A few years ago we read so much

We are only beginning the business
Of sheep culture ON this side of the At
lantic. 1t will not do for us to adopt
without due consideration the fashions
in breeding which are existing in other
countries. Every distinct people and
nation has different needs, habits and
thoughts. Hence while we may adopt
some foreign customs for a beginning
these soon change as they are found to
be deficient in some respects. The for
eign habit of mutton eating, for in
stance, and our American tastes in this
respect differ and always will from
those of other countries. and we shall
always have distinct American NUT
ton sheep evolved out of our popular
tastes in this respect Consequently we
must inevitably soon find out that as a
people we have distinct tastes in this
respect. and those who cater to the
markets must study the demands of
them and meet them, and not be guided
unwisely by foreign habits American

SUNSHINE FOR cows.

Bovine TubercuIOsis.

Aat00mF SURROUNDINGS are ~ AAuHG ~
Bovine Tuberculosis.
Cows. like plants. need not only light,
but sunshine, says George E. Newell in
the Boston Cultivator. In winter they
are necessarily deprived of more of it
than in summer. Now the pale sun
light. while it possesses but little
warmth. is by each frightening day in
creased in efficacy and should not be
withheld from milk cows.
No plan is more insanitary than to
keep cows confined in a gloonily sun
less stable. while outside the premises
are flooded in the genial warmth Of
Soils rays.
All COW stables should be so con-
structed as to catch every bit of winter
sunshine possible. the more the better.
To this end they should be well lighted
if possible with south windows and
these windows be kept free of those
curtains of filth-cobwebs and dust.
Cows kept in sunless stables are
affected about the same way that plants
are in sunless rooms They are sickly
and have diminished vitality.
1t is in such stables that tuberculosis
turks and all the legislation in the
world will not obviate this disease un-
til dairymen better learn and practice
the principles of hygiene Keep cows
out of the gloom and in the sunshine il
you would have healthy vigorous ami
mails capable of yielding a maximum
quantity of milk.
1t is for this reason that | earnestly
advocate tightly inclosed barnyards,
acting as wind breaks. where COWS may
sun themselves for short periods on
warm winter days.
The ordinary barnyard is a refriger-
ator in winter and cesspool in sum
mer, and for cows to go into it out of
the stable is like stepping from the fry
ing pan into the fire.
Barnyards should be the warmest.
contest. most sheltered hooks about the
dairy premises. In other words, they
should be a blessing and not a curse.
If properly protected by wind break
walls, and in ordinary weather. cows
can be turned out to their great ad-
vantage in the middle of nearly every
winters day.
The ordinary plan of turning them
out every forenoon in a yard perhaps
swept by cold blasts, or permitting
them to wander at will to the frozen
stream. is what saps their vitality and
helps to render them ''spring poor. .

PURE BRED.
An Expression without Very Ex-
act Definition.

An Expression without Very FIX
act Definition.
The correct definition of the express
sion ''pure bred is at present agitating
the minds of the breeders Of some vari-
cites of live stock. says the London Live
Stock journal But apparently solu-
ton of the difficulty is not so easy TO
discover as may at first sight appear 10
be the case On the other hand, there
can be no doubt that the expression
s'mongrA" is easily defined. though un-
fortunately it is by no means so simple
task as breeders might wish it to be
to apply it to the animal world without
giving great offense. The fact that the
first definition of the word is 'sthe prog
eny resulting from a cross between
two breeds, as of domestic animals, .
does not seem to place any limit or re-
striction upon the extent of the applica-
tion of the term, and as the vast ma
jority of the modern varieties of ami
mails are the result of crossing two or
more breeds the difficulty of drawing
the line is at once apparent. For in
stance, one breed is said to have been
improved by the introduction of Flem-
ism blood, and another was probably a
half bred Arab and old English mare.
Yet none of these breeds can be legiti-
mately stigmatized as mongrel. though,
according to the rendering of the i'm
mortal Webster, they can scarcely claim
to be pure bred. The very thorough
bred of which all Englishmen are so
justly proud is admittedly the result
of comparatively recent cross, and even
many varieties of ponies which for
centuries have roamed their native
hills and moors are known to have
been improved by the infusion of ex-
traneous blood. The question of defining
the term ''pure bred must therefore
depend very greatly upon the personal
ideas of those who use it. But perhaps
a general point of agreement might be
accepted upon something of such a
basis-that pure breed IS one that has
been uncrossed for a stated number of
generations and is capable of reproduc-
ing its type with certainty. 1t is TO be
feared, however, that the inevitable
throw backs which occasionally appear
might raise difficulties over the accept
ance of this definition of a very diff
cult expression.

Cattle shina

The accommodations for cattle on
board modern nip are luxurious in
contrast with the cruelty and suffering
attendant on their shipment in the
early days Of the trade Their fodder is
OF the finest quality. their stalls are az
comfortable as they can be made and
are lighted by electric light. With this
greater care for the comfort of the
beasts has come a largely reduced loss
IN transit. In this particular direction
the war has brought about one salutary
reform. The fret steamers sent to Cuba
lost in transit from 10 to SO head. This
loss. 1t Is said. was caused by the load
ing OF the cattle into the steamers by
hosting them with rope and pulley.
the pulley being hooked into a rope
around the base Of the horns of the ami
NAL, allowing the whole weight to be
held up by the horns This harbarous
practice has been discontinued, and all
the steamers in the trade have ports
large enough TO allow Of driving the
cattle through them. Since the loading
by hoisting was abandoned the loss Of
cattle in transit has been very small -

Clear kerosene spray.

There are reports of the use of kero-
sene as spray with effective results
and without injury to foliage If used
at all, it should be with great care. and
the Michigan station cautions against
its use upon the peach in particular
This station advises that just before the
buds open in the spring the bark is
well filled with sap, and the danger of
injury then is less than at other times.
If the kerosene is carefully applied SO
that it will not run down the trunk and
Saturate the soil about the roots, it can
be used upon nearly all kinds of fruit
trees at this time. By using fine noz-
zle it can be sprayed upon the trees
and will go as far as twice the quantity
of other insecticides. For trees infested
with San jose and other scale insects
this will be a cheap and effective rem
edy. Care should be taken to spray
upon warm. bright days and while the
trees are dry, SO that the kerosene will
quickly eyaporate and thus lessen the
danger of injury to the trees.
