Dorsets and shropshires.

Dorsets will drop two sets Of lambs
year very often if permitted to do so,
says Joseph e. Wing in The Breeders
Gazette. It 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
special purpose breed, devoted TO the
early lamb business. 1t distances all
competition in this field. The Shrop-
shire is generally a better wooled
sheep. One is as hardy as the other
SO far as can see. Nor can 1 say
which is tie larger, as that would need
knowledge of great many average
weights, which, SO far as know, have
never been gathered. The Dorset is
perhaps a trifle the larger sheep. If
the lambs are to be grown and fed off
at 10 or II months, the Shropshire has
the advantage.

BREEDING OF SWINE.
Errors to Avoid In Making Selection
of Animals.

Errors to Avoid In Making Selection
of Animals.
Professor WI. Kennedy Of the Uni
versity Of Illinois, discussing swine
breeding, said:
Too much attention cannot be paid
to the proper mating Of breeding ami
mails in order to secure good results.
This will apply more to the selection Of
the sire than the sows, for his influ-
ence is very great in the herd and will
determine to very large extent the
type Of the whole herd. Avoid the
common error of today in selecting a
fine boned hog. Progeny from such
sire will not bear up the load of a
well developed body, particularly when
being transported to market. In max
ing the selection of sire always bear
In mind the type you already have in
your herd on the part Of the sows. Are
they too long in the body, too high off
the ground, too fine in the bone, too
short in the body, lacking in constitu-
ton? Select boar Of the opposite
type to correct these evils. I cannot
lay too much stress upon the matter Of
judicious 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
Sterility oftentimes follows such a
method Of breeding, as does deteriora-
tion in the size of the animal. When
animals are strong in constitution and
Of good size, an in cross may prove
beneficial, but it should not be indulg-
ed in too often, for undesirable results
are sure to follow it's 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 g
failure to one Of his proving satisfac-
tory. Such a 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 it is Of vital impor-
tance that he be good individual,
with the best blood possible in his
veins.

Lost the Shippers.
fer Stockman: A train 10

ter St0ckman: A train load
Ixican cattle arrived from
FL raso this morning in a most
horrible condition. They were billed
for lJrmston, Baird & Patterson and
seeln to have lost the shippers in
charge of the train and came through
FROM La Junta with no one ir charge.
In the eighteen cars there were
about twelve that were stone dead
and from twenty to thirty that will
probably have to be killed or will
die before they can be taken from
tbf yards. The only wonder is
that not more OF them were dead.
From five to dozen were down in
eat car and the yard men we're a
coilple of hours dragging the half
deld cattle from the cars. Here was
an opportunity for the agent Of the
humane society who is, supposed to
W, tch the yards, but as usual he
wls not in sight. Even the yard
mi m, as hardened as they are to
such sights shuddered at the suffer
ing the poor animals had gone
through. In each car it was simply
a. case of the survival of the strong
est. Those that went down were
tIampled into pulp. A horse had to
bt. pressed into service to help
uilOad.
4 A representative OF Urmston, Baird
and Patterson in this city informed
the Union Review that the reason
for the desertion of the above men,
toned stock by the attendants was
due to the fact that the railroad COM
Pany had been in the habit of attach
ing dead freight to their cattle trains
IA opposition to the expressed wishes
{f the shippers, as it delayed the ar
tiyalof the stock at their destina-
ion. The railroad company persis-
led in the practice until patience
ceased to be virtue, and the mana
ger of the firms business at the ship
boing point, Mr.. Baird, finally resort
led to extreme measures, ordering
! the men in charge of the stock train,
in case the offence was repeated, to
! turn the train over to the railroad
company, and that the shippers
would hold them responsible for all
damages. The above clipping gives
the result, and now it remains to be
sen what the outcome will be.

Death Of R Erb

Word reached the city Monday eve-
ming that Richard E. Erb hai passed
to his last account that afternoon at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Dillon,
of Rockerville, where he has been
stopping Ior some lie past. DR..
Waldron his physician, went out to see
him last week and left him feeling
quite we'll, at least as we'll as he has
been for a long time, for he has been
in poor health for the past year, chang
ing from place to place in the hope o
improvement. However, as the above
announcement proves, he was unable to
longer resist the grim harvester's sum
mons, and succumbed. He has long
been subject to heart trouble and this
it was that caused his death.
r. E. Erb has been resident Of the
Hills for MANY years and familiar fig
ure on the streets of Rapid City. Mr..
Erb was an extensive live stock
dealer, and reputed well-to-do. He
was about sixty years old at the time of
his death.
1t was the expressed wish OF Mr.. Erb
that he be buried near his old home, in
the hills near Rockerville, and in COM
pliance with this desire the funeral was
held at Rockerville today, and inter-
ment made there Rev. Father Noesep,
of DeadWOO6. o, sed.

The Cosmopolitan for June.

One of the most remarkable but
least-poticed fact in connection with
the war in the Transvaal is the ex-
treme youth of a large palt of Gen
eral De Vets army. When hos
tilities broke out almost every grown
man enlisted, even the enfeebled but
the pace has been too rapid for the
venerable burghers. AS they were
killed or incapacilated their places
have gradually been taken by mere
school-children, many only thirteen
or fourteen years ofage. Under the
title "The Youngest Soldiers in the
World" in the June Cosmopolitan
Allen Sangree throws more light on
the makeup and life of General
De Vets commanders than any
thing hitherto published. The
naive, simple letter from fourteen
year-old Deneys Reitz to his father,
the Secretary Of State of the Trans
vaal Republic, has seldom been
equaled for vital interest by any
carefully written article on the war.
