CONDITION OF FLEECE COUNTS IN SELLING Whon pucking. the fleeces of ewes, lambs, nuns tmU wethers should be packed separately. In small flocks it Is hardly advisable to pack them iu sep arate bags, but they cnu be separated In the bag by sheets of stiff, strong pa per so that they can be easily sorted at the market. A bag containing n certain kind of wool should be marked so that Its con tents are known. Tags and -wool from dead sheep should be packed separate ly, says an Illinois circular. If there are black or gray fleeces either they should be packed separately or their location should be designated. If the wool Is not sold immediately after shearing it should be stored in a clean, dry place. It should not be left on the bare ground even though it Is placed In bags. It is the better E mm MM mm mm W4.;::..:.: I mm mm mm A-Ai S l i ys- mm-' l-im fu r Mti$& Photo by American Press Association. The Lincoln breed of sheep Is the heaviest grown in the British is lands. It is known for Its bright, lustrous wool, which masses In char acteristic flakes or strands and la very long, samples measuring twenty-one inches. The breed Is the product of Lei cester crosses upon the old Lincoln stock. As a mutton sheep it Is con sidered by many inferior to the Down breeds, but for crossing pur poses It has been In great demand, especially on the ranges of the northwest United States. The picture shows the Judging of Lincoln rams at the Yorkshire ag ricultural show held in Leeds, England. THE BLEAT OF THE SHEEP. 1 method to store and market wool in bags, as it Is the more likely to be kept clean. The bags should be closely woven so they will effectively keep out dust and dirt. They should also be of a type that will not shed particles of fiber into the wool. The closely woven Jute bags com monly used are satisfactory in neither particular. If the clip is contracted for before it Is shorn and immediate delivery is planned it is not necessary to bag the wool unless at the request of the purchaser. If it Is packed In a clean wagon box and a canvas is thrown over the top It can be delivered in desirable condition. IF YOUR HORSE HAS B0TS. Get After These Pests Bofor They In jure Animal Beyond Remedy. Take a piece of soft cloth or waste moistened with coal oil and rub over the legs and shoulders of horses infest ed with bot eggs or nits; otherwise, writes E. T. Baker, veterinarian, Idaho experiment station, the horse licks the eggs off his body, the saliva dissolves the shell of the egg, the larva is swal' lowed and develops In the stomach. Few persons realize how much dam age bots really cause to a horse. Each bot is firmly attached to the stomach wall, and after they drop off the small puncture develops into an ulcer that does not heal. Prevention is better than cure. Care of Brood Mares. Brood mares should, of course, be well sheltered both in summer and winter, but not to the exclusion of plenty of sunlight, fresh air and exer cise. Handle them carefully and feed intelligently. Give the mare a mini mum of corn and a maximum of pro tein bearing feed, such as oats, bran and alfalfa. When she is not work ing let her have the run of a pasture or lot with an open shed to protect her from heat or sudden storms. For Breeders of Trotter. Some knowledge jf the law of heredi ty will prove of great value to any breeder of trotting stock who is ambi tious to succeed in producing trotters that will prove money winning cam paigners. Tlie more such knowledge a breeder possesses the greater will be his chances of success. American Cul tivator 8tabling the Horse. It Is a great mistake to make parti tions between horse stalls too short The animals are apt to back out and kick each other. Better be a little too long than an inch too short A wide stall Is dangerous. The horse may He down and try to roll and get cast Five feet will bit It about right Broad back and square shoul ders are marks of a good sire. You can keep 100 sheep on fifty acres of good land. Too little value is generally placed on first class males. A noted breeder of sheep once re fused to fell his best ram for $1,000 and when asked why re plied that he could not afford to sell such un animal unless he was ready to go out of the busi ness of breeding. On high priced land the price of wool should be a secondary consideration. The lambs should be depended on for the principal profit. Let the ewes have the run of the cornfields after the grain is taken out. They will get lots of good feed there. Sheep and other nervous ani mals which are being fattened 'for market should be kept as quiet as possible or their feed will not do thera the most good. The more you handle the live stock In a gentle and confiding way the better they will do. EVER TRY MILK GOATS? Some Folks Consider Their Milk Bet ter Than That of Cows. Having noticed in the journals de voted to rural and suburban life a number of articles on the milk goat I wish to .add a bit of my own ex perience, as it may help others who are trying to solve the vexing ques tion of the high cost of living, says a correspondent of the American Ag riculturist. The keeping of milk goats will cut the high cost of living of one very im portant item, and that Is milk. Milk to be good and wholesome should be free of tuberculosis, and that i an ailment that the goat is not subject to. The milk is equal to, and I con sider it better than, the best of cow milk. The cost of keeping goats where you have to buy all the feed is about 5 cents a day per . head. Sis months of the year the cost is practically noth ing if you have a lawn or some back land where the grass grows, as that will keep them very nicely. No grain Is necessary when they can have all the grass they want Goats should not be tethered on the same spot two days In succession. It Is better to give them about eight feet of rope or light chain and shift them once a day. A goat that will give two and a half quarts a day Is considered a very good one. Of course there are those that give more, but they are fewer than those that give less. The Togge'n burg and Saanen breeds are considered the best milkers adapted to American climates. CH00SIMG BREEDING STOCK. Give the Calf Water. After the third month the calf will begin to want extra water, and some may be mixed with the milk- Some Points to Remember When Se lecting Cows and Bulfs. In selecting dairy cattle the real test must be the scales and. the Babcock tester. The cow Is a machine to con vert food into milk; thus she must have a large middle and a strong constitu tion to insure best results. She must also have a large udder, large milk wells, large crooked milk veins and good sized teats. Her head should be lean and angular iu appearance, with the eyes standing out prominently. The neck should be rather long and lean in appearance, the shoulders pointed and the backbone rather prominent The skin should be loose and soft to the touch. In selecting herd bulls either mature animals which have already demon strated their worth as sires or younger animals from high testing dams and sires only should be used. The best and surest results will always follow the use of a mature sire which has sired heifers with good records. A good dairy bull should be kept until he is twelve or fifteen years oli in fact, us long as he is a sure sire. Real good sires are so rare that when we do find one he should die only of old age. Ail breeders of dairy cattle should se cure yearly tests on each and every cow in the herd. Shorter tests do not really mean very much. It is the cow that stays by her job that is really valuable. V J. Kennedy, Iowa Ex periment Station. Keep Hogs Free From Worms. It is a matter of general belief that In very many cases hog cholera Is not hog cholera, says the Kansas Farmer. In other words, when hogs die they are generally said to be taken off with cholera, when the facts are that it was worms, and one of our Missouri read ers states that in his neighborhood a considerable number of pigs and shotes were lost, but as the old bogs did not sicken and die they made an Investiga tion and found that it was not cholera, as they had supposed, but that the hogs were suffering from worms. There can be no doubt that intestinal worms are the source of very severe losses, and. as they give rise to symp toms similar In some respects to those of cholera, the hogs that die from worms are very often thought to have contracted the cholera, when a little care on the part of the owner In ad ministering ,worin remedies would have sTtved them. Helping Out the Corn Ration. The good sound corn you are feeding those pigs to pet them In shape for market will produce far better growth and larger financial return if yon add to It onetenth ns much tankage or oilme.il. This will balance the ration and five most economical returns.
