The PERFECT SHEEP.-ConstitntiOn
will be given the first place in the
list of requisites to the perfect sheep.
Without this sheet anchor to success
the breeders efforts will be vain.
Constitution, with the rotundity of
outline and completeness of detail its
presence implies is an essential to
every successful effort at improve
ment which the breeder must keep in
mind as certainly as the architect
must observe the laws of gravitation.
DR.. RANDALL is credited with saying
that there were three essentials to a
good sheep: first, constitutions; sec
ond constitution; third CONSTITUTION
and no man knew better than he
what sheep ought to be.
From this common centre whereon
all counsellors will be found standing
many paths have been trod, many
achievements secured. Size of body,
number and character of wrinkles,
weight of fleece, and peculiarities of
its fibre, have each, at the hands of
some breeder, received such special
cultivation as to force them into even
abnormal development. Variations
in these directions have found war
rant in widely different and often
changing circumstances surrounding
breeders. Localities with sparse veg
citation suggest the cultivation of 1.-THE
and easily kept animals, upon which
the daily task of grazing "from sun
to sun" leaves no ill-efeets; while in
regions of luxuriant grass and grain
are to be found those heavy bodies
and fleeces which are at once the won
der and admiration of the observer
and breeder. At some point within
the range of these extremes, the most
fastidious are enabled to find sheep
suited to their fancy, or so nearly APP
preaching that standard, as to enable
them to reach it by q few years of
intelligent effort. And right worth
lily have these wrought rs the many
and magnificent achievements in es-
tablishing varieties bear abundant
testimony. Given their present van
tage ground, that their unfailing skill
and untiring energy can safely be de
pended upon for still further achieve
ments, there is every reason for believ-
ing-JounM.

A MODEL Stock FARM.-Our readers
will notice this month as well as last
that Bowman Bros, of Waverly, Iowa,
publish neat and attractive card of
their stock. There is no more relia
BILE and wide awake firm breeding

III. and w. r. Bowman, proprietors
of the "Willow Lawn Stock Farm
Their farm contains over 5000 acres
of as fine land as is to be found in
the State of Iowa, nearly all of which
is under the highest state of cultiva-
ton, and managed personally by the
owners, who are also bankers, seeing
personally to one of the largest bank
ing establishments in the State. They
breed thoroughbred and draft
horses of all the different breeds, also
short horn cattle of the most popular
and useful families of the day, Jer
sey cattle of as fine strains as are to
be found in the country. These be-
sides all the best and most widely
known breeds of swine, sheep and
poultry, make this the most expensive
fine stock breeding establishment in
the west and one of the leading ones
of the continent. A representative of
the Farmer went over their farm, and
through their stock and barns short
time ago, and was perfectly astonish
ed at so immense an establishment of
this kind. To enter into details of
this vast institution wonld take more
space than we have to command.
Suffice it to say that the perfect sys
TEN and management displayed by
the Bowman Bros, in their large farm
and stock breeding operations is, sim
ply wonderful. Everything about
the place, from the smallest chicken
to the beautiful stallion shows that
the institution is being run by a mas
ter hand. Their barns and other out
buildings surpass any thing in the
State. There is no man in the State
of lowe who is breeding fine stock,
but would be well paid by making a
visit to the Willow Lawn Stock Farm
and see how it is done there. With
out the least intention of casting slurs
at the Iowa State Agricultural Col
lege, candor leads us to say that in
our Judgment man or boy would
learn more about practical farming
and stock raising at Willow Lawn in
two days than at the College in twelve
months, and also that the managers
and owners of Willow Lawn know
more about that business than do all
the professors that are, or have been,
engaged at our State College since its
organization. saFf ra1

SHIPPING Hoes TO MARKET.-At
this season of the year, when the
weather is very hot, enormous num-
bers of hogs are lost by shippers from
overlooking the cars. The more
closely hogs are crowded together, the
greater is the danger from heat. 1t
is best to ship on an evening train,
that will reach its destination before
the heat of the next day. The cars
should be thoroughly bedded with
sand and this we'll wetted with cold
water; and then the hogs should be
showered with cold water imme-
diately after being loaded, and as
frequently as opportunity offers dur
ing the transit thereafter By due
attention to these precautions, many
hogs will go through safely that 9th
erwise would perish with the heat.
Large and very fat hogs suffer most
from heat, and are more liable to suf-
location, when over crowded than
smaller and leaner ones.-Journal

DIFFICULTIES IN CHURNING. The
milk of farrow COW, mixed with the
milk of fresh COW will retard the
fresh cows milk, and it is better to
churn separately, but some good but
ter makers have expressed the opinion
that when the cream of different cows
has been thoroughly mixed together
and ripened evenly it will all churn
together But where there is sus-
picion that only part of the butter
has come, let. this be skinned from
the buttermilk, placed in cold water
to harden, and then let the churning
proceed. Some have asserted that
the second churning has produced
half as much as the first. The larger
globules of cream having burst their
pellicles first, the different sizes fol
lowing in order; and the cream of the
cow having these different sized glob-
ules, the largest which yield their but
ter first are likely to be over churned
if they remain till the finer globules
yield their butter. This no doubt
often renders some otherwise good
butter rather salvy. The matter of
the size of the globules of cream is
the simple cause Of the difference in
time required to churn the cream
from different cows. Some butter
makers, having learned this cause Of
quicker or slower churning, andhaving
also discovered that the larger glob
ules, which rise first on milk, make
the highest colored and finest favored
butter, adopt the plan of Swimming
the milk twice-the first at twelve to
sixteen hours, and the second when
the cream has all risen-churning
these two skimmings separately.
The butter from the first Swimming
is so delicate and high favored as to
bring a much higher price, and the
second would bring an ordinary mar
ket price. This practice obviates the
difficulty of charing two kinds of
cream together 1t is not very troub-
lesome to follow this plan in diaries
Of considerable size, as the large glo-
bules may be churned one day and
the smaller ones the next.-Notional

The DRoUGTH.-It may be counted
certain that all kinds Of food for live
stock will command high prices dur
ing autumn aud winter. The most
careful utilization of all on hand is
the first obvious lesson to farmers.
1t will not pay to feed lavishly, or to
waste high priced corn, hay or other
food. Many Western farmers will
do well to make more use of straw
than they have commonly done. The
dry weather has enabled them to Sc
cure the wheat and oats crops in good
shape. 1t certainly will pay to sec
that the straw is so stacked that it
will keep well, instead of being half
wasted as has often happened from
lack of care when threshing. In some
parts of the west there is singular
lack of appreciation of the value of
good corn fodder. We hope the prob
able high prices for hay and grain
will induce more general use of this
food cut early and well secured.
Those farmers have been fortunate
who planted or sowed corn, millet,
etc, for use, in addition to the pas
tures-although the drouth has been
so great that late sown crops of this
kind have made little or no growth.
There is temptation to reduce
the feed of stock at such time. 1t
is better, ordinarily to dispose of
of hof IN
Cattle and hogs that are being pre-
pared for the market should have full
feed, and be got off as early as prac-
ticable, rather than have their feed
ing reduced, making it necessary to
keep them longer. Good stock, well
fattened, promises to command such
good prices as will give fair profit
Notwithstanding the advanced price
for food.-Journol. t

stick, which Baker caught and wrenehed
from the assailant. He walked several
blocks when Burgess snatched the stick,
dealing him several blows ON the head. The
stick dropped from his hands and Burgess
left, avoiding arrest. The cause of the
trouble is said to have originated from
Baker sending improper letters to lady
member of the Sterrett family. All the
parties are well known. 1t is believed the
trouble will stop here. Baker received no
