MUTTON SHEEP CARDINAL POINTS IN
THEIR MANAGEMENT.
In accordance with my promise, made
Some time since, 1 now give you a short ac
count of my management of sheep. My
experience at the commencement, was any
thing hut encouraging, from want of prac-'
tical knowledge. My first great difficulty
arose from the lessons I had so often heard
repeated about the impropriety of keeping
sheep, especially breeding ewes, too fat.
Now the result was, that in trying to avoid
this extreme, I fell into the other, and found
to my cost, when my ewes commenced lamb
ing, that they were quite too poor ; conse
quently there were many losses—the ewes
not having strength to produce their lambs
properly, or nourishment to support them.
1 maintain, that low condition, and the
necessary accompaniment—the want of a
sufficient llow of milk, is the principal cause j
of the abandonment on the part of the ewe,
of her progeny—except occasionally with |
young ewes with their first lambs.
Finding that this system of low diet was
not very satisfactory, 1 have since tried the
other course, and find that sheep, like all
other animals, require generous feeding,
and will make ample return for it iu the
shape of mutton, wool, and last, though uot i
least, satisfaction and profit.
The tlu-ee cardinal points in the success
ful management of sheep, are proper shelter,
judicious feeding and kind treatment. For
shelter, my arrangements are simple and
inexpensive, and as they answer a good
purpose, I will give a short description of
them. They are rough sheds, enclosed on
three sides, and open to the south, with
yards attached, enclosed by high picket
fences, to make them dog proof. At the
back of each shed a board is hung on hin
ges, which can be raised and lowered as
required for ventilation ; this board or shut
ter is four or five feet from the ground, so
that when open, there is no draft upon the
sheep, but the current of air passes above
them, keeping the pen from all unpleasant
effluvia. These shutters are nearly always
kept open, except in stormy weather, when
they are closed, to prevent rain or snow
from blowing upon the sheep. Fresh air,
with protection from storms, is absolutely
necessary for the well-doing of sheep.—
The racks are so arranged that the hay is
thrown into them from the loft above, which
is much better than carrying it among the
sheep ; it disturbs them less, and their
wool is kept cleaner. The pens should at
all times be kept well littered ; by attending
to this, it will be found that sheep will
make a large quantity of very excellent
manure, and at the same time be more com
fortable and better for it.
To have the two latter points— judicious
feeding and kind treatment —properly carried
out, requires strict personal attention on
the part of the owner ; if left to the tender
mercies ot Patrick, something is very apt
to go wrong.
.Sheep if kindly treated become very tame
and confiding ; whenever 1 see them timid
and wild on the approach of their keeper,
1 infer that their treatment is not as gentle
as it should be. As to the exact amount of
food to be given it is very difficult to state,
so much depends on circumstances ; of hay
they should have as much as they will eat
nearly clean, three times a day. If too
much is given, they will only pull it out of
their racks and waste it. In clear cold
weather they will require more than in damp
mild weather.
My plan is to keep the ewes, lambs, and
yearlings, in separate lots. I generally
have twenty-five breeding ewes ; they are
kept in a pen about thirty feet square, ra
ther more than half covered by shedding,
the rest open yard, as above described.—
This gives them plenty of room, but uot too
much for heavy, long-wooled sheep.
A few weeks before lambing, the ewes
should have some grain, about a pint per
head—more or less, according to condition
—ol oats or yats and corn mixed. As they
lamb, they should be separated from the
flock and their feed increased, and if there
are any roots on hand they would now come
in very serviceably; too much attention
cannot be given to seeing that they have
plenty of fresh water at all times ; salt
should also be constantly within their reach.
At lambing time ewes require a great
deal of attention, but to enter upon this
subject would require too much spacx) for
this communication.
About the first of August the lambs are
weaned, to enable the ewes to recruit some
what before the buck is turned among them
—which is done in the latter part ofJSeptem
ber. By this means the lambs come about
the first of March, which I prefer to having
them come later, always having found that
early lambs do better than late ones. The
ewes should be put upon poor pasture, for
a few days after being separated from the
iambs, to check the flow of milk ; this pre
caution may prevent injury to their udders.
