Profits in Sheep 
Does it pay to keep sheep and what 
would it cost to keep a pair over Win¬ 
ter, and how .should they be fed? 
Hackensack, N. .T. M. G. 
The sheep industry is again gaining 
favor in the East, where small flocks 
are kept as a part of a diversified farm¬ 
ing bu.sine.ss. It is rather es.sential to 
have a trained man to look after the 
sheep to make a succe.ss with them. It 
W’ould hardly be practical to keep as few 
as two or three slieep. fine would not 
derive a profit worth while, out of so 
small a number, particularly when feed 
is so high. Good corn silage and roots, 
and the legume hays, such as clover and 
Alfalfa, are most excellent for sheep 
feeding. Corn, barley, cottonseed, and 
oil meal are concentrated feeds com¬ 
monly used. At the present time good 
white and to give the preference to a 
thick, coarse, somewhat curly coat, which 
in our opinion olfers the best protection 
to the dog and the most resi.stance to 
cold and water. 
A good book on the Airedale is. “All 
About Airedales.” by R. M. Palmer, 
price .$1.50 in cloth. $1 in paper. The 
price is perhaps a little high, for it is by 
no means a large book, but it is the best 
on the subject with which I am familiar.

Some Promising Missouri Live Stock 
sheep such as one would want fur foun¬ 
dation stock are very high. If you 
could handle a flock of sheep, say 25 
to 50, it would be wise for you to con¬ 
sult your Agricultural College at New 
Brunswick before making purchase.

Origin of Foxhound 
Can you tell me whether the foxhound 
is a strain of his own, or if he is crossed 
with some other breed? P. A. K. 
Luray, Va. 
One writer states that in his opinion 
the English foxhound was originally 
from a cross of the bloodhound and the 
greyhound. Mr. Rawdoii Lee. the great 
English authority, does not give the ori¬ 
gin of the foxhound in any of his works, 
but .says that they have been kejit pure 
for over 300 years in England. 
Color of Airedale’s Coat 
I have an Airedale terrier that gave birth 
to a litter of nine pujiiiies recently, and 
they ail have more or less white on their 
necks and breast.s. Does tliat indicate 
they are of parents that are not just up 
to standard breed? Will this white shed 
out? About half of them have crimpy 
hair; balance straight hair. Which kind 
of hair is best? Is there a book on Aire¬ 
dales? J. 15. M. 
I’hilaclelphia, Pa. 
The coloring of Airedale puppies de¬ 
scribed by ,T. B. M. is not at all unusual. 
We have frequently noted more or less 
white on necks and breasts of young pups 
about whose purity of breeding there was 
absolutely no question. This is probably 
a reversion, but it is common enough to 
indicate nothing suspicious, and, in our 
own experience, all this white has gener¬ 
ally disappeared upon maturity. 
Regarding the quality of the hair, there 
seems to be a wide diversity of opinion. 
As a general thing a coat which is most 
preferred is a coat not too fine or silky, 
but rather verging toward a coarse and 
wiry character, and a slight curliness or 
wave is generally liked; however, in these 
fine points so much depends upon tem¬ 
porary fads and fashions and individual 
tastes of show-ring judges that it is hard 
to lay dow'n fixed principles. Further¬ 
more, in all too many cases the coat is so 
tinkered with in fitting a dog for the 
ring that its original quality is lost. 
Unless breeding for the show-ring, our 
advice would be not to worry about the 
use for a horse that gets such a bunch 
to reduce pain and size and effect a cure. 
New York. o. d. s. 
The chief aim should be to prevent the 
formation of such sores by first having 
the collars fit perfectly, then keeping 
them clean and dry and three times daily 
bathing the shoulders with cold water 
containing a heaping teaspoonful of salt 
to the quart. Dusting the shoulders with 
finely powdered slaked lime each night 
and brushing it off in the morning will 
also t(‘nd to prevent sores. If a lump 
forms, such as you describe, paint it 
three times daily with a mixture of two 
parts of tincture of iodine and six parts 
of extract of witch hazel, and dust with 
tale powder before Avork. Raise the col¬ 
lar to allow air to jihiy between it and 
the skin each time the horse rests Avhon 
at Avork in hot Aveather. In chronic ca.^ios 
the padding of the collar may have to be 
so adjusted that it docs not chafe the 
sore spot. The knife has to he used 
as a last resort to open or cut out such 
sores. A. s. A. 
Swelling 
I have a three-year-old colt that I 
think has fistula. A large swelling on 
right side of withers started about two 
months ago. It became somewhat soft in 
center and I lanced it, thinking there 
was pus in it, but found none. Can you 
tell me wliat to do for it? I Ainderstand 
there is a serum on the market to in¬ 
ject into the horse’s system. I.? this nec¬ 
essary to effect a permanent cure? This 
place swelled up last Summer but went 
away and seemed to be perfectly sound. 
Virginia. r. l. d. 
Serum or bacteria may be ordered 
through the druggist from any firm mak¬ 
ing or handling biological products hut 
such things can only be intelligently used 
by the educated veterinarian. We should 
not consider their use indicated in the 
case described as pus does not appear to 
be present. If a swelling still is present 
keep a cold wet pack upon the part. If 
it is hot and sore dissoh’e a teaspoonful 
of sugar of lead in each quart of Avater 
used. If pus forms it will have to be 
liberated. a. s. a. 
“With these high prices,” said the cus¬ 
tomer to the grocer, “you must be mak¬ 
ing a lot of money.” “No,” replied the 
grocer. “I’m not making any more mon¬ 
ey ! My customers merely owe me more.”

Collar Bruises and Sores 
Often Avhen a team of hor.ses is hard 
at work a bunch will develop at the lower 
part of the shoulder; it may not be very 
noticeable when the hor.ses are unhitched 
at night, but increases during the night 
and may be A’ery painful next morning. 
If the liorse is kept at Avork it gets very 
sore. I want to knoAV what to do and
