SHEEP FLOCK OF
BIG IMPORTANCE
Attention Must BE Given Wool
and Mutton Qualities of
Animals.
INTEREST IN RAISING STOCK
Bulletin Issued by Agricultural De-
Partment Discusses Breeds Like
iy to Meet Requirements of
Various Localities.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture
Mutton and wool qualities both
must receive attention TO bring the
greatest returns from farm fiocks of
sheep. A system that ignores either
cannot be continuously successful.
So asserts a bulletin, Breeds of
Sheep for the Farm" issued by the
United States department of agficul-
ture following the manifestation that
recent market values for meat animals
have caused a renewal in interest in
the raising Of live stock on farms. The
bulletin aims to discuss sheep breeds
so as to inform those not familiar with
them which breeds are likely to meet
requirements.
In many cases, the bulletin points
out, mutton and wool will deserve
equal consideration. In others either
may be emphasized according TO pc
culiarlties in management, feeding and
marketing conditions. Sparse pastur-
age, expensive food and poor market
Ing arrangements will make wool the
first consideration, but If there Is
good market for lambs and if the feed

and care that can be given are such
as are needed, the bulletin points out
that the mutton qualities are the i'm
portant things to look for in the breed
ing stock.
Variations in wool values, says the
bulletin, largely explain the increases
and decreases In numbers of farm
sheep in the past fifty years. At pres
ent, it is stated, many former raisers
of commercial sheep who breed stock
for wool are giving more attention to
mutton than has been done in the
past, and most of the new fiocks be-
ing established are Of the mutton
breeds.
Community Breeding.
Tt Is not to be expected, the bulle-
tin points out, that all farmers in a
county will select the same breed of
sheep. 1t lists advantages, however,
that may be realized if a number of
farmers in community adopt COM
mon plan Of sheep raising and use
rams of the same type, at least, if not
of the same breed. If the lambs are
similar and ready to ship at the same
time q number of owners can Join to-
gether tc fill car or, If the number Of
lambs is large and the quality uniform,
they will sell themselves, as the buyers
will come for them. Another advantage
in community breeding is that new
rams can be purchased Jointly. Own
ers of two small f1ocks can go together
and buy better ram than either of
them alone would care to pay for.
Of the 80 breeds of improved sheep
brought to fixed types as adapted to
the needs Of their native homes, II are
we'll established in the United States
and others are gaining in popularity.
The better-known breeds are grouped
into three classes as follows:
Medium Wool Breeds.
Southdown Body conformation
ideal for mutton, but from raiser's
standpoint not so large as is desirable ;
weights large in proportion to appar-
ent size; will become fat enough for
market while growing; better adapted
to rolling or hilly pastures ewes good
mothers and good mixers fleece close
and comparatively fine, but often too
short to weigh heavily.
Shropshire-Ranks high In weight
and length Of fleece; proceeds Of wool
important; body intermediate be-
tween Southdown and larger breeds !;
lambs reach common market weight
later than larger breeds.
Hampshire-Lambs grow rapidly
when well fed; largest of medium wool
breeds; because OF size and weight is
not adapted to very rough or scanty
pastures; fieeces vary considerably.
Oxford-Breed large and heavy and
lambs grow rapidly when well fed :;
they can be matured early, but not so
early as some of the less growthy
breeds; fleece Of special Importance,
extra length adds to weight as well as
making 1t useful when length Of fiber
without too great coarseness is needed.
Dorset Horn-Breeding habit strong
feature: developed in sections where
early lambs were desired lambs grow
and mature rapidly; particularly pop
| ular with farmers whG raise winter or
"kothoase" lambs.
Shevoit - Accustomed to grazing
ever rough places, active and alert
vigorous and hardy; capable Of pro-

Yes-I grant they're the u. S. army
Standing there three in a row;
The man in the garb of the workshop,
The soldier, the man with the hoe
And l. wouldn't belittle their service
All part of splendid plan
But / want you to think moment
Of the woman behind the man.
War! All, the word strikes terror
To the heart of womanxind,
1t hasn't place in her scheme of life,
Nor a chord of response in
her mind.
But look-she has squared her should
at has COME must do what !
can"
And she finds her wor--did she ever
shirk?
This woman behind the man?
Not in the line of battle
Is that the one place for the brave?
But just in back in the hospital shack
Who has measured the service she
gave?
Tireless, sleepless, unfaltering,
Never needing the risk she ran,
Strength she spent-strength she
gave; hers a passion to save,
This womah behind the man.
And back in the homes they are leav-
ing
These boys fired with patriots
Linked SO close to her life-sweet-
heart, mother or wife
Can she answer he great appeal?
