Fitting  Sheep  for  the  Show 
Would  you  give  information  in  regard 
to  washing  sheep  and  lambs?  I  have  a 
few  which  I  want  to  enter  in  shows  and 
fairs.  Some  of  them  have  wool  stained 
and  dirty.  What  do  I  use  to  make  the 
wool  white,  as  I  want  them  to  look  well? 
New  Jersey.  g.  ii.  r. 
General  Rules. — One  of  the  prime 
factors  in  the  show  ring  today  is  to  show 
nothing  but  individuals  true  to  type.  No 
matter  how  large  and  fat  the  individual 
is,  if  it  does  not  look  a  high  type  of  the 
breed  it  surely  loses  out  if  the  judge  is 
on  his  job.  So  first,  study  breed  charac¬ 
teristics  and  select  accordingly.  Care  for 
the  year  or  few  months  prior  to  showing 
should  be  just  a  little  extra,  depending 
upon  the  class  of  fairs  at  which  you 
wish  to  show.  Lambs  for  your  yearlings 
should  be  selected  in  the  Fall  or  early 
Winter  and  kept  by  themselves,  that  they 
may  get  just  a  little  extra  care  all  the 
Winter.  If  given  plenty  of  room  the 
yearlings  or  over — for  the  two-year  class- 
This  little  picture  is  taken  from  the 
American  Sheep  Breeder.  It  goes  well 
with  the  recent  article  by  W.  W. 
Reynolds  on  the  Western  sheep  herder. 
This  pile  of  stones  marks  the  grave  of 
such  a  herder.  They  were  probably  built 
up  one  or  two  at  a  time  by  passersby 
who  knew  the  dead  man  was  laid  away 
in  that  lonely  place. 
es — can  run  with  them.  This  would  les¬ 
sen  work,  which,  of  course,  makes  the 
task  easier  and  consequently  lessens  cost. 
We  do  not  make  a  practice  of  breeding 
our  over-a-year  stuff,  and  no  exhibitor 
does.  Occasionally  an  ewe  will  raise  a 
lamb  and  keep  fat  if  given  special  care, 
but  they  are  the  exception,  not  the  rule. 
Summer  Care. — A  handy  pasture 
where  sheep  can  have  the  run  of  a  base¬ 
ment  barn  that  has  been  well  cleaned  out 
in  Spring  is  almost  a  necessity.  Supple¬ 
ment  with  a  light  feeding  of  clover  or 
Alfalfa  in  the  extra  hot  weather,  and 
light  grain  rations.  Sheep  will  not  do 
well  standing  on  a  foot  of  hot  manure. 
Sheep  will  not  improve,  but  rather  other¬ 
wise,  if  compelled  to  stand  with  head  un¬ 
der  the  fence  corner  fighting  flies. 
As  to  Shearing. — The  fine  wools  are 
usually  shorn  in  late  Fall  or  early  Win¬ 
ter,  just  before  severe  Winter  sets  in, 
and,  of  course,  kept  in  warm  quarters. 
Any  well-battened  box  stall  is  right.  Any 
inexpensive  warm  place,  with  good  ven¬ 
tilation,  is  all  that  is  required.  Their 
wool  soon  starts,  and  by  the  time  severe 
Winter  weather  comes  they  can  stand  as 
much  as  any  sheep.  With  the  long-wool 
breeds  shear  as  early  in  March  as  pos¬ 
sible,  or  last  of  February.  This  gives 
them  a  nice  length  of  staple.  For  the 
Down  or  middle  wool  classes,  the  last  of 
March  is  about  right ;  they  will  get 
length  of  staple  enough  to  trim  nicely, 
which  gives  them  a  neat,  firm  appear¬ 
ance.  This  operation,  though  simple, 
takes  quite  a  little  practice,  but  anyone 
can  soon  learn  the  trick  Have  someone 
hold  or  tie  your  sheep  with  a  comfortable 
little  halter,  and  with  a  stiff  brush  wet 
iu  pail  of  water  brush  sheep  all  over, 
bringing  out  all  the  ends  possible.  Now 
take  a  sharp  pair  of  shears  and  com¬ 
mence  down  the  back,  taking  off  say  % 
in.  of  the  standing  ends,  and  so  on  all
