The use of ensilage for winter feeding of sheep la becoming more and more the practice among successful shepherds, and many Who tiavq used it claim that It Is Just as valuable for sheep as for dairy cows. It Is In all probability the cheapest food that we ran give to fattening wethers cr breeding ewes. The one important point about It for ewes Is that It must be itely free froth all taint.

Other food should bo given to wethers fattening for market and when a proper mixture of ensilage, corn fodder and a little whole grain Is fed them dally, they do better than If kept on grain alone. One mav arrange this mixture a good deal according to the amount of each on hand, but the ensilage should occupy a prominent part in the ration. High grade sheep can be safely fed ensilage as well as the common stock, but It should not be given In great quantities, especially at first. Two or three pounds of ensilage a day should suffic*’. and In with it there should be mixed about a pound ot hay. If grain is also to be. fed bran and oets make the best mixture.
