NEW BREEDS OF LIVE STOCK
Columbia Sheep Are Particularly
Adapted to Range Conditions
New Type of Horse.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is developing types of live
stock believed to be more useful than
some now represented by present
breeds.
Range sheep bree ding conducted in
Clark county, Idaho, is resulting in
a type which has become so fixed as
to warrant it's classification as a breed.
These sheep, known as Columbia
sheep, are particularly adapted to
range conditions and are believed to
be profitable both for mutton and wool
production.
A new type of American utility
horse is rapidly being established, in
cooperation with the state, at Buff
falo, Wyoming. Among the character
istics of the. type possibly entitled to
the term 'breed'-are activity,
strength, endurance, and reasonable
speed. The horses are believed to
meet demand for general farm and
ranch work, delivery purposes, and
for certain classes of military serv-
ice.
Poultry breeding at the bureau
farm, BeltsviIle, Md, shows progress
in the establishment of a new breed
of fowl Certain characteristics, such
as white plumage and yellow legs and
skin, are now well fixed, but there is
still considerable variation in the type
and in color Of eggs. The birds de-
veloped this year show improvement
over those of year ago.

Specialized sheep farming, in which
forage crops were used for the sum-
mer pasture, and study of the re-
lation of nutrition of ewes at breeding
time to the percentage of lambs pro-
dueed were included in the expert
mental work conducted last year by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture at the government farms at
Beltsville, Nd, and Middlebury, VT.
Data were obtained relative to the
comparative relish with which sheep
ate different forage crops and the
gains made while pasturing upon
them. 1t was demonstrated that with

pasturing forage crops, sheep could be
successfully raised without danger of
infestation by stomach worms or 9th
er internal parasites. Experiments in
the last four years to test the effect
of feed at breeding time upon the size
of the lamb crop have shown an in
crease of 1873 per cent Of lambs pro
duced by increased nutrition of ewes
during mating season for both Belts
vile and Middlebury. This is an in
crease of 25.9 per cent in the Belts
vile flock and S.55 per cent in the
Middlebury flock.
In experiments with 120 Western
ewes at the Middlebury farm to test
the effect of running sheep in perma-
nent pasture upon the growth of
weeds, and the carrying capacity of
the fields, it has been demonstrated
that sheep are benefited in cleaning
pastures Of weeds, but that it must
be accomplished gradually and should
not be oyeremphasized as a reason for
engaging in sheep raising.
