' ECONOMICAL FEED FOR SHEEP Alternating Pasturage Advised to Keep Plants Growing and Pre- - vent Stomach Worms. (Prepared by the United States Depart: ment of Agriculture.) Because of the importance of eco- nomical feeding In profitable sheep ralsing, the United States department of agriculture directs special attention to opportunities for growing forage crops as a feed for lambs and ewes. Barly spring pasturages of wheat or rye may be used at the start. These provide succulent green feed appetiz- ing to the ewes and lambs. Overpas- turing, however, must be avoided when these crops are later to be used for grain. Where it is possible to keep the rye or wheat pasture about 134 to two inches high, the lambs and ewes seem - to relish it more and will consume larger gmounts. Oats and Canadian field peas may be sown together early fn the spring at the rate of 1% bushels of fleld peas and 11 bushels of.oats to the acre. This crop should then be ready when it s time to take the flock off the rye or wheat. Rape, another good forage crop, may be sown at the rate of six to eight pounds an acre, and will provide later following the oats and Ca- nadign field peas. In sectlons where soy beans and cowpeas grow satisfac- torily - they furnish an excellent mid- summer pasture. If sowed later they pake a good forage crop in late sum- mer and early fall. When sown in corn they serve as an excellent supplement to the corn for fattening lambs. ¥ pastured by alternating the graz ing in different parts and not allowing any particular section to be too closely eaten, a flield of soy beans may be used for a considerable time. When most of the leaves have been eaten it is time to move to a fresh portion of the fleld 80 that the plants on the grazed part will have a chance to leaf again. In some sections it may be desirable to cut this growth and use it for hay, es- pecially ‘when other leguminous hays are not available, It 18 good practice to sow rape af the last cultivation of corn. The lambs can then be turned in the corn fleld in the fall and will feed upon the lower "' Lambs not oniy ‘make a rapid and cheap gain on forages of this kind, but ‘a forage-crop ‘system prevents, to a large extent, injury from stomach worms. It has been demonstrated that by changing lambs every two weeks to ground not previously grazed that sea- son, stomach worms can be effectively Sheep on Pasture. controlled. Since this condition ex- ists, it is better to have the pastures of a convenient size, so that the lambs and ewes will consume all the forage in a perfod of about two weeks and again be turned on a new pasture. This does not allow the use of a sec ond growth. The groand can then be plowed and a second crop seeded to afford later forage crops. ‘Where lambs are to go to market an effort should be made to get them off early. Lambs make the best and cheapest gains during the- first four months of their lives. A grain feed fed in a lamb creep arranged in the field will prove helpful in pushing the lambs along and keeping them in good condition. This feed should consist of corn, oats and bran. Lambs should be fed all but no more than they will clean up each day. Neyer put clean feed into the trough where old feed remains, 3 Lambs weighing 60 to 75 ‘pounds make the most desirable market offer- ,ing. The reason is that lambs of this sise dress out a desirable market car- cass, which can be more readily han- dled by the butcher, in meeting the de- ) mands of his trade. Heavier lambs do . not sell so readily, and when supplies are large there may be a small price discrimination in favor of lambs under ! 80 pounds. b Growers will find that by following a gystem of forage crops for rotation of pasturage to prevent stomach ‘worms, and supplying grain feed in a lamb creep to keep the lambs gaining | steadily, lirger profits can be Good Shelter for Pigs. Pigs need a place of shelter to ap- propriate when the weather is bad, and shade when the sun is too hot for f their endurance.
