BREEDING FOR BETTER SHEEP
Experiment Being Conducted on Ex.
pertinent Ranch In Idaho by
Department Of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Corriedale sheep developed in Aus
tralia mainly by Lincoln-Merino
cross, are being studied by the United
States department Of agriculture at
the government 2S,OOO-acre sheep-ex-
pertinent ranch at Dubois, Idaho.
There are at present about 1900 sheep
on the project divided into various
classes. Australians claim for the
Corriedales better mutton form than
the Merino. more weight, and yet q
good fleece Of about three-eighths
blood quality. It is expected that the
tests now being conducted by the de-
partment will eventually result In a
better average sheep, as to mutton
carcass. than the breeds now on the
market. The breed was introduced In
to this country by the federal depart
ment, but since that time many large
private importations have been made.
Part Of the sheep on the Dubois range
are being kept as straight Coniedales.
while others are being crossed with
American crossbreds.

Prince Ferdinand Radziwill, who 70
Gently presided at the opening Of the
new Polish parliament, is distant
relative of the Hohenzollerns and one
Of the pillars Of the old Polish nobility.

was declared to be absolutely without
political Significance, but entirely
matter Of custom. The prince came
into the temporary presidency by rea-
son of seniority only. He is eighty
five years old and Is the oldest member
