a NEW BREED OF SHEEP.

The plains of the Dakotas. Mon
tana and Northern Minnesota afford
excellent sheep range except for the
fact that deep SHOWS bury the grass
over allarge part Of the range during
three Or four months of 1.-The year.
The problem Of the sheep industry in
those states is to find "a breed Toi
sheep that can go for long periods
without food, and stand a great deal
of exposure.
This problem the South Dakota
Agricultural Experiment Station is
endeavoring to solve by producing a
new kind Of sheep that will be adapt
ed to northwest conditions. The ex-
perimenters have secured specimens
of large, hardy sheep that lives up
on the Siberian steppes. and Is
known as the fat-runnp sheep. be-
cause of the heavy accumulation OF
fat around the hind quarters that en-
ables the animal to live without food
for considerable periods. like hi
bernating bear.
This hardy northern variety has
been crossed with the Rambouille
strain of the Spanish Merino breed
a kind which is famous for its wool
producing qualities. The product oil
this cross promises to be an animal
which will combine the hardihood Of
the Siberian strain with the 'ex
cellent qualities of the thoroughbred
Merinc, making an ideal sheep FOL
our northwestern ranges.
