Sheep Breeding for Profit.
Increased vigor and development usually,
perhaps invariably, result from crossing
breeds, and this Improvement is greatest
where a highly-bred male is coupled with
females of Inferior breeding. This is so
well understood in England that the most
of their mutton sheep are cross-bred. ; The
Leicester ram is used with Cheviot Ewes,
and the Downs with Cotswolds ami Leices
ters. In this country our so-called "na
tive" ewes give profitable returns when
mated with almost any pure-bred ram of a
mutton breed, the best results being ob
tained when the right sort of a Down ram
is used. But in the next cross only half as
much improvement is obtained, and so on
with succeeding generations. With each
succeeding generation the necessity for a
thoroughbred male increases. While a
cross-bred male might have done we!! In
the first instance, he would be an injury
afterward, and would cause a retrogression
in the progeny. When ewes arc
saved until they become three-fourths
or seven-eights pure. tney should
then be crossed with a pure ram
of some other breed to obtain the best re
sults. For profit, there is nothing better
than the annual renewal of the liock of
breeding ewes. A proper selection of na
tive ewes will give greatly improved lambs
by a Downs rain, and by good feeding they
can go to the butcher at a profit, soon after
their lambs have given a return of 150 or
200 per cent, upon the original cost of the
Cock. This can be repeated year after
year, but, while this may be the ilocknias
ter'srule, he should modify it solar as to
retain such ewes as are of special value,
either because of their individual excel
lence or the remarkable resemblance of
their lambs to the pure-bred sire, or their
superior milking qualities. To furnish the
males for this system it is necessary that
there should be a sufficient number of pure
bred Hocks in the country to supply the de
mand. The proper breeding and care of
Mich Hocks requires more expense and skill
than most fanners can give, and they can
much better afford to pay a reasonably high
price for a pure-bred ram from a flock of
known quality than to attempt to breed him
themselves or to j>;cept a cross-bred ram as
a gift.
Economy in Feeding:*
It is a common expression that a certain
animal on the farm does not eat much, and
this is considered as an advantage. Just
the opposite should be desired. In feeding
animals the desideratum is the conversion
of food into meat, milk or butter, and the
greater the feeding capacity of the animal
the greater its usefulness, provided it assim
ilates its food. Like any other machine
the animal is intended to manufacture the
raw product into a commercial commodity,
and the more of the raw product it uses the
better. We must not overlook the fact,
however, that some animals do not givo as
good results on the same quantity of food
as others, and it is there that tho farmer
must look. lie will then learn that some
thing depends upon the kind of animal he
uses, exactly as any manufacturer is af
fected in his production by the kind of ma
chine he uses. Some machines will perform
twice as much service as others with the,
same power, but with a first-class machine
he will not object to the power, if its ca
pacity requires it to be great. An animal
should be required to give equally as good
results for its care as the machine does to
the manufacturer. It is business, and does
not pay unless conducted on the most eco
nomical system. Economy of feeding is
that method which uses only those animals
that are capable of digesting and assimilat
ing large quantities of food — larger the
better—and the animal that eats but little
and produces accordingly should be dis
carded.
Blood Will Tell.
