At the agricultural department OF
the University OF California an attempt
Is being made to establish a new breed
OF sheep by crossing Merino rams on
Persian ewes, says an exchange. The
object Is to produce a breed with good
mutton qualities and having a heavy
fleece OF fine wool. The experiment
has been carried on only three years,
and those who are engaged in 1t are
not yet prepared to results,
though they are hopeful of complete
success. 1t has been claimed for some
breeds that they are equal to the South
Downs as mutton sheep and to the
Merino in quantity and quality of wool
production, but probably few dealers
are prepared to admit such claim. II
the California experiment should re-
suit In establishing n distinct breed
possessing and capable Of uniformly
transmitting the two valuable charac-
ter!stics sought 1t will bring an i'm
provement extremely valuable to the
sheep industry, but the probability Is
that a long course of selection and
breeding must be followed before the
essential faculty Of prepotency is es-
tablished.

ers. The man with a few milk cows
husbanded his herd until 1t became
large, and the small owner OF sheep
so manipulated things as to keep his
increase and soon own a number OF
aocks instead Of one. but in the new
era men will follow the industry OF
raising cattle and sheep and will dis
pose OF their increase every year. They
will. in fact. be so situated that they
will not have the facilities for caring
for increased numbers, and will there

can care for. But even then the pur-
suit will pay and their bank accounts

there Is a strong tendency towards
large focks and herds, but this will be
OF short duration, and in the new order

may look for better breeding and far
better results. since stock handled In a

The farmer who raises a lamb crop
for the mutton market will find Il a

little fellows as 500 as they will eat.

They will generally eat a little meal

all should have good p~asturage. Half a
pint a day OF a mixture OF corn meal.
bran and cotton-seed meal will be
enough to give the lambs, II they have
also good pasturage, a very vigorous
growth. They should be fed this SO
that the ewes cannot get at the feed.
This can be arranged by having a
small pen under which only the lambs
will be able to creep while the ewes
can be fed outside. Lambs raised In
this way a be made ready for mar
ket earlier than those raised without
such a stimulant to their development
and will be SO superior In finish and
quality as to secure the best prices in
the market. There will be an adyan-
tage also in the weight and quality
OF fleece that will return part Of the
