of dairy farms, and on only a small
per cent. have I found proper atten-
ton paid to the cleanliness and sweet
ness of the so-called "swill barrel"
Yet through this same barrel passed
the bulk of the food given to the
young dairy recruits, the calves,
upon whom the maintenance of the
farms income depended.
Remember, that calves or pigs do
best when given good dairy slop as
an auxiliary food. It should be
auxiliary to grass, upon which the
animals may run with perfect free
dom. To pen them up during the
summer season and feed them ex-
clusively on liquid food, is to secure
imperfect physical development and
extra paunch growth. By wisely pre-
serving and feeding the dairy waste,
five dollars extra per COW can be
added to the income of every farm.

A VALUABLE BOOK.

We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest $1.25 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to US for a copy Of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's principles Of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the ''whys and wherefores"-the
principles-of the business Of
farming. It is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view Of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has one been issued
which the average reader of this
paper SO badly needs. The work is
handsomely bound, we'll illustrated,
clearly printed and contains 300
pages. Send us $1.25 and get copy.
We guarantee satisfaction.

the ideal condition which should be

more fertilizer will be needed, as
corn is a great exhauster of fertility.

the cold does no harm whatever to

SHEEP OR WOOL; OR BOTH.

The Michigan Experiment Station
has issued a valuable bulletin on the
the "PrOduction and Marketing of
Wool" in which some season re-
marks on the question of flock rails
ing are dealt with. We make the
following extracts therefrOm:
1t is doubtful whether the time
will ever come when the keeping of
sheep for the production of wool
alone a be made profitable in
Michigan or in many localities in the
United States.
Wool growing upon such a basis
must, in the future, be confined to
localities remote from the great meat
consuming centers, where farmers
are unprOvided with rapid transpor-
tatiOn to these centers, or where the
cost of transportation of mutton
would be so high as to render the
carcass of little or no value.
A moments consideration would
suggest that wool growing under
such conditions could only be made
profitable upon cheap lands where
the herding of large focks would be
possible and where the Climate and
other conditions would be favorable
to the development Of sheep and the
healthy growth of the wool fiber.
We can conceive how present condi-
tions might be so changed as to rem
der sheep husbandry profitable, if
the wool product only were taken
INTO account. 1t is not probable,
however, that we shall ever see d
repetition of conditions which ex-
listed earlier in this century. 1t is
not probable that the price of the
inner grades of wool will go so high
UnaE the breeder, even of that class
Oh sneep, can afford to entirely over

OUR AMERICAN MERINos.

OUR AMERICAN MER1NOS.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
One is scarcely conscious of the
revolution that has come over the
sheep industry in this country I'M
less he has followed more OF less
closely the development of the Ameri-
can Merino in the past ten and ff-
teen years. We heard much about
the poor quality of the Merino twenty
years ago, and were told that the
fine fleece that came from abroad
England, SCOTLAND, New Zealand and
Australia-wOuld OutSel our MerinO
wool in any market. The Merino
was not considered a fine breed of
sheep at all, and it was furthermore
claimed that it never could be made
such. The revolution in the indus
try has completely changed all this.
The American breeders have quietly
improved their Merinos until today
they produce not only the heaviest
yield of fleece, but as fine as almost
any sheep in existence, while at the
same time their carcasses T excel
lent for mutton. These qualities
make the American Merino the equal
if not the superior of any breed in
the world for general purposes.
We have seen in the same time the
decline in New Zealand and Austral-
ian focks. The English markets.
have demanded mutton from the
colonies, and the sheep breeders of
Australia and New Zealand have
striven so hard to meet this demand
that they have depleted their focks
and steadily reduced the quality of
their woods. 1t is said today that it
will take Australia ten years to re-
cover her lost prestige in the wool
markets of the world. Not only will
the number of the focks have to be
increased, but the quality of the
woolproducing animals be improved.
In this country we have seen a steady
improvement in the quality of the
fine woods, and today the breeding is
all going along this line. We are
not sacrificing wool for mutton. If
we did we would make a mistake.
We hold the supremacy in the wool
markets of the world, especially in
the finer grades, and we cannot afford
to lose it. .Ir We continue to make
these conditions more emphatically
favor us we shall not only control
the markets for fine wool, but at
tract more foreign buyers here than
ever before. To some foreigners the
idea of America controlling the fire
wool markets of the world seems
ridiculous, for London has held that
plum so long that it must belong
there by right of inheritance. But
it would not be the first industry
that we have revOlutiOnized and
taken from the more conservative
foreigner. What we ueed now is the
same steady Improvement in breed
ing, selection and care Of sheep that
we have maintained in the last ten
years. The result of that will be to
make our wool product more valuable
than ever before, and give to us a
paramount influence in the sheep
and wool industry of the world.

