SHEEP.
Points In wooI-Growins.


The finer grades OF wool are more
likely to hold their prices than the COM
moner grades, as the demand for
fine homemade woolens is increasing.
An increased demand for the better
grades of wooden fabrics will naturally
bring q better demand for the finer
grades OF the raw material; a demand
that the growers Of these grades will en-
deavor to supply. Without going into
the care and management OF sheep here,
attention may be called to some ''points"
that the beginner as well as the old
fiock-master In the West should not neg
let. First and foremost we want good
wool with fair staple, and fine but not
too silky fiber. This fiber must be even
ly developed and thus be able to bear an
equal tension in all parts throughout its
length. The demand for such wool will
be even greater In the near future than
ii is now. The secret OF growing good
fiber does not at all depend upon breed
and grade, as too many or our growers
suppose, but upon the continuous good
health OF the sheep while the fleece is
growing. Every neglect, such as starva-
ton, lack of water, and undue exposure
to the inclemency of the weather In win
ter, causes weakened growth of fiber
during that period, makes 1t more slen-
der and less firm, and IL the sheep is
subjected TO these conditions several
times In a season, each period will be
marked by a corresponding number Of

entire length, which In itscir shdIeates a
strong, healthy, unchecked growth, and
IL has considerable influence with the
buyer. The next thing is to have sheep
that are well adapted to the climate.
Such animals will stand the varying con-
ditions better than others. Last, but not
least, good, high grade stock must be
selected in order to get the necessary
fineness of fleece. 1t will cost more at
first, but will more than repay the out
lay; but it must be properly cared for, or
the fleece will be of poor actual quality,
although it may be fine to the touch

Notes.

THE principles of breeding other ami
mails apply TO the breeding of sheep.
just remember that when you read an
article devoted to the science OF breeding.
ONE sheep with scab or foot rot may
infect an entire flock, fact which shows
how important it is TO remove sick ami
NAL from the well ones the moment the
slightest symptom OF disease Is seen.
The remarkable average of $500. SO
was recently obtained for thirty shearling
rams from the Mertoun flock OF Border
Leicesters, by Lord Polwarth, Kelso,
Britain. Last year the Mertoun average
was $152.56.

Dropping Wool.

A correspondent of the National
Stochmdn asks that journal what makes
sheep drop their wool in winter some
times.
The most prevalent cause is too warm
quarters, SAYS the reply. i have seen q
bunch of sheep shut up in tight room
for the purpose of raising winter lambs,
and shearing was neglected. BY spring
more than half of the wool had dropped,
and they looked more ragged than the
proverbial street arab. Sheep are sensi-
tive to storms and cold winds and should
be protected from them. Sheltered fro-
these is all the housing they require.
The coolest nights of winter, II still and
it does not snow, they choose to lie out
In the open. A shed fully boarded ora
three sides and four of five feet on the
other, that there may be no draft of air,
makes the most suitable quarters. An
other cause of the wool falling off Is feed
ing all the heavy grain ration at the com
mencement of grainfeeding Here great
caution should be observed They should
be seasoned into it gradually before full
feeding is entered upon.
