Wnat li an Oxfordshire Down Sheep?
Tho American Oxfordshire Down
Sheep Afiocintion in its liistoiy of tlio
origin of this breed says :
It is now pomowhero ouu- fifty yea r.-
flinco Mossrs. Drucc of Uynsham, Gillott
of Soutldoigb,lJlakeof Stanton Harcourt,
and Twynliam of Hampshire, unilcrtook
t'nd construction of a new brred of slacp,
tbat should in great mon'mie posses the
weight of tho Jx)ngnool with tho quality
of tho Down. Trobably tho advantiigo
of such n breed was first apparent in tho
offspring of n cross occasionally resorted
to in tho case of draft cwci, but from
pursuing which farmers had hithorto
been deterred by tho tendoncy of the
offspring to breed back to cither ide ; and
for many years after the breed had be
come recognized us distinct, tho want of
uniform character was n source of criti
cism. Some slight admixture of Sussex
Down may havo been introduced by
those early breeders; but no aro of
opinion that tho Cotswold gicy-fact'd
ram anu mo Jiiunpiiiro uown ewe
were tho chief, if not tho only, material
which, by judicious breeding and careful
Hclcctiou havo resulted innclusiof eheep
winch, under suitablo conditions, ine
probably as iirolitablo as any that can bo
mentioned, both on account of bie,
weight of wool, aptitudo to fatten, hardy
character, and wilunblo meat. 'The
hicccsh of tho early piomoters of the pro
ject led many others into the field. It
was not until 1850 that they weio styled
tho O.xfordshiio Down, the county of
Oxford being their strongho'd ; previous
to this date they oio piopcily lcgauled
as cross-breeds, and known its Down
Cotfitt olds, under which designation thoy
nfriichioved successes at tho Bmithficld
"" shows. At tho loyal meeting at War
wic in 1857, thoio weio thiitj-hcnen
entries ; tho fust priVo in tho old class
(comprising Downs) was taken by the
Into Mr, Siiiuuol Diucofoi ashcopofthis
breod.
Mr. Philip l'ut-cy, seeing the advantage
ihwo sheoji weio likely to confer on tho
public generally, as also on tho flock
niastcr, became himself a warm supportor
of tho brocd. At ins ilcuth tliey lost a
givat patron, who, had ho boon spared,
would havo materially aided their iapid
spread aud improvement.
Tho distribution of these flocks laid a
good foundation for many othors; not
only did many tenant funnora givo up
tho old breeds to inako loom for tho im
proved sort, but tho O.xfoidshiro sheep
found favor with landed propiietors, and
amongst othei s his Graco tho Duko of
Mnrlhoroiigh nail a JlocK on a 'arm in ins
own occunntioii at Ulenheim.
As fcoon as tho bieed becamo established
somo of tho most bucco-wful breeders
began lo exhibit their sheep at tho Hoynl
Agticultutal Society's Show, nudtib thoy
had no special v.s, weio shown with
short-woolod clirop and cio-h broods.
'1 his unsatisfactory state of things con
tinued until 18(11, when tho btowsmls in
(heir ropoit btated "That tho judges aro
ot opinion unit uuowsiiuo uowns
should not bo excluded fiom rompotition
at those annual shows, ns thoy lelioo
IIimiii to bo animuls possesting great
merit, and worthy of haing a class to
tbonisolxes."
Tho It. A. S divided on a scp.uato
hits, and tho (Kfmdsliiro Downs made
their .irt appeai.inco as a lecoguized
bleed bj tho jjio.it Micinty in tho Inhibi
tion j ear of IS(i2, at llnttciM'H, xvhero
theynumbeied Iti entries, and wore
highly spoken of by the judges, who,
how ouu, objected to tip it waul of unifor
mity. It w.tsa pi mid dav foi tliistlmmsliing

with ltis splendid hi Hums .is the best pen
of cheep in any of the rlii-im; Mr. John
Tje.id well's ew e bemjj amongst tho tltreo
list pens left by the judge for holection.
Wo now shoitly di'hcnbo tho char

'A real Oxford Down should h.iu a
nice, dark-brown face (not black), tho
poll well iworcd with xmhjI, adorned
with a top-knot on the forehead) a good