There is such a thing as getting what is
known among horsemen as staying qualities
by using thoroughbreds as breeders. We
have noticed among farm animals that
where there was one among them with a
streak of thoroughbred blood in his veins
he showed more endurance than any other
horse on the place. The same is shown by
the following recital of circumstances and
conclusions by the Michigan Farmer:
"The continued clamor that is being
raised against the. use of thoroughbred
blood in the trotter has silenced many who
positively believe that extraordinary speed
and lasting power can only be attained by
its use. After the recent trial of Maud S
at Cleveland, where she trotted a mile in
3:08%, a reporter of the New York Tribune
interviewed Mr. Bonner, her owner. In
that interview Mr. Bonner is reported
to have said that he considered it
a wonderful performance and pointed
oat that the first quarter was trotted in
a 2:11 gait, the second quarter at a 2:00
gait, making tho half-mile at a rate of 2:09,
yet, notwithstanding, this great flight of
speed, she went the third quarter around a
turn and over a track that was slow at the rate
2:04. In this connection he said that it was of
the four-mile running blood that is in her
veins that stayed her up Cor such a perform
ance, lie asserts that thoroughbred blood
is an essential in a speedy and game trotter,
and attributed Jay Eye See's great abilities
thereto. He added that neither Hants nor
Dexter were comparable to Maud S. lie
said that, speaking within bounds, she could
trot in 2:08, and that his brother, David
]>onner. believed her capable of a mile be
tween 9:07 and 2:08. He believed that she
could do better at Rochester, Chicago or
Providence than at Cleveland. Mr. Bonner
has, for over twenty years, been experiment
ing with trotters, during which time he has
been the owner of some of the most noted
animals known, and the strong and em
phatic terms in which he declares himself in
favor of a large preponderance of thorough
bred blood in the trotting horse is very sig
nificant. It shows the conclusions arrived at
lind based upon over twenty years of observa
tion and actual experience. His opinions
were evidently those held by the late Count
Orloff, the founder of the Orloff family of
trotters in Russia. With the exception of
the use of a Danish and Dutch mare early
in the history of the breed, from whom
■were bred the sires he used in his expe
rience, every particle of blood in them
comes from the thoroughbred. English
thoroughbred mares were used entirely to
breed to the Orloff stallions, and not until
he secured the form, speed, courage and
endurance he was after did he cease using
them. The use of outside blood in his
early experiments was simply to secure
better shoulder action, as neither in form,
style or general characteristics aid these
mares represent or approach the standard
he was breeding to. The day is past when
Bloped-rumped, long-backed nondescript is
deemed a lit animal to breed to secure trot
ters. The winning trotting strains here
after will be those in which there is a very
generous admixture of thoroughbred blood
coming from the sons and daughters of
Messenger, Diomed and American Eclipse."
The Farm Workshop.
No farmer can afford to bo without a
workshop of some description. It does not
pay to drive off to town for every little
breakage that might just as well be repaired
at home. The time lost is usually by tar
the greatest item to be considered in con
nection with this subject, but the actual
cash outlay for these trifling repairs amounts
tip considerably in the course of a year.
Twenty-live cents is a small sum, to be
sure, but where it comes three or four times
a week, it amounts to a snug little sum in
the course of a year, and would purchase a
a great many comforts for the family,
if saved to them, as it should be on N every
farm.
A man has no idea what he can do with a
set of tools until he has tried. There ara
dozens of little odd jobs that he has been in
the habit of hiring done that by a little ex
perience with the use of suitable appliances
lie can easily do himself.
"Oh, but 1 haven't time to bother with
such things," says the farmer. Yes yon
have time to bother with them, too; and
they will save you time and money besides
your investment. I never saw a farmer yet
so busy that he could not find a few hours
every week for such work if ho chose to
avail himself of the privilege. There are
odd hours and rainy days on every farm,
and it not well employed they often play
the mischief. Rainy days beget idleness,
and idleness all manner of evil. Such light
work under cover is a change, and rests
both mind and body. It sets a man to
thinking, and anything that .sets a man to
thinking is good for him. One little im
provement suggests another. . After he has
made a good tool out of a bad one, or cre
ated a labor-saving contrivance of any sort
for the house or farm, he feels amply repaid
for the little labor expended, and encouraged
to carry his Improvements into other
branches of work. A man is then led to
plan and calculate as to the best labor-sav
ing methods of work and to create the
means for easily and quickly dispatching
his work. So I say he can spare th<* time
for such work in the shop, for it saves him
time in the end.
It is an excellent thing for the boys, too,
on the farm. It is too often the case that
boys grow upon the farm with no knowledge
of the use of the most common wood-work
ing tools. If not taught or allowed to learn
when young the use of these tools, his awk
ward and unaccustomed hands seldom ac
quire the necessary skill later on in life
when they feel the need of it.
