THE SHEPHERD
AND HIS STOCK.

To produce and maintain a flock
with uniformly good constitutions, Wig
0rous and thrifty, test the ability OF
a shepherd more than to produce one
that Is a fine wool producer or that
carries good mutton form, says a
writer In American Sheep Breeder.
Good constitution and breed that
is adapted to the environment are
necessary conditions for a vigorous
flock. There is great difference,
however, in the strength of constitu-
ton of different individuals of any
breed. 1t is indicated by the form
and appearance OF the animal. A deep
chest, front legs set wide apart, brisket
coming well forward, we'll sprung ribs
marks showing plenty of room for
heart, lungs and digestive organs-are
evidences, though not infallible ones,
Of good constitution. Stronger evil
dence of 1t or lack OF 1t Is to be
seen in the motions and carriage of the
animal, the poise of the head and ears,
the expression Of the eye and the APP
parent spirit of the animal. These are
not easy to describe intelllgently, but
are easily recognized by the expe-
rienced shepherd.
Constitution Is an inherited character
istfc. one that is born with the animal.

the dark as to the nature or handling
of the disease. In the spring OF 1905
the trouble began to appear abundant
ly In certain sections, and the attention
of the writer was called to the need OF
information concerning this disease by
DR.. G.. w. Shaw of the California ex-
pertinent station.
The disease In question is a peculiar
stunning or nondevelopment Of the
plant, occurring often under conditions
apparently very favorable for growth.
Some years in large areas the plants
stop gowing, the leaves curl and GRIN
kle In a peculiar manner, the roots be-
come blackened In the internal rings.
and soon the whole crop is complete
loss. The disease has been studied
more or less In different places, but its
cause has never been discovered
The disease has very marked rela-
ton to moisture and climate, especially
rainfall at certain seasons, but pre-
sents many very peculiar features. 1t
Is a very definite disease, with charac-
teristic symptoms, and not simply the
Injurious effect of unfavorable condi-
tons. The disease is one of num-
Der of so called physiological plant
diseases and resembles in some fea-
lures similar diseases of the tobacco.

lsouth Devon ram. first prize at royal
show
Just as In other matters In breeding,
not all the conditions affecting 1t are
known, but 1t is as certainly trans
mitted from parent to offspring as any
other trait. So that II is important
that the progeny Of only such animals
as have good constitutions be retained
in the fiocks, and not all of them, for
there Ia variation In this particular as
In all others, and parents OF strong
constitutions sometimes have weak on
spring. The evidences Of good consti-
tuition should be required In the indi-

tanned as breeders.
However good the constitution OF g
sheep may be, It cannot retain its vigor
unless 1t be well fed. A hungry flock

that are much more severe than those

toned. The breed must be adapted

grade or pure bred sheep under the
conditions of feed and shelter that are
adapted only to low grades or scrubs.
Having the right breed for the en-
vironment or else making the environ
ment suit the chosen breed, having in
dividuals of good constitution to start
with and subjectlng to a rigorous in
spection all additions to the flock. there
is yet one important point in maintain
ing the vigor of the flock. That Is
culling. Some sheep have at times all
the outward marks of good constitu-
ton that do not really have 1t. Such
may be allowed to enter the flock, and
they will soon begin to show signs of
their weakness. Every sheep will
break down from old age and lose
vgor and become Improbable or sue
cumb to disease at some time. The
period of usefulness varies much with
the breed and varies much with indi-
viduals of the same breed. Some be-
come Improbable at three or four
years OF age, others at ten or twelve or
even older. The shepherd should have
his flock under his constant observa-
ton, and whenever a sheep begins to
show signs OF weakness, evidence OF
disease or lack of thrift and vigor 1t
should be removed from the flock.

In their wild state monkeys live IN
the woods, on the trees, and feed on
fruits, leaves and insects. They live
together in companies and never go
alone when they wish to rob an or
chard or find their food. It seems as
II they laid regular plans, for part Of
them stand to watch the approach Of
enemies and part enter the field. They
form a straight line, reaching from
those within to some place beyond
which Is retreat for them. When
they are all arranged In due order
those In the orchard near the trees
throw the fruit to those outside as fast
as they can gather 1t. These pass it
over to those nearest to them till the
fruit Ia all nicely lodged In their hut
or retreat. II the one who acts as
sentinel perceives any one coming. he
makes loud noise, and they all run
away. Yet even then they will take
some fruit under each OF their arms or
forepaws and also In their mouths.
Thay are mischievous animals and an
noy travellers exceedingly by throwing
stones and sticks at them, and they
win frequently follow them for some
distance when they are passing through
the woods by leaping from tree to tree
They are capable Of forming strong at
tachments even with othsr animals,
and they EXHIBIT madness, aGsetion

Care Of the Harness.

I have seen collars and saddles put

In the Horse Breeder. "No time to

''iarky" disposition, the risk Of break

second hand as bargain and nicely
done up by the local carriage builder,
but 1t Is very seldom washed and new

The Value of Mules.

Few farmers realize the real value
of mules
They will do as much work as horses
on less food. They will live longer,
and they can be kept sound more
easily.
A mule will never eat or drink when
he is heated nor run way in blind
panic, like horse
If mule is properly trained when
youngster, he will not kick, and he
Will always respond to kindness and
good, common sense treatment.
Why not raise mules on the farm?
A good pair of mules when three
years old will bring from $400 to $500.
