used. Although the ewes were yearlings 
and raising their first lamb crop, they 
raised to marketing age 124 lambs. The 
ewes sheared an average of seven pounds 
of wool per head. The total income from 
lambs and wool for the season was 
$1,590.70. The next year they raised 148 
lambs and sheared an average of seven 
and one-half pounds of wool. 
West Turning to Blackfaces 
Last spring I picked up a small bunch 
of Oregon ewes in April that had been 
bred to a Shropshire ram. They raised 
over 100 per cent, lamb crop, the selling 
price of which lacked but $2 of paying for 
the flock. The northwest ewes are 
largely the result,of early-day crossing of 
Longwools and Merinos. The character 
of western ewes is undergoing a change as 
the use of blackface mutton rams in the 
West increases—for in the West the 
transition from large range holdings of 
sheep to the development of the flocks 
in the farming regions is going on. This 
accounts for the Blackface western ewes 
we see nowadays—formerly they were 
more uniformly whitefaces.
