The Best Breed of Sheep 
There is confidence in the future of 
sheep now. For four years the organized 
sheep men have been hammering, and the 
results begin to be pleasing. We never 
expect to feel helpless and stand supine 
again. So many write me'asking about 
the best breed to invest in, or change to. 
and The R. N.-Y. lets me speak my mind 
in reply to a Maryland subscriber. 
“Wottld it pay me better to keep 
Merino sheep? I find the Hampshires 
do not do well in a large flock. My sheep 
shear GLo lbs. and average a lamb and a 
half per ewe. Lambs bring $8 a bead in 
10 weeks, and the wool sold at 30c.” 
Well, I paid a dollar for a couple of 
chops in Baltimore a few weeks ago, so 
you hardly got your share, but producers 
are expected to he modest. 
Maximum success with the different 
breeds depends on the man, his experience 
And his markets for wool, mutton and 
lamb. I have handled almost every kind, 
in all classes of health and disease, but 
when I wanted to make a wool grower of 
my boy, and have him associated with 
the best thing on a farm to influence good 
character, I thought Merinos would fit 
us best for a permanent, flock of a few 
hundred in our locality. 
These llampshires brought $13.90 per 
ewe after the wool was a partial gift. 
Our lambs brought $S a head wheu a year 
old. after shearing. They clipped 10 lbs., 
which the association will sell above 50c. 
and the ewes will return the same. Wo 
are ahead on the gross, hut the lambs ate 
pasture six months and nice bay and 
grain for another six. In addition, there 
was some foot “scald” to doctor during 
Summer, and some tagging to do, because 
the blowflies like heavy wool when it gets 
moist or dirty. One point in favor of the 
fine sheep is that the package is not sc 
large if death threatens, nor the bread 
basket's capacity much over half as large. 
Here is the comparison of the two 
breeds in the different localities by two 
shepherds who are experts, lie tell? me 
in his letter that “sheep come natural to 
him from his experience across the big 
water.” My son has been associated with 
the kinds I formerly handled since he was 
big enough to hold a gate open. I re¬ 
mark that he does not talk as much as 
the writer, but his methods and judgment 
are better than mine ever were. In the 
test the llampshires are ahead for one 
reason at least. They are near the ocean, 
where so many people live and visit. 
Small numbers of any breed thrive best, 
but the fine ones will stand hunching bet- 
er than the coarse breeds. All thp differ¬ 
ent breeds of horses', cattle, sheep and hogs 
are good, but there are drawbacks and 
advantages with all of them. The worst 
trouble comes from inbreeding and mon¬ 
grel breeding. There is no known way 
to ward them off. but any seeming handi¬ 
caps among purebreds can be anticipated 
or relieved. The coarse wool men can 
divide up and keep a dozen or a score in 
more places and succeed. The worst 
drawback has been a dependence on 
Providence to care for sheep by the men 
who poured swill to their hogs when 
there was energy enough in them to get to 
the trough. 
Here is a bouquet for Hampshires: 
Hunter A augbn_ of Montgomery, Ala., 
took me to see his sheep. When we were 
looking at his full-blood Hampshire ewes 
and lambs, he said: “l will take 100 
ewes and any nlher man can take 100 
cotton mules, and in 10 years 1 will have 
all expenses and can buy his whole outfit.

Piping Water to Milkhouse 
"VYe possess a very fine spring, tempera¬ 
ture during the hot dry August of last 
year registering -IS degrees. The distance 
lrom this spring to onr milk house is 
about GO rods, with a fi-ft. fall. The 
water from this spring will fill a lLj-in. 
pipe easily. \\ ould it he possible to con¬ 
vey this water to our milk house without 
any appreciable loss in temperature? If 
so, at what depth would the pipe have to 
be laid? The soil is light and through an 
open field; no shade. D. tt.c. 
New York. 
Ion will have no difficulty in piping 
this spring water to your uiiik house by 
gravity. A 1-in. pipe should furnish suf¬ 
ficient water, and if permitted to run con¬ 
stantly should not warm the water to any 
great extent. As to depth. L* ft. would 
probably be sufficient if means of shutting 
the water off at the inlet of the pipe is 
provided and it is laid at an even grade 
ntld provided with an air Vent at the up¬ 
per end so it may be drained during cold 
weather. Otherwise it should be laid be¬ 
low frost. 'I’he use of wood pipe would 
no doubt keep the water somewhat colder 
than iron pipe, because it is a poorer con¬ 
ductor of beat. While little can be told 
of the quantity of water available by the 
statement that it will fill a 1’{.-in. pipe, 
because the velocity is not given, it seems 
that there is an ample flow of fine water. 
If this is so. why not put in a hydraulic 
ram which would be operated by the flow 
of water from this spring, and pump the 
water to all of the farm buildings?

From Summer 
to Winter Feeding 
Feeders have all had the bitter experience of loss from decreased milk 
production with the cows returning from summer pasturage to winter 
feeding. All know, too, that to make the most profit from dairying the 
r*»lk flow must be held at its maximum in the fall and winter when milk 
prices are highest. 
If the milk flow is to be maintained after the radical change from sum¬ 
mer to winter feeding, cows should be returned to their winter quarters 
in correct physical condition and then receive feed that will supply their 
every need. 
The usual falling off in milk produced is due to improper nourishment. 
If cows are completely nourished the flow of milk will be just as good re¬ 
gardless of the time of year. 
enables you to maintain the same production in winter that is obtained 
in summer. 
When on pasturage a balanced ration is maintained by feeding Red 
Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed, but when changing to winter feeding the 
correct roughage used is a vital factor and the grain feed must form a 
balanced ration with the roughage used. 
One of the three TI-O-GA Dairy Feeds will combine with the roughage 
you have to use and form a balanced ration; will fill every requirement 
for completely nourishing the cows, keep them in good condition and 
maintain production throughout the year: — 
Red Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with low protein succulent roughage: Silage, Pastur¬ 
age, Green Fodder, etc. 
White Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with medium protein dry roughage: Timothy Hay, 
Mixed Hay, Corn Fodder, etc. 
Blue Brand TI-O-GA Dairy Feed 
to be fed with high protein dry roughage: Clover Hay, Alfalfa, etc. 
To add any other feed will unbalance the ration; the results will not be 
as good and the cost of production will be increased. This is true whether 
the addition is a cheap feed or high concentrate. 
The uniform nutritive standard of Tl-O-GA Dairy Feeds is always 
maintained. The results obtained have proven the standard correct and 
nothing should be added to TI-O-GA Dairy Feeds.
