When kept under proper conditions,
no farm animal pays better than
sheep, and there is new interest in
the animals now as shown by the fact
that nearly every breeder in North
Carolina has sold out his supply of
rams.
“The fact that sheep produce both
a crop of lambs and a crop of wool
adds greatly to their value and sig-
nificance on the farm,” says R. S.
Curtis of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the North Carolina State
college. “The wool from a good sheep
wfll pay for its keep, especially where
the necessary feed is produced on the
farm. In most cases from 20 to 40
sheep is a sufficient number for the
•average farm. There is usually
enough pasture going to waste to
supply such a small flock of sheep
during the pasture season, and it is
easy to make provision for the win-
ter feed.”
Mr. Curtis states that sheep are not
so different from other farm animals.
The two most serious problems be-
fore the sheep grower are the roaming
dog and the active stomach wmrin.
The latter may be overcome by a
change in pastures and the use of the
bluestone treatment, while the dog may
be frustrated by the use of corrals
at night. Placing the sheep in the
corrals is one of the necessary farm
chores in good sheep practice.
“Other than these two things, the
growing of sheep is a pleasant, satis-
fying and profitable job which most
any member of the family may have
in charge,” says Mr. Curtis. “The
flock may be built up by using a pure-
bred ram on a flock of common grade
ewes, and any farmer can follow this
plan with little initial or subsequent
cost. A net profit of .$320 per year
can be secured from a flock of 30
sheep, according to actual demonstra-
tions.”

New Method of Docking
Lambs Found Excellent
A new method of docking lambs,
which appears to give excellent re-
sults, has been noted recently in sev-
eral agricultural journals. This meth-
od consists of cutting off the tails with
m an emasculator, an instrument prob-
avf'ly familiar to most stockmen by
might be described as a mod-
W^hear with a crimped edge, which
’ *JvePs the arteries in such a way as
to prevent excessive bleeding. The
claim is made for the emasculator, as
a docking instrument, that it is han-
dier than the hot iron, does not cause
so great a shock to the lamb, and does
not cause as much loss of blood as
the knife.
A comparison of the three methods
recently made in the Colorado Agri-
cultural college flock showed favor-
able results from the use of the emas-
culator. Lambs docked with either
the knife or the emasculator were
well healed, when examined two
weeks later, while those docked witTi
the hot iron were not entirely healed
and a few of these showed infection.
No weights were taken of the lambs,
so that no record is available on the
rate of growth. The lambs docked
with the knife usually bled more than
the others, and the stumps had to be
held for a minute or two to check
bleeding.

DR. W. B. CALDWELL.
AT THE AGE OF 83
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticel-
lo, 111., a practicing physician for 47
years, it seemed cruel that so many
constipated infants and children had
to be kept constantly “stirred up” and
half sick by taking cathartic pills, tab-
lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
While he knew that constipation
was the cause of nearly all children’s
little ills, he did not believe that a
sickening “purge” or “physic” was
necessary.
In Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
establish natural bowel “regularity”
even if the child is chronically consti-
pated. e Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin
not only causes gentle, easy bowel
movement but, best of all, it never
Wormy Lambs With Pale
Skin Should Be Avoided
Beware of the lamb with the pale
skin—don’t buy them. If you are
wondering whether lambs are getting
wormy or not, open up the wool and
take a look at the skin. If the skin
of a lamb here and there is fading
out and his mouth membranes are
becoming pale, the lambs are slipping.
Neglect to kill the worms in the flock
and likely the pale lambs will grow
more and more numerous. The pale
lambs will be the ones to bury and
the pink-skinned lambs will be at the
rack eating their hay.
