all he thought when he took n Of
them to the international live stock ex-
position the following winter. In a
class containing thirty-eight lambs Of
various breeding one Of these took
second prize.
In selecting a ram Of any mutton
breeds. you naturally look for a we'll
built body. More important than this
is the vigor. The ram should have
a bright eye. a fearless expression anc
a 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 a narrow heart girth
should not be used In flock under
any conditions. Narrowness Just back
Of the fore legs Indicates lack Of con-
stitution. which il almost sure to have
Ia downward tendency in the flock.
Just remember that in the, same way q
good ram can bring up q 6ock. q poor
ram will pull downht the standard just
@ rapidly.

HALTER PULLING COLT.
Loin Tie Recommended AZ q Cure Fo|
This Bad Habit.

Loin Tie Recommended as a Cure For
This Bad Habit.
Halter pulling is a very aggravatine
habit, easily acquired and often prac.
tically impossible to overcome, says
M. W. Harper, New York Agricultural
college. in the American Agricultural.
Many bitches have been suggested.
Of which the loin tie is as efficient as
any. This can be made from a hall
inch rope about fifteen feet long. Tie 8
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 bach
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 pullel
some horsemen excite the animal tc
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 a weight.

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 a 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 it 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, a pure bred and
with breeding of the very highest quail
ity. The first crop Of lambs told the
story. Seven were 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
