Whom to Breed the Sow,

When improvement in stock is begun
we have usually more than fifty per
cent. of betterment in the fist litter,
because the intensity of character pos
sessed by a pedigree boar of hig hly-bred
stock counts for much more than one
half the litter from a scrub SOW. The
most experienced English breeders first
couple the pair at ages varying from six
to fifteen months. Breeders should be
taken from spring filters, and if their
growth has been steady and unbroken,
If their vigor is full and individuality
fairly good they may be bred to produce
litter for the following spring when
they are one year old. The rules which
apply to the sow may he held to be of
equal value in determining the age of
service for the boar. With tho whole
summer before him he may have the
advantage of exercise in his open ward,
with cut green food and a good nitro
genous ration to grow sound bone and
good muscle. Properly grown and in
good condition, he may be used at eight
or nine months old.-Farm and Home.

Tho Profit in Getting Them Ready for tho
Early Markets.
In rearing early lambs, several meth

is to buy the ewes as early as possible
in the summer, wherever they can be
found. AS soon as they are housed in
the fall they are sheared and kept in.
doors all the time, for they will feed
better after the wool is removed. They
are fed heavily right along and sold fat.
short time after the lambs are gone
when mutton is usually high. In this
way a profit is made on the ewes as we'll
as on the lambs and wool. But it is
often difficult to get suitable sheep
early enough. Most sheep bought in
this way are fine woods and, although
they are more hardy and may be kept
in larger fiocks, they are not as good for
milk as the mutton breeds. Another
way is to select the ewes more careful
ly at the start, rejecting the poorer ones
each year and replacing them with
lambs of your own breeding. This is
more expensive, but one will soon have
just such flock as he wishes. Each
method has its advantages. Ewes from
the mutton breeds are better for milk
and are more prolific breeders than fine
WOODS. But whatever kind of ewes are
used, The lambs should be the best to be
had from one of the mutton breeds,
preferably one of the downs.
| do not know of the OXfordshire
downs being used for this, but they are
claimed to be fine sheep for native NUT
ton. The reasons for using rams from
one of these breeds are, they impress
upon their lambs a tendency to fatten
more readily; they give better size and
the faces are dark. That lambs should
have dark faces may be only fancy
but they bring better prices than white
faced ones. Finely-bred ewes of these
breeds are not plenty enough nor cheap
enough to use to any great extent for
this purpose. pshiredown lambs
are favorites with many for this BUSH
ness. One of the most difficult things
in raising these early lambs is to get
the ewes to take the ram early enough
in the summer. To ohviate this diff
