Good Care of Ewes Is Lamb 
Crop Insurance 
T HE few weeks before the lambs are 
born is a critical time, and no better 
use may be made of choice feeds than to 
put the ewes in proper condition for lamb¬ 
ing. 
The percentage of lambs raised deter¬ 
mines the profit from a flock of sheep, 
and likewise the feed and care during the 
next few weeks will in a large measure* 
control the success of the season. 
According to the sheep men at the 
New York State College of Agriculture, 
the aim should be to have the ewes in 
good thriving condition. Having them 
fat will cause difficulty at lambing; but 
on the other hand the more common 
practice of having ewes in poor flesh may 
result in their not claiming their lambs. 
Under ordinary circumstances, one- 
half pound of a mixture of equal parts 
corn and oats, with possibly the addition 
of a little bran, makes a good ration. 
With this, some leguminous roughage, as 
alfalfa, clover or soybean hay, should be 
given, for the high protein content is 
important for strong lambs. 
Many troubles reported at lambing 
and attributed to many causes are usually 
the result of digestive disorders, and may 
be avoided by exercising the ewes. 
By feeding at different places some dis¬ 
tance from the barn, this may be easily 
accomplished. 
FEEDING AND CARING FOR 
THE TWIN AND ORPHAN 
LAMBS 
R. B. Rushing 
T AKE care of the twins, and the sing¬ 
lets will, in a general way of speaking, 
take care of themselves. Many condi¬ 
tions go against the former, as follows: 
The ewe is often poor, or at least she is 
often poorer than if she had only bore one 
lamb. She naturally runs a bit short of 
milk, there being two youngsters to share 
it. The lambs are not, as a rule, so strong 
and capable of roughing it as the robust 
singlets. 
We are often, too, puzzled to keep all 
hi order when the ewe has a weak and 
strong lamb, through the latter taking 
the lion’s share of the milk; and then it is 
that the weakling is apt to become 
weaker still, if nothing worse,- or likely 
as not it succumbs. The first essential, 
and'to which there can be no exception, 
is for the shepherd to frequently visit the 
charges—say, about three hours at the 
longest during the day while the lambs are 
small. Generally the ewe may be left to 
take care of her family at night.

The Ewe That Needs Care 
It is the ewe with the twins that need 
best keep—the best feed all around. They 
need generous support to enable them to 
hold up their condition under the stress 
of rearing a couple of lambs to enable 
them to fill their milk fonts well enough 
for the family and to support their fleeces, 
which will be required of them. Again, 
presently, good feed is required for the 
lambs to pick a^, because if that is pro¬ 
vided it helps them to help themselves, 
and helps their mothers, too. 
The question is often asked, “when do 
lambs begin to pick at solid foods?” I 
have had some which, under average 
conditions, begin to eat at about three 
weeks old. Then how much they eat 
depends upon the milk they get. If 
twins are running short of milk, and run¬ 
ning on some nice sweet, green award, 
they soon begin to partake freely of the 
luscious herbage. 
But if the green is not inviting and the 
mother’s milk is plentiful, there is much 
more indifference about grazing. To be 
brief, the shepherd worth his salt will see 
that the twins get the best feeds, best 
grass fields, and best forage and roots. A 
pint of oats per head per day until there "is 
a full pasture is the old rule. This grain 
works wonders. It pushes the carcass, 
pushes the milk, helps the lambs direct, 
for they soon nibble at the troughs, and
