kind of an answer is that there is NJ
best breed; various ones contain goo(
points, and in order to succeed one
should pick out the breed suitable fol
his needs and location. By following
the precept and example of success
full men in his community the novice
will have little need to fear. The
Merino's strong point is to produce
wool of a superior character and to
/ give its progeny hardness and good
rustling ability. The Shropshire is
a good mother, while the Hampshire
lamb natures the quicker The Lin
coin produces high-priced, long, sta
pie wool; the Southdown elegant NUT
ton; the Dorset early lambs, and so
on, each breed having some point of
superiority over the others.
What is the difference between a
wool fibre and a hair?
Under the microscope the wool
fibre looks somewhat like saw, and
these little prongs on wool are what
cause it to "felt" together or become
very closely interviewer. The hair is
perfectly smooth.
How much wool is produced in the
world annually
About 2,7OO,OOO,OOO pounds. Of
this ourcountry produces about 27O,-
100000 pounds and consumes nearly
600,000,O00 pounds.
How much wool does the average
sheep produce?
This varies considerably, but the
ordinary sheep shears fleece around
eight pounds of wool Sin the grease"
or as it comes from the animal. This
will make about two and one-quarter
pounds of secured WOOL or ready
for the manufacturer.
How much wool was required to
outfit one soldier?
About Is pounds. Due to the de-
structive tendencies of modern war
fare, millions of pounds of wool were
destroyed in a single week. The |
flocks of northern France, Belgium,
Serbia and parts of Russia have been !
destroyed. Thousands of expert |
shepherds never came back to their !
homes, and their services are lost
forever. It is this reconstruction
era" that we are passing through |
now and upon which the profiteering
crowds cry so loudly about.
What is the value of wool in an
ordinary suit of clothes
When wool was 20 cents pound
about S270 worth of wool was used;
COW that it is around four bits a
pound, possibly SIS TO 81 worth. Of
:ourse this varies greatly, but for

to the ultimate consumer; it would
be interesting just to know where the
extra SO have gone to.
!. How is the age Of sheep determined
by the teeth?
/ A lamb has 20 milk teeth; the per-
manent teeth number 80. When the
! animal is about l year Of age the
central pair of milk teeth fall out,
succeeded by the permanent ones.
At 2 the second pair of milk teeth
| (on each side Of the centrals) dis
appear, and the permanent ones take
their place. At three the third pair
of milk teeth are she'd" and at 4
all the milk teeth have vanished and
the animal has what is called "full
mouth" At or thereabouts one or
two of the teeth may become lost and
the animal is said to be "broken-
mouthed." Most of the so-called
lamb chops" served to the long -suf-
fering public come from venerable
broken-mouthed ewes, and this is why
the dear public does not warm up to
mutton as steady diet.
How many stomachs does sheep
have?
Four, the same as a COW. These
contain between three and five gal
Ions.
What is the normal temperature of
sheep?
Nearly five degrees warmer than
that of person, or about los degrees
Fahrenheit Of course this varies
greatly, running from 102 to 106,
even in good health.
How much blood does sheep con-
tain?
About a gallon. The average lamb
scarcely has a pint, and this is why
blood-sucking parasites, such as
stomach or lung worms, are so dead
ly to lambs.
Is timothy hay good for sheep as a
winter feed?
No, because it is more or less con-
stipating to ruminants, and in ewes
heavy with lamb much loss occurs
from impaction and blind staggers.
What are good feeds for sheep?
In summer turn them out on good
pasture or range and they will take.

