MR. TEMPLETON OF HALSEY
In Thinking of Sheep, His Mind Always Goes in a Circle,
Returning to His Favorites, and He Gives Some Good
j Reasons for His Faith
re Should Be Some Sheep on Every Farm Here
The
'Editor Statesman: . ,
.In thinking over the, different
. kinds ot sheep, my mind is in a cir
cle, always beginning and ending
' With the Cheviot breed. I own a few
of this particular breed and hare
Compared them -with others, haying
ran them with 100 head of Shrop
shire and Cotswolds all winter. In
the spring the Cheviots were as fat
as. if stall fed, which was, war ahead
of; the others in the flock although
all had good feed.
I bought these sheep (three head,
'a ram and two ewes), at a neighbor's
. sale two years ago for $76.50, which
,-was about what one was worth. In
the spring each ewe dropped one
I lamtueach. a ewe and a ram. The
lambs were strong and lively, skip
ping about at. three days as much as
.the others were at one week. At
t - market time when I sold my Shrop
'and Cots lambs these two outweighed
"the others according to age.
: It had, been my. Intention to take
the three older ones to the state fair,
last fall, but just before the fair I
, had the misfortune to lose my buck
by another, buck killing him. Never
: the less I took the two ewes, which
"a were quite a curiosity, as . very few
people have seen the Cheviot sheep,
' these being the only registered ones
In Oregon. One ; ewe" won grand
.champion prize, not' because there
was no competition, but because she
i was a perfect sheep. ; My other prizes
-were first and second.
At the fair I was ottered $100
apiece for the ewes, which I refused,
because I intend to enlarge my flock
until in the near, future it will really
be a flock instead of a few head.
This year my yearling ewe dropped
, a fine ewe lamb and the other two
have so much rain they get their Kof . sheep on this farm for the last
ewes, gave birth to twins, so now ij
have, all told, nine . head. Four of
these will be to dispose of this fall,
as they are rams; then I will send
east, 'Where the Cheviots are raised
in greater numbers, for a few more
ewes. :
Perhaps it would be of interest to
you to know something more of the
characteristics of the Cheviots.
Hardiness: It is one of the most
hardy breeds of sheep 'known. No
middle wool breed-in America is Its
equal In this respect. The breed or
iginated in Scotland, and for centur
ies it has been kept the year round
on the Cheviot hills, in flocks of
thousands, exposed to the severity
of winter, its only feed, being grass
or hay, and its only shelter the starry
heavens and its bed the bleak hill
sides. Size: The - ewes usually weigh
from 120 to 150 pounds, and are
heavy for their size. Ewes, however,
weigh occasionally up to 200 pounds.
The ideal weight of a ram is 225
pounds.
Ewes as Mothers: The ewes are
excellent milkers and give the lambs
plenty of nourishment. They look
out for their young in every way.
"The Cheviot is one of the purest
and oldest breeds ot ' sheep known,
white in color, with a smooth face
and legs, bright full eyes and ele
gant, carriage. They are the most at
tractive breed of sheep known. They
have been bred In Canada since 18 2 S
and in the United States since 1S28.
New York and Indiana lead in size
and number of flocks, although there
are. Cocks in, numerous other, states.

fleeces soaked and they are Inclined
to stand around and chill. ' In my
40 years In the sheep business I
have raised all kinds, and no doubt
before I get through with this story
you will know what breeds I pre
fer. I
The Cots wold and Lincoln are al
most the same; they are about the
largest sheep when full grown, and
they are all right if you have an
abundance of grass and plenty ot
feed and shed room for the winter.
Their wool is very open and when
the winter rains start in they are
likely to . get soaked and stand
around and get chilled, and then
they will lose flesh and become dis
eased in the head. These two breeds
are about the heaviest shearers, it
well kept, but their wool is so coarse
it does not bring the best price. We
have . the Southdown, rather smalL
trown-faced sheep, very hardy, eas
ily kept and splendid mutton sheep.
Its wool is of medium variety and
brings the top price, but do not shear
very heavy. , We have the Hampshire
and Oxford Downs. They are a good
deal alike black-faced, larger than
Southdowna. Splendid mutton sheep
and their wool Is of the medium
grades and brings a fair price; wool
is a little coarser than Soutbdowns.
.Now we have the Dorset Horned.
These sheep are white faced, with
very large horns. This breed is
noted for early lambs, quick to ma
ture. Here is where a. great many
people get their Easter lambs. This
breed does not shear ver heavy.
but the wool is of good quality
Now comes the Leicester. This
breed is very healthy, resembles the
Cotswold. heads very clean and not
as large as Cotswold. , Their wool
is a little finer; this Is one of the
best breeds we have.
Now we come to Shropshire Down
sheep. My father, G. W. Hunt, now
deceased.. had the honor of making
the first importation of this breed
ot sheep that ever. came to this coast
In 1876. lie Imported direct from
England through A. O. Fox of Ore
gon. Wis., the first pair of Shrop
shire sheep that ever came to this
coast. They landed on my father's
old .homestead,, known as the Deaver
Glen Stock farm. 16 miles east of
Salem, in the Waldo Hills, and we
have made a specialty ot this breed
-
years, and we are still raising them.
There have been several thouni
breeding ewes and rams . shipped
from this farm all over, this western
country. This breed of sheen Is I
very blocky. easily kept. They shea?
weu ana meir wool Is of medium
quality and brings the ton nrice.
For mutton the Shropshire lambs al
ways bring the top price In any mar
ket. They are well adapted to this
climate, for their wool is so thick
It seldom. ever Vets through; Is al
most as good as a buckskin blanket
to keep the sheep dry. I think there
are more sheep . ot this breed In
western ' and ' southern Oregon than
any other one breed.
I think my success aa a farmer is
due largely to the fact that I stack
to . the sheep business. We never
plowed a field until we let the sheep
so ahead and clean up all volunteer
grain and weeds; that is cleafprofit.
think February Is the best month
to have lambs to come. Every far
mer should have a shed for lambing
time with a few tons of clover hay.
U you have this yon can save al
most every lamb. One very impor
tant thing I find is whenever you go
out into the field to look after your
cheep you should always take a lit
tle salt, or a few oats, and call your
aheep up, and in so doing your sheep
will always be gentle , and easy to
handle. If you .don't, they are like
ly to get wild, and when they see
you coming they will run to the. far
side of the pasture. - People are not
all alike, and I guess it 4s right that
we should not be. but tor my part 1
would rather go out n the pasture,

