BEST SHEEP FOR THE SOUTH.
A Southern Breeder who Thinks the
Dorset the Best Breed for
Southern Farmers.

The farmers of the south need edu-
cation for sheep raising and sheep
handling. When they have learned
how to care for sheep, and their need
Of care. they will have greater and
greater success. As they begin to
succeed with sheep. others will profit
by their success. and start focks, too.
say this because have found among
some sheep owners-I will not say
raisers-in the south a sad neglect of
their flocks.
Now this seems a DEPRESSION from
my subject, but it has been my pur-
pose to show the great need of sheep
in the development of the south. We
are ready now to speak briefly of why
the Dorset is the sheep suited for the
south. There are some Dorset flocks
in the south. / have started several
fiocks myself in different states Some
of these f1ocks have met with won
tlerful success. Others have been neg
lected, and the usual result has fol-
lowed. Right here want to say that
the Dorset is a fine rustler, and will
thrive where any of the fine breeds
will, but You can not expect to meet
with success with pure bred Dorsets
if you neglect them; nor can you hope
to do it with any of the improved
breeds. rrT
The Dorsets will get nlong with lit
tie attention as well as any of the
breeds, but this is not their strong
point, and I am glad of IL. Sheep
men do not want the sheep that will
thrive with the least attention. but
the sheep that will respond most
quickly to attention. In the last re-
spect the Dorset is pre-eminent. To
my friends in the south / want to say
that / could never advise anyone to
seek sheep that will hustle for them
selves, and never succumb to hard
ships they may be heir to. If such
should survive, they would not be
worth much. There is form of Me-
rino too tough TO kill, too ugly to die,
too small for the enemy to find, that
might suit such purposes but who
would find any delight in such sheep.
even if he did make money from
them? Now / would not say thing
against the Merinos as breed, nor
are they in need of defense among
sheepmen to-day. They are the great
est wool producers; their constitution
is their bulwark, but refer to that
type of Merino that is the growth Of
hard condition and neglect. On the
other hand, see what care has done
for the Merino. 1t has developed the
famous Delaine, the lordiy Rambouil-
let and the wonderful Vermonter or
American Merino that can command
S, 900 to $1,000 for noted rams.
If the people of the south want \
sheep that will bring great results !.
with careful handling, can commend
the Dorset to them.-D. III. Arbuckle, !

PLANT OF THE IMPLEMENTS.
Could Farm Implements Really Talk
What Stories Of Neglect They
Could Tell.

In looking over the junk piles oil

the remains of many a good machine.
1t will not take the eye of an exper.

of natural death among them. All,
the stories those mute skeletons

would no longer wonder why the

Woodworking fellow is only a renter:
Il should not be here" says the
wreck of binder. Il only came
from the factory four seasons ago.
The most skilled workmen put me to-
gether, and each part was made Of
the hest material. would have done
good work for ten years, but abuse
has brought me here in three. At the
end of the first season / was still in
good shape, although I had been left
uncovered of nights and Sundays in
rain and sun. My first winter on the
farm was spent under leaky shed.
l tried to do good work next season,
bu. rust and rot had greatly weak
eneG my joints, several bolts were
missing and my owner had much
trouble to keep me going. l was
pulled up in the barnyard and left
there when the cutting was done. Ny
owner promised to run me under my
shed again. but he didn't do it. /
stood there through the summers
heat and rains and through the win
ter's snow. When harvest time came
around once more was hauled to the
repair shop and patched and fixed to
run once more. What fool that man
was. Only a little attention and a dry
place to stay was all that l required.

my revenge. No man can own an en-
gine as fine as l once was without
paying price for it. The fellow who
bought me lost his little farm, and
was the cause of it. He left me out in
all kinds of weather, summer and
winter, and turned him out of his
home | was all broke up when he
let me go. There wasn't any more
work in me-so here am"
And so the confab would go on. 1t
is pity farm tools as well as farm
animals can not talk. They would
tell things that might be of value to
their owners. The prime cause OF
poverty and bankruptcy on the farm
is neglect and ignorance.-St. Louis

SOME SHEEP SUGGESTIONS.
Few Hints that May be or Inter
est to Flockmasters of
the SOuth.

Feed the lambs. Feed them through
the ewes, and then feed them from q
well supplied feed trough.
The condition of flock is much
like that of garden. IT the weed
are left to grow it is all weeds.
1t is waste of time and feed TO
breed poor ewes. and to Gull the iiock
is Indispensable for the profit of it.
The breeding time is near. AND rs
the sheep is at this time, SO will be
the condition of the flock in the fu-
ture.
Selections of the best is the first
care of the intelligent breeder of .
flock. This is especially SO in regard
to the fleece.
Give the lambs very little wi ID Of
fine clover hay to bite at. They may
soon be educated in the way they
should go by very little training.
All signs point to a big feed Of sheep
and lambs this fall, especially in Ne
braska. where many of the cattle
feeders are going over to sheep.
We can not think or act too seri-
OuSIy On the SUBJECT oil how lmpOr-
tant it is that the shepherd should
study the nature Of WOE and know
its value. 49,
We may take it as a rule that the
lamb will pay for the food of its darn.
and leave the fleece for the profit. The
eve always stands for its own value.
One part of corn meal ground as
finely as possible, one part of bran
ground with the corn. and one part
of cotton seed smeal is an excellen:
mixture for lambs.
Nature has no more to do witt. the
shepherds business than it has With
the making of cloth from the sleeps
fieec-s- At least it is SO If the wool
grower knows his business.
The Importance of good rams in
every flock is paramount to the full
profit of a flock. "A well cared for ram
may serve fifty ewes and remain in
useful service ten years il duly cared
for. And it may easily double the
value Of the fleece Of its progeny os
compared with that Of the common
eve. Figure up the benefit in this
way to flock. and then value your
good ram in due proportion.-Thc

Il have a good joke on myself" said the
business man whose hobby is agriculture,
says the Detroit Free Press. My mind has
always had particular preference for seeds
and roots, and never miss an opportunity
to indulge this fancy. Some time ago, in
looking through an old tool box, came
across several peculiar looking seeds that at
once aroused my interest. They were ut
tie different from anything that had dis
tural experience, and decided to plant
them and see what the product would pc.
Well, did so, and for weeks l waited to
see the strange fruit, flower or vegetable
plant make an appearance, carefully nur-
turing the soil, and giving my pet bulbs the
closest attention.
Discouraged at length at their failure to
part the soil and spring into life, dug them
up, and what do you suppose was the a US
esting and peculiar bulbs were nothing more
nor less than those little bicycle balls that
are an important part of the steel steed 0
mechanism. They had been laid away in the
toolbox, and their size and rusted appearance
made them resemble seeds. My wife and
some of my intimate friends seem to think
there is no excuse for such a ludicrous thing
to happen to a man that has made study
of plants and bulbs, and they are never done
chatting me and asking me when expect
to gather my crop Of bicycles"
