Selection of Breed for
Good Flock of Sheep
In establishing a Hock of sheep for
the farm there are many advantages
in the farmers of a community select
ing the same breed. One important
advantage is in changing rams so as
to avoid inbreeding. A farmer with
onlv a few ewes Is likely to inbree
or use a poor sire, rather than intro
duce new blood through the purchase
of a good ram. Sheep are divided into
three general classes: 1, the line
wools such as the American Merino,
Deiamc. and Hambouillet ; 2, medium
v o?ls, such as the Oxford, Hampshire,
Shropshire, Southdown, etc.; 3; the
coarse wools, such as the Cotswolds,
Leicester and Lincolns.
The first class of fine wools ar?
especially desirable when run in large
numbers on the ranges in mountainous
regions, as they herd well together,
retain the wool well, are well protected
by a close fleece, and probably do bet
ter than other breeds on coarse or
more or less woody vegetation. Of the
line wools, the Hambouillet has the
best mutton type and is the largest in
SlZe- ~1
The second class, or medium wool
sheep are . probably best for non
irrigated sections of the state but do
well anywhere, as they are of a dis
tinct meat type, mature early, and fur
nish a higher percentage of mutton
than the tine wools. They are not as
large as coarse wool, for the sheep |
mature earlier. Some of the breeds j
of this class are wither small, active ,
and well adapted to grazing where the ^
feed is sparse.
The Southdowns are the smallest j
and mature very, early and rapidly,
but shear only about six to eight
pounds of wool. The Shropshire is the
most popular farm sheep in America, |
giving a well-balanced yield of mut
ton and wool, and shearing 12 to 14 (
pounds under farm conditions. Hamp
shires and Oxfords are larger than
Shropshires, but are a little slower in
maturing. Any one of these breeds
will give satisfaction. ? Extension Serv- j

Some Reasons Why Hogs
Are Popular Farm Animals
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture )
'What is the basis of the hog's popu
larity, which, in spite of his relatively
small size, enables him to stand third
In total value among all our domestic
animals in the United States? In the .
first place, of course, he produces
toothsome meats which in some form
or other combine well with most of
our common vegetables, hut, according
to the Department of Agriculture,
there are other reasons why the hog
has heroine a favorite on more than
three- fourths of our farms.
The hog converts much of our corn
crop, 30 to 40 per cent annually, into
a concentrated food, and in this work
of concentration he Is no waster, lie Is
an efficient user of feed. It takes at>out ?
six pounds of hay to produce a pound
of lamb (live weight), ten pounds of
hav and ten pounds of corn to make a
pound of beef, and 5.0 pounds of corn
for a pound of pork. IlogR are fre
quently used to "hog down" or har
vest crops and in this way they
the labor of harvesting.
In this country pork and lard enter
prominently into our food supply. The
average annual consumption per cap
ita for the last five years was G7.3
pounds of pork and 12.5 pounds of
lard as compared with 000 pounds
of beef.
Cut Down Sow's Ration
When Little Pigs Scour
When little pigs sliow symptoms of
scouring, cut down the sow's ration ?
immediately. Four ounces of raw 1 in- '
seed oil or fifteen to twenty grains of j
copperas in the sow's plop will help to ;
correct scours. Thumps in suckling j
pigs come from too much rich food i
and not enough exercise. The best :
remedy Is prevention by sufficient ex- |
ercise.

I. Esther Made Queen (Chapters 1,.
2).
This drama took place In the Per
sian court, where Ahasuerus (Xerxes)
sat upon his throne, surrounded by his
princes and Servants. Six months of
festivity were drawing to a close, ar
ranged by the king In order to impress
upon the people of his mighty empire
the fact of his greatness. The last
days of this feast were marked with
drunken debauchery. In a drunken
frenzy the king commanded Vashtl to
come before the people to 0isplay her
beauty. Vashtl showed her inde
pendence by refusing to obey. She
was Instantly deposed. In providing a
queen to take her place, the most beau
tiful maidens In the empire were
brought together from whom the king
might make a selection. The choice
fell upon Ksther, a maid of the Jewish
captivity. The king did not know that
she was a Jewess, but God knew, and
He put her there for a purpose.
II. Haman'i Plot Against the Jews
(Chapter 3).
1. The Occasion of (vv. 1-0). For
some reason Hainan was given chief
place over the princes. Though all
bowed before him. Mordecai, Esther's
cousin, stoutly refused to do so.
2. Its Nature (vv. 7-15). Haman
desired to lay hands upon Mordecai for
his insubordination, but hesitated. In
stead of such drastic action lie laid a
plot to destroy all the Jews, and there
by take vengeance on Mordecai, who
he learned was a Jew. He made the
king believe that the Jews were an un
profitable people nnd induced him to
order their annihilation, promising to
bring into the royal treasury an enor
mous sura of money.
III. Maman't Plot Foiled (4:1-8:14).
* 1. Fasting Among the Jews (4:1-3).
When Mordecai and his people per
ceived all tijat was done they put on
sackcloth and ashes and cr'-ed to God.
2. Mordecai's Charge to Esther (4:4
14). He sent to Esther a copy of the
decree and charged her to go before
the king and make supplication for her
people. Esther pointed out the difficul- ;
ties In the way. Possible death await- ;
ed her should her uninvited presence '
not meet the approvaV of the king.
3. Esther's1 Daring Adventure (4:16
,r>:2). Mordecai pointed out to her that
her own life was endangered. She
might meet death by venturing Into
the king's presence. She would surely
meet death were Hainan's plot not
foiled. When thus brought face to
face with duty, the heroism which so j
frequently has characterized her race j
moved her to undertake the hazardous
task and prayerfully carry it out. I
After three days of fasting and prayer
she put '>n her royal apparel and stood
in the king's court, winning his ai>
proval.
4. Esther Pleading for Her People
(5:3-7:0). Esther knew that an easy
way to the lion rt of the kins wits
through his stomach. so she invited
him and Hainan to a banquet. Sht?
proposed a second banquet. at which
she planned to make her request
known. 'During the Interval some
strange tilings took place A gallows
was built upon which to hang. Morde
cnl, at the heartless suggestion of I la
man's wife. And the king, during a
sleepless night, was moved to search
the court records, where he found that
Mordecal had not been rewarded for
snving his life. So, In order to ex
press his appreciation/ for this act of
h<yo!sm on the part of Mordecal, lie
gave orders obliging Tinman to do hon
or to the one he was preparing to
hang. At the second banquet Esther
pointed out Hainan's wicked plot to
kill the Jews and'astted of the king
that hor people be saved. In his wrath
the king ordered Unman hanged on
the gallows which had beeif prepared
for Mordecai.
5. The Counter Decree Issued (8:5
14). The original decree could not be
reversed, so a counter decree was Is
sued which enabled th<^ Jews to de
fend themselves. This was dispatched
to the furthest parts of the kingdom.
At the appointed time there was great
slaughter and the Jews were saved.
God granted relief and the Feast of
purim was instituted as a memorial
of their deliverance.
