The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
A Sheep Bumper 
This question about the fighting ram has 
called out many hits of experience. Most 
farmers seem to think the ram is the 
easiest animal in the barnyard to over¬ 
come. Among other “remedies” is a head 
spring made by Mr. Aivah Blackburn of 
Pennsylvania. A picture of this inven¬ 
tion is shown on this page. It is called 
the Blackburn sheep bumper. , As we see, 
it consists of a strong metal spring fas¬ 
tened on the forehead of the sheep. When 
he bucks into his enemy the spring does 
the rest by bumping him back as if he 
were shot out of a gun. We knew a man 
who invented an “anti-scratcher” for 
chickens. It was a ring around the leg 
with a short, pointed rod hanging down

and walked him right out of the garden! 
On page 288, W. J. C. complains that 
he has an ill-natured and quarrelsome 
ram, and asks for advice in regard to con¬ 
quering him. There is no psychological 
method by which a ram’s disposition may 
he sweetened, but it is an easy matter to 
educate one into a submission that will 
be more effective. In fact, so easy is it 
for a man to conquer a ram. that, when I 
was a hoy, the most opprobrious taunt 
that could be thrown at anyone was to 
say, “You can’t whip a ram.’’ And, as a 
boy, a favorite sport was to aggravate a 
ram until he would attack me. I greatly 
enjoyed having a tussle with an ugly rani, 
and a little experience taught me' many 
methods of handling one, hut. those sug¬ 
gested in the reply to your correspondent 
are cruel and brutal, and ought not to he 
employed when dealing with an animal of 
no more fighting ability than a ram. 
A favorite method of mine was to ex¬ 
tend my arm in the direction of the ram. 
The ram would make my fist the object of 
his attack, and, just as he would gather 
himself for a final plunge, I would move 
my arm sidewise. This would- disconcert 
his aim, and he would back up and try it 
again, and again, until he would become 
disgusted and quit. Another method was 
to lower my arm in such a manner that 
the ram would strike the tip of his nose 
against my clenched fist. A few' trials of 
this kind will discourage the most pug- 
nacious ram that ever lived. Another 
method was to catch his head, similarly 
as I would catch a ball. This is an easy 
matter if one steps backward in accord¬ 
ance with the momentum of the ram. 
When caught, don’t be brutal just be¬ 
cause you have him at your mercy, hut 
give him a light rap on the nose with the 
"Pen hand. You can stand it. as long as 
he will. Another method was to catch 
him in this manner, raise him upon his 
liiul feet, hip-lock him and throw him flat 
upon the ground. 
Another method, more exciting, and 
more suitable for the enjoyment of a red- 
blooded boy. was to get down upon my 
hands and knees, and. just as the ram 
was about to deliver the solar plexus 
blow, drop flat and to one side, catch him 
by the foreleg and make him turn a som¬ 
ersault. Another method was to catch 
lim by the hind legs, raise him upon his 
front feet and walk him in wheelbarrow 
fashion, around the yard. One lesson of 
this kind would last for a long time. But 
again I say, don’t abuse him, or blindfold 
him, or employ auy device that will cause 
him permanent discomfort. 
Vermont. c. o. ormsbee. 
A friend of mine recently told me of a 
scheme used on his farm for sweetening 
the disposition of a ram that had been 
troublesome in the same way. A small 
bull ring was put into the ram’s nose in 
the same way that, it is customary to put 
a ring into a hull’s nose. A piece of small 
twisted link chain was snapped into the 
ring, the end of the chain dragging on 
the ground between the rain’s hind legs. 
\\ hen the ram was walking he would 
occasionally step on the chain and pull 
his nose down. but. it didn’t hurt him 
very much and usually in* didn't even 
step on it; but if he attempted a flying 
pass at anyone he was pretty sure to 
Step on the chain and lose his interest in 
what he had intended to give a knockout 
blow. This might not be a practical rem¬ 
edy to use in a bushy pasture, bxit around 
the barn or in cleared fields there is little 
danger of the chain getting caught, on 
anything; and I am told that in at least 
one instance it thoroughly cured the ram 
of his disposition to attack people.

for close skimming—in the most

Time has changed the United States Sep¬

plant was making millions of shells for our 
allies and later for our government, the in¬ 
ventors and designers of the United States 
Separator were making the World’s Record 
Separator a better Separator. 
Seven exclusive patents have been granted on the United
