POINTS OF BREEDING SH EEP
In Selection of Stock Consider Quail.
ties the Market Demands for
Mutton and Wool.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture.)
While all breeds have the gel neral
form and characters of the type in
which thew are classed, all purebred
sheep possess certain distinguis hing
features which are inherent in the
breed and which receive the atteh tion
of breeders. These breed chara cters
NAV have little value in themselves,
vet thew are a mark of breeding and
give assurance that the animals will
breed true to type. Included in such
breed characteristics are such points
as size, color markings, presence OF
absence of horns, and popularity of
shape. These differences make lit es-
sential for the different breeds to have
different score cards or standards of
excellence which give consideration to
these points. If one is selecting pure
bred sheep for breeding purposes, he
must know the breed type as repre-
scented by the excellence for the breed.
Score cards for the leading breeds
may be obtained from the secretaries
of the breed associations listed in
Farmers Bulletin SIG, Breeds. of
Sheep for the Farm"
Whether one is breeding purebred
sheep or is engaged in grading up
common flock, in the selection of breed
ing stock he should consider the quail
ties the market demands for wool and
mutton. In addition to the application
of market and breed standards, stock
intended for breeding should be cOhsid-
cred from the point of view of pfepo-
tency in transmitting their good fea-
lures and prolificacy in reproduct ton.
These qualities are indicated by what
is known as sex character.
To be a long-lived, regular, and pre-
potent breeder, the eve must have a
strong constitution and show strong
maternal nature and present femi-
nine appearance. The eve sh ould
have finer features about the head and
a more slender neck than the ram.
She should have plenty OF room for

mented by the extra length of the skirt
which reaches almost to the instep.
Now is the time to dispose OF all
lingerie matters, simple or otherwise !;
for at this season of the year mer-,
chants make a concerted effort to
show and sell new undergarmentS and
the materials for making them. Pet
ticoats and camisoles and their next
of kin, princess slips, are the subjects
under discussion here.
Shadow lace proves the best of as
sets when the time comes to design
camisoles. It is wide enough to make
the body of the camisole and the point
ed or scalloped edge provides for
graceful shape. Camisoles are made
of it by adding a band of ribbon, or
wide beading to the straight edge for
the waistline, and banding the lace
with narrow ribbon stitched on. Where
the lace has large points, two Of them
at the front and two at the back form
"V"-shaped lines here and under the
arms, that are graceful. Ribbons, stitch
ed to these scallops or points are ex-
tended into shoulder straps.
In princess slips the bodice is often
cut in the shape described above and
finished with a narrow hem. Below the
hem valenciennes lace insertion is let
in. Narrow skirts set onto the bodice
with a narrow belt have a series Of
tucks edged with val lace running
about them. They are usually made Of

PORK ECONOMY

Clemson College, July 3.-An au-
thority said recently that he believed
that more good hogs had been intro
duced into South Carolina during the
past year than in any other Southern
State. If that is true, great deal
of attention must be given to pasture
building and to the growing of forage
age crops for hogs in this State, if
the farmers are to grow pork econom-
ically.
Mr.. V. w. Lewis, Extension Agent
in Animal Husbandry, has prepared
some suggestions to the farmer who
has one sow and wishes to produce
two litters Of pigs year. Summed
up, his suggestions are given below.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and its

feverishness and itching of the scalp
which if not remedied causes the hair
roots to shrink, loosen and die-then
the hair falls out fast. A little Dan