beats alfalfa hay, with a little bran
and whole oats If this is too ex-

Isralites was evidently of the Dorset
type. 1t is rather hard for tender
foot to describe the difference between
a Merino and Rambouillet, or be-
tween Shropshire and Hampshire
but each breed has various little
marks that separate it from the
others. For example, the Suffolk
lambs are of a decided brunette type
while the Cotswold has long locks of
wool hanging down over it's forehead,
sometimes causing wool blindness by
covering the eyes, or even working it's
way in between the eyelids. While
the average person is acquainted with
only three kinds of sheep-white
sheep, black sheep and Mary's lamb
one should not be SO ignorant about
the subject as to imagine mineral
wool is taken from hydraulic ram.
What is a purebred?
An animal whose sire and dam are
both registered as purebreds; many
people enormously call this "thor-
oughbred." The latter is the English
running horse.
What is grade?
An animal Slreu ny pureDTeu, OUT
whose dam is a common, unregistered
one. A "scrub" is by a grade sire
and nondescript dam.
What is crossbred?

EACH For example, the Corriedale is
a cross between Lincoln rams and
Merino ewes. They are produced in +
order that the progeny might have
wool of fine type (from the Merino)
and of long staple (from the long
wooded Lincolns). 1t was in this
manner the present magnificent
specimens of English mutton breeds
we're produced and the art of combin-
ing two breeds in order to get a

and British Aviators Held
Off Superior Forces.
FOUR Machines ATTACK 20
Interesting Account of an Exciting
Aerial Combat During the Late
War-Battie Enemy for
Several Hours.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the most in
teresting accounts of an aerial combat
in the late war was made public re-
Gently by the navy news bureau, which
has headquarters in the navy depart
ment in Washington.
The story is told in the report of
Ensign r. b. Keyes of the United
States Naval Flying corps to Admiral
Sims, and relates how four British
seaplanes operated by American and
British aviators fought 20 German ma
chimes several hours in defense of a
British plane that had been forced to
descend to the water for repairs.
Ensign Reyes was the front gun
layer of one of the machines, in which
Lieutenant Galvayne of the British
Royal Air force was second pilot. In
his report the aviator says:
"Our three machines from Felix
stowe rose from the water at noon,
circled into patrol formation, and pro-
ceeded along the coast to Yarmouth.
Here we were joined by two more
planes. AT one o'clock the squadron
turned east. Soon we perceived the
Dutch coast. and followed the sandy
beaches of Texolt and ylieland islands
until we came to Terschelling.

SAT Terschelling we yeered west,
but we soon had to turn back because
one machine (Eaton's) had come to
the water with a broken petrol pipe
We circled it, and 10 minutes later
sighted five German planes steering
west, which would soon bring them
upon us,

cockpit, with one gun and 400 rounds
of ammunition. In the stern cockpit
the engineer and wireless ratings were
to handle three guns.
''We took battle formation and went
forward to meet the enemy machines,
but when almost within range they
turned and ran away from US. At
once we gave chase, but soon found
that they were too fast.

them away from the machine on the
water, which otherwise would have

soon the enemy once more came
close, and we gave chase a second
time. But instead. of five machines
as before, there were only four.
Suddenly we discovered that a large
number of hostile planes were steering
toward us, not in the air with the four
planes, but very close to the water
Ten machines were in this group, but
| they were joined in a few minutes by
five more.
1--WE swung into battle formation
and aimed for the middle of the fleet.
When we We're nearly within range
four planes on the port side and five
on the starboard side rose to our level
of 1900 feet Two planes passed di-
rectly beneath us, shooting upward.
Firing was incessant from the begin
ming, and the air seemed blue with
tracer smoke The Germans used ex-
plosive bullets. 1 gave most of my
time to the four planes on our port
side, because they were exactly at our
level and within good range, about
200 yards.

that Lieutenant Galvayne was in

The records show that the American
aces destroyed 4S3 enemy aircraft.
The actual number was higher, but only
official "crashes" were counted. The
German machines destroyed were di-
vided into 42S airplanes and 55 OBJ
servation balloons.
The price paid by America in de-
stroying the wings of the German
armies is told in brief statement.
This shows that there were 80 fiiers

hind the lines. In action with the
enemy, 1S7 flyers were killed, 1873
wounded, At marked missing, and las
taken prisoner by the Germans.