The Dairy.
UTILIZING DAIRY WASTE.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Dairymen who have an eye to all
the profit in their business that is
obtainable, seek to utilize the sweet
skinned milk, sour milk, butter
milk, or whey, that results after the
various modes of tactical manufac-
ture. To utilize it with profit does
not mean that it is to be treated as
unclean ''swill," and dumped into a
sour barrel from which unfortunate
pigs and calves T fed. Any variety
of the dairy waste above mentioned,
if stored in clean receptacles and fed
judiciously and comparatively fresh
to growing calves, will result in the
upbuilding of the dairy instead of
the opposite.
POt-bellied, hide-bOund scrawny
animals, follow the feeding of fer
mented or excessively sour and ILL
smelling dairy swill, which has no
legitimate place except in a sewer.
Butter milk is best fed if diluted
with sweet SKINNED milk or. sweet
whey. It is too rich for growing
animals if fed alone, and stunts them
rather than a~ccelerates development.
Keep your storage barrel for dairy
waste in a cooI ventilated spot, and
take no half way measures when YOU
daily wash and scald it. The pre-
cautions outlined in this article are
by no means unnecessary, if one
wishes to get all of the good there is
out of milk and it's products.

look the ultimate value of the car
cass for the block.
We expect to see in the future
more than in the past, two classes of
sheep raisers throughout the United
States. One class will keep sheep
for the primary object Of producing
mutton. with wool as a secondary or
incidental product; the other will
aim to produce wool first and mutton
second. Whether the production of
wool or mutton should be the aim of
the breeder will depend upon his per-
sonal preference and upon his
capacity. Some sheep raisers will
prefer the mutton breeds, others the
Merino. The great mass of sheep
owners will vacillate from breeding
grades of the one to breeding grades
of the other as conditions favorable
to the production of wool or mutton
at the time seem to render the one
or the other most profitable. 1t is
not hard to see that the ranchman
who can run large f1ocks of sheep in
bands, and who has at his command
an almost unlimited grazing ground
can produce wool more economically
than the general farmer who keeps
a flock and looks upon it simply as
an incidental contributor to his in
come.
The owners of small focks then,
soonest feel the effects of depression
and are most apt to quickly dispose
of their focks after one or two III
profitable years. These facts should
forcibly impress upon the minds of
flock owners, the desirability of
choosing one or the other of these
lines of sheep husbandry and adher-
ing to it year after year. Not until
the wool growers of this country are
content to do this will the sheep in
dustry, viewing it either from the
purely wool-producing or the NUT
ton-producing standpoint, ever take
it's place in the front rank of the
great sheep-growing countries of the
world. We believe future conditions
will bear us out in the statement
that there will be very few years
when the man who has a flock of
either mutton or wool sheep of good
quality, who pursues careful and
painstaking methods in handling
them will fail to secure a net profit.
There is a promising outlook for
the American farmer who economic
ally produces wool and mutton. I
doubt if we shall again see the time
when the flock master a ecu a
net profit from his flock unless he
makes a thorough study of the in
dustry, knows what he IS trying to
do, and how he is to accomplish his
ends, and is willing to settle upon u
policy of breeding and rigidly adj
here to it. May I venture to suggest
here that one of the greatest sources
of loss to the American farmer has
been his vacillating from one line of
breeding to another, from one rota-
ton of crops to another, and from
one system of farming to another.
Use all the means at hand to decide
the wisest line of sheep husbandry to
pursue under your conditions, and
then do not deviate from it without
the best of reasons. Remember that
a constant, persistent and settled
is best.
