Good Demand Always Exists for Meat
and That Breed That Will Bring

Produce-Start of Flock.
CBy G. II.


The introduction of sheep into
North America was made the same
year the Oldest town in the cotton
growing state was founded. The Span
iards brought from Spain a small
flock Of Merinos and turned them
loose in Florida, and to this day, way
down in the piney-woods, along the
gulf coast, the man who knows sheep
can find now and then certain indi-
vtduals resembling the early importa-
ton brought here, that they might af-
ford food to the gold-hunting adven-
turers.
By 1910 the little flock brought over
in 1865 had grown to 10, 800, 900; ten
years later the number was increased
by more than 5000, 900. In 1860 there
were 22,50O,0 600. In 1870 a marked in
crease was noted, Uncle Sans flock
in that year numbering 40,853, 900
head; in 1880 there we're more than
100, 900 less than in 1870, but in 1890
there were nearly $4,000 OO. In 1900
another drop was noted, there being
nearly 5000, 900 less than 1890, but in
1907 the flock aggregated 53,240,282
head.
In the cotton growing states one
eighteenth Of this grand total can be
found, i. e., 1885, 03 head distributed
as follows:
Georgia has 100000; Alabama, $780,
1923; North Carolina, 22S,965; South
Carolina, 6O,O34; Florida, los, 1874;
Louisiana, 1912; Tennessee, 344,-
e54; Mississippi, 183, $3.50; Oklahoma,
80,362; Arkansas, 295,740, and the
Lone Star state, 1865, 96S.
The wool industry Of the world
amounts to $500, 0OO, 900, a consider
able portion Of this annual clip being
produced in South America, in which
country there are 143, 1878 ,234 sheep,
leading all countries in this industry
by vast figures indeed. North America,
the United States and Canada have
6O,211,864 head; Russia, 5 8,889, 454;
the United Kingdom, 29,210,0 85, and
Austria, 1~3,974,428 head.
Our expectation of mutton is but a
small item, but the demand for the
beyond their present to furnish NUT
ton In ample and regular order. The
price prevailing for mutton in all the
markets is much greater than asked
for beef Or pork. Indeed, the price for
good mutton is such that in a general
way only the better classes of people
can afford it.
The international trade in wool, raw
and manufactured, aggregates goodly
sums, reaching something like one
and three-quarter billion pounds Of
raw wool as exports, n a million
pounds more as imports in a single
year. To the farmer and planter this

liable to prove unsatisfactory unless
investment is made in suitable shell
tiers and fences. In some of the tests
of this variety In northern localities,
the long months of deep snow and
consequent confinement have seriously
affected the vigor and health of the

There are disciples without number
who feel they are called to preach the
gospel of good roads. They know lit
tie or nothing Of the subject, but the
desire is strong and impelling. It re-
minds one of the young divinity stu
dent with very little aptitude for the
profession he proposed to adopt and
from which the bishop was trying to
isuad him because he regarded him
as wholly inapt. The man maintained
he was called to preach and therefore
he was to obey the m The
bishop asked him in what manner the
call had come. He said he had Aad a

many OF them doing more harm than
good.
One enthusiast, who has been much
in evidence, is telling the people how
they can get good roads without
money. He might as we'll try to boost
himself over a fence by pulling at his
bOot straps.
The good roads question is a ire
mendously big one and must be han
died in a big way. No one can mas
ter the subject in q short time. The
writer has spent Is years digging into
it from every angle and he feels that
there is yet much to learn. Some good
roads enthusiasts have proposed the
building of great national highways
connecting all the capitals of the
states, or a great trans-continental
roadway from Boston to San Francis
co, or from Chicago to the gulf. Such
roads would be tremendously expen-
sive, and about the only thing tina
they could be used for would be as
speedways for automobiles. These are
no the roads that the public needs.
In the building OF highways there
are two great questions involved. One
Is the economic advantages to be
gained from the transportation view
point, ana this can good roads from
khe farm home to the market town.
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1911-07-14

