SHEEP BARN.
Description and Bill of Materials for
a Most Excellently Arranged
Building.
Mr. Watkins, the greatest sheep man
in Michigan, says the Ohio Farmer,
allows six square feet for each sheep,
but many prefer ten feet per sheep,
and this is not too much for breeding ;
ewes. The gates that separate the
pens may be removed so a wagon or \
manure spreader can be driven
through the stables when they are
cleaned.
Following is the bill of materials to
be used in building a good sheep barn:

WATER FOR DAIRY USE
Test It and Make Sure It Is Pure—
Well Water That Was Full
of Germs.
The makers of butter need to be
very careful about the kind of water
they use in washing the butler and in
washing the churns and other uten
sils. We nave called attention fre
quently to the fact that much of the j
“off” flavor in butter has been found i
to be due to the bad way in which
butter was worked. At one large j
creamery it was found that the water
was being taken from a large tank
which, on investigation, was discov
ered to be very foul. The discarding
of this water supply and the securing
of pure water resulted in a very de
cideu improvement in the quality of
the butter. The Ohio State univer
sity reports that recently one of the
dairy experts connected with that uni
versity was called to Greenville, 0.,
by a creamery company, to determine
the cause of the butter rapidly de
teriorating. They had a concrete
building, well ventilated, well lighted,
and clean. The water for washing the
butter was taken from a well 133 feet
deep, driven in solid rock. The water
was found very hard. The dairy ex
pert had an analysis made of the
water, and it was discovered that
there were 1,800 germs in a single
drop, or 35,000 in a cubic centimeter.
Another well near by was tested, and,
'■lthough this well was only 15 feet
ceep. it was found that the water only
contained two per cent, as many germs
as that found in the deep well water
A third well was tested, this third
well having been sunk to a depth ol
90 feet in the same strata of rock as
the first; the water contained a very
large percentage of bacteria. This Is
contrary to the usual experience, says ;
the Farmers’ Review. In most cases j
the deep wells produce water almosl
entirely free from bacteria. The cast
in Ohio illustrated the fact that nc
rule can be laid down as to the purity
of the water supply, but that each
man must know for himself that the
water he use* is pure.

HANDY SHEEP RACK.
Very Simple in Construction, But
Serviceable. Especially in
Lambing Time.
It is made of two one-inch boards
16 feet long, uprights four feet long,
spaced seven inch
es. Set 15 or 18 j
inches from the j
wall anu secure by
stakes to keep\
from slipping. Heavy twine or rope
keeps it from falling while being filled.
A 16-foot rack accommodates ten
sheep. These are good to use in lamb
ing season for a pen for ewes to keep i
them separate, says the Farm and
Home. I use one in the yard up
against the fence to feed cows.
Sheep for Hilly Land.
If your barn is hilly, pick out a
kind of sheep that are light of foot
and can climb the steeps well. Heavier
and less nimble sheep will do for level
land. And be sure to look well to the
water supply.
New Horse Disease.
A disease not yet named that causes
horses to refuse food and drink and in
a day or two drop down and die in
agony, is reported from Cashmere,
Wash.
Don’t Overload the Horse.
Those who use light-weight horses
for farm work are quite apt to over
lord them. Put on smaller loads and
gel there ot'tener.

SHEARING BY MACHINERY
Experience of One Farmer Prove®
That in This Day It Is Most
Economical.
I have used a sheep-shearing ma
chine for the past five or six years,
writes a correspondent of the Ku.al
New Yorker. They have been very
much improved in that time. The
first knife, or clippers, that I had, very
soon got clogged and did not do good
work on sheep that had fine or oily
wool, or had any wrinkles. The one
I now have, used on the same machine,
will clip any kind of a sheep or wool.
Now as to the direct question: Has
the machine any advantage over hand
work? So long as we had the old
fashioned shearers, who could turn off
150 to 40 sheep a day, well sheared, I
had no need of a machine. As the old
men died off, or were unable to shear
any longer, and because of the scarcity
(fi sheep few young men took up
shearing, it became a problem to kn iw
how to get the sheep well and econom
ically sheared. The men who were
unused to it not only cut the sheep
and tangled up the wool, but they
would shear only a few sheep per day,
which made it expensive. For this
reason I put in a machine. Any man
who is at all handy soon learns how
to hold a sheep, which is the impor
tant thing. A careless man can cut a
sheep badly with the edge of the clip
pers, but soon sees the danger and
avoids it. With the shears the sheep,
in the hands of such a man, is cohered
with little cuts. I find that after a
little practice a man will shear a sheep
every 15 or 20 minutes; and their bod- j
ies will be smooth as a well-clipped
horse. Of course it takes another man
to turn the crank, so it is not so much
of a time saver in the hands of a
novice; but a skilled man, or an old
shearer who knows how to handle a
sheep, will average better than a sheep
every ten minutes. The man who
turns can be a cheap hand, who could
in no case use the shears. I propose
next year to rig a shaft and use my
one and one-half horsepower gasoline
spray engine to urive the machine. It
is not necessary, as some have sup
posed, to use a shears to finish or trim
the legs The same power, with a dif
ferent knife, can be used to clip horses,
or the shearing clippers can be used
on a horse-clipping machine. Like all
machinery, they must be looked after
and kept in order.
Heart
Weakness
The action of the heart de
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. W hen from any
cause they become weak or ex
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart flut
ters, palpitates, skips heats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul
ders. 1 he circulation is im
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish
ment.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure makes
a heart strong and vigorous by
strengthening these nerves and
muscles.
I had palpitation and pain around
ye heart, and tin* doctors said it was
incurable. I don't believe it now for
.after taking six bottles of Dr. Miles’
Jb artt’ure. three bottles of the Nervine
and thr„ boxes of the Nerve and
i.iver fills 1 am entirely cured, and
TeH better than I have for live years,
c.nd it is all due to these remedies. T
'want you to know that your medicines
cured me. It relieved me from the
first dose, and I kept right on till the
r am in my chest was gone, and I kept
on feeling better even after I quit
taking It.” JOHN II. SliBRMAN,
Belding, Mich.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure Is sold by
your druggist, who will guarantee that
the first bottle will benefit. If it fails
he will refund your money.
