Breeding Sheep.

The proper selection of the ram
is as important as is the selection
of the sire in any other depart
ment of breeding. The ram at
the head of many flocks is a very
imperfect representative of his
breed, and sometimes has been
selected because the price was a
few dollars less than a good ram
could have been bought for. There
is no economy in the purchase of
cheap sires, and good rams, bulls,
stations or bears can not be had
for a trif1e. The ram should be a
strong manly" fellow, if we may
use the term; broad between the
eyes, with a broad neck, large
girth and wide and prominent
brisket. The legs should be short

Rear the calves with care, and, if
heifers, breed these again to good
blooded males. With any stock a
start can be made without any
great expenditure of money; and
with only a few years more of
patient care and waiting. In adj
vising to seek the best blooded
stock, we do not mean strictly the
highest grades, or "fne stock" So
called, so much as those that are
found to be the better-paying
grades in the hands Of experienced
farmers, stock journals and agri-
cultural papers. In stock raising
of any kind one of the most inn
portant considerations is kind and
careful treatment. This has very
much to do with the condition,
disposition and growth of the ami
mails. They instinctively know
when their keeper is kind and
they appreciate it; they know
when he is irritable and cruel and
they are annoyed by it, and this
irritation destroys their vital force.

BREAK THE HEMP CORNER,

Secretary Root Has Cab,ed Instr uctfons
to General OtI..
New YORK, Jan. "a special to The
Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Root has taken measures to
break the corner in hemp. As result
of discussing the matter with the presi-
dent he has cabled this instruction to
Major General Otis:
apparently speculative corner in
hemp here. Is raising prices, to great
injury legitimate consumers. Desirable
to get South hemp ports open as soon
as practicable" =, H.
This instr action is due to the protests
made by prominent cordage manufac-
tnrers and by farmers, calling attention
to the fact that the opening of ports in
Northern Luzon today would afford no
relief to the hemp situation and ear
nestly requesting that Southern ports
be garrisoned and opened to tho trade.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Although the con-
; tiuuance of minor successes gratities
the British public, + is not forgotten
that the larger aspects of the campaign
are unchanged. AS The Daily News
remarks, 1--WE are thankful for small
mercies."
The importance Of the French and
Pitcher victories lies in the effect they
are likely to have upon the colonial
Dutch. A dispatch from Douglas con-
firms the earlier report that the Boer
lager consisted chiefly of British SUBJ
jects, who, on the arrival of small
Free State commando. accepted an in.
vitation to throw in their lot with the
Beers to terrorize the loyalists.
The disloysl element in the Barley
! district is disorganized by the British
successes. Should it turn out that the
rebellious sentiment is being broken up
it would be a matter of qualification to
the British. The Standard says:
Il Situation One Of Great Danger.
"Until the Tugela has been crossed
and Ladysmith relieved it would be
idle to deny that the political position
in Cape Colony is one of very great
danger and If, unhappily, General Bull
Ter is again defeated it will be neces-
sary to dispatch 100000 additional men
to keep the Dutch in order"
Winston Churchill's estimate that
$50, 900 men will be required to defeat
the forces of the two republics has been
ridiculed in many quarters. but as a
matter of fact This number is already
almost reached. without the extra 10O.-
900 which The Standard foresees might
be required.
When the force en- route for the
Transvaal joins those already there
Lord Roberts will he in command of
about 100000 men. Thirty Thousand
are already ahoat or ready to embark.
Military observers. in view of what
these figures mean. cannot see how the
British can fail to crush the Beers by
mere force of numbers.
