Preparing the Flock For Exhibition at Fall Fairs, Before starting to fit his breeding flock or portion thereof for show pur- poses the amateur breeder and fitter should become thoroughly familiar with the breed type and conformation of thé sheep he Is handling, says J. M. Jones in the Orange Judd Farmer. The breeder should make certain that all the sheep that he Intends to exhibit in the pure bred classes are properly registered and that the certificates can be produced, becsuse most fair asgo- cintions make the provision that the judge can call for registry certificates, Once in awhile grades are shown in pure bred classes, but (this is a prac- tice not to be encouraged, as such methods will be surely discovered 8soon- er or later. In showing a mutton sheep mutton conformation is 2a. The animal must possess the type characteristic of that particular bi For example in the Shropshire want a sheep possessing the typleaj Shropshire head. There must be no Horns or scurs on the Shropshire, ag the best Spertaci #re without them. Good Judges will place Shropshires possessing scurs at the bottom of the class. Every mutton sheep, no matter what breed, the de- sired points are the cléan cut head, de- noting quality; short, thick neck, length of body, wide, thick loin, strong back, carried well out to tail head; The Shropshire is one of the most popular and widely distributed breeds of sheep. ut doubt thére are more Shropshires in this cointry than any other English breed. They have also Bone into every sheep growing country in the World® Specimens of this breed have been made to and the meat is of delicious flavor.

The fine weth- er shown wus a prize winner last fall thighs well filled and wide; low in twist, straight underline and fine, dense fleece. if you are planning on showing breeding ewes at the fall fairs the lambs should be wenned early so that their mothers can be rounded into good condition. The ewes will not make satisfactory gains while suck- ling their lambs, is a common word among shifep men, and it weans nothing more than put- the ewe on to good feed and Bringing into good condition before be- ing bred again, Rape is an exceilent food for bringing about this result, and | no Sheep grower should be without 2 tape SL By thé lambs info show con dition the sume general suggestions as were @ipplied to the breeding ewes may "Flushing the ewe" | -ont with more (vigos. It is charged against American farmers that lu the production of pure bred draft horses they have big horses, and stinted uy even if pure bred, will notifil] the bill. The Percheron stallion shown is a pure bred and weighed about a ton when photographed. bined with a lively spirit the seeker | after a good horse may congratulate himself on having found one. The loins and back should be broad, the chest deep, the ribs close and deep, the hind quarters and limbs espeélally powerful and well niuscled. The legs should be of good length down to the hocks.and knees-and short below those Joints. The shoulders need mot be quite as sloping as is desirable in the lighter breeds, but it ig a bad fault for them to err in the other direction and be too straight. There should be plen- ty of width between the fore legs and room for the heart to work in. No part of the horse's anatomy is more important than the feet. This Is especially so with the draft horse be cause his great weight and the strains incident to heavy hauling open up the way to many chances of injury to them. The structure of the feet com- prises some very delicate bones and nerves, and the outer covering which protects these should he strong, fairly sloping, free from shelliness and rough corrugations. There exists a strong prejudice against light colored hoofs which experience has shown to be well grounded. The foot should be large in proportion to the size and weight ot the animal. In horses intended for fast work the long. springy and sloping pastern is desirable, as conducive to light and speedy action, but for the heavy draft breeds a medium in these respects must be looked for as insuring greater strength. The hocks, having much to endure strength of the hind quarters, must be examined with much care. They are the seat of many of the most common and digeased such These, together with strains and en largements of back sinews and of ten- dons, are among the diseased condi tions quite possible of detection by keen observation and by handling Their presence should at once preclude any idea of using an animal affected with any of them for breeding pur poses. Soundness of wind and of eye sight are, of course, indispensable. BATHING A PRINCE. Thomas S§moaker "Seen His Duty and He Done It." George 1V. while prince and resid- ing in his Brighton palace kept in his bedroom a portrait of Mrs. Gunn, an old bathing wowan who used to dip him into the little Prince of Wales. A picture book much prized by children in England in those days showed the old lady bathing the little fellow. BeReath the picture wis this stanza: To Brighton came he, Came George the Third's son, To be dipped in the sea By the famed Martha Gunn. A companion portrait to Martha Gunn's was that of Thomas Smoaker, who had charge of the. horse which drew the bathing machines into and out of the sea. One day the little royal having 'learned to swim, swam out farther than Thomas jndged to be safe.
