SHELTER FOR SHEEP.
Plans For a Barn Should include Dry
Floors and Abundance of Air.
It is impossible to suggest auy ver;
definite sheep barn plans without
knowing under just what conditions
the barn is to be built. In planning
barns or sheds for a breeding flock of
sheep a space of ten or twelve square
feet per ewe will give sufficient room.
The essentials of shelter for sheep are
(1) dry floor, (2) good roof, (3) an abun
dance of fresh air, (4) avoid drafts, (5)
avoid narrow doors and passages so :

WORM INFESTED HORSES.
Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
of Condition.
Many horses get out of condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms. This is especially true of colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have a good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.”
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively to worms, but this
trouble is so common that if the colts

they should for the feed given, a ‘Worm

IMMIGRATICH BILL WINS
Senate Concurs With House In Over-
riding Wilson’s Veto.
Congress has overridden a veto by |
President Wilson for the first time
and enacted into law the immigration
bill with its long-fought literacy test
provision.
The senate voted, 62 to 19, to pass
the measure notwithstanding the veto
and in spite of eleventh hour informa- |
tion that Japan again had protested !
against the language of the Asiatic
exclusion section. The house over-
turned the veto last week by a vote
of 287 to 106, so the senate’s action
ends the contest of twenty years’
standing in which three presidents
have repudiated similar bills passed
by congress.
