Experience of an ldaho Farmer In Handling a Flock. I am not in the sheep business yery heavily. I feed nothing but hay, which in‘wild grass I feed on the snow, writes an Idaho correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer.. There Is a spring in my yard that never freezes over, which supplies plenty of good water. At night my sheep are kept in a log barn. I have had quite a bit of experience in feeding sheep. They are as easily wintered as other stock. I do not have as much loss in winter as I do in summer. I have to feed about four months out of the year, which I believe is a long time. I fig- ure it takes twenty tons of hay to win- ter 100 sheep. A lamb dropped in April or May in a year pays for his keep with his fleece. I have handled sheep for several years, beginning with fifty ewes. I did so well the first year that I bought 200 more, and there is where I fell down. I was crowded for room, and the weather at lambing time was cold, wet and disagreeable. Conse- quently I lost a number of my lambs. A farmer has no business having more stock than he has the room to care for, and it is necessary to have plenty of feed at all seasons of the year, especi- ally during the months of March and April. I believe a beginner should start with a few ewes and gradually work into the business. My experience has been that sheep are the most profitable stock on the farm, as they bring good money and quick returns. Thumips In Pigs. This disease, while very common in little pigs, has never been thoroughly worked out. It is usually associated, however, with errors in diet, either on the part of the sow or the pigs them- selve It is found that it frequently follows if the sow be heavily fed previ- ous to farrowing; also it is produced in the young pigs if the diet be such as to set up indigestion. The disease itself is merely a contraction of the dia- phragm and in that respect resembles hiccoughs in man. It seems, however. to be a more serious disease in pigs and not so readily amenable to treatment. C. F.
