Saghalin for Sheep. —I was about 
giving- up raising sheep, when I heard 
of Saghalin, and hearing that it was 
grown at West Grove, Pa., I visited that 
place and was surprised to see the amaz- 
ing growth it had made so early in the 
season (five feet May 11 ). Cows, horses 
and pigs seemed to be crazy for it. I 
took some of this season's growth about 
three feet long with me, and my sheep 
ate it with relish. It will certainly pay 
to grow it for provender, as it will be 
ready to use in the spring before grass 
gets started. I was much interested in 
The R. N.-Y.’s article on Dwarf Essex 
rape and intend to try it also. p. c.

“ Treading” a Bull. — 8 ome bulls 
make a great fuss over learning to work 
in a tread-power. Mr. C. L. Hill tells 
the Breeder’s Gazette how he educated 
such an animal : 
If he was tied by his ring, he would break it or 
something else immediately. If he was tied 
around the horns or with a halter, he would hang 
back hard enough to stop it. If we put the cross¬ 
bar in behind him he would lie back on that. He 
would just as soon fall out as not. I gave it up 
several times, but early this spring I concluded 
he had to work. Thinking he might be afraid, I 
put him in and fed him there every day for three 
weeks. Then getting a new inch rope, I tied it 
around his neck, passing the end through his 
ring, and tied him short to the power. Putting 
the bowl in the separator so it would not start so 
quickly, I stood behind with a whip and said, 
“ go.” He tried every scheme he could think of 
the worst of all being scouring so as to make the 
power slippery. This was easily remedied by 
sprinkling sand on the power, being careful not 
to sprinkle any on the ends so it would get in the 
wheels. After three severe lessons, he started 
and has worked all right since. 
NATIONAL DELAINE SHEEP. 
A VETERAN BREEDER INTERVIEWED. 
Last winter being in the neighborhood 
of Rix’s Mills, Ohio, I interviewed Mr. 
Geo. Waddell, on the sheep industry. 
Mr. Waddell’s specialty is the National 
Delaine, and he gives the following terse 
account of the origin of this breed : 
“ There were two importations ; the 
Mead importation, 1802, and the Dickison 
importation, 1804. These were cross¬ 
bred by Mr. Russell of Pennsylvania, for 
25 years, and have been bred straight 
. since. They were first registered in 
1882, and the fifth volume of the register 
will be issued this summer. The founda¬ 
tion of my flock were purchased from 
Messrs. Russell & McNeary, of Penn¬ 
sylvania.” 
In reply to an inquiry, Mr. Waddell 
stated that he thought the indications 
good for a -revival of interest in the 
sheep industry. “Sheep, in the last 
three years, have decreased in value 
enormously. Three years ago, my entire 
flock were assessed $10 per head through¬ 
out; year before last $5 per head; and 
last year, $2.50 per head. There was a 
difference of more than $ 10,000 in this 
Single township, in the assessed valua¬ 
tion of sheep in the last two years. The 
result of these depreciations is that farm¬ 
ers are getting rid of their sheep as fast 
as possible ; and at no very distant day, 
if the rate of decrease keep up, there 
\\ ill be a greater demand for wool than 
the present stock of sheep will supply. 
Besides, I think the American public 
have never dressed better than they are 
dressing at present, and when the crisis ■ 
comes, as I think it will, the public will 
be loath to depart from wearing first- 
class clothes. In short, the public have 
been educated to wear good clothes, be¬ 
cause they are cheap, and when they be¬ 
come dear, the public will continue to 
wear them.” 
“ Do you find the Delaines a satisfac¬ 
tory breed ?” 
“ Yes, they are, to my mind, the near¬ 
est to perfection of any.” 
Mr. Waddell let out a couple of bucks 
from their quarters. -‘This three-year- 
old buck,” said he, “ will weigh 180 
pounds, I think, and I shall get 25 
pounds of wool from him in the spring. 
The two-year-old will weigh 100, and I’ll 
get 20 pounds or more from him ; 400 
fleeces averaged 10 pounds each last 
year ; a little the best showing in this 
township ; but of course many of them 
were from bucks.” 
I visited Mr. Waddell’s wool house, 
and found that he had quite a lot of 
unsold wool ; inquiring why he had not 
sold it, he replied that he had had an 
offer in the spring, of 14 cents for un¬ 
washed wool, but he had a curiosity to 
see how the tariff legislation then pro¬ 
posed, would affect the price. “ I made 
a mistake then, but I may gain some¬ 
thing in the long run,” said he. “I want 
to show you my foundation for a Dicki¬ 
son herd. Can you pick out the Dicki- 
scns from the Delaines ?” he asked. I 
confessed that the points of difference 
were invisible to me. But Mr. Waddell 
seemed to have no trouble in picking 
them out. “ That lamb ram yonder,” 
pointing to an insignificant looking 
thing, “beat everything in his class at 
the Canton, O., fair, and I bought him 
on the spot from McDowell. I wish to 
try the Dickisons, not because I think 
they are any better than the Delaines, 
but because I have some demand for 
Dickison rams that I may as well 
supply.” 
“Do you sell your twin lambs for 
breeding purposes ?” 
“ Yes, they will breed as well as any ; 
while it is a fact that heifers born twin 
with bull calves will not breed, it is not 
so with sheep. I never had but one ewe 
that would not breed ; I bought her for 
$25, and sold her for $6.” 
Mr. Waddell caught a yearling ramoD 
which he had tried some dishorning fluid, 
and we found that the horns had been 
killed. “Did you do it to stop fight 
ing ?” I asked. 
“Oh, no; only to increase his meat 
value. It is rather a mean trick to play, 
but when the butcher sees that he has 
no horns, I’ll get about a half more for 
him. I’ll not be able to fool the same 
butcher more than once, though. You 
see they pay more for ewes than for 
castrated rams, and he will be mistaken 
for a ewe ; but this is only one, and is 
intended merely as a joke on my favorite 
butcher.” 
“Are better prices paid for Delaine 
wool than for that from other breeds?” 
“ We generally get the same price for 
unwashed Delaine wool, that most others 
get for their XX washed.” j. j. d.
