Ewes that so into the lambing season in poor‘ condition give disappointing ‘ re- ' suits when the lambs are marketed i and in addition they create ad-i dltlonal work and trouble through- l out the year. i‘ poorly fed. a per- ,’ rentage of the older ewes will not K survive the winter, the lambs born I will be smaller than normal with,- impairedstrength bringing hlghl mortality. The ewes will not milkj well and the gains of the lambs will not be satisfactory. Experiments conducted at the; Central Experimental Farm, Otta- l we. says S. B. Williams of the Ani- i mal Husbandry Division show that , for feeding pregnant ewes rough-l ages are of value, in proportion to , their legume content. When tlmo- l i thy. a non-legume hay. was fed, the ewes lost weight, deaths follow- cd. the lambs were small. and onc- . third did not survive. with alfalfa i hay, the lambs were a pound heav- f icr at birth and deaths were cut] to seven per cent. In addition the lnmhs from ewes fed alfalfa galn- f ed on the average about one third faster than lambs from those fcd timothy. Lamhs from ewes fed on mixed hay gave results that were lnternlediate In all respects. It was found that the best re- sults were obtained when corn sli- , age and gralrl was added to the hay l ration.