The lambs, on the contrary, should have
the best of pasture—a recently laid down
field with a good deal of clover, I prefer ;
and as soon as the grass begins to fail in
the fall, I give them, and my other sheep
as well, a little hay in the evening when
they arc driven to their folds, which pre
vents them from losing condition before
they arc taken into winter quarters.
It is very essential if good sheep are
desired, that the lambs should be well cared
for the first winter ; this is the period that
to a very great extent makes the sheep,
and no after attention will compensate for
neglect at this time. My lambs get a small
quantity of oats during the fall, merely to
get them iccustomed to eating them ; the
quantity is gradually increased to about a
half a pint each by the time the grass fails,
after which they are fed a pint each, of a
mixture of oats and Corn—in the proportion
of three parts of oats to one of corn—with
as much hay as they will consume; an oc
casional feed of mangel wurtzel is also giv
en, which they should receive daily with
their grain, if I had them in sufficient quan
tity iam fully convinced that to produce
the best results in sheep husbandry, roots
are absolutely essential, and for this pur
pose I prefer mangel wurtzels or Swedish
turnips.
Lambs will makedesidedly better growth,
and keep in healthier condition, if fed a
liberal quantity of roots with their allow
ance of grain and hay, and will bear con
finement in airy sheds without injury.—
But if tliey don't get vegetable roots in
their folds, they had better have an occas
ional run in the Oelds to get grass roots,
. for grass there is none iu winter.) With
the above treatment, my lambs are perfect
ly healthy—making rapid growth, and
shearing from ten to thirteen pounds of
wool each. They are not put with tho flock
of breeding ewes till they are about eigh
teen months old ; by this means they do
not produce lambs until tliey have nearly
or quite attained the age of two years.—•
I hey are then sufficiently matured to bring
forth iii their turh, good strong lambs, with
out injury to themselves. This is not the
case when ther are permitted to lamb at
an earlier period.
The yearling weathers, with the culls of
the ewes, are fed during the winter so as
to be ready for market in February, at
which time they usually command the high
est price. The yearling wethers average'
about one hundred and fifty pouuds, and j
some of the best of the ewes reach nearly |
two hundred. C. E. 11.
BEST WAY TO Rf.AR CALVES.
EDS. CO. GENT. —Agreeable to promise I
will give you my mode of feeding and rais
ing calves. Perhaps the numerous readers
of the Country Gentleman will say the sub
ject is already exhausted, and that they
kuow all about the small matter of raising ,
calves. Perhaps they do, but as there is
a great diversity of opinion on the subject,
I hope you may pardon me for what little I
may say. Economy in these times of high
taxes, is quite an important item to every
farmer, and as this principle can be applied
with profit to a great many points in our
profession, perhaps by an interchanging of
views we may be able to apply it in some
measure to rearing calves.
Some claim that a good calf cannot be
raised unless tliey draw the milk themselves
from the cow ; and others that they must
certainly be fed new milk for two or three
months. Now let us investigate this sub
ject on the principles of economy, and see
if it is profitable. Suppose the calf takes
one-half of the milk of a good cow for 90
days, what would the calf cost at that age
with butter at fifty cts. per pound ? Only
the moderate little sum of about $22,50.
Rather a costlj calf. But without any far
ther comments on the different modes of
treatment, I will proceed to give my meth
od, and in so doing I shall have to go iuto
i detail somewhat.
In the first place, 1 let the calf remain
with the cow from two to three days ; theu j
put him away by himself, when the process i
of learning him to drink commences, and a
little patience saves a great amount of,
trouble. The calf is usually tied with a ;
rope, or put in stanchions, at feeding time,
and in learning it to drink by putting the
hand on the nose and pressing the fore fin-!
ger on the end near the month, he will
reach out his tongue, got a taste of the j
milk, and learn very readily to drink from
the pail. 1 sometimes feed new milk for a
day or two ; then let the mild stand twelve
hours, take off the cream, warm the inilk,
and feed to the calf for a week or so ; then
let it stand twenty-four hours, being care
fill not to feed too much so as to loosen the
bowels ; and after the calf gets to be four
or six weeks old, it will eat almost any
thing you give him.
