In the matter of u carnival for

Grafton by the Business Club,
Monday night W. /. Wayland
of The San Angelo Press, moved
that it be held for 6 days instead
of three. Upon motion of Hon.
Brown +. Lee the motion was
amended to leave the length of
the Carnival or Fair" to the dis
creation of the Carnival EXecu-
tive Committee" Mr. Wayland
voted for the amendment.
There seems to be n disposition
on the part of number of people
to make it Far. This senti-
ment is in direct line with a sug-
gestion made in II Press editorial
last October, Immediately after
che close OF the Carnival OF lVO4.
At the same time The Press pro-
posed that the Carnival or Far
be held for six days il stead Of
three.
Here are some of the reasonsi
/. The expenses Of the Carni-
val include al. the premiums paid
in the fine stock, agricultural and
poultry departments. The purses
paid in racing and other contests
come largely, if not wholly, from
the entry fees. Therefore, the

Sheep For
Meat and Wool

The middle wool breeds, when fat
meat well, says n Wisconsin sheep
grower in American Cultivator. This
quality makes them winners both on
foot and on the block and popular with
buyer and consumer. Their good flesh
making qualities are also of value in
maturing the lambs early, thus giving
the breeder the chance to put them on
the market at almost any age from six
weeks to year
The long woods place much more fat
in and upon their carcasses, thus not
giving as good quality of carcass, but
heavy weights when mature that sell
at somewhat lower price.
The larger long wool breeds are all
the products of rich lowland soils that
produce large amounts of rapid grow
ing heritage. The middle wool breeds
are the products of lighter and higher
soils, except the oxford Down, whose
home is in a comparatively rich dis
trict, which shows in the size and de-
velopment of the largest of the Down
or dark faced breeds.
If l want a large, growthy lamb to
put on the market at six or eight
weeks old, l will use a larger breed
than the Southdown, which | might
use If | was after mutton chop. For
such lambs am partial to the oxford,
but the Hampshire might give as good
satisfaction.
The oxford Down Is the largest and
heaviest flecced of all the Down breeds.
Some of its heaviest specimens weigh
over 400 pounds, and probably no
breed, except the Lincolns, has pro.
duced heavier weights. This is the sec.
ond breed In popularity in this coun-
try among mutton breeds, as denoted
by the number Of breeders and ami.
mails recorded. The size, width of body,
weight of fleece, production Of large,
good lambs, coupled with their smooth
ness, quality and hardness, are the
qualifications which are rapidly widen.
ing this breeds field Of popularity.
The Lincoln Sheep.
This breed, which originated in Lin
colnshire England, vies with the Cots
void for the position of being consid-
cred the largest Of the long wool
breeds, says American Cultivator. The
form is very squarely built, and when
mature the representatives Of this
breed are very heavy, The face is pure
white, somewhat long and surmounted
by tuft of wool. The body is exceed
ingly full in It's development and mark
ed specially by very wide, level and
deep tleshed back, while the hind quar-
tiers are usually well developed, being
very square in form. The wool is long
in fiber, very strong, frequently inclin.

is particularly lustrous and parts easily
