HALTER PULLING COLT.

Loin Tie Recommended as a Cure For
This Bad Habit.
Halter pulling is d very aggravating
habit. easily acquired and often prac-
tically impossible to overcome, saws
NJ. w. Harper. New York Agricultural
college. In the American Agriculturist
Many bitches have been suggested,
Of which the loin tie is as efficient as
any. This can be made from a half
inch rope about fifteen feet long. Tie a
stationary loop in one end and place
about the horses body just in front of
the hips with the loop under the abdo-
men Now run the free end through
the loop. then forward between the
front legs, up through the ring at the
halter. then around a post and back
and tie into the ring at the halter.
With this device. as the horse pulls
pressure is brought about the body,
which usually causes him to bound for.
ward and stand close to the post. In
case of the confirmed halter puller
some horsemen excite the animal to
pull on this device. thus causing pain
about the body. in the hope that the
horse will remember the pain and not
try again. 1t frequently happens that
the halter pullers give little trouble
when tied with IL weight.

RED POLLED COWS
AS MILK PRODUCERS

One Of the most interesting contests
ever conducted in any country between
breeds is now going on at the Jean
Duluth stock farm, which is located
about nine miles westward from Du.
luth. writes Professor Thomas Shaw
In the National Stocknan.
The average results obtained in milk
and butter fat from the two breeds
for the years 1908. 1911 and 1912. in
which the records are complete, show
that the Guernsey cows gave 1l4.1
pounds more milk per COW than the
Red Polls and produced 43.1 pounds
more butter fat per cow The Red
Polled heifers produced All pounds
more milk than the Guernsey heifers.
but the latter produced ON the aver.
age 27.7 more pounds of butter fat.
One item in the comparison is lack
ing-that Is, the beef production. The
demand for the Red Polled males has
been such that none OF them have
been grown for beef. But 1t is not

necessary here to discuss the superi
GRITTY Of Red Polled cattle over Guern
seys for producing meat. Our evidence
supporting this fact Is found in the
presence from year to year of Red
Polls at the Smithfield Cattle club
show in England and the international
fat stock show in Chicago.
When 1t is remembered that q large
part of the Red Polled herd were all
bred upon the farm it must be con
coded that the results are very credit
able to the breed and to the owners of
the same. In the advanced registry for
the breed twenty-four milk records
came from this herd in 1913. 1t has
now to its credit twenty official rec.
ords that average 1896 pounds of butter
fat. In the herd is the COW Pear. This
COW completed her last yearly record
Dec. q, 1913. She gave 1906
pounds Of milk. which gave 603.S
pounds of fat. the equivalent Of 724.5
pounds Of butter. This record makes
her the champion producer of the
breed. In four consecutive years she
has produced 1.S07.6 pounds of butter
fat. record that has not been equaled
by any cow Of any breed in Minnesota.
and Minnesota is looked upon as
leading dairy state. In this herd Is
also Jean Duluth Beauty 31725, which
as a heifer. gave 10.0198 pounds of
milk and 1925 pounds Of butter fat
This gives her first Mace I'm the
worlds records for Red Polfed heifers.
She was bred on the farm. Mr.. George
P. Grout, the manager. states that ten
cows from this herd In the 1918 ad-
vanced registry have 1902 pounds Of
butter fat to their credit,

In selecting ram Of any mutton
breeds, you naturally look for we'll
built body. More important than this
is the vigor. The ram should have
bright eye. a fearless expression and
masculine appearance throughout
His body should be blocky, because it
is the blocky body that produces the
most meat. In fact. he should be near
est the ideal type Of mutton sheep it
is possible to secure, with the addition
Of unusual vigor and constitution.
A ram with narrow heart girth
should not be used In a flock under
any conditions. Narrowness just back
of the fore legs indicates lack Of con-
stitution. which is almost sure to have
a downward tendency In the flock.
Just remember that In the same way a
good ram can bring up flock. poor
ram will pull down the standard just
as rapidly.

GOOD BLOOD TELLS,
Experience of a Sheep Breeder With a
Pure Bred Ram.

Most every agricultural lecturer on
live stock topics tells the farmers who
hear him that the male is half the
flock. says the Iowa Homestead. A
German sheep breeder tested out this
statement few years ago and proved
that with sheep at least the ram may
be the making of the flock.
The shepherd purchased four ewes
from a Wyoming range. At the time
OF the purchase 1t was almost impos-
sible to determine the breed of the
sheep because they were so scrubby
and so much run down. Nothing was
known to their parentage. but it was
very apparent from their appearance
that they were the scrubbiest Of the
Scrubby.
He mated these four ewes with a
ram of very high character. He was
unusually vigorous, pure bred and
with breeding of the very highest quail
ity. The first crop of lambs told the
story. Seven We're born to the four
ewes, and all of them resembled the
ram. OF course, they were not pure
breds and were not perfect In all re-
spects. but they were so far in ad-
vance of their mothers that you would
scarcely recognize any relationship.
Not only were these lambs of high
quality, according to the judgment of
the shepherd. but they proved to be
