The Butting Ram 
Tu regard to the butting ram, I have 
hoard of a chain to drag in reach of his 
hind foot, but in the interest of the S. P. 
A. I will say that it was attached to 
a strap around the neck instead of to a 
ring in the nose, which I would think 
very cruel, and that it would interfere 
very much with eating. I think that few 
of us have time to play with the rams as 
does Mr. Ormsbee. and I think that he 
would find a good ram of the mutton 
breeds a rather heavy waltzing partner 
or wheelbarrow. In another place I see 
the advice about making them afraid of 
you. That method may be necessary 
sometimes, but the rams that become but¬ 
ters are generally tame ones, and if you 
make them afraid to be near you they 
are apt when they do come from a greater 
distance to come with much more force. 
I let them stay around me. but make 
children stay away from them. By keep¬ 
ing the “eye in the back of my head” on 
them (and I don’t fear them in front), 
when I see any hostile demonstration I 
take them under the chin with my heel, 
so that they generally leant when I raise 
mj hand, with g warning voice to desist 
or come up more quietly. a. s. w.
