J. E. SMITH LIVESTOCK

grnue biiropsiures. But in spite of
the par excellence of tho Shropshire
grade when properly handled, the
Smith people arc radical partisans of
the Merino the Spanish and the De
lano. They claim that the best mutton
1-l.i.v.ji for nsstc;a O.cson is a cross
of fullblood Merino bucks on native
grades which are partly Merino. U,;t
their adherence for profit is staunch
for the wool sheep, and in their opin
ion the nearer that sheep Ir to being
fullblooded Merino the bettor, as will
be seen hereafter. Not merely do
they believe in high grado Merino,
but the shecpraiser who wishes to
make the best of his opportunities
which opportunities include climate
and range principally In their opin
ion had best work into the fullblood
ed Merino as fast as possible. They
take no stock whatever in the theory
some hold that a cross is necessary
to secure hardiness or any other de
sirable quality, but hold that the nat
ural adaptability of the animal to
di-i-muaie aim 10 also perfectly as
simiiate our native forage, makes
the fullblooded animal to all intent
and purposes an Indigeneous Ameri
can sheep. In other words, that a few-
generations of Americanization of the
finest bpanish sheep as perfectly
adapts that sheep to Western Amer-
ca as It Is adapted to Spain.
.1. E. Smith, the head of the com
pany, noes not taue much stock in
the concern so many sheep and other
stocKmen express about "changing
methods of sheep farming" being
crowded on Umatilla county by the
breaking up of the largo ranches and
farms, and by other conditions. He
admits that methods will be modi
fled to a certain extent, but that they
will not be radically changed. At
tbe same time the Smith company is
to a certain extent adapting the!
methods to the changes which they
tnemselves recognize. For Instance,
they have already gone into the "mod
ified" system somewhat, but believe
its application will begin and end
about at that point where they apply
It now: the development of the mut
ton capabilities of the yearly surplus,
They consider that the country is
now stocked to Its safe limit, and
that opinion compels the conclusion
that the surplus must go on the mar
ket every year as mutton instead of
being held and developed for wool as
has hitherto been the system. In
conformance with this theory the
Smith company now raises root crops
and hay more especially for tho de
velopment of milk-producing quail
ties in the breeding ewes and thus
secure marketable lambs earlier than
by dependence upon the natural
range.
The company now has 3,800 full
blooded Merino ewes, of which num
ber 2,000 have been bred to imported
registered Delane and Spanish Meri
no bucks. These breeding ewes will
be fed before and after lambing with
domestic hay and root crops as tho
best method of developing the lambs
both for tho outside market for breed
Ing rams and for the outsldo mutton
market as well. In this general way
the Smith company adapts Its mctli
ods to whatever changing conditions
there may be, and does it as the best
method of disposing or wo naiurui
Increase at the least expense and
greatest profit.
As to wool, tbe Smith company be
Ileves tbe very best animal Is tho
fullblooded sheep .and not only that
but that tbe fullblooded Is tho most
profitable for tbe Wallowa country
and for the Idaho and Montana mar
kets. They have noticed tho tenueii
cy for years In those districts to run
to a coarse sueep, and mat luiiuum-j
has resulted in a lanky, looso limbed
and coarse, loose-fibred wool animal.
Knw thnsR districts have begun to re
alize their error and to breed for the
develonment of wool. Furthermore,
ihnfee districts mentioned have begun
to buy their fine bucks In great num
bers in Umatilla comity, which makes
1 ft nut nml inc reaslng market for
fine sheep, wool sheep, raised here.
Tbe Smith company standard for
Eastern Oregon Is a sheep that will
clip 10 pounds at a year old nnd
weigh 100 pounds after shearing. Not
onlv do they believe in nnd reach
that standard, but claim that that
same sheep leaves the largest and
the best carcass for the mutton mar
ket when It has reached the ngc to
be discarded altogether for wool.
The fullblood Delane and Spanish
Merino is the sheep embodying those
finalities. In their opinion, and their
devotion to this ideal in their meiu
pounds. The same animals nvcrago
13H poundB fleece ns yearlings. This
company raises lambs from SO per
cent of their fullblooded owes, nnd
havo now, In the best of condition,
2,300 lambs from tho 2,900 fullblood
ed ewes mentioned elsewhere. A lit
tle later, when tho lambing season
Is completed, tho company will havo
45,000 sheep on their two ranches,
and now havo SO men employed tak
ing caro of the Hocks.
They begin shearing next Monday
nnd will shear 25,000 sheep this sea
son. It Is Just 29 years since J. K.
Smith went Into the lmslness of rais
