H E Allen of the Animal Husbandry Department at Purdue outlines practical steps for sheep breeders to prepare for lambing season. He covers prenatal care, housing, nutrition, health checks, and labor guidance to improve lamb survival and flock well being.
The article warns lambing time is critical and urges fall preparation. It advises strengthening flocks with adequate winter feeding of clover, roots, silage, oats and bran mix, plus oil meal, increasing grain after lambing. It stresses dry shelter, avoiding drafts, and planned exercise and shed setup to reduce lamb losses. It also notes careful shepherding and gradual interference during birthing to maximize profitability.
The guide notes thin sows in fall should gain weight through winter. A 50 pound gain covers winter losses, supports milk for the litter, but excess fat from corn alone reduces exercise and triggers poor pig development. Balanced rations with corn, shorts, tankage or oil meal plus pasture and a clean shed yield strong litters and early market readiness.
Alfalfa thrives for the committed sower who puts in effort, yields big gains for the eager grower, and proves a sure loss for the indifferent planter. The saying highlights the link between effort and reward in farming.

William A. Radford, noted editor and author, will answer readers’ questions about building at no cost. He describes an eight room combined cottage and two story design with elevated front and side gables, three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a peak storeroom over the kitchen. He stresses the value of storerooms for seasonal needs and thrift.
The article argues for compact, affordable homes that can expand to ten rooms if needed. It praises modern conveniences, up-to-date architects, and efficient furnishings over lavish but costly spaces, noting a 26 ft 6 in by 35 ft 6 in footprint and an estimated build cost around 1 500 dollars.
A French author argues Napoleon III sided with Britain in the Crimean War partly due to English club welcome and partly due to a Russian slight. Nicholas I replied as "Mon grand ami" to presidents, signaling a snub. Napoleon noted the czar’s message and flexed with a sharp remark at Count Kisslew.
Orison Swett Marden argues that health mirrors mental attitude and vivid self-images. He urges picturing vigor and strength, rejecting weakness, and acting as if healthy to shape life accordingly.
