expense in importing Rambouillets into
this country and in introducing them
to the woolgrowers here.
The Townsend farm at Colby, Mont
calm county, Mich, is known all over
the country as the Colby Rambouillet
Farm" and the place where this breed
of sheep in all its purity can be found
surrounded by the most favorable con-
ditions possible for the breeding of
sheep. The farm consists of about l, 500
acres of land. well watered and with
most excellent pasture The buildings
are large and adapted to sheep raising
The farm has railroad station of its
own, with long siding for shipping
purposes, and during the sheep season
prominent sheep men from Montana,
Idaho and Dakota can there be seen to-
gether with men from Texas and Next

the Colby farm has been successfully
managed by one of his daughters.

under the care of an agricultural com

flock and the equally well bred royal

More and more attention is constant
ly being given by stock raisers to pure
blood in stock of all kinds. and espe-
cially so is this true with regard to the
breeding of sheep. The large sheep men
are constantly seeking TO improve their
flock by breeding from registered rams
of approved strains.
A growing favorite is the Rambouil-
let. This sheep is becoming more popu-
lar every year, and its friends claim
that it combines more of the character
istics of the perfect sheep than any 9th
err breed.
The Rambouillets began to be i'm
ported into the United States some
years ago, and are now gradually
spreading over the whole country. and
particularly in the west. among the
large breeders. 1t was not until 1889.

Mich, who was the first member to sign
the articles of association, its first
treasurer, and under whose direction
the first volume of The Rambouillet Rec

time the association has grown into a
large and influential body, composed of
some of the best known sheep men.

Dorothy Tucker writes to Farm Jour
nal as follows:
Don't make the mistake of thinking
that large COW necessarily makes the
most butter. 1t is great error.
In the first place it takes much more
to maintain the large COW. and in the
second place she will probably not give
any more or even as much in return as
the smaller animal
If you have an extra good dairy COW,
you must remember that she is neces-
sarily very highly organized.
She may be compared to machine
running at high speed and doing great
work All parts must be closely watch
ed. everything must be kept in perfect
condition, or the breaking down of the
whole thing will be the result.
So it is with our best cows. They are
not like the old no purpose COW, with
little or no nervous system or high de-
velopment. Great care must be given
them at calving time. which is crit
ical period.
Allow no shocks or nervous excite
ment
Keep the bowls open to avoid fe-
verish condition
Cut down on all heavy feeds for two
or three weeks before calving.
Give plenty of wheat bran with a
small quantity of oilmeal
After calving come up to full feed
very gradually, avoiding sudden changes
of all kinds. In fact. give her every care
and attention that you would one of
your own family.
Keep her warm. Warmth will double
the yield of a COW on the same feed as
compared with cold
We have for long time raised our
calves on skimmilk and faxseed jelly /;
have raised them SO that they were
everything that could be desired.
Never turn calves in pasture the first
year and never put them in the hog

The Fearful Cruelty That Makes This
Dainty a Possibility.
To the ordinary man and woman no
conception of the torture to which the
poor, unfortunate goose is put could
possibly be formed
The geese when about 8 months old
are taken from the pastures and placed
in an underground cellar, where broad.
slanting stone slabs stand in rows, and
are bound fast TO the tables. They are
literally crucified.
Feet, wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands, so that only
the neck is left free AS may be mag
ined, the animal struggles with all its
might against this stretching, till, after
days of vain endeavor to free itself
from the bands and its position, its
powers of resistance are overcome, and
dull resignation, broken only by its
low cries, takes possession of it. Two
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals are meanwhile crammed
with dumplings made Of dough Of buck
wheat, chestnuts and stewed maize
Every two hours, six times day, they
receive from three to five dumping
pills, which in time become SO sweet to
the tortured creatures that they stretch
their necks to be crammed.
The most difficult task is to deter
mine the right moment for death
Those who die of their own accord are
lost to the liver factory, therefore a
kind OF study is needed to see when the
cup of agony is trimming full and the
liver is ripe for taking. The bodies of
such ripe ones are like pumpkins
where ordinarily fingers are buried in
flesh and fat nothing but skin and bone
are found. The hvers have absorbed all
the strength and juices
