GRANT, SUCCESS IN BREEDING SHEEP In this illustrated address on “The Mutton Breeds of Sheep” at the re- cent Winter Fairs, Mr. F. W. Hud- son. Live Stock Commisssoner. out- lined the principles essential to sue. coss in breeding live stock. There are, said be. four features of the live Stock business to which our people pay too little attention,viz., environ- ment, continuity, utility, and cross- mg. l l l' A man commencing business as a1 stock grower should carefully consid- er his enviroments. Is his farm besc suited to the production of horses, cattle. sheep or swine, and if so, what breeds are likely to give the: best results? He can only know this by making a careful study of conditions. In Britain we find that the enviroments have been carefully studied. and breeds developed that are best suited to the districts. The. British farmer is farming to makel money and not to satisfy a whim.‘ He has chosen females bred in the district that are best suited to the re- quirements of his soil and markets. and has carefully improved these by selection and the use of the proper sort of males. For this reason we find in Shrapshire only Shropshire sheep. In the north of England and the south of Scotland the Leicester families prevail. Further up in the hill country we find the Cheviots. and again in the higher and more barren hill country we find the High- land or Black Faced sheep. In other parts, particularly towards the south- weSt of England. we find the various classes of Downs, and so on. each breed having through successive ages proved beet suited to its district. What has been the practice of the Canadian farmer. generally speak- ing? Without regard to his enviro- mt-nt he has chosen something that caught his fancy and launched out as a breeder. The. next important principle is continuity. Here again we may learn a. lesson from British methods. The British farmer. having learned what his enviroments require, has continued year after year, generation after generation, producing the same family of the same breed. being ex tremely careful about infusing new blood. It is not an infrequent thing to find a farm on which Leicester sheep have been bred for prebaps fifty or a hundred years. nor is this true of Leicester's alone, but applies to all breeds of British live stock. Utility is another point that should always be foremost in the mind of the breeder. Why do we breed sheep? That they should produce the greatest quantity of the best quality of wool and mutton for feed consumed and care given. We may choose a suitable breed. and continue our efforts along the same line for a considerable period. yet if we do not keep in mind the utility of our animals. our efforts are likely to ‘ceme to nought. Too much attention L has been paid to fads and (stories. and not enough to the utility of the ani- Crossing is another feature of} breeding very much misunderstood in Canada. In Britain it means the selection of ewes and a. certain breed which are crossed with a male of an- other breed in order to produce market lambs, but the produce of this cross is never used for breeding pur- poses. For instance, Cheviot ewes are sometimes crossed with Down rams and sometimes with Wensley- ‘dsles or others of the Leicester fami- ly. in order to produce lambs with better feeding qualities and better selling qualities than the pure bred Cheviots. But in order to keep up a. constant supply of Chevret ewes a. certain number of the best ewes are mated with the best Cheviot rams.» These are kept for breeding purposes while the half-breeds are sold to the Lowland farmers for feeding pur- poses No British breeder thinks of using these cross-bred animals for breeding purposes. Why not? Be- esuse hundreds of yours experience hsve shown that good results esnnot . be obteined. To sum up, therefore, in order to obtain the best results environment must be studied, 'efiort must. be con- tinned along the one line. utility The Essential Principles Some British Methods. Keep them in the house. Take one when on feel bil- ious or dizzy: hex act dig A-nm ‘ on thé liver; TQM must always be kept in view. and? crossing must never be done. except i for a special purpose. and then the! offsnring must. always been fattened} and sold. If conducted in this wayi thc flocks of Canada will be fairly] established upon a proper basis, and I we shall receive the greatest profiti for feed consumed in the case of both wool and mutton. and Canadian mut-l ton will become as famous and as much in demand in the English 3 market as Canadian pork is to day.f No country in the world is capable oil producing better mutton sheep than i Canada. l By-law No.18“ for appointing auditors passed.
