The United States government, '| through its bureau of animal industry, is trying to preserve the Morgan horse of half a century ago and also estab: lish a type of carriage horse distinctly American. While the importation of horses from foreign countries contifi- ing carried on in different parts of the country. The Morgan farm is at Mid- A MOBGAN STALLION. lébury, Wt., and experiments also are being mafle at the Colorado State Agri- cultural 'eollege. Only two:.crops of foals have been ob- tained in the Morgan work. The aim | :at the Vermont farm is to preserve 'the Morgau ype Bt its best, keeping the splendid conformation, spirit and endurance for which these horses were famous and eHmimating the tendency to courseness, heavy withers and low backs. A .careful effort will also be 'made to improve 'the action by getting away from the choppiness and irregu- | larity in gait apdjparticularly to elim- | inate the wendemcy to pace and mix | gaits. 3 Horses Values Keeping Up. The Western Horseman says: Horse values in the eouatry, right out in the farming and borse breeding districts, mre but little short of prohibitive, the purchase of a mice driver, carriage { borse or farm team requiring a "roll of money" the like of which a few years ago would haye answered for "firstpayment" on a good quarter sec- tion farm. And yet some brood mare .owners say they "can't pay the price" to breed to good, fair stallions. Think & ho SHEEP NOTES, EET de Points by a Breeder on the Care.

Stagnant pools. are great disease breeders, and the flock should be kept away from them. Place salt where the sheep can lick it each day. apd sore spots around the eyes. You may thus be able to save the lives of some sheep. If you have a weed field or a patch they will clean it up. Keep some of the lambs every year and sell off a number of the oldest ewes and all that are unprofitable. 1f you don't your flock will soon run down. grass. pasture and breed maggots. When you buy a ram be certain that hehas good blood. A scrub will breed fleece of every sheep will be loaded down with burs. Have some kind of shelter for the sheep in the summer. A shed opening to the morth will furnish shade. Trees with widespfeading branches furnish luxuriant shade for the sheep in the heat of the day. Remedy For Lamb Cholera. A" writer in the National Stockman and Farmer says of a recent visit he made to a big sheep farm: Inquiring | the meaning of certain little bottles on a shelf near the watering place, ¥ was told that was the femedy for the lamb cholera, or cholera infantum, or what- ever it is that takes the big fat lambs, and takes them so guickly. When a lamb {s seen foaming it the mouth and struggling as if in the grasp of the furies a hurry run is made for this place. To ten drops of sulphuric ether is added a little water, and it is pour- ed down the lamb as quickly as posst ble and gives relief in almost every case. Whenever this trouble breaks out common baking soda is added to the feed of the lambs and proves a sure preventive. This information was of great value to me, for on reach- ing home I found a heavy draft horse had been sick every day during my absence. Soda was at once added to his feed, and there has been no trouble since, Lambing Data. ' The time that elapses between serv- $e¢ and lambing runs from 145 to 150 days. About 147 days will catch the great majority. As in mares, the males dre carried slightly longer than the females. Old ewes, say from four to six years, will produce the most lambs and will gave the most. There are more single lambs produced by young ewes than by older ones. THE VETERINARY g!

The most insidious enemies of the average hog raiser are lice and 'worms.
