WooLLY FACED SHEEP.

MuffIed Head Means Poor Mutton,
Says English Shepherd.
The following from the London Live
Stock Journal gives the views Of an
English shepherd on breeding for head
covering. The writer says:
1t appears US though increased atten-
ton was being paid to the question
whether certain points to which judges
of sheep are partial are Of sufficient
practical importance as to warrant the
value placed upon them.
For instance. Is the mumed head,
which many judges Of Shropshire sheep
seem to value SO highly. Of any prac-
teal value? Is it an indication Of an
increased cut of wool or Of wool Of i'm.
proved quality? Does a sheep possess
ing this muttled head produce when
slaughtered better carcass Of mutton
or one furnishing large proportion Of
lean meat? Is a mun1ed headed Shrop-
shire more prolific and q better suck
Ter? Does it grow and thrive better?
II it be not superior In the above re-
spects, In what other way 10 the NUT

lace Of the problem. Internally they
have set up in all the crosses since the
drst one war Of the breeds, conflict
of prepotencies, thus weakening the
heredity in straight line. Constant
outcrossing. as is we'll known among
breeders, will finally destroy the line
u descent. and all we get is hodge
podge Of traits and tendencies. with al
most universally decline in the milk
producing power.
One cross. say. with 4 Holstein bull
and mongrel cow brings heller with
50 per cent of each. If that heller Is
bred to pure bred Holstein the prog
eny is Is per cent Holstein. Breed that
progeny to a Holstein straight In line
and we have calf STU per cent Hol
stein. We have been steadily "elim-
mating the hybrid" But it should be
remembered that the producing capac-
tty Of each generation will depend
greatly on the dairy prepotency of the
sire in each case. Bred IN this way,
there is constant increase of Holstein
heredity in the resulting heifers of each
generation, all of which will be en-
HANGED and enriched if especial care Is
taken to select only first class bulls for
every generation.
The principles that govern are as old
as life itself. but they are very dimly
seen by too large a proportion Of the
farmers who DrOdllce fhe cattle of the
country.

Dancer of lnhreedino.

In buying breeding hogs, especially
herd boars that are to 90 in the pure
bred herd, great care should be taken
In the inspection Of the pedigree, says
the Kansas Farmer. There is just as
much danger to the future Of the herd
in too close breeding as there IS in hav-
ing too wide an outcross Some Of the
best breeds of hogs which we now
know have been produced and their
characteristics fixed by in and inbreed-
ing, but after these characters are
once fixed too close breeding is to be
avoided. lnbreeding is matter to be
handled only by experts. 1t is very
like redhot poker in that Il man may
get hold Of the wrong end Of it. While
1t is a powerful agent for the fixing Of
type and in the establishment Of new
breeds or Of families within the older
breeds, it is not to be handled careless
ly or jgnoranty.

am not asking these questions for
the purpose Of calling attention to; the
fact that serious doubts are being cast
on the value Of the fashionable Shrop-

to the alleged general complaint Of the

ers Of Southdown sheep of the great
danger that they are likely to fall into
unless the present tendency on the part
of some southdown judges of placing
undue favor on the plenitude of wool
on the face Of the Southdown is dis
continued.
It has been asserted by some Of our
most obseryant breeders of sheep that
large increase in the amount of wool
on the face of sheep almost certainly
indicates decrease Of lean meat In
the carcass Of the sheep. This view is
certainly supported by the decisions Of
the Judges of the carcasses of sheep at
the Smithfield and other shows, where
the major portion Of the prize money
Is awarded to the carcasses of sheep
which in life had moderately clean
faces.
1t is a point Of much Importance and
one which Is worthy of discussion by
some of our eminent f1ockmasters.

the absorption Of this toxin. Through
the extreme dilation of the udder the
blood supplying the mammary gland is
greatly diminished until the milk gland

, The Difference In Breeds.

