DORSET RAM.


point There is hardly a superior to the
Dorset sheep from the standpoint of the
mutton producer, and especially of the
producer Of very young mutton, spring
lambs or dollhouse lambs In fact the
truth should be constantly borne in
mind that the Dorset is at its greatest
perfection and should go to the market
at 100 days or even at an earlier age. /
think without question Dorset mutton
marketed at that time will return more
clear profit to its producer than any 9TH
or mutton of whatever breed or age in
the United States today.
This faculty of producing tiptop
lambs is naturally most noticeable in
the use of the Dorset eve, and it may
be that she will produce finer lamb
when mated with Hampshire, South
down or Oxford sire than were she to
be bred to pure bred Dorset ram. This
is a general practice in Dorsetshire
am told The Dorset sire, however, is
able to make good showing when
crossed ON ewes of other breeds, and
not infreQuently he has been a surprise
to me.-Joseph e. Wing in Breeders
Gazette.

Russiaus ana Their Horses.

The land where animals are raised in
large numbers is not always the land
where they are best loved. Russia, how
ever, which is the greatest horse breed
ing country in the world, is the country
where the horse is both loved and ap-
preciated. A writer in The Road says:
ST never in all my wanderings saw o
pony or steed of any sort that seemed to
be in bad condition through i'll usage.
The drosky drivers Of Moscow put our
London cabmen to shame in this re-
spect. They may abuse each other vocif-
erously, they may cheat you roundly,
but they never abuse their horses. The
supply of fine horses makes it constant
luxury to travel in Russia. The popula-
ton is chiefly dependent upon the taran-
tass, or rough, partly hooded van; the
telga, or country cart; the little dros-
Ky and the capital troika, or three horse
carriage. Nothing delights driver SO
much as dashing along at headlong
speed, with three spirited horses har-
messed to q troika. With the whips
cracking. the bells ringing, the driver
singing at the top of his voice. the two
outer horses flying off at an angle as
wide as possible. the troika in full speed
is splendid sight. In Siberia the driv-
ing is so furious, the mountain roads
being rs rough as they are steep. that
the traveller is constantly amazed at his
immunity from accident.

DORSET SHEEP.
A Superior Breed For the Production Of
Mutton.


A Superior Breed For the Production Of
Mutton.
The size of Dorset sheep is medium
to large, weights of mature rams reach
ing from 200 to 800 pounds and mature
ewes from 1875 to IT'S pounds. 1t is not
always the largest specimens that are
the most valuable. OF the wool would
say first that the quality is of. the very
highest, and being of extremely light
shrinkage and of very strong and even
fiber and with nice crimp it makes
soft, strong article of clothing. There
is no better nor more valuable wool
than Dorset wool, and from Woodland
farm we have always sold Dorset wool
at premium of cents per pound bet
ter than the highest priced medium
woods.
When it comes to weight of fleece, it
is different, as the Dorset sheep can
make no claim to being an extremely
heavy shearer, not that they are mark
eddy deficient. but naturally where the
wool is free from grease and gum it
weighs lighter. Some Dorsets are not
covered all over as sheep should be.
Their deficiency is most apparent on
the legs and belly. 1t would seem as
though the English Dorset breeders had
not paid much attention to the covering
of their fiocks. In spite Of this sup
pose that a good flock of Dorset sheep
would shear as many pounds of secured
wool as a flock of any other mutton
sheep in proportion-that is, to the
weight of the sheep composing the flock.
When it comes to quality of mutton,
you have reached the Dorset's strong

Squirrel tail Grass.

"Wire grass, tough as Scotch-Irish
beard, is taking lawns. Botanists
name it, but know nothing about it,,
how it comes, where from, etc. The
seeds must have lain dormant in the
soil till just the propitious conditions
arose. "-Washington, Iowa, Press.
The pest referred to is newcomer
and one of the worst weed nuisances
with which Iowa was ever visited. 1t
is the squirrel-tailed grass, an annual,
and bids fair to take possession of and
destroy all our laws 1t is not notice
able before the last of June and then it
starts and swamps every living green
thing in its way. The more it is cut
the thicker it gets. Where it came
from no one knows. The first frost
kills it.

Weeds.

A large per cent of the productive
capacity of Iowa soils is used up in
maturing weeds. Rag weed and may
weed in the pastures, fox tail and
morning gIories in the cornfields, wild
hemp and artichokes on the road sides,
pursely in the gardens. The best way
to prevent them in the pastures is to
quit pasturing so close and give the
grass a chance to grow, sheep will clean
the grain and cornfields; an enforce
ment of the law will purify the high
ways and summer fallow will clean
out the garden.

To Starve to Death.

An Englishman-a prominent scien-
tist-has been figuring out that the
world is running short of food and
that the productive capacity of the
soil is rapidly nearing exhaustion
while population is increasing faster
than ever. The comforting conclusion
which he arrives at is that we are all
going to starve to death in the near
future. An education is a grand thing
when it is combined with good sense,
but there seems to be a great lack of
the latter among many of these scien-
tific fellows. The truth is that the
productive power of the soil, save in a
very few limited areas, has never even
been fully developed, let alone exhaust
ed. There Is not farm in the west
but can be made to double the crops
now produced and the fertility OF the
soil be in no manner impaired but rath-
er improved. In China, Japan, Bel
GUM and to some extent In Italy,
France and England, agriculture is
reduced to more or less of an exact
science. In South America, Australia,
Russia and this country agriculture Is
run on the plan Of
"Tickel the earth with q hoe
And she'll laugh with q harvest.
Moreover, before the starving point
arrives people win change their food
They will get on to the nutritive value
of our Indian corn for one thing and
will learn to eat less meat and more
cereal food. In the final wind up Of
mundane existance we may be roa ted
or drowned, or blown up, or frozen, OF
knocked out by comet, but the last
man will not die Of starvation.

Some papers are still advocating the
feeding of oil meal as hog cholera
preventive. This so-called remedy was
tried and abandoned long ago. The
situation to-day after years of investi-
CATION, hundreds of tested remedies and

yon have it, and nothing you can do
will either prevent or stop it. Money
spent for cures is wasted.

Plain Horses.

Some of the best horses that have
run ON the turf have been Of plain IL
not positively coarse appearance. They
have, however, invariably had good
strains of blood in them. The celebrated
Blink Bonny, says Stonehenge, was o
mean looking mare and would not have
fetched $3.50 at Tattersall's from her
appearance alone, and that wonderful
animal Fisherman was never liked un-
til he proved his powers. The most USE
full looking horse Is not seldom wanting
in beauty Of contour. Utility and ele-
gance of form are not invariable com.
bined. High breeding is Of more conse-
quence than external shape. Most per-
