Dorsets will drop two sets of lambs
a year very often If permitted to do so,
says Joseph Il. Wing in The Breeders
Gazette. 1t is not generally a good
practice. One crop dropped at the
right season from ewes strong and full
OF milk is most profitable. The first
cross of ewes from a Dorset sire will
generally lamb in the fall. Very inter-
esting trials were made by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station to test this
point.
Comparing Shropshires and Dorsets
is hardly fair to either. The Dorset is
a special purpose breed, devoted to the
early lamb business. 1t distances all
competition in this field. The Shrop-
shire is generally better wooled
sheep. One is as hardy as the other
so far as l can see. Nor can l say
which is the larger, as that would need
a knowledge of a great many average
weights, which, so far as know, have
never been gathered. The Dorset is
perhaps a trifle the larger sheep. II
the lambs are to be grown and fed of
at 10 or II months, the Shropshire has
the advantage.

The AnEOra Goat.

In some of the western states they
are getting about as excited over the
Angora goat as they have been over the
Belgian hares. In fact, the goat is the
older excitement Of the two, as first
importations were made in 1913 and
the next in 1866, when seven head
were brought to California. These
were from Turkey, and in 1893 and
1890 new blood was secured from
South Africa. The fleece, or mohair,
Is second only to silk in fineness and
luster, and articles made from 1t are
more lasting than silk. Twice as much
of 1t was imported from Turkey and
South Africa last year as was produc-
ed in this country; also about 25,000,-
600 goatsklns. The flesh Is said to be
often sold as mutton, but more nearly
resembles venison in grain and flavor,
with the fats distributed through the
meat instead of placed on the outside,
as with the sheep, The goats are much
priced as clearers of brush land. While
they are pretty and useful animals we
do not hear of many of them coming
to the eastern states.-Amerlcan Guilt

CHAMPION SHIRE STALLION HA1LsToNE.

a horse that is good enough to be used
In France and in fact in almost every
country must surely be good one.
George Il. Brown of Illinois has this
to say concerning Shlres:
The advancement of Shire horse in
terest in this country has been serious
ly retarded by n number of conditions,
for which the breed is blameless. First
of all is the one | have referred to on
different occasions-viz the wide diff
ference between the selling price in
England of strictly first class sound
animals and that of inferior unsound
ones. The best English breeders will
not patronlze inferior or unsound stall
lions on any terms. Hence they must
find foreign market for them, for IL
castrated they would not bring the
price Of third class geldings. This
fact accounts for so many of that class
OF Shlres finding their way to America.
Second, Shires In America have not
had the undivided efforts of individual
importers in pushing them to the
front, which is the case with other
breeds. With few exceptions the
men who are importing Shires have
also one or two more competing breeds,
hence cannot consistently argue with
much force on the strong points of the
Shire without hurting their other in
| terests. In fact, they know they can
not afford to bring the highest type of
Shire or else their other horses would
suffer by close comparison. | know of
some firms who have purposely
brought over inferior Shres and kept
them solely to support their claims OF
superiority for their favorltes by com.
parison. -r' 't--;r
Again, Shlres have suffered from the
lack of concerted effort of their vari
GUS owners, which has been enjoyed
by other breeds. On the contrary
there has been an unhealthy rivalry
and jealousy among Shire importers
almost from the very first.

Grrors'tc s It'd In Making Selection
ui Animals.
Professor S. j. Kennedy of the Uni
Se-s'y Of Illinois discussing swine
Dg ding, said:
Too uach attention cannot be ID
TO the proper mating of breeding
mails in order TO secure good res s
This will apply more to the selection oi
the sire than the sows, for his inac-
ence is very great in the herd and ' u
determine TO very large extent the
tape of the whole herd, Avoid tlo
common error of today in selecting a
fine boned hog. Progeny from such o
sire will not bear up the load of q
well developed body, particularly whe
being transported to market. In NAL
ing the selection of sire always bea
in mind the type you already have /
your herd on the part of the sows. Ar
they too long in the body, too high of
the ground, too fine in the bone, toe
short in the body, lacking In constitu-
tlon? Select a boar of the opposite
type to correct these evils. l cannot
lay too much stress upon the matter Of
judlcious mating.
The evil results which follow in or
close breeding are numerous and very
marked. A weakened constitution gen.
orally results, and thus the animal be-
comes more susceptible TO disease.
Sterlity oftentimes follows such a
method of breeding, as does deterlora-
tion in the size Of the animal. When
animals are strong In constitution and
of good size. an in cross may prove
beneficial, but 1t should not be indulg-
ed in too often, for undesirable results
are sure to follow its continued use.
A grade sire should never be used.
no matter how good an individual he
may be. To use such sire Is gam
bling on the part of the breeder, for
there are nine chances of his being a
failure to one of his proving satisfac-
tory. Such n sire lacks prepotency,
which is the power TO reproduce his
like with any degree of certainty. Al
ways bear in mind that the sire is half
the herd. Thus 1t is of vital impor-
tance that he be a good individual,
with the best blood possible in his
veins.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

with Little Care They Are n
Source of Profit.
OF all domestic animals sheep are
the greatest fertilizers, the best scaven-
gers and the easiest kept with the
least expense of any live stock on the
farm, says w. Watson in Wool Mar
kets and Sheep. My own experience
has taught me that they are not only
the farmers relief from hard work,
but that they will pay for all the care
and all the feed that are given them in
the way of manure.
There can be found on almost every
farm in the land some rough and hilly
ground that is not producing as 1t
should, and all that land could in n
short time be made as valuable as the
rest by the pasturing and feeding of q
few sheep thereon, for they will seek
the highest points, and there they
will scatter their manure better and
evener than can be done in any other
way. 1t is my opinion that IA farm
can maintain flock of sheep, say one
sheep to every two acres, at compare
lively no cost whatever, and they will
bring him from SO to So per head each
year, so that ON every farm of 100
acres 80 sheep can be kept, and they
will pay in manure for every bit Of
feed and all the care, and the farmer
is ahead from $50 to $500 each year.
believe the worst trouble expert
enced by many shepherds is the feed
ing of corn TO their sheep. Corn
should never be fed TO breeding sheep
under any circumstances. The best
and cheapest feed is bran and oats
mixed equal parts with good clover
hay or corn fodder Good shelter from
storms should not be neglected. They
must also have good water TO drink,
for that is as necessary as feed.

Keep Them Growing.
The care includes the manner of feed
ing troughs, feed racks, curing of the
hay and gathering of the crops, says
stock raiser In Kansas Farmer. In the
manner of feeding growing stock 1t is
very essential to have the feed in the
best condition. l mean by that it
should be clean and free from mold
and clean utensils to feed from and in.
The feed should be fresh and as clean
as possible from dirt. Being regular in
time OF feeding is an important point.
Another thing is the amount fed each
time.
had a great deal rather feed too lit
tie than too much. This is true in
young growing stock. 1t Is very neces-
sary that they are kept hungry and ac-
tive, because 1t is through vital power
that they digest and assimilate the
food given them, and unless they are
allowed to become hungry between
feeding times they will lay around too
much to develop their muscles and Vi
tai organs. So my plan is to feed ali

then have a yard big enough that they
can exercise and play in. Did you ever
