In training young heifcrs it is well to
remember that acntle handling is a

should be taught to regard their mas

heifer is to be made useful and pleas.
ant animal for the dairy, it is import
ant that she should be handled and
accustomed to all necessary manipula.
tions while she is calf. If they are
handled familiarly from the first,
there will be usually but little trouble
with them. When force is used Mt the
start to compel them to submit to be-
ing milked, then the trouble begins.
Many a young heifcr has been ruined
as dairy COW by bad usage. Get her
started right. and much future trouble
will be avoided. 1t will be far better
to exercise little patience than to
have trouble as long as she is COW.

Y.arre EIeeces.

Every wear there is about one sheep
in tie country that shears an enor-
NOUS fleece. Perhaps not every yea:.
Tlla, fact is herallcd all over the corn-
try, but the enormous fleece producers
tlo not increase to any marked extent.
The average weight of fleece remains
about the same. We have made great
Improvement in this respect, and the
extent Of the improvement is generally
known. There is great room, to. FOR
Improvement in many flocks today.
Bpt it is not practical TO produce an
enormous yield of wool upon the back
Of every sheep; and when the account
of Il very large fleece is read it should
neither discourage the average wool
grower nor induce him to so to ruinous
expense in the endeavor to find flock
that will produce enough to supply the
world. In the case of many OF these
heavy fleeces the wool has cost more
than it will bring. 1t is very apt to
be like the milk and butter that Il
COW of extraordinary record produces.
1t might be very dear butter and milk,
and enough Of those cows might bank
rupt the farmer, even if they were
given to him, providing lie kept up
these large yields. Still, COW that
even. under pressure, produces such
results gives evidence that she has the
ability Of a great milk and butter pro-
duccr naturally in her; and hence her
calves are worth more than the calves
of an ordinary cow. So with Il sheep.
The producer Of large fleece may
have put the owner to q great expense,
and, while the achievement may show
the animal to be an extra good wool
producer, naturally 1t is folly to ex-
pect that the animals offspring will
equal the parent. 1t is not practical
to accomplish more than ordinary re-
suits in sheep Observation-Disclosures
