cHy ELMER HENDERSON,

CBy ELMER HENDERSON,
OF recent years there has been a
great deal OF agitation over whether
the large type or medium type animal
Is the most profitable The owners
of the large type animals have taken
It for granted that their animals are
as profitable as the medium type per
unit of grain consumed, and arguing
therefrom that, as their animals we're
larger and carried more grain to mar
kst, they must be the more profitable.
Such IL not necessarily the case.
Let us look at the case from the
beginning, as It we're. Suppose we
take the Shropshire as typical of the
medium type Of sheep, and the Ok
ford Hampshire as exemplifying the
larger type. We find by experience on
our own farm that while seven or
eight Shropshires can be kept on an
acre Of land FIVE Is all we could pos
sibly figure on keeping II OxfordS or
Hampshires we're kept Upon this
basis, where man had pasture enough
to keep 40 Shropshires he could keep
only 100 Oxfords, Hampshires or Cots
wolds.
The difference in grain eaten Is also
something immense. While we are
feeding our Shropshire ewes only two
thirds pound Of oats daily our Ok
fords get as much as ~ pounds daily
ALMOST twice the amount.
Tho advocates of the larger type of
sheep admit this to be true, but they
say. Our sheep will weigh 80 pounds
at the age yours will weigh rs pounds"
Let US grant this for the time being.
There is yet another consideration.
While your 100 ewes OF the large type
are doing we'll II they raise 100 lambs,
1R IL common and ~ lambs per
eve is not unusual in well.handled
Shropshire flocks. One and one.half
lambs per eve may be taken as a
fair average. Our 14O Shropshire ewes
would have produced for us 210 lambs
against the 100 lambs of the larger
type sheep.
Then, too. our Shropshire ewes are
such superior mixers and the lambs
such perfect mutton animals that
when they go to market there is no
comparison between the condition OF
the two lots of lambs. While the one
lot ID big and rough and not fat
enough, the Shropshires, by virtue of
their easy fieshing quality, will be
smooth and sleek and will sell for

In support Of my contention as to
the relative price of the lambs quote
the Breeders Gazette Of December a.

Upon this basis we have:

A difference Of. .s51l.97
In favor Of the medium type Of sheep
purchased at exactly the same cost
as the large sheep.
Suppose the Shropshires produce
only one lamb per eve, as with the
large type; we would still have bal.
ance In favor Of the Shropshires due
to the lower cost of maintenance as
follows:
40 Shropshires "a 75 pounds
each, 10000 pounds q s6.25. .s656.25
100 large type a. 80 pounds
each, 5000 pounds q s5.25.. 4725O
A balance Of ...........s ls3.75
1t is only when facts are looked
upon In their actual light that we are
able to judge Of the real comparative
merits Of the breeds of sheep.
Mere opinions count for nothing
Facts are what count. based upon the
actual weights OF animals and the
amount of feed used. 1t is when we
look upon these facts in their real
light that we come to understand
why 1t is that there are more sheep
carrying Shropshire blood In the
country than of all other breeds com
bined.
The following charming and fitting
compliment was paid the breed by Mr..
Pierce of Shrewsbury, England: Its
farmers sheep, rert-paying sheep,
a tenants sheep. It's money-makins
sheep, a wool.producing muttoncar'
rying sheep. It's a bank-a save-all
frugal-living and quick-fattening
! hardy sheep"

make It unlawful for any candidate or

House to pay for food, clothing, liq-

pose of influencing voter. Every
voter accepting such gifts would be
guilty of corrupt act and his vote

HOW TO SIGN THE ROLLS

In view of the question that has
been raised. we would respectfully
suggest that Chairman Dean Pearnan
call members Of the county executive
committe together. gay not later than
the middle OF this week. and decide
definitely what will be considered In
this county as a "full name" on the
enrolment books. We understand
that last week in Laurens county, Sam
]. Nichols, candidate for congress,
sprung this matter, and 1t has caused
some confusion.
The statement Of Chairman Pearman
eRa Secretary Rice in this issue of The
.Intelligencer Is clear enough, we
'thtnk,-b but as this Is very important
matter and as many rolls in this coun-
~ 4fecfedrly full now. we suggest that
a meeting Of the executive committee
be called and the form of signing the
shamse finally determined. Take
for instance the president of the Uni
ted States. II he were called to sign
his full name" would he affix 1t
Thomas Woodrow Wilson" by which
lie was baptized. or merely Woodrow
Wilson" as he is known today? III
he should sign the roll Tommy" Will

childhood he would have some trouble
to vote. We think that rule is meant
