CURIOUS

As an Indication of one of the curiosities
of cross-breeding. the London Agricultural
Gazette relates the following:
A sow of the small black Suffolk breed.
having had two litters to a pure boar of her
own race and color, was put to q large
white boar of the form and strain exhibited
in the large breed classes. When in far
row, divers speculations as to the color of
her produce would be were ventured upon
by her owner and his herdsman. A neigh
Dor was strong on the certainty of parti-
colored pigs. The actual result is Il litter
OF twelve, of which six are entirely white !;
not a spot mars the uniformity of either hue.
1t is not often that the opposing. claims of
fathers and mothers family to determine
the character of the children are so equita-
bly, adjusted.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-02-06
BREEDING OF FINE sTocH.

The following from the Marx Lane Er-
press is the right sort of breeding doctrine
to preach. After recommending that the
beginning should, if possible, be made at
home by purchases from neighbors, the
writer continues: Strengthen what has
thus been obtained, by an infusion of what
blood you find, on study, to suit best or, if
you be imaginative, calculate a cross for
yourself. Keep pairing, within a narrow
circle, so long as no symptoms of physical
intirmlty show themselves. Select c%ontinu-
ally the best specimens developed, and keep
wedding OUT the weak SO with ordinary
luck, you will do rs all other distinguished
improyers of stock have done before you,
you will justly win a name, you will supply
the market with new stuff, and you will
fill up your pockets with money-at least,
If you cannot thus, you will in no other
way. But, in the first instance, do not go
too far aiield; to begin with, get as high as
you can upon the shoulders of the genera
ton before you. Then be plncky, perse-
vering and prudent.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-02-06
THE YAK.

The yak, called granting OK, is to the
mountaineers of Thibet what the horse, the
ass, the COW and sheep are to America and
Europe. The yak furnishes food to the ip-
habitants, in its flesh and its milk it car
ries heavy burdens, takes to the yoke easy,
and serves tor agricultural work. From its
long and abundant fleece is obtained a silky
wool, which serves to make warm and
strong clothing. The furry coat OF the
young animals is curly and woolly, resem-
bling that known as Astrachan, obtained
from a breed Of sheep. Very fecund and
hardy, they resist the most vigorous cold
and brave the most stormy seasons. The
inhabitants of 1hibet have the same respect
for the yak which the Brahmins have for
the zebra.

LIVE { STOCK

STEWARD says, in the Shepherds Manual,
that the Cotswold-Merino cross makes a
fine sheep. They are without horns, with
bare faces resembling Cotswolds, but with
the pink noses of the Merino. The wool is
much finer than in the Cotswold, very
bright, with good curl, thickly set OIL the
skin, and well filled with liquid yellow oil,
but free from solid yolk Or gum. The
fleece is better closed than that of the Cots
void and is easily kept free from dirt and
dust. The flesh is firmer than that of the
Cotswold and thicker than in the Merino,
both back and ribs being we'll covered. The
wool is scant below the knee and hook.
This is the character of the first cross.
When inbred without further crossing, this
character is we'll maintained. The cross
bred animals and their produce are of strong
constitution, mature quickly, becoming
prime fat at - to II months old, and weigh
alive, at that age, 40 to l4S pounds.

Turf, Field and Farm, speaks of the ship
ment of a fine lot of cattle, the past year,
from "Elkhorn county, Illinois," Try
again. You're just a "little OFF, in your
geography.-Pra5rie Farmer.
The same article was anything but COM
plimentary to Montana beef growers. 1t
regarded Colorado beeves as better fitted
for the rifle of the huntsman than the knife
Of the butcher, and said that Montana cat
tie were more ungainly still. If our con-
temporary was a 'little Off in his geogra-
ply in regard to Illinois beeves, it is fair to
presume he was considerably off in regard
to Montana cattle. 1t either misses it in ge-
ography or he is no Judge Of stock. Four
year-old steers that dress 900 pounds in the
month of April when driven from the range
where they have neither had hay nor shell
ter the entire winter, as Montana beeves Of
ten do, must be pretty well shaped animals.
chances are that the TazJf, Field end
Farm man was thinking of Texas.
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-02-06
MEXICAN SHEEP.

DR.. Collier informs us that in the valley
between the Cucharas and the Apishapa, u
strip twenty miles wide, there are from 80
GOO to 40 1000 Mexican sheep that would not
sell for more than sixty-five or seventy
cents on an average, and yet they eat as
much as sheep worth So or So a head.
There is certainly no profit in such stock;
but the same is true of texas cattle, of scrub
stock generally. AS suggested elsewhere,
our stockmen mast turn over anew leaf, get
better stock, take better care of them, or
suffer the consequences.-Pueblo Democrat,
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1879-02-06

than to any others down to the present time.
1t is asserted that they were the real and
chief %improvers of the Short-horn race, and
its merit and glory, as we'll as its distin-
guished history, dates from them. This
was ninety-eight years ago, so that for
about a century their distinct and peerless
excellence has been universally acknowl-
edged. Nearly all Short-horn stock, which
is claimed to be thoroughbred, have to run
their pedigrees back to that date and those
breeders; as we propose in these articles
only to give the rise and early history of
the Of the several breeds of cattle, we leave
the reader to gather their later record from
other sources.
The S~hort-horn's traits and merits, which
give them pre-eminence, are hard to be ex-
celled. They are docility of character, ear
ly maturity, large size, and choice quality
OF beef. No other class can claim so many
qualities.-Iowa State Register.
