SHEEP BREEDING.

The sheep breeding industry is be-
ing abused by the careless use OF
breeding animals of inferior and low
grade, more than any other branch OF
live stock business. In hogs and cat
tie there has for years been a demand
for the best of improved breeds, says
Shepherds Criterion. Not only has
the poor grade of rams in many in
stances been used, but mixture OF
breeds has been used in the same
flock, thus creating a wide divergence
in quality and appearance of the indi>
vidual animals.
The sheep is the easiest animal to
make conform to the ideas of type
and character that the skill of the
breeder can influence. Great results
may be had in one season. in the crop
of lambs The key to success in breed
ing sheep is just the same as in breed
ing any other kind of animals success
fully, and that is to have a purpose
in view, have an ideal animal in mind
and then breed to that type of animal.
The flock owner who likes all breeds,
forms, types and characters has no
preference, no choice, will never pro-
glomeration of mixtures without char
acter, without beauty and without
value.
The flock of sheep should all be
alike in appearance; it is very impor-
tant that they all be alike. The sheep
supplies two products, wool and NUT
ton. In wool especially it is desirable
and important that the fleece be of the
same grade. 1t makes the crop of wool
more valuable if it is uniform in quail
ity, same length and staple, same in
color, same in texture, same in general
appearance so that when the wool
buyer or manufacturer picks up a
fleece it is a fair representative OF
the whole pile Of wool from the flock.
1t is attractive to the eye, it creates
good impression and brings a good
price, because it is of uniform grade
and quality. A flock of sheep pro
ducing such a uniformity in fleece is
valuable because they are uniform,
even lot of animals and can be depend
ed upon to produce their characteris-
tics in their offspring.
There is money in raising sheep;
this is conceded by the sheep raisers
themselves. If there is money in rails
ing sheep under the careless methods
in use by many flock-owners who use
no judgment in the selection of their
breeding ewes and less in the pur-
chase of breeding rams, what is in the
business for the man who carefully
breeds for a type of sheep! This can
be answered by what those breeders
are doing who are breeding for Dur-
pose, who have made types of sheep
with big f1eeces of excellent quality
of wool and large mutton carcasses.
In no line of live stock breeding is
there a better opportunity for estab-
fishing profitable industry than in
building up a good flock of profitable
wool and mutton sheep. Such sheep
are in demand and will continue to be
in demand until the end of time.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
.ADMITTfDTO The NORMAL
A Decision at a Recent Meeting of the
Board of the Latter.

The following Information may be of
interest to high school graduates who
have any desire to prepare for teach
ing.
At a recent meeting of the board of
education Of the Tempe normal school
of Arizona it was decided to admit
graduates from a four years high
school course to the senior class Of the
normal school. provided the course of
study of the high school has been duly
approved by the territorial board of
education. and that the specific course
pursued by the student is such as can
be accredited on the normal course.
BY this arrangement. high school
graduates may complete the normal
course in one year, instead of two
years as heretofore. This arrange
ment does not imply that the course
of study is to be changed in any re
spect, but such students will be al
lowed to carry more work than the
course prescribes.
This change has been made in order
that the high school graduates may
receive uniform consideration and be
granted the same privileges in regard
to time required for graduating from
both territorial normal schools.
Students desiring to take advantage
of this arrangement should forward
application accompanied by recon-
mendation Of city superintendent or
principal of high school and, if pos
sible, copy Of the course of study
pursued. to A. J. Matthews. Principal
of the Normal School. Tempe, Arizona
