FLOCK of sheep.

-
Now and then you will see among the
enumerated good qualities Of a particu-
lrr breed Of sheep. that the ewes arc
lccp mixers and good mothers. In
looI ing over the flock Of breeding ewes
with lamb at foot. the most casual OBJ
server must have noticed that some
lambs showed the effects Of much better
care than others; that certain ewes
with twin lambs were doing better by
them than many OF their companions
who had but a single lamb. The ewes
may have been Of the same age. and the
lambs may have been dropped about the
| same date, and the feed and all other
| conditions may have been the same.
Notwithstanding the above results.
| What, then, is the cause oi this diifer-
encc i'm the lambs? Much. very much
CT IL is due To the fact that the one eve
i. Is the better mixer, and rs the yielding
OF milk is a distinctive maternal quar-
jty. il must necessarily follow that She
is a better mother. While il is "a good
thing and "A correct practice TO ieach
the lambs 10 eat grain at the earliest
possible moment, the great first start
md impetus TO growth must come from
that most natural OF all foods-mlik'
ind for this purpose that OF the mother
il superior to all others.
These things being true, says Wool
Markets and Sheep. it would seem the
most natural thing 10 do 10 improve the
milking qualities of the breeding ewes
There are several ways in which this
might be done, but tor the man who IS
in possession OF the average flock OF
sheep there seems at present no better
means ut hand than careful selection
and development ny the feeding OF
foods especially adapted TO h produc'
ton of milk. We know that many mel
will feel disposed TO decry such teach
ing. and so do many so-called dairymen
hut they are not the one who are max
ing money out Of the business OF keep
ing cows Some men never pay any at
' sention to the ewes udder even in wean
' ing time. with the result that much su
