A deck Of uniform lambs with regard
to quality. condition. form. markings
and weight will command more money
per pound on any market than a deck
Of lambs In which variation is pro
nOunced feature.
The well bred ram Is not only the
more profitable. but the scrub ram Is
luxury very few farmers can AFFORD.
When n pure bred ram Is purchased
the farmer pays for him. and that Is
the end OF 1t, but this IL not the case
with the farmer who buys scrub
ram. In this case he is continually
paying for him as long a. the ram Is
used. Lambs sired by a pure bred
ram OF good individuality will often
sell for a dollar more per head than
lambs sired by an inferior ram. There
fore the yearly cost OF the scrub ram
Is obtained by multiplying the num-
Der OF lambs sired by the difference In
value OF the two grades OF lambs.
This yearly cost multiplied by the
number OF years the ram is used, and
this product plus the original cost. gives
the total cost OF the scrub ram.
In selecting the ram for breeding
there are few fundamental consid-
erations that II Is well to always bear
In mind. First. masculinity should be
present to marked degree. The pos
session Of this quality Is indicated by
strong head and neck, broad nose.
a strong jaw, wide nostrils and withal
bold carriage. He should stand
squarely on his legs. which should be
straight, short and set well apart. The
back should be strong. straight. broad
and firm with thick broad loin. Ribs
should be well sprung and long. chest
capacious with a well developed bris-
ket. Top and under line should be
straight, and the general form low set
and compact. These points are all
essential. but should not be obtained
at the expense Of quality. as all the
quality that Is consistent with mascu-
Unity should be present.

MERGER OF CITY CLUB
AND COMMERCIAL CLUB A WISE MOVE

At full meeting of the "City Club"
last Tuesday night, it was voted unani-
mously. that the Commercial Club"
as body be invited to merge with the
City Club" and President, G. B.
Swinebroad was instructed to advise
President, j. E. Stormes, of the Com
mercial Club" of its action. The ques-
tion of merging the two clubs has been
under consideration for several weeks
in both bodies and it seems to meet
with the approval Of the entire mem
bership of each club. All agree that it
will undoubtedly strengthen both and
should in few weeks add several dozen
to its membership, bringing the total
up to near the one hundred mark.
Every member of the Commercial
Club" has approved Of the plan and
have signified their intention Of joining
the "City Club. A membership com
mittee will be named and every bust
ness man in the city will be asked for
his fellowship, by joining this club and
help boost Lancaster as it was never
boosted before. There is no reason in
the world why Lancaster can not sup
port live. progressive CITY Club" of
even more than a hundred members.
While the "City Club" was organized
mostly for social purposes. the adding

gressive standpoint for the city and
community. The club room is centrally

Moore, of Kentintown pike has the

the first Of this year, Clayton has. with
the assistance of these dogs, caught 70
opossums, 8 skunks, coons, beside
other varmints and an endless number
of rabbits. This breaks the record for

showing in the coon dog line. Clayton
