cheviot Sheep Hardy.

Cheviot Sheep Hardy.
The Cheviot sheep is one of the most
hardy breeds of sheep known. No
middle wool breed in America is its
equal in this respect
The breed originated in Scotland. and
for over century it has been kept the
year round on the Cheviot hills, ex-
posed to the severity of winter, in
flocks of thousands, its only feed being
grass or hay and its only shelter the
starry heavens and the hllsides.
The ewes weigh from $50 TO 100
pounds commonly, and are heavy for
the size. Ewes. however. weigh occas-
ionally up to 200 pounds. The ideal
weight for ram is 225 pounds.
Cheviots belong to the middle wool
class. The staple is somewhat
longer and a tribe coarser than
Shropshire. but is just what brings the
highest price paid on the American
market Twenty five Cheviot breed
ers give average weights of fieeces in
their ilocks ranging from seven and
three quarters 10 eleven pounds for
fleece of ram. and six to nine pounds for
the eve. Rams 27a and 2073 a. C. S. A.
sheared thirteen and one-haf pounds
respectively. The eve Wild Rose ia
sheared fourteen pounds. The staple
averages about five inches long.
No breed has a brighter eye and
prouder carriage than the Cheviot. The
temperament is active. yet docile. and
the disposition of the best sort, vet
NOT sluggish The breed is more ac-
tive than most mutton sheep. being
good foragers. thus resembling Me-
rinos.
Figures from 22S ewes lambing in
one year show record of 353 lambs,
or about one and one half lamb per
eve. This Is about as large a number
as is desirable, when we taken the well
fare of both eve and lamb into ac-
count.
The ewes are excellent mixers and
give the lambs plenty of nourishment

them in this particular. ten reported

while others referred to them as

extra good etc Better testimony in
favor of the ewes as mothers could not
be asked.
This breed is SO hardy and so easily
kept that it is especially suited for the
range. The breed should do particu-
larly We'll on the western range. and on
the mountains in the southeastern
United States. 1t has no equal. A
large proportion Of the pure bred Chev-
lots are now being bought by people
in the southern states.
New York and Indiana lead in size
and number of focks. There are f1ocks
however, in numerous other states and
Canada. Cheviots have been bred in
Canada since about 1925 and IN the
United States since 1898
The Cheviot is one of the purest and
oldest breeds of sheep known. white in
color. with a smooth face and legs,
bright, full eyes and elegant carriage
They are among the most attractive
breeds OF sheep known.

they now grow. The land is cheap be-
cause the Ontario country is young.
In and about Ontario lands sell for
one-tifth the prices asked for exactly
similar lands in Hood River, Yakima
or Wenatchee, yet the producing pow
err is equally as good if not superior.
Hot Springs.
Hot springs are abundant in nearly
every part of Malheur County, and 1t
Las long since been proven that the
medicinal properties of the waters are
the equal of any OF the world-famous
hot springs which have been SO widely
advertised in various parts of the Uni
ted States and Europe. The great
feature of the Malheur County hot
springs is that the cost to the patient
who wishes to take advantage of the
numerous fountains of nature is not
prohibitive. Likewise, the cure for all
ailments is right at home, 80 to speak.
Every important hot spring in NAL
heur County is within easy distance
from Ontario, and this makes 1t very
convenient not alone for residents of
the town, but those who have business
dealings there.
Education and Religion.
The educational and religious adj
vantages of Ontario and Malheur
county are commended by all new res

and we'll they may be, for nowhere in
the Pacific Northwest are better
churches or schools maintained for the
sizes of communities. Ontario proper
is provided with an excellent public
school building. The church edif1ces

establishment of a creamery at On

Agriculture.
Alfalfa honey is a prize taker the
world over. Therefore, Ontario and the
fertile valley of which it is the center
make a natural home for the honey
bee. One of the secrets of the great
honey production is that large acre
age of alfalfa is allowed to go to SEED
Millions of the little purple blooms OF
the lucerne clover into which the bees
can work even easier than into the
white clover, are here. This affords
a product from bees that is pure and
absolutely white. Honey is destined
to become one of the largest articles
of export from Ontario because alfalfa
seed growing is a we'll established in
dustry
Here are some honey producing
statements worth mentioning for this
section:
w. H. Pennington, living nine miles
from Ontario, handles 800 to 500 stand
of bees, producing annually about 400
pounds extracted honey, selling for
$3.50 per 100 pounds.
w. H. McKibben leased five acres
and put on $50 stands of bees. Last
fall he sold $4,000 pounds of extracted
honey, receiving $500.
Grazing.

West and extreme East, upon reaching
Ontario and vicinity the impression is
at once conveyed that Ontario is a
splendid grazing country. 1t is that in

Soils.
The soils in and about Ontario are
of a virgin character, for the most part
being composed of disintegrated rock
and volcanic ash and other elements
at first hand of Nature, never having
been exhausted by the manifold pro-
cesses of vegetable life. The soils are
of a rich, sandy loan nature, and
much better and far more enduring
in all the varied elements required for
perfect crops than the soils OF any
of the Middle Western or Eastern
States.
The soils are unfailing in productiv-
ity and such things as crop failures are
unknown quantities in and about On

are best suited to the orchard.
Markets.

the shipping point for an Inland EN-

which will not permit of large
amount of stock being wintered on
the range. All stock so wintered
does we'll.
An abundance of green pasture, the
excellent forage, the mild winters, the
number of farms where blooded stock
Is raised, from which the stockman
can draw to improve the quality of his
nerd or flock; all these contribute to
make stock raising an unqualified sue
cess in the fertile valley of which On
tario is the center.
Dairying.
To fully realize what the COW will
accomplish for the Ontario dairyman
1t is first necessary to understand what
can be done for the COW. The cow is
very sensitive to conditions. and in
and about Ontario everything is exact
ly to her liking. AS a consequence
she shows her great appreciation by
giving an excellent flow of milk rich
IN butter fat. Mild winters, abundance
OF green feed, freedom from insect
pests and numerous other important
factors go to make for the success of
the fortunate dairyman in and about
Ontario.
In the vicinity of Ontario is the very
best dairy country in the Pacific
Northwest. Hay can be grown cheap,
and 1t is so productive that it makes
dairying very profitable. Ontario shin
ped in $1,000 worth of butter last year,
and the average price of butter fat
