If the Atlanta Constitution has
reported correctly the speeches
which Mr.. Polk, the president of
the National Farmers Alliance has
been making IN Kansas recently, he
is a very inconsistent man. He is
reported to have said that he was a
union man at the outbreak of the
civil war, and only entered the con-
federate service because he was
forced to do so by public sentiment.
He even refused the command of a
company because he did not want
to appear as indorsiEg the southern
cause. But he afterward accepted
the command because by doing so
he could indirectly aid those who
were fighting for the union. 1t is
said some of the old ex-Federal SOL
diers turned away in disgust and
said they had no confidence in
man who would publicly confess
himself traitor to his people. 1t
is also asserted that in Kansas he
stated that he sympathized with the
cotton pickers movement to raise
the price OF picking cotton to 81 per
100 pounds, and that there would
be third party in 1892 and that it
would sweep the country" 1t is
difficult to believe that Mr.. Polk is
talking one way in the south and
another in the west. If he is two
faced man, the farmers will soon
find it out and will cease to follow
bis lead.

wrinkly one the heavier, aud sold for
about twice what could get for the
smooth one. At six years of age she
again brought two, a ram and eve,
both larger than the average. The ram
weighed over 100 pounds at one year old,
the eve nearly as large. At seven years
she brought two rams and raised them
both herself, both well folded and larger
than most of my smooth lambs. Not
withstanding this eve commenced breed
ing young and always cut from twelve
to eighteen pounds of wool each year,
she weighed 1876 pounds in February, 49,
80, before she brought her last pair of
twins. | felt it something of a misfor-
tune to haye this eve get poisoned and
die when away from home this winter.
My ewes are not housed in summer.
During the very wet season two years
ago they were two miles from home at
pasture, took all the rain, yet | found no
such drawback as mentioned by Mr..

hardy than those that are smooth. 1t so
happens that today the least thrifty
lamb have is a smooth one, but | would
not ascribe her condition to want of
wrinkles.
1t Is not best for beginners to begin
with the very highest type of Merno
sheep, hence would not advise them to
begin with very wrinkly ewes; better
select good, smooth ones. The wool on
such sheep will generally be found long
and thin, and the first cross should be
with a wrinkly, dense-woolled ram, well
covered on head and legs. These smooth
ewes, if bred to a ram of their own type,
will produce lambs of still thinner fleece,
and the tendency in each generation will
be to lose the wool from the face, legs
and belly, and the staple will not be as
strong as on the more dense-fleeced
Merinos. There will be longer dead ends
that will waste in the cards if not in the
securing tub.
will again say that no one has proved
his ability to increase the quantity of
wool on our sheep by breeding to smooth
rams. and will add in closing that no
one has ever shown ability to retain the
amount of wool on the flock by such
breeding. Some by selecting the smooth
rams from wrinkly hocks have been able
to retain about what they had, but no
breeder has shown his ability to keep his
flock up in the production of a given per
cent of wool by breeding from smooth
flocks. | have no doubt but there are
better smooth sheep in Australia to-
day than we have in the United States,
but they have found it impossible to re-
tain the most profitable density of fleece
by using smooth rams, hence they are
buying our dense fleeced, wrinkly rams
to improve their flocks, and paying much
better prices for them than we can OBJ
tain anywhere for smooth ones.