, There is hardly a boy in a dozen but has a
fondness for using tools, and takes pride in
creating something through their aid and
use. Encouraged a little at this favorable
period he will usually develop a fair degree
of .'kill or ingenuity.
The cost of a sot of common carpenter
tools is now so small that almost any boy
can buy them with his pocket money. The
farmer can certainly afford the lew needed
tools. Let him get them a few at a time if
he cannot get them all at once. A vice,
planes, bits, chisels, saws, square, level,
hammer and ax should come first, and the
others as fast as possible. A small forge
and anvil with a few common blacksmith
tools should also be added to the list event
ually. A room off the woodshed or con
nected with the building where farm tools
are stored will do for the shop. It can
have a little heater for winter so that the
leisure time of that season may be comfort
ably eniploved. By all means have a work
shop on the farm. —W. D. Boynton in
Northwestern Farmer.
TJie Jr'arniors' SJieej*.
F. D. Curtis, Chariton county, Missouri,
in an article in the Country Gentleman de
scribes a crossbred sheep, which he has
bred, as follows:
1 have a family of sheep which have boon
bred in Chariton fora number of years, and
really have been the most profitable sheep
in the town, as the lambs have sold tiie
highestat from 81 to $5 each, turned off
in .July and August, or when four or live
months old. They were sold to the local
butchers, and were reared without much
extra food. Clover hay and clover pasture
were the staple foods. These sheep, which
1 have named the "farmers' sheep," are a
cross of Southdown and Cotswold upon the
native blood, which was partly Merino. The
grosses of Cotswold and Southdown have
been so direct and the latter so often, that
these sheep resemble the Southdowns more
than anything else, but the fleeces are
longer and heavier. These sheep I have
also crossed upon the Oxford-downs, to in
crease the size of body and the length and
weight of fleece. The body is in excellent
form, square and broad, and the legs are
short. I shall also try a "dash" (as the
British breeders say) of Merino, to thicken
the fleece. Here is work for a lifetime,
and it it is just what we want to establish —
a perfect farmers' sheep, combining mutton
and wool in their most desirable and profit
able forms; such a flock of sheep that
would produce lambs which would weigh
from forty to forty-live pounds, dressed, at
4 or 5 months of age, and shear, on an av
erage, ten pounds of wool, would pay well
in Vermont, or anywhere. Sheep some
where near this standard can be bred by
crossing the Cotswold or Leicester on the
Merino, 1 have crossed the Leicester on
the Merino and produced good sheep, and
others have done the same thing with the
Cotswolds. They will not, however, breed
uniform, but revert back to the original
blood.
Tiie Key to tlie Whole System.
If one will observe how nature provides a
succession of crops, a rotation, in fact, of
pines after hard woods and of hard woods
after pines, he may leant the necessity of
following this example of nature and of
himself practicing a regular rotation of
crops. And the farmer is bound to practice
this natural law of rotation, and in the
practice the lugumlnous crops play a most
important part. Then we have to consider
where clover or peas, which are the most
useful of these crops, come in to the best
advantage. And as a rule it must be just
preceding the most exacting crop. With
some farmers this is wheat, with some it; is
corn, and with some one of these is as im
portant as another. But clover comes
in just at this point, and, in fact,
it is the key to the whole of the
rotation. All that is to be considered then,
is how to got it in, because, as a rule, the
clover is sown down with the wheat, Where
peas are a successful crop there is no
trouble, because peas can precede wheat,
clover can follow it, oats or barley can fol
low clover, roots or potatoes can follow the
oats or barley, and peas can follow the
roots. Where corn is grown this can fol
low clover or a mixture of grass and clover:
roots can follow com, oats or barley can
follow roots, clover can be sown down with
these grains, and wheat can follow the
clover, and clover and timothy can be sown
with the wheat, or grass of some kind
alone. In the one rotation there will be
five crops and in tlie other eight. We men
tion roots because this crop is as indispensi
ble as clover for its beneficial effect in clean
ing the soil of weeds, and this operation is
as absolutely necessary to good farming as
good soil and good culture are. —New York
Times.
Shorthorns mid XScreforsls.
