of the flock and its products to the
better feed and care. and 1t was
probably not more. we still have a
profit from the use of a pure-bred
ram which will enable us to pay a
good price for him. A good pure
bred ram may easily be worth from
$50 to 500 in any ordinary flock OF
80 to SO sheep. He can be purchas-
ed for one-half those figures, but no
one should expect to get good ram
for less.
Things to Observe in Buying n Ram.
In the purchase Of a pure-bred
ram, do not be satisfied with one
that is eligible TO registration; insist
on his being registered ram. Too
many OF the so-called pure-bred rams
that are not registered but are cligi-
BILE to registration are nothing more
than grades and are really not eligi-
BILE TO registration because they are
not, so far as any one knows. pure
bred. To obtain such a ram as Is
desired II will be necessary for most
of our readers TO buy on a mail or
der, and therefore we advise paying
good fair price TO well known and
reputable breeder.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1910-05-14

therefore, probably desirable that we
continue to raise the sheep for both
wool and mutton. Climatic condi-
tions may so affect the fleece as to
make it inadvisable to grow the spe-
cial heavy wool producing breeds and
our habits of scanty feeding will rem
der the larger special mutton types
less satisfactory. We shall conse-
quently probably find 1t more profit
able to produce wool, me-
dium-sized sheep. OF these we may
suggest the Shropshire, Dorset and
the Southdown; although this must
not be taken as indicating that many
other breeds, or in fact, any other
breed, may not be found profitable
and satisfactory II properly fed and
cared for.
What a Good Ram is Worth.
AS stated in our last article, Prof.
Lloyd, OF the Mississippi Experiment
Station, starting with common ewes
that only gave An average fleece OF
20 pounds was by the use OF a pure
bred ram and fairly liberal feeding
able to increase the average weight
OF fleece to pounds each, or an In
crease OF 70 per cent, in Ave years.
The actual increase in the weight OF
the fleece was 81 pounds per sheep.
In flock OF 40 sheep this amounts
to an fpcreaco ~ "a 11,ra. - -u,
which at 25 cents a pound, gives
total increase OF s21 In the value OF
the clip from the flock. The value
or the increase In the carcass was
probably not in less degree. II we
allow half this increase in the value

|" were 100000 sheep in the
E0I States of Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. The
total valuation of these sheep was
$1,555,000, or an average Of $2.05
per head. The average value per head
of the sheep in the United States on
this same date was $4.0S per head,
and in Iowa and Illinois, $3.50 per
head.
1t will be noted that the average
value of the sheep per head in the
whole country was nearly double
that in the States of Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. If
the sheep in these States had been
of a quality as good as the average
of the whole country, they would
have been worth s3,1O0,s00 instead
of $1,555, 900, as at present. gain
of $1,545,S00. Or if the quality of
our sheep had been as good as those
Of Iowa and Illinois. the gain in
value of our sheep, without increas-
ing the number at all, would have
VI -
our sheep would be worth 2 " times
the present value if they were of as
good quality as the sheep of Iowa
and Illinois.
The number of sheep raised in our
territory is small and steadily de-
creasing, but even though this be
true, we are losing large amount
each year because of the low quality
OF our sheep. The feed which the
small number of sheep we have con-
sumo, sells for over $2,000,0O0 less
than 1t would IL given to sheep OF
the quality Of those of Iowa and Illi-
nois. This gives an average loss of
over 100000 for each OF the four
States named. 1t will be well for
each individual sheep owner to keep
these figures in mind Why should
he keep sheep that will give him
only 81 for feed consumed when he
might have sheep that would pay
him 81 for an equal quantity of this
same feed?
now May we Improve the Quality
Of Our Sheep?
There are just two principal forces
which may be brought into operation
for the improvement of the sheep OF
the South. These are. ID better
care and feed and (2) better blood,
or breeding. This article must deal
only with the latter. as influenced by
the use of a purebred ram. In small
animals like sheep and poultry, the
value Of the products of the individ-
ual animal is small; hence special
purpose breeds are not so generally
desirable as with larger animals. A
small percentage OF increase in the
products OF a special-purpose dairy
COW over the average general-pur-
pose animal amounts to many times
the value Of the entire product of a
small animal like a sheep. 1t is.
