GOOD ONES
FOR MUTTON
souTHDoWN SHEEP SPOKEN OF
BY DIRECTOR OF EXPERIMENT
STATION cLoWiNoLY.
In Show Ring for Fat Sheep When
Various Breeds and Crosses Come
Into Competition, Noted English
bread IWon 1 Many Prizes a.
Any other-A Very Popular Breed
]. D. Iowar.

In Ranchman's Reminder for July.
OF all the breeds of mutton sheep this
one stands prominent SO far as true
mutton form is concerned. In the show
ring for fat sheep, when the various
breeds and their grades and crosses
come into competition, the Southdown
has probably won as many prizes as
all other breeds combined. This state
ment may seem a rather broad one, but
there is no denying that the Southdown
has been used in England more than
any other breed to improve the mutton
form and maturing qualities of several
other of the noted breeds of English
sheep, but particularly among those of
the medium wool" types. 1t might be
said here, that combined with this ex-
oeIlence of form they produce a carcass
~unexcelled for favor and high percent
age of marketable meat.
Their Objectionable points may be
summed up by saying that they are ap-
parently small in size. which is due to
a short fleece of wool and great COM
pactness of body. Their lack of size is
really only apparent, particularly when
measured by the amount of feed neces-
sary to produce a lamb or wether fit for
market.
In general appearance they are low,
broad. straight in top and bottom lines,
very short in the neck, and have a par
ticuIarly good leg of mutton. Light
brown or mouse color on the face and
legs. The legs are generally bare of
wool below the knees and hooks, and
the head covered only down as far as
the eyes. Owing to the shortness of the
neck, they are not quite as stylish in
appearance as some of the other dark
faced breeds, but their erect ears, bright
| eyes, and alert movement remedies this
defect to a great extent. Their great
docility has much to do with their ex-
F%rellent feeding qualities.
Their native place is southeastern
England, in the County of Sussex. In
This locality there is a low range OF
fchalky hills known as the South Downs.
FThese hills are covered with a short,
Eclose, very nutritious heritage, which no
doubt has had much to do with the
fexcellence of this breed as a mutton
sheep.
This breed will never be very popular
Fin regions where wool production is Of
first importance. but for improving the
mutton form and feeding qualities of
Iiasnbs from long-Iegged, long, coarse
wooded grade ewes they may be of CON
siderable benefit.

spring and summer fashions the skirt
with the tunic drapery will occupy a
prominent place.
"As long ago as last August. at the
openings of the big couturieres in Paris.
the tunic skirt was shown. At the same
time that Paquin displayed his tight

forward many models with tunic drap-
cries, and many more trimmed TO simu-

The BibIe-The Best Seller

What is the best selling book in

nations Capital, the book whose pop

IS one of the oldest works Of litera-
ture in the world-the Bible.
Some OF the popular novels may
have record sales but their most
boasted figures pale before the enor-
nous records Of even a days Bible
sales.
Between 100000 and $1,000. 900
Bibles are sold in the world every
year. and these are printed in 1000
different editions and in $50 Ian
guages. The only works that can
even be classed as rivals are Shakes
peare's plays. which keep up a large,
steady sale from year to year with
out, however. the increase noted in
the demand for the Bible.
at is almost impossible to give any
exact statistics Of the sale Of
Shakespeare's works" said the man
ager of one Of Washington's large book
stores. ANY company can publish
them. and 10 find out how many
are sold in \ year IL would be neces-
sary to add the sales OF publishing
houses all over the world. A book
store Of any size rarely sells below
500 copies Of Shakespeare in one
year and rough estimate. judging By
our experience and the experience of
nf hn
ferent parts of the world would be
about 1900 900"
This proves that even Shakespeare
does not run a close second to the
Bible in popularity. To every copy
Of Shakespeare's plays. five copies of
the Bible are sold, and IL the really
phenomenal Increase of Bible Gales
keeps up this figure will be doubled in
q few wears.
It is difficult TO determine the best
seller next in line TO Shakespeare, as

large sales. The dictionary has a de-
mand as solid and sure as its con-
tents. Louis Alcotts stories for young
people, especially Little Women" and
books like the Oliver Optic series.
Robinson Crusoe" and "Gulliver' g
Travels" are constantly called for

tions of these works, dear TO the
hearts Of children, are steadily in
creasing their sales.
There are three leading societies in
America and Great Britain that are
exclusively engaged in translating,
publishing. and disposing of Bibles.
The oldest Of these is the British and
Foreign Bible Society. next is the
American Bible Society. and third is
the National Bible Society OF Scotland.
Taking the yearly sales OF these three,
together with those OF smaller
organizations of the same character,
ard adding to these the records of work
done In the same field by the Roman
Catholic church, it makes a monthly
sale of Bibles that greatly exceeds