I own to a decided partiality to Shorthorn
cattle, but I do not consider myself a preju
diced man, because it is rare that I sell any
thing for breeding purposes save upon what
the animal shows itself to be to fanners
who would buy one breed as quick as an-
Other if the animal and price suited equally
well. Most of the use I have for cattle is
the butter and milk they supply and the
stock of calves I raise for beef; and because
the Shorthorns please me for this ordinary
use is why lam partial to them. But, as I
said before, I do not consider myself a
prejudiced man, and if there are any better
cattle than Shorthorns for my fanning pur
poses I want them, as soon as 1 find out
what that breed is. But so far I must say
I have seen nothing better than the Short
horns, although I have been giving atten
tion to what is being said' in favor of the
Herefords and Polled breeds. I have read
some articles urging the fanners to buy
Hereford bulls to cross on Shorthorn cows
and telling that they would get nice steers
in that way; and I do not doubt that nice
steers would be the result. So far as I have
seen, good steers are got no matter what
you cross on a Shorthorn cow, or what you
cross a Shorthorn bull on. I have got nice
steers crossing the Shorthorn bail on native
cows, and once a scrub bull broke into my
I pasture, got three of mv Shorthorn cows in
; calf, and twojof them had bull calves, which
! also made good .steers. And I thought it
was the Shorthorn blood which did it both
times. Now, sir, I want to see "every
tub stand on its own bottom," and
| 1 want to hear what these breeds
j can do by themselves before I abandon the
| Shorthorns for any of them. Farmers who
! have Shorthorn cows do not have to buy
S other kinds of bulls to get good steers, for
I they will get good steers anyway from such
| cows, no matter what crosses they make,
I provided, of course they feed the calves
'. after they come. And then it seems to me
I there is being very little said about the Here
j ford cows, and I want to know why fann
ers are not urged to buy Hereford cows to
use Hereford bulls on. If the Hereford bulls
are better than the Shorthorn bulls, why is
it not also true that Hereford cows are bet
ter than Shorthorn cows? If the breed is
r»nt un;.fj»r. I cammt undacshuu] bow th«
THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 188 a— TWELVE PAGES.
bulls can be. And if the breed is better in
itself, 1 cannot understand why so much is
said about the great things to be Rained by
using it as a cross upon Shorthorns, and so
little recommendation about it otherwise.
Then here is another thing: If we fanners
are to fall in with this idea of buying Here
ford bulls to use on Shorthorn cows to get
good steers, I want to know how we can
keep up our stock of Shorthorn cows by
using Hereford bulls. Part of the calves at
least will be heifers, of which we must
raise enough to supply the places of the
aging cows and keep the ranks of the herd
full: and after a little while, instead of
having herds of Shorthorn cows we will
have herds of cross-breds, mongrels or
grades. And what will we do then to get
nice steers? Will we reverse the rule we
have been induced to follow and use Short
horn bulls to breed back to where we started
from? Can we ever get back, and would it
not have been wiser never to have left the
tried ground until we were certain of some
other equally solid foundation upon which
to rest ourselves?
I have no <ftr|fbt these other cattle are
good cattle. If I hud them I might be as
well satisfied with them as with the Short
horns, and possibly they may be even bet
ter. But it does seem to me that whatever
they are they should be kept as pure as
possible, and those who have them should
be encouraged to breed them as closely and
deeply as possible to the thoroughbred line
of their own sort. And likewise that those
j who have Shorthorn blood should be en
couraged to deepen and strengthen that
blood in their herds, and not be induced to
breed away to other sorts. It seems un
wise to fill the country with mixtures and
mongrels, when the friends of each breed
by sticking to their sort could shortly sup
plant the present native stocks with cattle
of the various breeds practically thorough
bred. Then tanners would see whether
one was better than another, and without
any disputing or biekreing we could all
go in for the best. —Farmer, in Breeders'
Gazette.
Take Care of rite Horses.
There is probably nothing on the farm
that receives as little judicious care and at
tention to their actual wants as the horse,
considering their importance.
