tive amount of the coarse foods that
are fed to the sheep and goats. so that
a nearly accurate ration may be for

portion of the time. l would only sug-
gest that if circumstances will admit
one might well reduce the proportion
of cornstalks to be fed, but if this can
not well be done. that one add to the
grain ration a little old process linseed
cake. preferably Of the pea size, or the
nutted cake. This is most valuable
food for any kind of live stock, and
Wherever possible, should constitute a
proper portion of the grain ration. /

Tho Head of the Herd.

The bringing of a fresh male into n
herd where every COW produces yearly
300 pounds of butter or 10000 pounds
Of milk is a serious problem, one call
ing for the exercise of the greatest care
and skill at the command of the
breeder, yet how often do we find that
this future head of the herd has been
selected and purchased without being
seen and solely upon general descrip-
tion laying special emphasis upon blood
Inheritance.
The head is emphasized for the rea-
son that back of the shoulders we look
fol and insist upon the distinct dairy
type, the open spinal column, wide rib,
long and well sprung, good body, long
quarter with absence of fat, the long,
slim tail, that strength, yet ut the same
time heXibility of skin which speaks
of quality, the fiat bone of high grade
and the well set rudimentarles with
promise of adder development.
These we insist upon, but do we de-
mand the stamp of virlle energy In
head and neck. the evidence of massive
masculinity, that strong, rugged head
with horns we'll set, abundant room for
brain development, good, clean face
of length and strength, with broad,
strong muzzle and lips, and large,
heavy nostrils? Do we require an eye
that stands out full and large and that
at the first glance impresses with its
sure sign of intelligence, will power
and quality; an ear well set, not large
enough to be coarse, neither so small
ms to indicate temper, jowl broad,
strong and spreading, yet cleanly cut
at the throttle and n neck of such
strength and upward curve that 1t com
pletes the picture and satisfies the pur-
chaser and breeder?
Against this head set the mild, fine
short face, with small mouth, thin lips
bright eye and a pleasant ear, and
you have the cow face on the bun's
shoulders. Success in breeding with
such n male Is practical impossibility
yet we find such cases In altogether toe

II the county to get bullion. Last
evening Mr.. Root brought over three
hundred pounds Of good grade bullion
nto this city, and it, together, with
finished at the smelter last evening,
makes close to a thousand pounds Of
metal, which represents a tidy sum
Of cash when converted into the same.
A number of home people we're OF
the opinion that the first run would
wind up affairs, but on the contrary,
the people who are running the plant
intend to keep the furnaces hot and
show that this section has valuable
mines lying almost inside it's bord-
ers.
Mr.. Root, in speaking Of the run
so far made, stated that he was more
satisfied and even surprised at the
quantity and quality of the product.
The assay values before and after
smelling have held up beyond the
average, and this, together with the
developments in the mines makes
him the more anxious to place the
large fifty ton smelter that has been
ordered, on the ground. He is salts,
fed that this county has one of the
finest copper bearing belts in the
State, and his assays certainly show
that he is right, while the results Of
the smelter bear him out in every par
ticula..
The establishment Of such a plant
as is planned by the gentlemen inter
ested is one of the most beneficial
plans yet offered in this county, and
it means the employment Of half a
hundred men as soon as operations
begin. The people interested do not
come to this county to benefit the
people in particular, but to make mon
ey on their investment and from the
trial runs it is safe to say that they
have hit the right trail to make what
they are looking for. Mr. Root came
here with the intention OF starting a
smelter after sampling the claims, and
he has carried out his part of the pro-
gram. AS it is not stock selling
proposition, but a clean cut invest
ment by outside people and it certain
ly has every indication of being the
best industry that has started in this
county in many years.