I prefer to keep them up in the stable or
small yard, until tliey are two or three
months old, and give them what hay they
will eat, and this treatment keeps the bow
els more regular than to let them run to
grass. 1 find a small quantity of oil cake
! meal a very good addition for a month or
[ two at first. A little dry clay I think very
good for them to lap occasionally where
they are kept confined.
I have seen very fine calves raised in
this way, and have raised a great many
good ones myself. I will give you the
dressed weight of one eleven months old,
that I raised a few years ago. It was fed
all summer with skimmed milk with the ad
dition of a little corn meal for the last
three months. Ilis dressed weight was
500 lbs., with 25 lbs. rough tallow. I do
not pretend that a calf raised on skimmed
milk will look as fine as those raised on
new milk, but I claim that you can raise
very good ones, and far more economically,
| aud especially in the dairy districts where
we have a large quantity of milk to feed.
One very essential part, in raising calves
in this way, is to feed each calf by itself,
so that each one shall have his regular
mess, as some will drink a great deal fas
| ter than others.
1 have always noticed where a lot of
i calves were fed all together in a long
! trough, there would be some very poor
ones, and this is owing to some drinking
faster than others. Now to those that are
skeptical in regard to raising calves on
skimmed milk, I say try it, and see if, on
the principles of economy,you cannot make
it pay. If you wish to fatten, add shorts
or meal, and I have no doubt you will suc
ceed to your entire satisfaction.
JOHN SHATTIH K.
TAINTED MEAT, FISH, OR POULTRY. —The fol
lowing directions in regard to the use of
charcoal, in cooking, are given by " Per
scrntation " : '* When meat, fish, etc., from
the heat of the weather, or long keeping,
are likely to spoil, powdered charcoal, sprin
kled over it, will not only stop the progress
of putrefaction, but it will sweeten that
which has already become tainted. If
meat, or fish has acquired an unpleasant
flavor, or does not smell perfectly fresh,
when prepared to boil, by tying up a few
pieces of charcoal in a small cloth, and put
ting them into the pot while boiling, it
removes everything disagreeable. The ad
dition of a teaspoonful of saleratus,instead
of charcoal, will remove any unpleasant
taste or smell, unless it is very bad. Poul
try sometimes becomes tainted by being
kept too long ; to make it sweet and good,
put some powdered charcoal in a piece of
cloth, and put it in the iuside of the fowl
for sometime before cooking ; it will draw
out all the bad smell, as may be perceived
by smelling the cloth, which is often most
offensive."
MILKING Cows.—Cows should always be
treated kindly, and as far as possible al
ways have the same milker. A fractious
man should not be allowed to handle a
spirited cow. Kindness and gentleness
arc always best; beating and pounding
should not be tolerated. If a cow or heifer
persist in kicking under kind treatment,
take a small rope and quietly fasten around
the opposite fore foot, thence bring it over
the back to hang by the milker ; when she
kicks again, without saying a word, draw
her foot up to her body. You can now
handle her as you please. She will strug
gle to release her foot, but to no purpose,
and will soon crouch to the floor. Now let
her get up again, and pet her a little If
she kicks again repeat the operation as of
ten, and you will soon find she will not
move a foot while you arp milking, unless
there is some irritating cause like sine
teats or sharp finger-nails.— Country Gen
tleman.
BOXES FOR POULTRY. —Fasten pieces of
wide boards on three sides of a hard stone,
and with a hammer break the bones from
the kitchen in small fragments, not larger
than peas. liens that are laying will eat
them with avidity. Bones from fresh meat,
if broken fine so that hens will swallow
the pieces, are excellent to make them lay.
Poultry of all kinds should be well sup
plied with sharp gravel also at this season
of the year. Pounded oyster shells, where
tliey can be obtained, afford one of the best
means of supplying lime.
GIRDLED TREES. —These may often be:
saved by the use of plaster or cow-dung
and clav or loam bound on with a cloth.—
Put on a plenty to retain moisture.
Good men have the fewest fears. He
has but one who fears to do wrong. He
has a thousand who has overcome that one.
HE who by the plow would thrive, him
self must either hold or drive.
