THE PERSIAN SHEEP. 
We have had several questions about 
Persian sheep, which are very useful 
not only for the flesh, but for the fine 
character of their wool. In tracing Per¬ 
sian sheep in this country, we have 
learned of what is called “the new ani¬ 
mal,” that is a cross derived from the 
Persian Broad-tailed sheep and the 
large Merino. Pictures of this sheep 
are shown at Fig. 350, page 747. This 
is, of course, a cross-bred animal, but 
appears to have a peculiar merit. The 
wool is said to be equal in value to that 
of the Merino; it is not so fine and 
thick, hut much longer, and two clips 
are made annually. The Persiarino 
sheep give about twice as much meat as 
the Merino, and the flesh is very 
superior. We are told that there are 
not over 100 pure-blooded Persian sheep 
in this country. It is impossible to get 
them from Persia, as export trade in 
that country is denied. C. J. Jones, of 
Kansas, introduces the Persiarino gheep, 
and states that a Turk never works, 
consequently his sheep have for ages 
been obliged to hustle for themselves. 
As a result of this, they have come to- 
a point where they require neither food 
nor shelter when on the range. Nature 
has taken care of them, as in the case 
of the camel and buffalo, by providing 
them with a surplus or storehouse from 
which to draw nourishment when they 
need it. Thus they carry 25 to 40 
pounds of fat on their rump and this, 
like the hump of the buffalo is the most 
delicious part of the animal. Persiarino 
sheep are said to turn out lb to 15 
per cent more meat than other classes 
of sheep, and like all hybrids they are 
strong and vigorous. Mr. Jones claims 
that they make a good cross with the 
other breeds where meat of good size is 
required. While this is a cross-bred 
or hybrid, it seems to possess somd 
merit besides that of novelty. 
STACKING HAY IN DAKOTA. 
To one who has never traveled widely 
it sounds strange to be told how others 
do their work, and I will tell you how 
we make hay in this part of South Da¬ 
kota. The grass is not as thick here as 
in the East and it does not take it as 
long to cure, as our climate is drier and 
there is not as much moisture in the 
grass. Our mowers arc from six to 
seven-foot cut and there is a rake at¬ 
tached to them, so that it rakes the hay 
as fast as cut. There is only one round 
cut ahead of the rake as it follows be¬ 
hind the wheels. Some use a dropper, 
which is attached to the sickle bar. 
Either one or the other is used on all 
mowers. The hay loader is used the 
same as in the East. I think our hay 
racks are larger here than there. We 
have two, one is 10x16, the other 12x18, 
and some that have to haul a long dis¬ 
tance have them as large as 12x24. All 
have sides on them from four to six 
feet high, made of some light but stout 
material, and with the large racks they 
use four horses abreast and will haul 
from one to four tons, according to the 
size of horses and rack. We unload 
with horses (nearly all of us do) and 
ropes, and we have put 65 big loads in 
one stack. I am not much of an artist, 
but will try to show how the ropes 
are used. 
The sides of the rack next to the 
stack is on hinges and will drop on to

the incline of the stack. There are four 
ropes laid across the rack; one end of 
them is tied to four other ropes that 
ri.n over the stack and are tied to a 
stake close to the stack, the other end 
of them is fastened to a wire cable 
that runs over the load and stack, and 
attached to a pulley. A manila rope 
runs from the outer stake back through 
the pulley and the horses are hitched to 
the other end. With this way of stack¬ 
ing it is said the stacks are made 3(1 
feet high. I finished one yesterday over 
20 feet. o. e. d

Dangerous Dog. 
A <log barks at me in a menacing man¬ 
ner; lie seems dangerous and ugly. May I 
carry a revolver and shoot him if he bites 
me? If a license to carry n weapon is nec¬ 
essary, where do I get it and what is the 
cost? K. D. J. 
New York. 
A person has a right to protect himself 
from an ugly dog. The fact that he has no 
license has nothing to do with his right to 
safety on the highway. Consult the chief 
of police as to a license; it is discretionary 
with him. lie may not issue it. We advise 
you to write to the owner demanding that 
he care for his dog. After such notice he is 
liable for all damage done. If the dog 
frightens horses, children or attempts to 
bite, you may kill him.
