Selecting Sheep
For Breeding

when selecting sheep for breeding
tho precise object for which the selec-
tIon is made is all important with him
who selects. writes Professor Thomas
show in American Agriculturlst. The
breeder Of pure breds lANlst give due
consideration to purity Of breeding as
well as 10 individuality. In selecting
breeding ewes good average size should
be sought.
A female somewhat long In body and
even almost bordering on the up
standing type is to be preferred to one
that is a chunk In makeup. The de-
gree to which such form should be
soueht will be qualified by breed.
coma breeds are naturally less rangy
thon others. The eve that is a chunk
Is less likely to breed than one with
Good long barrel. She Is also less like
" TO be prolific and likewise a good
mixer.
When selecting a good breeding eve
look first to size and symmetry; second
to capacity In barrel; third, to refine
ment in form, and, fourth, to the char
octer Of the fleece. Size has already
baen dwelt upon. Symmetry means
due correspondence between the dig
ferent parts in their development The
body inclinlng to long should be asso'
cIated with neck inclinlng to long, and
so of all the various parts. Within that
capacious body is ample room for the
processes of generation. The evidences
of refined form are to be sought for
particularly in head neat, clean Gu
and lnclining to long, in a neck inclln
ing to long or at least medium for tn
breed. and In limbs fine, but straigh
and well placed. The fleece shoul'
he long and fine for the breed, stron
in the fiber, bright in luster and OF eve
length and density over the BODY
These essentials should be sought 70
, in greater or less degree among a
breeds.
l The first requisite to look for in til
= ram is good individuality. This means
! first, compact form and symmetrical
S second, good wide level back; thsr'
' evidences of strong vlgor as shown
e massive breast, a proud carriage
n the neck, Gn easy and active moyemei
d and an observant eye, and, fouru

Winter nation For CnttIe.

A mixture of tame and wild hay to-
gether with shock corn would furnish
the most economical roughage for the
young stock during the winter, says
Andrew Boss of the Minnesota station
In Breeders Gazette. If it is supplied
to them in sheltered yard where
provision is made against trampling
the fodder under foot, profitable
growth should be obtained at reason
able cost. A mixture of bran and oats
not to exceed three or four pounds per
day for each thousand pounds live
weight would be good addition to
the ration. The steers viii get enough
grain from the shock corn to make up
the rest Of the seven pounds to ten
pounds grain ration required for good
growth.

VALUE OF NEATNEss.

1t is worth while remembering that
Just in the same way that many fruit
and vegetable products bring higher
price when put in attractive shape for
the market so is 1t true that the farm
or town property will fetch better
price If 1t is kept in neat and attrac-
tive shape. A friend who has moved
several times in the past twelve years
tells us that he has always made good
money by buying run down places and
fixing them up with a moderate ex-
penditure for carpenter work, paint
and general overhauling and cleaning
up. Not only is the value Of run
down place doubled by such treatment.
but the satisfaction which one gets
out of living in place that is kept
shipshape more than repays the cost
of maintenance.

CuIIing the stud.

Now is an excellent time to do gen
eral culllng of studs Of either pure
breds or grades, says Breeders Ca
zette. If two can be matched up into a
pair they may be sold as such and will
probably return a better figure than If
sold singly. The young and unworthy
males there is more question about
Whether to sell or to hold in the hope
of future improvement is always a
matter of the gravest moment In gen
eral, however, 1t will be found to be
good reasoning that the first cost is al
ways the least, and IL the material Is
not promising to work on there are In
deed few men who can take Gull colts
and make great horses of them. There
is Notwithstanding a place for every
horse fOaled, and If properly placed be

quite likely to be true that il feilow

easily. for it IS in saving this hrst sum
that the habit Of saving is formed, ana
that's the rub. We have In mind IN
way of Illustrating this point the case
of a young man who for period Oh
wears didn't save q cent from the
wages he earned, and, II we remember
correctly, he was boarding at home
during most of this time, so his keep
didn't cost him much. Two or three

scheme of loaning him his wages IL
small amounts, IS and $40, ON whicf
the friend was willing to pay . pei

the leak, but formed the beginning O
a habit of saving that has persisted
until today the young man In question

steers For the Feed Yard.

There was time when farmers were
looking for thin animals for feeding
purposes. They seemed to think the
gap between the skin and bones"
stage and finished condition must be
bridged by the feeder If any profit were
to be made, says the Detroit News
Tribune. All Of this has been chang
ed, however, and now the experienced
feeder no longer looks for thin feeding
stock, but prefers that which has been
well conditioned in advance Of the time
when a full grain ration Is to be fed.
That more grain Is required to make
the first hundred pounds Of gain ON
bullock than the last has been repeat
edly demonstrated and experienced
feeders prefer to buy stears that are In
fair killing condition. There are now
many cattle feeders in Michigan who
make it rule to fill their feed yards
in February or March with cattle that
have been we'll started by others.

chiclza on PIowed GROUND.


II is we'll known, though less well
known than it should be, that chicks
thrive wonderfully on plowed ground
and one we'll known poultryman plows
up alternate strips of his chick range
so that the young stock can have thelr
choice of either fresh ground or grass
ground. He insists that the youngsters
spend most Of their time on the plowec
ground.
The whitish kernels which are quite
frequently seen in the finest ears OF
Reld's yellow dent corn are said to Dc
the result of the grudge held by a
neighbor a generation ago, who, 70

corn, scattered white kernels IN ms
Aeld at planting time. Thus is nicely

LAYERS and Breeders.

Pullets on their first winter are tne
best egg producers. The older the pui-
let's are when winter begins the more
continuous will be the egg supply, ac'
cording to the Feather Eggs IRON
young pullets are not the Dest lol

KEEP THE CHILDREN AT SCHOOL

While occasions may arise when 1t
is an absolute necessity that children
should stay out Of school to assist In
the home or farm work, 1t is prac-
tice that should be discouraged as
much as possible. Youth, with its op-
portunlties for improvement and edu-
cation, comes but once, and If these
are neglected the boy or girl sustains
loss that is seldom made good In
later years. Much Of the present care
lessness on the part of parents in this
matter is due to the fact that they
see quick and definite return from
the manual labor Of the child and do
not realize that the returns from an
educational investment are spread out
over all the remaining years of the
child's life, but are none the less
substantial and real on that account.
Polk County observer. (Monmouth, Polk County, Or.) 1888-1927, 1907-02-08

In all cases where the floors OF the

a great deal can be added to the COM

such buildings a thorough banking
