Feed Ewes Carefully Before Lambing Time for Good Lamb Crop
Michigan farmers expect many lambs soon. R H Nelson of Michigan State College urges careful ewe care during late pregnancy to boost lamb survival and vigor. Include grain in the ration in the last month, about half a pound per ewe daily, with oats as a preferred grain or mixed grains. Protein supplement like soy bean meal helps with low quality hay. Add bran for minerals and bulk. Provide iodized salt or iodide to prevent goiter.

Lawn Fertilizer Basics for Seeding and Growth
Lawns that look seedy need fertilizer more than seed, as shade trees win in moisture. Nitrogen is key. 2-12-6 mixes common, and a 12-8-4 substitute works. Apply 10 to 15 pounds per 1000 square feet as soon as weather allows, preferably before a spring rain, with sprinkling if rain is unavailable.
