The DAIRY DEPARTM INT
GOOD MILKING sHoRTHoRNs.

The Shorthorn breed Of cattle for some
reason has not been talked up much as a
milking breed. Its superiority for beef and
especially for early maturity is probably
n reason why it has attained less promi-
hence as a mixer. That there are good
mixers among Shorthorns is shown by the
following letter in the Country Gentleman
from G. G. Moore, of Chester county, Penn
%sylvania;
Aubray Hoffman seventeen years ago
bought a shorthorn heifer coming two years
old, which did not prove with calf. He spent
some time looking for a mate for her, and
when he found one that suited his notions,
their first calf was a heifer. They were
mated again and the second calf was a heif-
er. Ihe mother and her two daughters
(when the second daughter was five or six
months Old made in n year 1913 pounds

of butter. The trial began on the 9th Of
March. 1865, and ended the 9th Of March,
the next wear. The old cow had been
MIXED five months when the experiment
began. the oldest daughter had just had her
calf taken away from her, and the youngest
dauo1,ter did not calve until the last Of May.
What they would have made, had they all
been fresh mixers III the 9th of March,
when the experiment began, cannot be told.
The experiment was continued the next
wear. with the same three cows, with the adj
dition of a two-year-old heifer, also from the
old cow. which resulted in their making
1,211 pounds, weighed out in pound prints
for market.
This strain of COW is very prolific, bring
ing a calf every year. Three-fourths of her
calves are heifers. The heifers have all been
raised, and are all good mixers and good
butter cows. The old COW is nineteen years
old, and will soon have her sixteenth calf,
never having missed once, and last year she
made in one week, ten pounds Of butter for
market.
The first three COWS on the day of the Oct
ober election, in the year of the first expert
ment, were weighed on the scale in the pres
ence of the people there assembled, the old
COW, Red Rose, weighing $50 pounds; the
Oldest daughter, Hoffman's Star, 1920
pounds, and the youngest, HoiSinan's Dolly,
1,760 pounds.

bourne. In the island continent there ought
TO be a fair field for a well-conducted veteri-
nary school,. The Australian horses, cattle
and sheep, now valued at fifty million sterl-
ing, are rapsdly rising in number and
value. Horses of every description are in
creasing in demand both at home and for
the Indian market. Pedigree Shorthorns
are multiplying prosperous towns are re-
curing more butchers meat; the adjacent
Fiji Islands, it is expected, will call for sup
plies both of store and fat stock; wool is
annually exported to the value OF seven
millions sterling. The heavy losses hitherto
sustained by stock owners further point to
the growing need of educated trained veteri-
n%arians. Mr.. Alexander Bruce, chief in
spector of stock for New South Wales, sets
forth a sad category of evils beginning with
scab, which in some seasons proves a loss OF
several millions sterling; OF contagious
pleuro-pneumonia, which, Notwithstanding
its being supposed to be held in check by
incubation, still causes widespread and seri-
Gus losses. Epizootic, catarrh, black-leg
and other blood diseases, flukes, and various
parasitic complaints claim thousands OF vic
tins, beggar not a few settlers, and might be
mitigated, or even prevented, were their
nature and causes intelligently studied by
competent observers properly trained in an
efficient veterinary college.

SHEEP.
in summer.

In this article I propose to write of the
uses of sheep, the dignity of the calling of a
shepherd, and to write more particularly on
Southdowns and Cotswold, or ~long-wooled
sheep.
Among the .antedlluvians, sheep were
inundated for sacriticial offerings, and their
fleeces probably furnished them with cloth
ing. Since the deluge their flesh has, with
all nations, been a favorite food for man. BY
many of the rude, rowing nations OF the
East, they are employed in carrying bur
dens. Their milk is used by the uncivilized,
and to a small extent by the refined nations
of Europe, not only as a beverage, but for
making cheese, butter and curds. In Wales
the milk is mixed with that of the dairy,
and makes a tart, palatable cheese. The
sheep is used by some persons at the tread
mill to churn milk, etc.
A great deal could be said of the dignity
and Importance of the shepherds VOCATION
Abel, the supposed twin-brother of the first
born of the human race, was a keeper of
Sheep Abraham, Job, Moses, the states
man and lawgiver, and David, the Monarch
| of Israel, were keepers of sheep. 1t was to
shepherds. while watching their fiocks by
night that the birth of the Savior was an
| nounced.
Profane writer's have made the sheep the

CARE OF RAMS.

Merino rams are good for service up to
ten or twelve years old. 1t is supposed that
the rams of such old rams as are not as Wig
GUS as young or middle-aged rams; but if
taken care of, and if he has never been
abused. I cannot see any difference. | saw
some splendid lambs this fall from a ram
twelve years old.
A ram lamb should not be used at all, ex-
cept to two or three ewes, to see how he
breeds. A yearling may run with twenty
five ewes, a two-year-old with thirty-five or
forty, and a mature ram with about fifty
ewes. Not more than one ram should run.
with a flock Of ewes, as they excite each
other to an unnatural and unnecessary ac-
tivity, betides frequently injuring each other
in fighting. The ram should counter bal
ance any defects which the W may have.
The period Of CESSATION in the eve is about
152 days.
The best paint for marking sheep is vene-
tan red, or lamp black mixed with flax
seed oil, with a little turpentine. The vene-
tan red is the best where sheep have a good
top, or !" black top" The onlysafe way in
which a flock OF sheep can be improved, is
to have each sheep numbered and regis
tered. l would always, unless my ewes
were very greasy, use a ram that has plenty
of yolk, enough so that the lambs from him
