Advantages of Delaine Merinos 
What are the advantages of the type 
B and C Delaine Merino sheep have over 
the other breeds, if any? H. P. J. 
There are no advantages with Delaines 
or any other breeds of sheep. All are 
good in their place, same as the multitude 
of breeds of other domestic animals. 
Breed and grade are a matter of educa¬ 
tion, opinion or choice, and the salesmen 
of breeding stock emphasize the points 
of desirability under the circumstances 
their sheep are best fitted for. Delaines 
have it on all others for wool. The mills 
are screaming for it now. and it generally 
is the highest priced, hut the mutton 
breeds have it on them for meat. The 
hothouse, and the big Summer and Fall 
lamb, does not come from a Delaine flock, 
but at one year old, before the teeth show 
two years, a Delaine lamb will weigh 
close to 100 lbs., 10 or 15 of which will 
be nice wool. Again, Delaines will stand 
bunching better tliau the coarse wools. 
We had 150 ewes and their lambs on a 
20-acre pasture in Juue and July, and 
no ill effects, but they would have grown 
more with a change. There was not an 
ailment in the bunch, but there would 
have been trouble with auy kind of 
coarse sheep. The muscularity of the tine 
sheep is in their favor, and again the 
breed has been pure longer, consequently 
they are easier to keep, but on the other 
hand, it is very probable that any of the 
coarse wools, handled to fit their sphere, 
have more near dollars than Delaines. 
I am not speaking of crossbreds, nor 
mongrels. They should be all marketed 
the first chance. None should be kept 
for breeding purposes. Cross-breeding 
and amalgamation are unnatural and 
bring their penalty. A point, in favor 
of Delaines on that score is. that if you 
mix any other breed with them, you do 
not have the breed. They pass to coarse 
wool or something else, but nail this truth 
in your mind. A mongrel ram is a calam¬ 
ity. I would as soon have a sheep dog in 
a field. The progeny may have every¬ 
thing the matter with it. 
While sheep are the easiest domestic 
animal in the world to handle, they re¬ 
quire more particular care than any 
because of their gentleness. They will 
uot break out for feed or water like hogs 
or cattle, but will suffer in silence. Again, 
sheep are a permanency. You can grow 
u litter of pigs of any breed, or buy any 
nondescripts, shovel corn to them and 
have your money back in a few months, 
blit sheep-raising or wool-growing is a 
matter of years. The writer had his first 
little, old ewe in 1864. and has the present 
flock after knowing it for 50 years' and 
now keeping it 10 years. It will con¬ 
tinue during life, aud presumably during 
the life of my son, as all the barns and 
fields are fitted for it. and the boy knows 
more now than the father. That is the 
reason I have made all the noise I could 
about sheep and wool, aud the substitutes 
that have been killing it. We know 
sheep aud like them, aud are ready to 
double and quadruple as soon as it pays. 
We want all the publicity possible on 
wool, and here now is a fabric law we 
are pushing at Washington to keep shod¬ 
dy in its place, instead of letting it kill 
any more sheep. Again here is a cargo 
of Australian wool, because they are hard 
up for money aud want ours, coming off 
laud not worth as much as the taxes we 
pay annually. Wake up, you clothing 
buyers, and all you folks who want Amer¬ 
ica to stop being a wool pauper aud being 
at the mercy of a few. 
The “advantages” with sheep must be 
considered in relation to what will be 
best for the locality, what the operator 
knows or wants to learn, aud the length 
of time In- intends to operate. It depends 
on the limn more than the breed. Our 
work is to sell wool, clipped lambs and 
aged ewes. w. w. Reynolds. 
Spinal Meningitis 
A cow had spinal meningitis. She is 
still lame and stiff, front legs swell. She 
calved five months ago, gives one quart of 
milk a day. Will you advise treatment? 
Pennsylvania. a. s. 
We cannot determine what was wrong 
without a full description of the symp¬ 
toms. Spinal meningitis or forage poison¬ 
ing usually proves fatal. A cow in the 
condition described should, if possible, be 
fed off for slaughter, if the tuberculin test 
has [iroved her to be free from tubercu¬ 
losis. We cannot suggest treatment with¬ 
out examining the animal.

Holsteins Blaze the Trail to 
Success and Profit 
Read what a slice tsful 60-year-old dai¬ 
ryman said: “1 have made the greater 
part of my money since I was 45. Up to 
that time I was busy making mistakes 
about cows. The difficulty is that some 
dairymen neglect the ‘Black-aud White' 
facts. Any farmer who will study the su¬ 
premacy of Holstein-Friesian cattle as 
profitable milk producers, and as dual 
purpose cattle, will soon steer his course 
by the star that leads to profitable dairy 
operations.”
