Cotswold ewes from the Hock of C. E. Ladd, Portland. Oregon, showing 

 the vigor and thrift of sheep wlieii under environment which favoi's them, 

 such as the Willamette Valley, in that state. 



Selected heads to show the characteristic form of this part in the breeds 

 represented. The one to the left is photographed from the head of a Cots- 

 wold ram owned by Messrs. Geo. Harding & Sou, of Waukesha, Wisconsin. 

 This photograph shows the beautiful forelock desired in representatives of 

 this breed. The head shown in the upper right hand corner is that of an 

 imported Shropshire ram lamb owned by Craig & Stevenson, Rice Lake, Wis. 

 The head shown shows not only a very complete covering, but also much 

 width between the eyes and across the forehead, while the cars are well 

 placed being far apart. The photograph of the black faced ram's head which 

 appears in the center Is taken from Scott's " Black Faced Sheep," and it rep- 

 resents the head of "Seventy-Two," first prize winner at the Highland and 

 Agricultural Society Shows, 1883 to 18a5. The horn illustrates the type which 

 Is sought in representatives of any of the horned breeds.