Horses need rest, and should not be
worked so steadily as some farmers do.
The same work which strains the same
muscles every cay from the beginning of
the season to the end, must grow monoton
ous and very tiresome for the horse, and a
few days rest at different intervals would
greatly benefit the horse and do him won
derful good. It would pay to keep an
extra horse and change about, and not use
the same horse throughout the season witn
out any rest or change.
The rearing of draft horses is becoming a
very extensive and valuable industry, and
is rapidly gaining ground every year among
our enterprising fanners. It is readily seen
that a good horse would not eat any more
than a poor one, but certainly the result ac
complished when good horses are kept is
j far better in every respect, and is an im
portant item which farmers should not over
look, for both the horses and their offsprings
will sell for a higher price at any time, be-
Bides being a more valuable help on the
farm.
Of course the importers of these superior
horses make large profits on their work, but
they are entitled to it,for it is a lasting ben
efit, and will gradually grow and increase
until all ths horses of this country are more
or less improved by the introduction of
these large, superior breeds.
The high prices which these horses com
mand shows how popular they have already
become, but even these high-priced horses
are not always treated as carefully as they
should be. The feed and care these horses
receive has everything to do with their con
stitutional vigor, and strength.
As a rule it is probably true that farm
ers feed their horses more recklessly than
they do other kinds of stock. The first
thing to accomplish'in feeding horses, or
other animals is health, and the next thing,
with the horse, Is to develop muscle. Do
not feed too much corn, especially in sum
mer, as it is too fattening in its effects. It
furnishes heat and is excellent in winter
when the horses are not working very hard.
Of course it is very desirable to have
the horses look nice, but looks are secondary
to good health and usefulness every time,
and whenever we feed for looks, and try to
keep the horses sleek and fat, we are very
likely neglecting the properties of utility
and health.
The change from dry food to pasture
should be made gradually and cautiously
with brood marcs in foal. The foal will be
affected more than the mother by this
change and it is therefore of great import
ance for the welfare of both. Jt is a good
plan to allow mares in foal to have freedom
of the pasture held early, and a lew weeks
before they drop their colts.
Importations.
It Is well and truthfully said by an ex
change that the trade in draught stallions
has never been better than this year, and
that the man in this business who complains
of dull times can blame himself for not con
ducting his business properly or not adver
tising his goods. Three, four, and even'
five years ago many of the faint-hearted
breeders imagined that the business would
be overdone in another year or two at most.
Instead of this being the case the demand
has always kept in advance of the supply
and probably will for many years to come.
Farm Motes*
■ rrof. Williams of Edinburg, at the Bath
gate show dinner, gave the following ad
vice to breeders of draft horses: "it would
be well if breeders would give their stallions
a few hours daily work in the winter, and
not feed them so highly. By such liberal
and nutritive feeding as they are generally
accustomed to during the idle moments of
winter, the animals become overloaded with
fat." He denounces the practice of attach
ing heels to the shoes of young horses.
This, he holds, tends, while the foot is
growing, to cause sidebone or ringbone.
He recommends that all young horses be
shod with very light, plain shoes.
If the Western Agriculturist speaks ad
visedly, the following little note taken from
its columns speaks well for the stability of
the business of rearing draft horses: "The
draft horses have materially increased the
value of the horses of this country, and for
the past twenty years draught horses arc
almost the only stock or agricultural product
not affected by the depression of money
matters. No matter how hard the times
are, the draft horses, whether grades or full
bloods, command a uniformly high price,
because tiie great demand is larger than the
supply. The horses of the United States
are worth, according to the report of the
department of agriculture. $552,252,000,
and the mules are worth -5103,494,000.
There was less shrinkage in values of horses
during the past year than in any other class
of live stock."'
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The New Orleans Fair.
To the Editor of the Globe:
When the project of restoring the state
exhibit at the New Orleans exposition was
first suggested it met with little favor, be
cause the continuance of the exposition it
self was regarded not in its true light, as
an effort to bring to completion under favor
ing auspices a gigantic affair of national im
portance only begun last winter under
great disadvantages, but rather as an at
tempt to galvanize into new life a dead ex
position that had run its course.
