' IMPROVING THE FLOCK.
Selection of the Ram Is a Matt.r of
Prime Importance.
In purchasing a ram it Is best to see
him "od his own grounds" to see the
place where he was raised, the sheep
he was raised from and how he as well
as the other sheep are handled, says
the National Stockman. Good sheep
often deterierate when taken borne
nd put untier what are to them ad
verse conditions. The buyer becomes
discourag'-d and looks upon the seller
as a swindler when a little study of
the methods of handling the ram and
a not too sudden change in those meth
ods would have saved the sheep for
good service aud would not have dis
couraged the breeder in his attempt to
Improve his flock.
If it is impossible to go personally
and select a r:im on account of the
distance or for any other reason, a per
fectly safe way to purchase, provided
the buyer knows what he wants, is by
mail order. If the kind of sheep want
ed is clearly defined and the price stat
ed to an honest breeder and honest
breeders are not hard to find there
need be no fear but that the ram sup
plied will be worth every cent of the
money paid. The reputable breeder
will not take the chance of hurting bis
reputation by Rending out a ram not
worth the price paid. If he hasn't the
sheep askeii for he will write and say
EO and will not attempt to till the order
from other sources.
The county and state fairs are poor
places to buy breeding stock of any
kind. The stock at such an exhibition
is always under unusual and advan
tageous conditions. The man who is
not an expert judge is unconsciously
misled by the high standard of all
stock and often gets false Impressions
of the value of a breed or of individ
uals of a breed. The poorest sheep
ore at home. It is impossible to tell
how much those present have been
pampered. Disappointment aud loss of
money will ofteu be saved by a per
sonal selection uf the ram on the farm
where he was raised.
PARAFFINING CHEESE.
Sett Results Obtained When Wax Is
Made Very Hot.
Mr. John Michels when at the Mich
igan experiment station devoted con
siderable time in experimenting with
paraffining cheese, and we take from
a special bulletin the following para
graph: "To secure a perfect, permanent and
Impervious covering over the entire
surface the cheese Is dipped for a mo
ment into a liijuid paraffin. Hereto
fore the pnroflin has been heated by
steam or hot water, and it has been
difficult, if not impossible, to secure a
temperature hi;;lier than 200 degrees
F. Where the cheese was dipped at
this low temperature there was a mau-

lfest tendency for the covering of par
affin to crack and even peel off. A
donble gasoline burner was therefore
tried and the temperature raised to
2G6 degrees F.
"Repeated tests at various tempera
tures seemed to indicate that the best
results are obtained between 240 and
250 degrees F. In fact, in no ease where
the dipping was done at this high tem
perature did the covering peel off. The
experiments show that a thin coat of
paraffin is all that Is needed. 'The
amount of paraffin required for a
cheese weighing forty-four pounds Is
about one-fourth of a ponnd. Cheese
should be treated within two to twelve
hours after leaving the press. The
best paraffin for this purpose has a
melting point of somewhere between
130 to 135 degrees."
Remedy For Self Sucking Cows.
The device shown In the accompany
ing diagram will prevent a cow from
sucking herself, it is claimed. The
thing is easily and cheaply made. It
consists of two lengths of light roe
and six pieces of round light wood
about eleven or twelve Inches In
length. Holes a little larger than the
diameter of the rope are bored at each

end of the sticks. The pieces are then
threaded upon the rope, tying a knot
on each side of each stick to prevent
It from slipping out of place. The
sticks nre so arranged that there will
be three on each side of the cow's
neck, as indicated in the accompanying
drawing. The collar is then adjusted
and seldom fails to bave the desired
effect
