TELLS ABOUT MERINo SHEEP
Writer Accounts for Thick Folds In
Fleece, Not to Be Found in Other
Popular Breeds.

Just about every so often 1 get to
feeling sheepish, as it were, and have
to write something to show my famiI-
iarity with those animals, says Strick-
land Gillian In Farm Life.
The other day / saw my wife cook
ing leg of lamb. Now and then she
would open the door of the oven and
flip some water over the meat.
Thus 1 learned how, when we start
to roast somebody, we may be said to
be giving him lamb-basting.
You have often heard OF sheepfolds.
haven't you? Well, if you want to see
a sheepfold look at any merino sheep,
which accounts for the way the folds
show on them.
When merino sheep were made, hide
was cheaper than mutton and wool
was drug on the market SO a wee
bit of sheep was wrapped in several
sheepskins, necessitating lot Of over
laps. 1t seems easier to shir a sheep
than to shear one.
There is an old rhyme which speaks
Of the folded flock" Those must
have been merinos. It is some nifty
stunt to de-wool a merino and leave
on more of the hide than of the wool.
1t is the only accordion plated sheep
in the solar system. If merinos had
been washed In green perslmmon juice
all their lives they couldn't have been
puckereder.
Evidently their mammals didn't use
(that kind off soap.
The Southdown, Oxforddown, Shrop-
shire-down, etc. are sheep with clean
dresses and dirty hands and faces.
The only sheep that wear bustIes
are the fat rumped sheep now being
raised at the state college at Brook
ings, S. d. They carry a trailer,
something like locomotive, only there
isn't tender behind, except for eating
purposes. ~rr,

Where Cyclones Ordinate

The most violent cyclones originate
In tropical latitudes, in the Atlantic
ocean to the north and east of West
Indian islands, and in the Pacific, in
the China sea and In the neighborhood
Of the Philippine islands.
The reason they are so destructive
Is because they are carried such great
distances by extraneous Influences. The
West Indian cyclones are attracted
toward the Gulf stream by the great
volume Of heated air which ALWAYS
hangs over 1t and follows its course:
80 the cyclones Of the Pacific follow
the course of Kuro Siwo, the great
oceanic current which passes around

OF China and the Japanese islands.