There is no mystery surrounding the
feeding habit OF the dairy COW. 1t is
common knowledge that certain
amount Of feed is required to support
the animal body. The amount varies
with the individual COW. 1t ia known
that the feed consumed by the COW in
excess Of bodily support is converted
into milk, provided it is the nature OF
the COW to convert feed into milk II
this is, not the cows nature, then the
feed is converted into fat and increased
weight. No system of feeding win

her feed into milk 1t Is in this TINT

notes a great increase Of richness In
the milk Of the resulting heifers over
that of the dam. Then he wants

Then he wants the golden color in the

O'BRIEN SAVED
FAMILY FROM
SUFFOCATlON

Tampering with a gas-meter in the
cellar of 300 Bunne11 street last night
almost resulted in serious consequences
to the tenants of the large three-fam-
lily house at that address.
The smell Of escaping gas was first
noticed between 8 and 9 o'clock last
night by George O'Brien who lives
upon the top floor of the building. AS
he opened the door leading into the
hallway the smell was suffocating
but he managed to get to the floor be-
low where the occupants were sleeping.
After awakening them, and opening
the windows search for the leak
resulted in the finding of a disconnee-
ton at the quarter-meter in the cell
lar.
The matter was at once reported
to the Gas company who becoming sus-
picious of the affair reported it to the
police. 1t is the belief of officers
that it is another case of attempt
to rob meters, the pilferers becoming
scared when they found they had
broken the pipe.

ST. James Parish
Fair Opens tuesday
For Eight Nights

The annual fair and entertainment
for the benefit of the ST. James
Church building fund will open in
Red Mems hall, Stratford, next Tues
day evening, October 7th, and will
continue for eight nights, October Z,
8, 9, 10, IL, IA, 5 and 16. The pro-
ceeds of the fair will be added to the
fund which is being raised to pay for
the handsome new church which is
now in process of construction at the
corner of Main and Broad streets in
Stratford.
Every indication points to the an
nua1 fair this year being the most
successful ever held under the aus
pices of St. James church. The mem
leadership of Rev. M. J. O'Connor
have made extensive preparations for
the affair and it is expected that large
crowds Of Bridgeport people as well
as 1Stratford people will assist in max
ing the fair which starts next Tues
day evening the most successful en-
tertainment of its kind ever held in
Stratford.
The new church of ST. James par
ish is fast nearing completion and
there is now an urgent demand for
funds to finish the work on the, beau
tifuI edifice. Father O'Connor is de-
pending largely upon the coming fair
to pay off the first installment on the
debt incurred in the erection of the
new church and accordingly he has
urged all his parishioners4@9fd friends
to unite with him this year and assist
him by patronizing the annual far.
Dancing is to be held at the fair
every night, the Park City orchestra
furnishing the music and there is to
be an entertainment and refreshments
for all, attending. A large assortment
of handsome presents has been do
mated by the various merchants and
business men of Bridgeport and vicin-
ity and these will be disposed of at
the fair.

STAMFORD WRECK
VICTIMS BRINGING
SUIT AGAINST R. R.

To recover damages for the death
of his wife, who was killed in the
wreck at Stamford June 10, last, Ed
ward J. Kelly of Chicago, has brought
suit against the New Haven railroad
for $1,000. He has also brought an
action for $4,000 for injuries he sus-
tined by being thrown from the car
in which he was seated. Both actions
were filed today in the superior court.
Kelly is administrator on the estate
of his wife, whose name was Ada p.
Kelly. He says her left arm and left
leg were broken when the trains
crashed and that internal injuries
caused her death short time after
ward. A cameo chain, mesh bag.sev-
era1 gold rings and gold watch be-
longing to Mrs. Kelly were also lost.
In his own behalf Kelly claims his
chest, ribs and spine were hurt and

MAN WHO SHOT
AT POLICEMAN
BLAMES DRINK

Self defense and an unprovoked at
tack made upon him is intimtaed to-
day as the probable course of Carlo
DiLue of 319 Hamilton street, charged
with assault with intent to murder
Carmino Dineo of 100 Attic street last
night at East Main and Hamilton
street. He accused Dimeo of being
insanely Jealous and possessed of the
persistent idea that he had improper
relations with Mrs. Dimeo. In city
court this morning, a continuance was
granted until October Is under SO, 900
bonds.
Dimeo is at Bridgeport hospital suf
fering from bullet wound in his side.
1t is believed he will recover. DiLue
was captured about hour later
near the Congress street bridge by
Sergeant Edward wagner of the Sec
ond precinct station at the point of
his revolver. In the chase, DiLue
fired several times at Policemen John
Corrigan and P. B. Boland and escap-
ed in an alleyway.
Today DiLue said that Mr.. and Mrs
Dimeo met him on East Main street
last night and before he saw them
Dfmeo had grabbed him, torn his shirt
and started to put him across his
knee. He says that he was under
the influence Of liquor and remembers
nothing about the shooting.
