BREED OF TAILLESS
SHEEP MAY BE HAD

Lexington, Ky, July IA breed
of sheep without tails some day may
be one of the exclusive products OF
Kentucky, If experiments which are

by the Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station run true to form. The
station has purchased tailless eve
from J. w. Mattingly, a Ma;ion Coun.
ty farmer and will breed the freak
tn tailiess ram lamb Obtained from
: Northern Kentucky Shea raiser ia
an effort to develop a breed of sheer
without tails
The experiment will be started this
fall
Such a bred of sheep is possible
according to l.. j. Horlacher, in
charge of the sheep at the station
He says the breed of polled Hereford
cattle was startd in 1903 by mating
two hornless animals. A number OF
tailless lambs probably will be obtain
ed from the first cross of the two
tailless individuals and the export.
mentors hope to build up an entirely
new bred from these lambs.
Several tailless sheep have been
born in Marion County this year, Mr.
Horlacher says. The eve purchas.
ed by the station was sired by a
SouthdOwn ram. Her dam was a
high-grade Hampshire.
The tailless ram owned by the sta.
tion also will be bred to several long,
tailed ewes to determine the rsults
of such a cross.
A breed of sheep without tails
would be an enormous improvement
over present breeds, Mr.. HorlacheI
says. Long-tailed market lambs and
sheep are eco. desired and before the
highest price can be realized on then
their tails must be locked. Should
the experiments result in de.
veloping a breed of tailless sheer
farmers who raise market animals
will be spared the time and expense
of clipping their tails before placing
them on the market

Economist Leaders mistaken
BY Demands From Cabinet

House economy leaders have not
been shaken by the food OF urgent
appeals from new Cabinet officers in
the Harding administration for more
money to enable them to put into
effect reforms, extensions and expan-
sions in various services which they
are planning. -s--.r .-s
"All these requests will be scru-
tinized carefully by the House and its
committees before the deficiency APP
preparation bill is framed" House
Leader Mondell announced last night.
1T Is not probable that all the re-
quests will be granted. some may be
allowed in part. others may be turned
down completely"
1t is safe 10 predict from state
ments of the House leaders that the
new and costly addition to the Urea
sury costing $4,000 requested by
Secretary Mellon. will be turned down.
The deficiency appropriation OF
approximately $175,O0O.O00 asked by
the Shipping Board will be met with
the longest and sharp scrutiny in
the office Of tho Appropriations Com
mittee, despite the unqualified demand
OF President Harding for a great mer-
chant marine. The committee is of
the opinion that the shipping Board
should be able to finance itself from
the operation of it's ships and other
sources of revenue.
Appropriations aggregating $780,
100000 are to be authorized during
the next week by the House. THESE
are for maintenance of the navy and
army. Deficiency appropriations ask
ed by the various departments now
a g.. n
more will come. Many OF these will
be ignored totally. The position taken
by the House economists is that de-
partments must get along on less
money and recopciliation to the idea
is necessary. .. p.
