STARTING A
BREEDING FLOCK
Selection Of Ram
Important Suggestions
ByA.M. PATERSON, Agricultural College
Manhattan, Kansas.

II is just as true with sheep as with
one is to be successful in breed
ing he must have the ideal type in
mind and breed toward that type
through selection of the breeding
stock. When buying this breeding
stock, select only the kind which
comes the nearest to reaching your
ideal.
Selection of Ram: Whether pure
bred or grade flock is to be main
tanned a purebred ram should be
placed at the head of the flock. The
ram should be as nearly perfect in
conformation as possible, at the same
time having a good fleece, and the
markings of the breed in which he
belongs. Care should be taken not
TO select a ram that is excessive in
size. A large coarse ram will not
breed as uniform lot of lambs nor
will they be as cOmpactly and smooth
ly built, which is essential in lambs
that are raised for market.
The flock ram should have a short,
broad, clean cut head with a clear
prominent eye. The head as whole
should show decided masculine ap-
pearance, which is a good Indication
of strong productive powers. The
neck should be of medium length and
fitting neatly on to the head and
chnt,ldnyc Tho chnt11I hox n
strong vigorous constitution. This is
indicated largely by the spring of ribs.
the width and depth of chest. The
shoulders should be smooth, compact,
and well covered with natural flesh.
The ram should be short coupled,
having wide, thick Join with thick
covering of meat along the back. A
long smooth rump is desirable as
sheep that carries a large per cent
Of meat in the hind quarters is pre-
ferable from the butchers standpoint.
The leg of mutton should be wide,
full and carried we'll down towards
the hooks.
The ram should stand squarely on
his feet and legs with strong feet and
pasturns. The bone should show
plenty of size for the individual, at
the same time being clean cut and
showing quality
The fleece is an important item in
selecting a ram. II should be dense,
fine and strong, showing plenty Of
Grimm and lustro
In the selection of a ram, the breed
type should not be overlooked. Be-
fore purchasing purebred ram, learn
all that is possible about the char
acter of the breed you have chosen,
and then select ram that shows
breed type and character.
The ewes should also be taken into
consideration. If the ewes are small
and fine, it would be well to select
a ram of opposite quality. If ewes
are large and coarse, select smaller,
more compact ram. Always keep in
mind that the ram is half of the flock
like begets like-and, therefore, too
much care cannot be given to the Sc
lection of the breeding ram which is
going. to head the flock.

Yhe Arabs Cloak.

The cloak the Arab wears is cut
square. 1t is his universal and in.
separable covering. 1t is his coat by
day and his blanket by night. 1t was
this cloak that in Old Testament times
had to be returned at night-fall if it
had been taken in pledge during the
day. Otherwise the Semitic would have
had no covering when he slept. These
abas, as they are called, are becoming
popular in England.
