GOOD BLOOD TELLS.
Experience of Sheep Breeder With a
Pur Bred Ram,
Most every agricultural lecturer on
live stock topic tell the farmer who
hear hi in that the male I half the
flock, saya the Iowa Homestead. A
Herman sheep breeder tested out thla
statement a few year ago and proved
that with aheep at least tho ram may
be the making of the flock.
The shepherd purchased four ewes
from a Wyoming range. At tho time
of tho purchuse It wna almost Imim
llblo to determine the breed of the
sheep becnuae they were o scrubby
and ao much run down. Nothing waa
known to their pnreiitage, but It wn
very apparent from their pu-arance
that they were tho acrulililext of the
crubliy.
lie muted these four ewe with a
ram of very high character, lie wa
unusually vigorous, a pure bred and
with breeding of tho very highest qual
ity. The Unit crop of lamb told the
alory. Seven were born to tho four
ewe, and all of them resembled the
ram. Of course, they wore not pure
bred and were not perfect tn all re
leeU, but they were ao far In ad
vance of their mother that you would
w-arcely recognize any relationship.
Not only were theae lamba of high
quality, according to the Judgment of
the shepherd, but they proved to be

position the following winter. In a
clas containing thirty-eight lambs of
various breeding one of these took
aecond prize.
In selecting a ram of any mutton
breed, you nnturally look for a well
built body. More Important than this
Is the vigor. The rum should have
a bright eye, a fearless expression and
a masculine nppenrance throughout
Ills body should be blocky, because It
Is tho blocky body that produces the
most ment In fact, lie Bhould be near
est tho Ideal type of mutton sheep It
Is possible to secure, with tho addition
of uiiiiHiiiil vigor and constitution.
A ram with ft nnrrow heart girth
should not bo used In a flock under
any conditions. Narrowness Just back
of the fore legs Indicates lack of con
stitution, which Is almost sure to have
a downward tendency lu the flock.
Just remember thnt In the snnio way a
good rum can bring up a (lock, a poor
ram will pull down the standard Just
as rapidly.
YOUNG MARES FOR
BROOD PURPOSES
lo hi book on "Management and
Breeding of Horse" M. W. Harper
baa thla to say on the breeding of two-
year-old Olllea:
Among practical borae breeder there
la much difference of opinion as to the
advisability of brooding a two-year-old
mare. Many person assert that the
breeding of a Oily at ao early an age
tend to rotnrd her development, tint
she will ut make so large or vigorous
an animal aa ahe otherwise would and
that the foal I handicapped lu Its de
velopment because of having an Im
mature dam. On the other baud, there
are breeder who state tlmt early preg
nancy ha a tendency to stimulate the
development of the dam, to Increase
the fertility, and that the Orst foal, if
from a lllly at least three year of age,
stand Just a good a chance aa the
Orst foal from a mature mure.
From experience It seem that the
practicability of breeding a two-year-
old Oily depend on at least three fac
torsthe breed, the individuality of
the mure and the object sought Aa a
rule, horse of the heavy type mature
younger than those of the light type.
A draft filly at two years of age la
often aa mature aa a trotting, running
or saddle Oily at three year of age.
Individual mares differ In the way
Ibey mature, aa a smoothly tnrned.
neat and well finished one develops
much younger than a rough, coarse
and growthy Individual. Maturity la
Influenced by the feed and care. A
lllly that la kept growing continuously
An Ohio farmer, wiilln in tha Na
tional Htockman, aaya: "We prefer
the t'ercheron breed full of vim and
quick action. Have raised aome
l.too pound mare thnt would out
walk and trot fnater than one-half
of tha ao called road horaaa. Tha
Bhlre and tha Clydeednle are good
horae. but have too much feather

from birth will mature earlier than
one luiierfectly cared for and which
receive a setback each winter. Final
ly, If breeding pure bred anlinula and
the object Bought la to Improve the
strain, the advisability of breeding a
two-year-old filly would be question
able. On the other band. If working
with grades and the object la to pro
duce draft home for the market there
la no reason why flllle cannot be bred
at two yeur of age If they are well
grown and mature and their owner la
willing to feed and care for them prop
erly during their pregnancy.
I'erhapa one reason for much of the
discussion as to the wisdom of breed
ing a mare at two year of age I
from the fact that flllle at thl age
breed with much difficulty. From prac
tical experience It seems that only
about one Oily out of four will con
ceive at ao early an age.
SHRINKAGE OF CATTLE.
Animal Los 3 to 8 Par Cant In Going
to Market
After weighing 1D.000 cattle In 2ti.1
shipments, govemment experts have
concluded that tlie normal shrinkage
of cattle In shipment Is from 3 to 0
per cent There are no exceptions to
this rule, and no one can say before
hand Just bow much cattle will shrink
In going to tho market ' It depends
on the treatment of the cattle, the
length of time they are held without
feed or water, the nature of their feed
before loading, the character of the
trip to market the distance shipped
and the time of arrival.
The shrinkage of the first twenty
four hours is greater than for any bu1
Bcqnent twenty-four hours. Steers gen
erally shrink a little less thnn cows of
the same weight Fed cattle and range
cattle shrink about equally. There Is
no way to prevent shrinkage, but care
ful handling and good feeding will
keep It within reasonable bounds.
One of the chief causes of heavy
shrinkage la a too severe drive to the
loadlug pen, especially during the bot
weather,
v How to Fight a Bull.
To fight a cross bull go for bis eyes.
I snw one put to flight In a very short
time when a man nearly eighty years
old was nourly overcome by a two-year-old
Jersey bull, says a writer In
the Farm and Fireside. A man sweep
ing tn a barn near by saw the situation
and came with bis broom. The old
man moved out of bis way. and be
Jabbed the broom In the face of the
bull two or three times. The fight
was then over. The bull ran away.
My opinion Is that anything to Injure
his sight would have bad the same
uffoct sand, dust or anything Blmllar.
