Good Words for Them from Man Who
Loves Them Still


Good Words for Them from Man Who
Loves Them Still
They are the only breed that can be
run in large focks or will bear crowding,
and right here is where the mutton
breeds will strike snag. They will not
thrive If kept in large focks Again.
you can keep more Of the fine woods on
the same feed; it requires no more grain
or grass to make pound of meat or a
pound of wool on one sheep than on the
other; the fine woods are .ynuch more
docile than the mutton breeds and much
easier cared for, and in times Of short
pastures they will live and thrive where
the latter will starve. We have heard
this cry of mutton sheep before.
About the close Of the war the same
cry Of mutton sheep and combing wool
was heard all over this broad land and
everybody had the Cotswold craze, but
later fine woods came to the front as they
surely will do again We are liable to
run into the extremes in these matters
and then we must call a halt and take
account Of stock. and for this reason we
want to say to our fine wool breeders, go
slow We have seen many cross their
fine woods with mutton breeds to their
sorrow. For the man who only keeps a
few sheep along with other stock NUT
ton sheep are all right and they do we'll
but for the man with large focks it is
quite different. as some will learn by sad
experience before the craze is over.
1t won't do for everybody to run in
the same channel. Our manufacturers
need the different kinds of wool and
must have them, and if we do not pro-
duce them they will be imported, cost
what they may. A few general princi-
Piles should be keptin mind. 1t is as great
folly to keep them for wool alone: wool
and muttons must go together in order
to be more profitable. Our markets will
only consume about so much mutton,
and when that demand is supplied and
there Is a surplus. down goes the price in
spite OF our boasts Of the good qualities
of mutton, and right here is one great
drawback against our producing all the
wool consumed in this country
Our markets will not absorb SO much
mutton. We have not yet learned to eat
it, and while the long woods may per-
haps produce a superior mutton, the fine
woods when well fattened are no drug
in the market, and if fully ripe will
bring about the same price per pound.
Another point that is often overlooked is
the fact that fine wool sheep, if kept in
small focks, with plenty of room, will
not be as much behind the long woods in
weight of carcasses as many would have
us believe, while the long woods or INIT
ton sheep, if kept in large focks, soon
become diseased and will not thrive
Therefore. we repeat the advice-go
slow in making any radical changes
With new beginners. who only want a
few to run with other stock, it is quite
different. Jacob Funck in Homestead.

Pro AND CON or ALFALFA
Its Advantages and Disadvantages In Rs-
Iation to stock Feeding.

tatt00 TO STOCK Eee0iBSe
In many instances farmers might prof
itably raise alfalfa as a substitute for
the wheat bran. cottonseed meal and
other materials which contain large
amounts of protein. and which they are
now buying in order to utilize the excess
Of carbohydrates produced in corn and
other crops
Disadvantages of Alfalfa-l. 1t is not
easily established. 2. 1t is less hardy
than clover. 3. If allowed to grow too
long its stalks become hard and woody.
l. Except in dry regions cattle cannot
be safely pastured on it. 5. 1t requires
peculiar treatment to make good hay.
Advantages of Alfalfa. When es-
tablished it does not run out. 2. 1t with
stands drought much better than clover.
S. 1t grows rapidly and may be cut carly
in the season 4. 1t gathers large
amount Of nitrogen from the air as well
as from the soil, and is therefore very
valuable as fertilizing crop. g. 1t fur
nishes several large crops Of green fodder
each season 6. When properly cured it
makes an excellent hay. Z. 1t is relished
and digested by all farm animals and is
an excellent flesh and milk producer. s.
1t makes muscle rather than fat, and is
therefore valuable to use with corn and
other fat producing crops to make well
balanced ration for cattle.
In brief. experience at the stations and
elsewhere indicates that alfalfa is valua-
BILE as feeding stuff and as fertilizing
crop. but that it requires peculiar con-
ditions of climate and soil for growth,
and careful culture and curing to make
it profitable crop. 1t is worthy of re-
peated and systematic experimental
tests by farmers, even though in some
regions and on some farms it should
prove failure. United States Agricul-
tural Publication.

An expert horse trainer writes:

An expert horse trainer writes:
First-The first thing to teach the
horse to do that is intended for family
use is. as before STATED, to stand still.
The first lesson should be given in the
stall The horse that is uneasy, always
biting, kicking and crowding in his
stall. is not worth a penSy for family
horse If you cannot cure him of these
habits, do not waste your time on him
III other directions
Second-Teach him to stand while you
are putting on or taking off the harness.
1t is important that he be educated to
stand in his place quietly until the har-
ness is completely on and every strap is
buckled and he is asked to go ON.
Third-He must be taught to stand
while you are getting into your carriage
or alighting from it. The well trained
horse never moves until every person is
in the carriage and well seated. and he
receives the word to move on
Fourth--We want him to stand when
left alone. hitched or unhitched, in any
spot or place. The unhitched horse
stands with more safety than the
hitched one if properly trained. 1t is
not the fragile rein that holds your
frightened horse. but the power of habit,
and this power is just as strong over the
unhitched horse as the one not left loose
In order to secure these results. you must
teach your horse the meaning of the
word whoa. This word must never be
used except when you want your horse
to stop or stand, and then at first it
must be emphasized by some physical
movement that brings the animal
promptly into the breeching. Ii you
keep up continual whoa, whoa, whoa,
from the time you commence to harness
your horse until he is hitched to the car
rage. you will not have any whoa when
you need it. Have one word for one
thing or movement and no more
When Harvesting always approach
your horse from the same direction, I'M
til you have him well in hand, so that
there may be no surprises for your colt.
Afterward you may approach him from
all directions.
Put on the same piece of harness first
every time, and then the other parts in
regular order Then your horse knows
what to expect and will be ready for it.
Observe the same rule when hitching to
the carriage Have system about it.
Hook the same tug or strap first every
time. SO that when the last strap is
hooked you know and your horse knows
they are all hitched. even if it is very
dark and you cannot see. Observe the
same rule when removing the horse from
the carriage or the harness from the
horse, standing him in the same place
and position as when you put the har-
ness on

THE Cincinnati Post is evidently OF
opinion that what is sauce for the
goose may bs also dressing for the
, gander. Referring to a disgraceful
act of the democratic legislature OF
Ohio, the same body by the way that
gerrymandered Mckinley out of con =
gress into the governorship, the
Post says:
When the republican minority
tried to protest against the removal
of Lieutenant Governor Lsmpson, by
the Democratic majority in
the Ohio legislature two years
ago, the telegram reported that
their protests were drowned in "roars
of laughter" Now, ifthat same leg
islature should see its United States
senatorial chair pulled out from un-
der its chosen represen tative, Calvin
P Brice, amid "roars of laughter"
from the side that wept then,
wouldn't it be funny? And would it
be an example of reciprocity" or
wouldn't it.
The bowls that would rend
the Ohio atmosphere should
the reciprocity" suggested by
the Post be consummated
would echo in every democratic jour-
nal from Maine to Texas. 1t is not
likely that the republicans will do
this thing, albeit their provocatiOn
would be great and their justification
on the ground of democratic prece
dent, ample.
