BIG TAILED LAMBS.

Mr.. D. c. Bacon marketed n number
Of his big-tailed lambs last week and the
result was very satisfactory. the animals
bringing S5.25. They would have been
a year old in May and averaged about
80 pounds. The big-tailed sheep are a
now thing in Wyoming and are an i'm.
portation from Persia. The Riverside
company, ever in the van in the matter
pf Improvement. recently secured n num-
Der Of big-tailed Persian bucks and have
crossed them with some OF the best
breeds at the Riverside ranch. The re-
suit is Il lamb Of tremendous size, which
makes an animal remarkable for its
length OF wool, although the fleece is
rather coarse and does not weigh as
much as the native fieeces. For mutton
stock ii Is really a wonder, for the req,
son that it grows to such enormous size.
The tail OF a full-grown sheep will weigh
between 20 and 80 pounds, and
it is filled with n fatty substance that
furnishes n%ourishment to the body OF
the sheep during the severity of the
winter season.
