The sheep shed 18 80 by 60 feet and cost $200. Its capacity is 100 ma- ture sheep. It was built of hemlock lumber over a superstructure of oak posts. The roof and west end were covered with tar paper. An alley six teet wide rune the full length of the inner side of the shed, The hay shed attached ' affords a place for storage of teed and lambing pens, The shed is divided into seven pens for experimental purposes, Three lots instead of seven would probably be more desirable under average farm conditions. Under such conditions also breeding sheep in winter quarters should be divided into groups with reference to age and condition. Breed. ing sheep should be separated from fattening sheep. An exercise yard thirty-two feet wide adjoins each pen. These are well drained and dry. 2 M6 3 0 0N S S 0N O 6 N 0N O S N W LIVE STOCK NOTES. : With the Increased price of ¥ horses more attention s belng ¥ pald to the care of the growing ¥ colts.

Alfalfa as a feed for hogs will pro- SHEns IN WINTE“ duce more pork per acre than any other forage crop grown in Kansas, asserts Ray Gatewood, instructor in animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agri- cultural college.

Figuring the pork at 6 cents a pound, it would mean that an acre of alfalta was worth $120. In a winter experiment a hundred pounds of alfalfa hay displaced ninety- 'slx pounds of corn. Five pounds of corn was necessary for one pound of pork, and therefore the hundred pounds of alfalfa made nineteen pounds of pork. The average annual yleld for al- falfa hay is about four tons per acre. This fed in connection with corn would make 1,600 pounds of pork, or $96 an acre for alfalfa hay, In an experiment on pasturing it was shown that an acre of alfalfa pastured for 163 days produced 591.8 pounds of oork. Care should be take pot to pas- ture too closely, as alfalfa will not stand heavy foraging. It is best to so pasture that at least two cuttings of hay may be taken off in addition te that eaten by the hogs. ‘The Shropshire sheep 1s one of the Down breeds, known in this coun- try as “middle wools.” There are more Shropshires here than any other of the Down breeds.
