and he does not care whether the pa
irons make money or not. In the end
this course must be disastrous to the
creamery itself. AS the patrons find
out they are making little money they
decrease the number of their cows, or
go out Of the business altogether.
1t is to the interest of the creamery
that large quantity of milk be sup
piled, and the richer it is, the less will
be the loss in separating. 1t therefore
becomes advisable for the creamery
manager to have friendly interest in
the cows of his patrons. If he be am
bilious enough he will stir up his pa
irons to test their cows and do away
with the poor stock. Probably there
are a great many cows in the list Of
nearly every creamery that would
yield profit by being disposed Of.

Shropshire Premiums.

The American Shropshire Registry
Association has offered a large number
of premiums for 1896. The appropria7
tions for each of the principal fairs
of the United States and Canada vary
from $50 to SIS. The following gentle
men are recommended to the fair d.
rectors for judges of Shropshire sheepi

Sheep to be eligible to compete for
these prizes must be recorded and have
a number in the Record, a certificate
of which must be filed with each entry
certificate made. Each registered sheep
must bear an ear tag with number and
initials corresponding to that given en-

Comparative Sheep Feeding.-The
Iowa station has started an experiment
to test the mutton producing qualities
of ten breeds OF sheep and some cross
breds. They will be fed alike, be
slaughtered at the same time, and all re-
suits carefully weighed. The expert
ment will be watched with interest, yet
it is felt that it will not tell very much.
If all of these sheep had been raised on
the station farm and their parents
treated alike the results would have
been more suggestive. The life Of a
lamb. as of any other animal, is bound
up with that OF its parents and grand
parents, and We might say with its
Yreat-grandparents.

Our Cattle.

What we call our native cattle are
really cattle that have been imported
at some time from the various coun-
tries of Europe. The native cows in
our Eastern States were imported from
England, Ireland. Germany, Holland
and Belgium, but long before there had
been distinct breeds developed in those
countries. In the early annals of the
American colonies we meet references
to these importations. In the histo-
ries of the revolutionary movement in
New Hampshire and Vermont one
character, an Irishman, refers to him.
self as having sold himself for SCI
ries of years to man for white bull,
the said bull being used to pay his fare
to the New World. Some of these white
cattle were much like the Durhams, and
in fact may be considered nearly iden-.
teal in everything but in name. OF
course the native cattle, having BEEN
imported from regions raising cattle,
of almost every color and style, took
on great variety of characteristics.
From France were imported many
cattle into the parts of America CONF
ing within their spheres Of influence
AS the territory was settled up to west-
ward, In the great tract called Lou
isiana, these cattle extended the limits
of their range. In them black pre-
dominated, at least in a number of the
more prominent strains. The so-called
native cattle of the Indian Territory
had their origin in these French cats
tie. The Indians. breeding them for
a number of generations, have made
almost a distinct breed. From Spain
came an animal small in the quarterJ
and in color light red, yellow and fawn.
This was the origin of the Texas cat,
tie.

Mutually Interested.

The creamery man is interested in
the welfare Of his patrons, whether he
realizes it or not. That is, their inter-
ests are so woven together that what
hurts one hurts the other. Too often
the idea gets into the head of the man
ager of the stock creamery that his
chief concern is to get his patrons to
sell him milk as cheaply as possible,

Set n Good Example.

Children early catch the tone of THEN
surroundings and become harsh or ten
der, Indifferent or solicitous, sympa-
thetic or selfish, courteous or rude as
those around them. By a loving exam
pie or persuasive influence they can bs
accustomed from the first to take pleas
ure in each others joy, and to be sorry
for each others pain-to try and pro-
mote the one and assuage the other, to
be kind and courteous, generous and
self-sacrificing. until such feelings and
conduct grow to be the habit of their
lives.

Southdown Association Notes.

The American Southdown Breeders7
Associations offering Of a gold medal
as premium to the owner of the flock
of Southdown sheep making the best
show record during the year 1895, was
based upon the number of premiums
won at state, district and county fairs,
a given number of points being
allowed for sweepstakes, LIST. I'd and 3G
premiums For this medal there have
been a number Of competitors, the lead
ing ones being George McKerrow, Sus-
sex. Wis, John Jackson &c Sons, Abing-
don, Ont, Can, r. w. Barrett, Wads-
worth, N. Y, and w. e. Spicer, Hari
ward, Neb. 1t may take an officiaE
count to determine who is the success
full winner.
Southdown sheep breeders are now
applying for the registry Of animals
that are approaching the two-year-old
limit. thus avoiding the payment OF
double registry fees that are required
after animals are over that age. The
demand for this breed OF sheep has been
remarkably good during the past year
and the indications are that for 1896
1t will be much better. The claims that
these sheep are the best of any for mutt
tonizing other breeds is acknowledged
wherever they have been tried.
ARRANGEMENTS are being made for the
publication of the proceedings Of the,
late meeting OF the Illinois Sheep Breed!
ers' Association, copy of which Will
be sent to every member of the asso-
citation, so that those not in attend,
ance at the meeting may have the,
benefit of the interesting and valuable,
papers that were there presented.i