My advice to any industrous young I crop rotation

ways have a bank account.

then back to wheat and reeeed to

the farm that Is In permanent pas
ture, then the one year pasture can
be cut out. Here is where quite a
large flock of sheep can be kept prot
Itably. The clover fields can be pas
tured up to about June 1.' This re
sults in the most- certain crop ot
clover seed. The clover crop comes
on quickly and should be harvested
by September 1. Then the sheep can
be . turned back to 'the clover and
wheat stubble. During the three
months - the sheep could be kept
either in the permanent pasture or in
the field that had been let run oter
without 'plowing up. '.Where the
clover crop la cut for hay. a second
crop for seed la questionable. Where
It is left tor seed without being dip
ped or held back by sheep the growth
la too rank -and win not fUl well.
The "sheeping off" ot the clover
Qelds Is a benefit to the crop as well
as feed. for the sheep.
The result ot this plan Is a good
crop of wheat' on clover' sod. a crop
ot clover seed, besides the crop ot
lambs and wool and an : Increasing
fertility ot the soil; this with a mini
mum of labor. Of . course a culti
vated crop of either corn or potatoes
eould follow the breaking up of: the
clover sod. and other changes could
be made, but they all Involve etra
labor, and I started in to show
profitable way to handle the large
farm with a minimum of labor and
make aheep the basis for operating.

(Hy 1. T. Hunt, Salem, Oregon)
My observation of the sheep in
dustry, after 40 years experience of
raising sheep in the Willamette val
ley: Every farmer should have at
least a few sheep and the number he
should keep should depend on the
amount of range he has. He should
keep all he could, but at no time
should he . become overstocked, and
be need not become overstocked if
he 'will manage right, tor Bheep are
always In demand and he can sell
Off a few. The kind , of sheep to
keep depends on where you are lo
cated. If in eastern Oregon I would
f I.,
-1
recommend the Merino, bred with
about one-quarter cross on some ot
the Down breeds, or, plainer speak-
Inr . the black-faced, breeds. The
Merino sheep is the best kind of
sheep for herding and are adaptable
to dry climate. Two men can take
1000 head of Merino sheep and keep
them all summer in the mountains.
They will always stay close together.
but to keen 1000 head of any other
breed together in the mountains you
would have to have about aa many
men as sheep. I don't think the
Merino sheep is the best kind for
the Willamette valley farmer. We

There is a great demand et this

A cross with the range ewes brings
Ihem much larger lamb and when
they bring them from the range In
the fall they weigh. out and bring
the owner a fancy profit.
. The Hampshire will shear about
eight or ten pounds ot wool, and
with the price ot medium wool about
double the price of coarse wool. It
pays to stay with the medium wool

the Sheep Breeder Has a Profit Coming Often
Editor Statesman:
The sheep industry Is a very prof
itable industry; you harvest first the
wool clip and, later you have the
lamb crop to turn off; so you have
a profit coming in often. They are
great fertilisers besides it, is nice to
have a small flock on the farm to
keep the weeds down. Cotswold is
the best breed for the valley. They
are larger sheep, good for wool and
mutton both. They stand the long,
rainy winters much better than the
dose, short wooled breeds. The time
is not far off when every farmer will
have a small flock ot pure bred
Cotswolds.

The Shropshire hi perhaps the nest
for the small farmer. The wool Is
of medium length and fineness, and
la salable at any of the home mills.
The sheep is hardy and is easily
kept. A man can keep three hrop

Editor Statesman:
The sheep Industry in the Willam
ette valley has a great future, that
is, the small flock.
The farmers are awakening to the
fact that -few head of sheep on
their farms not only clear up the
weeds and briers, but tend to fer
tilize the land and build up tbeir
worn-out soil.
Sheep and clover go together, then
too, the progressive farmer readily
sees the. profit in sheep. One gets
a double crop each year; the wool
and the lambs.
la ordinary years the clip ot woo
will jpay for the year's keep of n
sheep. Lambs are generally mar
keted when they are from five to
six months old. At that time they
will - weigh between 80 and 100
pounds. The present price is be
tween 8 and 10 cents per pound, so
you can eavity aeterralne the profits.
The majority of sheep In this
valley are grades, but the wideawake
breed It has discarded the grade
sheen and purchased pure breds. To
be sure, they cpst more to begin
with, but they cost no more to keep.
and besides If yon purchase a pure
bred flock you will naturally give
them better care and in the end reap
the reward.
The particular breed to select, of
course, .depends largely upon the lo
cality and opon the individual