highways, if it is done by the state
aid plan.
Those who are Directing to the
building of good roads advance OBJ
jections hat are found to be falla-
cious, upon a little consideration. The
writer remembers one man who inter
rupted him during an address, and re-
marked hat in some parts of the
country they were building hard roads
at q S Of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
mile, and then said that their town
ship had about 70 miles of highways
and proceeded to show that the ex-
pense would pc at $4,000 a mile to
cover all the highways with this type
of road. Upon a little inquiry it was
disclosed that the roads in question
were brick roads, built upon a con-
crete foundation-an excellent road to
be sure, and such as it may pay to
build where the ratio is very heavy
and there is a large amount Of tax
able property to pay the hill-but
these are not the roads that 1t is usual
ly practicable to build. No township
needs anything like 70 miles. The
facts are that four-ifths Of the traffic
passes over about one-fourth of the
road mileage, and 1t has been found
the country over, at home and abroad,
that when from one-fourth to one-tnird

over wnIch the 1000 supply OF the
world must be moved. b other
question Is one of the social and edu-
cational advantages that follow good
road construction.
Fortunately It is true that the same
highways that would give the largest
returns from an economic standpoint,
are the roads best suited to give the
highest advancement. Hence the need
is not these great, broad, expensive
highways, extending hundreds Of miles
in any given direction, but a network
Of good roads, nine to twelve feet
wide, covering the main highways OF
the country and centering in the mar
ket towns upon the railways. The
wagon roads are the veins OF COM
merce: the railways the arteries. The
largest public good will come from
such q condition that there will be a
free and uninterrupted movement
upon both the highways and railways
throughout the year.
Among the economic advantages is
thai it enables the farmer to keep in
close touch with the market and
make his deliveries when in his judg-
ment the best price can be realized.
There is no doubt that a large per
centage-the major portion-of the
farm produce for the last so years in
the Mississippi valley has been sold
and moved with road conditions as
the determining factor. It is, "Hooray,
boys, we must get this grain to mar
ket because the roads are good" and
not necessarily because the price is

fact can be depended upon, the rW
turns from a flock of sheep are abso-
fute and positive. Sheep are easily
and cheaply kept, n respond to good
care n the introducing OF improved
blood with a ~buoyancy at all times
pleasing to the hockmaster. Indeed,
b sire is of great Importance, per-
haps more SO than in improving any
other form of live stock, and should
be selected with the greatest care.
Then the resultant issue, when mated
with common ewes, will be strong;
will produce a good clip and lay on
meat in abundance in places which
furnish the highest price cuts.
The sire must have q good back.
well sprung ribs, and an ample girth,
showing good heart; his head should
be masculine n the neck short and
denote great strength: legs short, set
we'll at the corners, and in blood
lines he must be pure, tracking back
to an ancestry Of undoubted worth. In
the south the aim should be to breed
for usefulness, not for fancy points.
From a paper we cite the profits made
from a small fock This account says:
The account of the profits made
from a lock OF sheep on a little farm
in New Zealand may be of interest to
flock owners in this country. From a
flock of 203 half-bred ewes, 268 lambs
were produced last year. The lambs
were by English Leicester and Down
rams. The whole OF the lambs were
reared and sold at an average of 4.02
per head. The wool came to $407.O6,
and the returns from the 203 ewes
was thus about $7.35 per head. This
Is Just another proof that a flock OF
sheep will pay on the farm.
Those starting a new flock of sheep
or about to improve the flock now run
ming in the pasture, should, If the best
results are to be obtained, be students,
thus knowing the why's" and the
"wh%erefores" of the moves made.
Choosing a new breed or selecting a
sire because Of certain blood lines Is
not sufficient. 1t must be borne In
mind at all times that pedigreed stock
sometimes present Woeful imperfec-
tons. The form, conformation Of the
animal, must be thoroughly well con-
sidered and must meet the require
ments Of the stock raiser.
In discussing sheep in the south,
and from a farmers standpoint, 1t is
best to pay strict attention to the
mutton end of the industry, Of course,
not overlooking the wool clip, but the
great primary object Is to produce
meat, for which a good demand al
ways exists. Money is the great OBJ
ject and that type which will bring to
the owner the most ready cash Is the
best type, the best breed to produce.
Men of means and devoted to the
upbuilding of individual breeds have
demonstrated the best in their espe-
cial type of sheep; therefore, the man
in the cotton belt is fortunate in be-
ing able to take advantage of the
work, experimentation and result OF
fancier and advanced breeders and
make his selection of foundation stock
or sire to head his present flock, with
the full knowledge that the result
will be along certain we'll defined
lines and with proper care and feed
there will be no disappointment.
The type to be aimed at should be
the one that will make the producer
the most money.
