Is hardly advisable to pack them iu sep

A bag containing n certain kind of
wool should be marked so that Its con

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

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.

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.

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.