The introduction of Oxfords into tho
States by Mr. T. S. Cooper in 1870, murks
mi important era in thu sheep husbandry
of this country Mr. Coo.xir. knowing
a good animal, and revoguixmg in tho
Oxford a Mieep peculiarly uduptod to tlio
wants of Aunirioiiu bu-luuuliiicn, made u

of Knglnnd. The tdxvp arrived in most
excellent eoudttiou, and after a ciy

of tin leading fairs, and also shown at

deserved attention. When we say that

traded mom attention than all the other
broods of shoop shown there, wo ant not

that, as a fact (and we sjieakfrom knowl
edge), not one person who ever estab

continued to breed them. Thero mo
casos where parties who were brooding
uaiuius ijuib junuiiig, uuu so ui necessity
ceased breeding ehtep ; butwchao to
hear yet of tho iii-t ptii-on who became
uispatisliecl with tlio Oxford and ceased
breeding them. There arc now in the
United States End Canad.is a numbor of
choice Hocks of Oxfords that are in tho
hands of most careful breeders, who, in
stcadof resting upon laurels won by their
favorites in England, are laboring to im
prove their sheep by increasing their
fleeces, xvcight of caicass, nnd if it were
possible to make them more adapted to
tho wants of American farmers. T. W.

Feeding Figs the First 150 Days
As wc uavo olten said, pig raisers
should uoid gixing young pigs a spe
cialty fattening food. In the dairy there
is plenty of skim-milk, which is well
adapted to grow tho young pig, as it is
rich in phospbato of lime to grow the
bones, and of cheesy, albuminoid matter
to grow tho muscles. A little corn may
bo given with the milk. Such pigs
nc or grow into littlo round dumps of
of fat, but grow into rangy choats. Yet,
piobably,a majority of our readers havo
the pigs without the skim-milk, and wo
must name tho food for pigs undersuch
ciicumstanccs. One of the best foods
for tho pig is a small quantity of linstod
oil meal; a tablespoonful to tho fifteen
pound pig, incroased as tho pig grows;
this, foil with oats and corn ground to
gether, made into a slop, will causo rapid
growth, but not prematura fattening.
Cotton-seed menl is sometimes used, but
v,o cannot lccomnicnd it for young
pigs. Jt is not to oasily digested, and it
has not tho samo beneficial laatixo ef
fect as liiiseedme.il, which is found to bo
a promoter of health in tho pig. This
can bo procured at any considerable
tow n all over the countiy, and thoso who
rniso anil feed large numbors of hogs can
afford to send to tho oil mills for it, and
get it at wholesale lates. It can be
bought at tho mills at $20 to $25 per
ton, anil it is always woith theso prices
as a food. It is so rich in muscle-forming
matter a4o bo of great valuo to food
with corn, which is so deficient in this
quality. I.ive-Stock-Journal.
A Remedy for drubs in Sheep.
I notlco in fovernl papers statements
to tlio effect that many shcop are dying
tliis spring from a disoase known as
grub in tho head. Tho cause, symp
toms, anil result of this malntly aro cor
rectly desciibod in tho articles I havo
seen, it tulcon in time tlio uihupo is
easily cured, but if not thero is no loin
edy. It is caused by a peculiar Kind of
ily, v hich depo-its its" eggs in tho nos
tuls of tho hheep in hot weather. Theo
eggs doiop tonnrds spring into grubs,
which cat into tho brain nnd imaiiitbly
pioduco death. A suro lemcdy is this:
After the hot woathcr is ocr and the
eggs deposited, niaVo a strong dccoition
of Scotch snulVand iihsofiedita and then
inject with a syringoabouta tablespoon
ful into each nostril. Tlio sheep will
reel and stagger liko a drunken man
after tho operation, hut thero ifc no dan
tier I wad brought up on a farm in
XowYoik, and have seen this rem edy
applied on thousands of sheep, and al
ways with sutccs. Tho induces the
most iolont sneezing, which dblodgos
and ejects tho eggs No sheep properly
treated in tho manner docciibed will
ctor die of tlii-s disease. Hut when tho
grub is onco hatched and developed theio
is no remedy. It. II. MeClcllau in Sheep
