SULPHUR For Sheep Lice.

Several years ago l had flock of
sheep that found to be badly infested
with both sheep lice and ticks. writes
A. ]. Legg in the Rural New Yorker.
There were twenty-five to thirty sheep
in the flock. and as was feeding them
ground feed l mixed heaping table
spoonful of sulphur with their feed for
few days. l did not feed the sulphur
every day for a long time, but fed ev-
cry day for several days. then skipped
a few days. then fed again. ! noticed
an improvement in my sheep In short
time. At clipping time could not find
either live tick or louise on the
sheep. One eve in particular that
noticed had many ticks on her when
began feeding the sulphur had good
many dead ticks in her wool at clip
ping time. but no live ones. ] was a
little fearful that the sulphur might
cause the ewes to lose their lambs. but
there were no losses from this source.

SOW or the giltY' William Dietrlch VI
the Illinois station, author OF S"ine
Breeding. says In Farm and fuesiue
l think, as q rule. an old or MIXTURE
SOW will produce larger litter than a
young SOW. Sometimes also al oid
SOW will have a better developeu W.
der and can raise a better inter VI
pigs than a young SOW. The lat.e''
however. is not always true. anu 'Ne
reverse frequently occurs.
In order to have a good old SOW sne
must be properly developed wheh sue
is young-that is. she must be proper!
fed and must raise sufficient mum
Der of pigs during the first one or TWO
periods of lactation. In other woros'
IL a SOW has only few pigs in 'ne
first one or two filters the chances are
that only the parts Of the udder usea
then will become developed and the
remainder will become dormant. SO mat
she will not be able to develop more
good pigs afterward than she faiSeu
during the first one or two filters.
l believe in the policy Of keeping all
good old sows as long as they are
good pr ducers. Even though Young
sows are carefully selected. there are
always a number of inferior ones III
the bunch. In fact. there are never
more than a few outstanding good
sows in any bunch Of gifts that may
be selected. and. furthermore, this can
not always be recognized until AFTER
having raised the first litter. Some
may not be able to produce large III
tiers, others may not breed at all, and
still others may not be able to give
sufficient milk. and SO on. Conse
quently a herd Of sows should be Sc
lected in the FIRST place before they
are bred so as to breed nothing but
the best ones. and these should be Sc
lected again after raising the first IT.
ter and all the good ones kept.
Again. sows should be selected at
weaving time and fed for breeding. II
they are fed along with the market
hogs till the latter go to market the
chances are that they will be injured
for future breeding purposes.
In regard to an old SOW being able
to get through the winter on less feed
that a young SOW. would say that a
young SOW naturally is growing and
needs sufficient feed to make this
growth besides being maintained.

Of America. As is well known, 1t is
exceedingly difficult to secure breed
ing stock from central Asia. as these
animals are religiously guarded. says
Orange Judd Farmer. He succeeded.
however. in bringing fifteen bucks to
America. and they are now on his
ranch In northwestern Texas. and will
be used In connection with the sheep
already in the country in producing
the high price furs for which there is
SO great demand.
DR.. Young Is convinced by his own
observation and by experiments In
this country, as well as In the old

best results can be secured by crossing
the Karakule bucks ON some of the
long wool breeds. particularly the

largely upon half breeds probably to

weight is just about the average Of
the draft bred horses now offered on

that farmers appreciation of size in

Taking the experience of farmers
who have produced and are working
still larger horses, there should be
reliable indication of the extent to
which size Is desira BILE on the farm.

There never has been time when
there was a greater opportunity for
the breeder of draft horses in this
country than now. Both farm and
city want draft horses. But men
are waking up to the fact that a
horse must have many other attri-
butes besides weight. The endur-
ing quality counts in dollars for the
breeder as well as in work. The
owner of pure bred mares must be
especially prudent In his selection