Your editorial this morning is an indica
tion of what has been apparent for several
days past, that, as the facts regarding the
exposition are becoming better known,
well informed and public spirited citizens
are coming to the conclusion that in order to
hold our own and fairly round up the state
representation made last winter, Minnesota
should standby the exposition and maintain
its exhibit. The only danger just now is
that the money necessary for the purpose
may not be secured or guaranteed in time
to do the necessary work of replenishing
the exhibit by the collection of the
new products of the season
and the getting together of the scattered
things that were loaned to the exhibit be
fore and have been returned to their owners
in various parts of the state, as well as new
novelties and attractions that should be
added. I had rather stay out of the expo
sition than go in lame. The exposition
opens Nov 10. The goods will need to be
shipped out of the state by the middle of
October. It is absolutely necessary that
with my assistants I should work the state
fairs and the other leading fairs this week
and next.
Tho aibiatiaa ia therefore critical.' Unlfiss
somebody In St. Paul ami Minneapolis will
take hold of this matter and give mo some
encouragement before the state fair is over
that the funds will be eventually raised, so
that we can go to work at once, the pros
pect is that our citizens will have the
mortification .of seeing the North
Star hauled down from its position where
it now shines as the highest; object to be
seen in the government building, and our
rivals, after moving dp on both sides, oc
cupying our space and using for their ex
hibits the 80,000 worth of immovable prop
erty and decorations we left there, dancing
a war dance of exultation over tho absence
of an exhibit that last winter outshone
them all. Nebraska and Dakota are quietly
■watching to see whether we wake up in
time to get there in full feather again, and
lowa, besides having already increased her
space by the addition of 5,000 feet on the
left of us, is ready to divide with Nebraska
on the other side the space and assets of
absent Minnesota.
If it is to come to this, nobody can hereaf
ter blame me for it. At the expense
of some misconstruction of my motives
1 have steadily kept this matter before the
public, and breasted the opposition of a great
interest that has deemed its plans jeopar
dized by further; expenditures for outside
expositions, and shall be content to leave
the matter in whatever shape it may now
drift into.
His excellency, the governor of Minne
sota, some time ago wrote to the exposition
authorities requesting . that our former
spac.e be reserved for us and notified them
of my reappointment as commissioner. Jus
tice to them requires that the space be im
mediately surrendered if we are not going
to use it. ;'.;•■
I am offered a position as an officer of
the exposition, if my services are not re
quired with a state' exhibit, but shall be
glad to recommend in my stead any other
Minnesotian of suitable character and tit
ness who is ambitious to spend the winter
at the exposition raid answer the questions
that will bo asked about the resources and
attractions of a state that has no object les
sonsjjon hand to "prove up on." My address
in that case is likely to be below the frost
line; headquarters, a fishing shack on the
gulf coast of Florida.

An Injustice to Poor Men.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The board of water commissioners passed
on June 26, 1835, the following:
"Resolved, That no water be taken from
mains to fill cisterns uloug 1 the line of water
pipes, where said pipes are laid before Sept.
1, 1835.
This resolution looks innocent enough on
its face, but let us examine it. A poor man
has a lot on a street on which the pipes are
laid. He works for $1.50 a day, out of
which he must support his family and pay
for a sewer which is laid, or should be, in
all streets where there is water. The
sewer costs him $87.50. To make sewer
and water connections costs about $150.
making an outlay of about $237.50, and
because lie cannot afford to pay this sum he
must be cut off entirely from the benefit of
water. Every man is charged 10 cents per
foot on all streets upon which water pipes
are laid, and this should entitle him to have
his cistern filled if unable to pay for proper
connections. The commissioners labor
under. a mistake. They seem to believe
that they own the water works. They
should be taught that they are the servants
of the people, placed in the positions they
occupy for the purpose of giving our citi
zens all the advantages resulting from our
water system at the lowest price and with
the least annoyance. There is something
decidedly unsavory about the management
of our water works. Justice.
