LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY 
Fine-wooled Sheep 
When I pooled my wool with the Con¬ 
necticut Sheep Breeder’s Association I 
discovered there is a great difference in 
wool. According to the article on “Com¬ 
mercial Wool Grades” in The R. N.-Y., 
page 791, Delaine and Rambouillets head 
the list. I figure it would pay better to 
keep either of these breeds than to keep a 
breed of the coarser type. Do you think 
Delaine or Rambouillet sheep can be kept 
on as poor feed and pasture as the coarser 
wool type? I had a Shropshire that gave 
a good grade of wool and lots of it, and 
she was the 'best brush killer I ever 
owned—would eat anything. I keep sheep 
to kill brush; find it more economical 
than cutting it with a scythe. I would 
like to realize a better income from my 
brush by producing better wool. R. H. 
Rockville, Conn. 
I know more about the Delaine Merino 
than any other sheep, as they have been 
kept about here more than 60 years. They 
flock well, shear well, are very hardy, but 
the lambs do not come to maturity as 
early as some of the coarse wool breeds. 
I have tried some of the coarse-wooled 
breeds and find them given to catarrhal 
troubles more than the Delaines. All 
sheep are alike, about eating bushes. 
I have some poison ivy along the stone 
walls, hut my sheep eat it all off when 
the field is pastured. The Rambouillets 
that I have seen are larger boned than 
the Delaines, but I think the wool is 
about the same. Whatever breed of sheep 
one may decide to keep, always bear in 
mind that there is more difference in in¬ 
dividual sheep of a breed than there is in 
breeds. H. R. P. 
Docking Old Sheep 
Can I dock old sheep? I bought a 
bunch of sheep, and most of them have 
long tails, which I do not like, both for 
looks and sanitary condition. I have 
docked lambs just by simply cutting tails 
off with a sharp knife, but an old sheep 
may have to be handled a little different. 
Brewer, Me. J. W. M. 
One of my neighbors, who is very suc¬ 
cessful with sheep, cuts off the tails just 
as he would if they were lambs; just 
takes a sharp butcher knife and cuts 
them off and puts nothing on, and says 
he never lost a sheep. My method is to 
place the sheep on a plank or block of 
wood, one holding it at the hock joints. 
Let the sheep rest on the plank near the 
tail so as to crowd the skin forward 
toward the shoulders. Take a 2-in. 
chisel and mallet and cut the tail. Then 
draw the skin down over the hone and 
tie a strong hard twisted cord so as to 
keep the skin over the cut end of bone. 
This requires no further attention, as 
it will heal perfectly, and very little 
blood is lost. If I were to use the first 
method I would make as much air- 
slaked lime stick to the cut surface as 
possible, as it will stop profuse bleeding. 
Do not cut them off until flies are gone.

Bees in House; Cow Owner’s 
Share; Cooling Milk 
1. How does one get bees out of the 
wall of a house? They have been there 
two years. 2. If a man buys a farmer 
10 cows what part of the profits go to 
him? 3. Should the animal heat be let 
off a can of milk before it is set in a 
spring? Is a spring registering 60 de¬ 
grees cold enough to keep milk sweet 36 
hours? f. A. A. 
Rhinebeck, N. Y. 
1. Bees could be transferred from the 
side of a house with bee escapes placed 
over their entrance and leading into the 
back of a hive supplied with combs. As 
soon as enough of these bees accumulate, 
give a card of brood and also a queen if 
possible. Of course this does not get the 
old queen or combs. The only way to do 
a real job is to subdue the colony with 
smoke and proceed to pry off the siding 
and cut out the combs and tie in the 
frames. The very best time for this is 
when fruit is in bloom in May in this 
locality. Anyway, transfer only when 
there is plenty of honey coming in. 
2. A man who furnished a dairyman 
10 cows could not expect to get over 25 
per cent of the net profits unless the cows 
were far above the average. We know 
there are very many so-called boarder 
cows, and one or two of these in the 10 
would so reduce the profits from the 
others that there might be no profits to 
divide. My neighbor, who has been a 
lifetime dairyman, says 25 per cent is 
too much where the farmer furnishes the 
labor, feed and shelter. 
3. Our experience indicates that it is 
best to get the animal heat out of milk 
before the cover is put on the can. Milk 
may keep sweet when the cover is put 
right on, but is liable to have a disagree¬ 
able taste which some call smothered 
milk. While camping we have often kept 
milk 36 hours by immersing the can 
among the rocks in running water. -I 
should expect this spring to keep it O.K. 
if free from animal heat when placed 
in spring. g. w. b.
