Better Demand for Pure
Bred Horses in Kansas

Unusually large numbers Of licenses
issued to owners Of stations, and the
good demand for breeding stock Of the
Kansas State Agricultural college herd
Indicate an increased interest over
Kansas in pure-bred horses in the
opinion Of Prof D. L. Macintosh Of
the department of animal husbandry.
Licenses issued so far this year to
stallion owners number $50 more than
those given out at the same time In
1924.
Within the past ten months the col
lege has sold II stations and mares
to Kansas breeders. The outstanding
individuals sold from the college herd
were the Belgian stations Colgar and
Hazelton Lad Colgar, winner at the

Prices for pure bred stock are fair,

FARM
SOCK
SHEARING SHEEP is
NOT HARD TASK

Brief suggestions on shearing sheep
bandry division for the benefit p(
those farmers who are growing sheep
for the first time and are inexperi-
enced in the method Of shearing.
The first mistake commonly made
In shearing sheep is the method Of
catching and holding There are
three ways by which the sheep may
be satisfactorily caught. The first
Is to throw the hand in front of the
neck, the second is to grasp them In
the rear flank, and the third is to
catch the left hind leg just above the
hook in the right hand and then grad
ually pull the sheep backward and
throw the left hand around under the
chin The next thing to do Is to lift
the sheep entirely clear Of Its feet
and place it on its rump. inclining it
back somewhat so that the hind legs
cannot get a foothold. Sheep placed
In such a position will struggle very
little-the beginner, however, will
have considerable difficulty in prevent
ing the sheep from struggling VIC
lently.
In shearing, the wool should be cut
smoothly and close to the body. A
very common mistake is to clip them
the first time not very close to the
body and then 60 over the surface
again and reclip. This method re-
suits In lot of short fbers which are
practically worthless, so far as the
manufacturer Is concerned The
fleece should be kept intact and
should not be taken on In punches
or patches. After it Is taken from
the body it should be carefully rolled
with the inside (side which was next
to the body out When thus rolled 1t
gives the fleece a splendid appearance
and 1t will sell better on the market
Probably the worst mistake made
In shearing sheep Is that all sorts Of
Irvine are used in tying the fleeces.
One should select Irvine which has
q very hard finish and which will
not shed Its fibers in the wool. Good
three-ply No. Al twine is very salts
factory. There Is a so-called wool
twine on the market which Is very
soft and sheds its fibers readily, which
L. very Objectionable. Ordinary bind
er Irvine, which Is used In harvesting
small grain is also Objectionable
There Is a paper wool for the pur-
pose Of tying heeces and which L.
thoroughly satisfactory.
After tying. the aeeces should be
stored In a clean, dry place where
they will not accumulate moisture or
dust When placed in bags for ship
ment or storage care should be taken
to select bags which are closely
woven, so that they will not shed
their fbers on the feeces. When
placed in ordinary burlap sacks the
fibers from these sacks will get In
the fieeces, and when woven into cloth
or blankets they will not dye readily
and consequently the buyer cannot
afford to pay as much for deeces
stored and shipped in such bags as
be could II the proper type of bag
were used.
