SELECTION
OF THE RAM

Fashion and the Judgment Of our
best breeders decree that the low

heavier" than we thought, 1.-The little
big Sheep" is the one which will be
sought these days of neat, prime joints
Of mutton. We must look for breadth
of loin. full brisket. deep body. mascu-
line head and neck, strong legs, strong
full twist, deep flesh, thickness
through the heart and thick. level.
we'll let down tanks. strong constitu-
tion and all these good things clothed
in as fine, long and dense fleece as pos
sible. If coarseness is on either side
let it be the eve rather than the ram.
What we are looking for In our lambs
are 'chips Of the old block"
The novice when selecting ram Of
the Downs or other hornless breeds of
sheep should be very careful not to
select one with stubs-miniature horns
says a writer in Modern Sheep. AL
though rams having such defects are
almost invariably robust and mascu.
line In character and in many other
ways desirable as flock headers, still
stubs brand them as being Of inferior
breeding. Such animals are generally
unfavorably noticed by show yard
judges, and they should in every in
stance disqualified.
Hollow backs, slack backs or backs
with the fatal" drop behind the
shoulder are very serious defects in
rams, and care should always be taken
to avoid animals of this conformation.
as, like so many other deformities,
these are faults that both rams and
ewes almost invariably transmit to
their offspring. -.
Since the quality Of the lamb is
largely dominated by the quality Of
it's sire it is important that the best
ram possible head the flock. no matter
whether it be pure bred or grade
flock. Naturally there is such thing
as paying too much for ram. but
more often too little Is paid. OF course
it goes without saying that nothing
but pure bred rams should be used

changing rams is nothing more or less

an eye out for what you want before
you really need it. Select early before
the cream of the flock is gone, and
don't delay until the breeding season
comes around before you make your.
selections. Don't forget that there are
culls In the pure bred nock ass we'll as

rams are not by any means always
those that win the most show yard rib
bons, but rather those that sire the
best lambs. A ram with 4 pedigree
may be worthless sire. but the ram
without pedigree cannot be anything
else. Always buy your rams Of rep
utable breeders. even If their prices
seem little high. A gooo opportunity
offers itself of purchasing what you
need at the state fairs. where the
types advocated by the different breed
ers may be studied side by side.
Don't use mongrel ram on any ac>

use ram carrying the same defects In

The only way to correct weaknesses in

Don't allow few dollars to stand
between you and good ram. Don't
sacrifice a good flock header because
he is little on the aged side. Don't
cultivate the idea that you must use q
yearling every year. A well tried aged
ram is much better than an uncertain
young stock ram. The ram that gives
the best results is one Of active yet
thrifty temperament and one that has

WOMAN
MURDERED IN AN
ATROCIOUS WAY
(By Associated Press.) }

DES MONIES (Ia.), Clara Rosen,
the soloist of the Lutheran church
at Ottumwa, was murdered in an un-
usually atrocious manner last night.
Her badly mutilated body was found
today. A widespread search is be-
ing made for her slayer. Miss Rosen
was beautiful woman, 2S years old,
and was to have been married next
week to Sanford Carlson, an Ironton,
Wyoming, mine owner.
The police say this love affair was
the cause of her death. They say a
disappointed suitor murdered his
former sweetheart. Miss Rosen was
waylaid as she was returning home
from practice. Her assailant drag
ged her to lonely spot and crushed
her skull with sharp stone. Two
suspects were arrested, one of Oska-
loosa, giving the name of James Mar
tin, of st. Louis, and who said he
was teamster. When searched
blood was found on his clothing. He
admitted that he had just come from
ottumwa. At Abba a man giving
the name of William Travers was ar
rested on suspicion. The mayor of
Ottumwa offered a reward of 5000
and the citizens of the city made
S40O more Miss Rosen's dianond
brooch ana purse are missing. The
police say the slayer took these to
make it appear like a case of rob

ground that it would be unfair to
take that number from the three

the reorganization that had just been

On January 8 the war department
appealed to Governor Gillett to Or
ganize new companies, but it was not
until two weeks, later that the chief
executive and his adjutant decided to
act. The governor agreed with
Lauck that by securing the services
of business men and men of family,
who did not desire to leave the COM
munities in which they resided, in an
event of hostilities, such companies
might be organized with good result.
Following this policy an effort is be-
ing made to raise fourteen of the
companies in San Francisco and two

points on the California coast. Ac-
cording to Lauck there are available

AN OLD SCHEME
OF COAST DEFENSE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb 6.-Robert
Oliver, the assistant secretary of war,
said tonight that the war depart
ment's request of Governor Gillett to
organize sixteen militia companies of
coast artillery, was merely part of
the general scheme for national de-
fense. California, he said, was one
of the few states that has not a full
complement of militia, and the idea
was to organize twin militia COM
pany for every company of regulars
located at the artillery posts.
