CHEVIOT SHEEP. 
The Cheviot sheep, although raised 
to some extent in all the Eastern States, 
is not yet so well known as its merit 
deserves. Coming from a rugged coun¬ 
try, where it subsisted on the herbage 
of bleak mountains, it has a constitu¬ 
tion that will withstand storms and cold 
and scant fare. Their history reads like 
a fairy tale. In their native home they 
are called the sheep that came out of 
the sea, because no other origin was 
possible. The story goes that in the 
year 1538 the Spanish Armada had 
on board numbers of live sheep to 
be killed for food. Soon after the 
fleet was destroyed off the coast 
of the British Isles a little band 
A PHENOMENAL CALF RECORD. 
J wish to relate what I consider al¬ 
most a phenomenon that has occurred 
in my herd of purebred Jersey cows. 
About two years ago 1 decided to sell 
off all mixed breeds and keep only pure¬ 
bred Jerseys. Knowing how easy it 
was to be deceived (the celebrated cat¬ 
tle case was on at the time) if the 
breeder is not strictly honest, I asked 
the advice of The R. N.-Y. as to with 
whom I should deal. My first purchase 
was a cow with her first calf (cow not 
quite two years old). By her picture 
I judged her a beauty, and she cer¬ 
tainly was, as well as a perfect pet, 
gentfe and tractable as a lamb. Previous 
to shipping she had been bred to a 
Jersey bull. At the appointed time 
Magnolia Bunker gave birth to twins, 
both heifers, perfect and of a good size. 
Well. I thought this wonderful, but not 
sufficiently so as to cause me to make

A BUNCIT OF CHEVIOT SHEEP. Fig. 182. 
of sheep appeared on the hills 
forming the boundary between England 
and Scotland. They were different from 
known breeds, and no shepherd owned 
them, and they grazed upon the hills in 
Summer and in Winter, and gradually 
increased. When brought under the con¬ 
trol of man they were found to be de¬ 
sirable in every way. They were first 
introduced into this country by Robert 
Young, of Delhi, N. Y., and instantly 
became popular with their owners. In 
their native environment they were very 
popular both for mutton and for wool. 
They are about the size of the Shrop¬ 
shire, ewes weighing from 150 to 200 
pounds and rams from 200 to 225 
pounds. They are very hardy and free 
from disease, and admirably adapted for 
grazing rough bushy rocky pastures, do¬ 
ing well where other sheep would not. 
The wool is of medium quality and the 
fleece heavy, rams shearing as high as 
11 pounds and ewes nine. This wool 
is in demand by manufacturers of the 
so-called cheviot cloth. The fleeces are 
very free from cotts, as they do not 
mat easily. 
This sheep is very handsome, being 
pure white with face and top of head 
bare of wool. They have erect pointed 
ears, very bright eyes and seldom have 
any horns. They are compactly built 
with a short, thick neck and body blocky 
and supported on short, strong legs. The 
mutton is in good demand, as they do 
not lay on such an immense amount of 
fat as do some breeds, being more meaty 
and therefore better liked. Crosses of 
Cheviot with other breeds make excel¬ 
lent mutton, as the grade usually shows 
the compact meaty body of the purebred. 
The ewes make good mothers and pro¬ 
duce twins in most cases. The lambs 
are strong and will fend for themselves 
where other lambs die. They grow 
rapidly and weigh from 80 to 100 pounds 
when six months old, when well cared 
fur. This breed is very popular among 
sheep men. The bunch of beauties 
shown in Fig.182 are from a herd owned 
by J. A. Brace & Son, of Orleans Co.,

special note of it. Now this phenome¬ 
nal cow has again calved, and again 
twins, this time a hull and heifer, both 
as fine calves as one would wish to see. 
The mother has every point of a per¬ 
fectly bred cow and is also a fine milker, 
giving 18 to 20 quarts per clay. The 
first twins are now two beautiful heifers, 
as will he seen from their pictures on 
first page. Fig. 177, and promise to he as 
fine animals as. the mother.
