Now, is it possible for us to breed
a sheep of the butchers ideal type
and still retain the vigorous constitu-
ton necessary in a healthy breeding
animal?
l say no. Why? Because it Is
against the laws of nature. In our
f1ocks we must have head and neck,
brisket, shank and side meat in order
to get that strong constitution that is
necessary for the animal to possess
for the development of the more ex-
pensive cuts Of the butchers ideal.
In order to bring the breeder and
the consumer nearer one ideal it is
necessary for us as breeders, to see
that our mutton sheep come as near
the butchers ideal as is consistent,
without impairing the constitution of
our breeding f1ocks.
In order to obtain these results, we

Something From Nothing.

You know that peculiar air that

War and Football.

Yale's bowl, the fell cirque" or
stadium in which the great football
battle with Harvard will be played
this fall, will be the objective of %
trainloads from New York alone on
the day of the game. The whole
structure will seat $1,000 people, and
it is announced that every seat in
the bowl is a good seat"-that is, it
has an unobstructed view of the play
ing field. Despite Cleveland H. Dodge's
protest against holding these annual
mimic battles" during wartime, the
Yale Alumni Weekly says they should
go on. If the contest in Europe has
any direct reaction on American col
lege football it would seem to lie in
the direction Of eliminating the brutal
factors of the game.

AntI-Hops,

Reports of the hop harvest suffer-

petitioned parliament 10 put down
two anusancies, Newcastle Goals In
regard of their stencil, ETC., and hops
in regard they would spoil the taste
of drink and endanger the people" A
few decades later John Evelyn ap-
pealed to the king and all loyal land
owners to Danish the 'drogue hopps,"
which, he declared, spoiled good ale
and led to fomenting diseases, by
planting cider fruit and SO creating a
taste for more wholesome liquor. A
century ago Goblet also wrote angrily
of hops and hop growers, chiefly be-
cause of the destruction of young
trees for hop poles.-London Chron-

MEDIUM LITTER OF
PIGS IS BEST PLAN
Idea of Selecting Sow to Grow
Large Number Of Young Is
Not Good Practice.
(By A. ]. Lego

It is customary with hog ralsers
when selecting a brood SOW, to want
one with a large number of teats III
order to accommodate large litter OF
pigs. | had an inquiry from a custo-
mer some time ago for two SOW pigs
and he said that people told him that
a SOW should have IA teats.
There are few sows with so many
teats and really the very large litter
is not in my opinion the most pront-
able one anyway. A SOW with ordinary
care cannot properly nourish more
than or 10 pigs ana l am not sure
that but 6 or is better than 10.
have had sows with 10 and IL pigs
but there are always some runts that
do not grow fast. 1t takes just about
all that the sow can digest to keep the
pigs making satisfactory growth. The
sows with or pigs will keep them
growing rapidly and believe as many
pounds of pork as the large filters and
there is not such a strain on the sow's
system to provide food for the pigs.
have a SOW now with six pigs. She
is getting moderate feeding twice a
day and the pigs are growing rapidly
This SOW has raised and 8 pigs to
the litter heretofore, but she never
grew so uniformly nice pigs before
Taking everything into consideration
| believe that the medium sized litter
is more profitable than the very large
litter and that the idea of selecting
SOW to grow very large filters is a
mistake and wrong standard to meas
ure by when selecting brood sows.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAH

AS a rule, a sheep possessing these

A sheep that is unevenly covered
