If you want to ask II sheep where
he got his wool and why, take dog
into IA mountain pasture land, and
II the sheep are afraid OF the dog
they will invariably run up hill
rather than down. You have your
answer. The ancestors of the do
nestle sheep, like wild sheep of the
present day, lived among high
mountains and needed their woolly
covering to protect them against the
constant cold Of the high atmos-
pheres, They chose the high and
inhospitable region to live in be-
cause they found the fierce, flesh
eating animals of the plains too
strong for them. A proof of these
facts is that the wool grows on n
sheep the year round. -Chicaoo

Of dropping her first calf and the
first year afterward She ought to
be kept in good, thrifty condition,
fed good variety of food, he hand
led to make her gentle, and be given
such care as is best calculated to
develop her mother qualities.
When heifer first comes to her
milk, the milk glands that con
sttute the udder are undeveloped
With these, as with many other
organs, growth is stimulated by use
But the desire to secure Il rapid
increase of progeny in too ma ~
cases induces the owner to breed The
heifer the second time too soon, and
the effect of this is always detri
mental to her best development.
Before he processes OF lactation
have been fully developed, a second
process is introduced into the sys-
tenn that is opposed 30 he produc-
ton of milk. The energies of the
COW are turned to the growing of
the young calf One great secret in
the development ct II heifer for the
dairy is tu defer the breeding for
her second calf for at least four
months, and, in most cases, six
months would he better. In this
way all her energies may be devoted
to milk production. As soon as the
milk flow is well established and
the danger OF milk fever is past, her
treatment, both in feeding and care
should be such as will enable her
to produce the largest quantity Of
milk for the longest period.
One advantage in breeding the
young heller SO that she will drop
the first calf after grass and clover
have made good growth is that
the conditions of milk production
are then most favorable, and, with
good pasturage and light feeding
OF bran and cornmeal or bran and
ground oats, the young heifer may
be kept up to her full capacity of
milk production.
At the start, the ndder should be
rubbed and kneadea as an aid to
develope H. Her treatment should
be such as will keep her quiet and
gentle, and her feeding should be
such as will maintain her in good !,
thrifty condition.
