him that I did not know, and hoped
that he would have difficulty in find-
ing one. I questioned him as to his
reason for wanting a grade ram to
breed his ewes tQ, when he might se-
cure a purebred and make improve-
ment in his flock rather than to breed
down with the grade. He stated that
the grade ram would be hardier than MAN KEEPS 92d BIRTHDAY

the right kind of ram. I found right
away that this man never had used
a’ purebred ram, and consequently
does not know the vqlue of a good
| ram on a grade flock.
Poor Rams Are Menace i
One great trouble With the sheep
i industry in many sections is the feet
I that rams of promiscuous breeding are
being used by too many men like the
above man, and the result is that no
improvement takes place in the flock,
when there ought to be constant im-
provement from year to year. Another
thing that hurts the sheep business,
and causes many' men to view the
breeding of their ewes like the above
man views the breeding of hffe fs that
far too many poor purebred rams are*
sold, and they do no better in the
building up o| tee flock than the grade
like this man wanted, and teat some
steep breeders, like some breeders of
otteir kinds of stock, do not cull close
enough. . YYO'i '..
I know from breeding sheep myself
for years that the ram.,for the grade
flock should be selected with care. I
want him to he a purebred, and
^nly that, but a good individual.

of friends and relatives were present
to enjoy the day with the venerable

age, is hearty and well preserved..

strong, masculine head, together with
a strong, straight, and weU-covered
back, He should also stand squarely
on his feet, and carry plenty of hope
of good quality. The fleece should be
■of good quality and not top open.
In order to get the beat results, the
i ram and ewes should be put in good
I condition, and results are what I keep
my sheep for. It Is essential that all
the ewes are safely bred in order to
get the maximum return* from the
flock. The ewes should be
aew pasture where there ia
■green feed, and nothing is better fdr
this than a good tye pasture, and I
like to feed in addition to the pasture
|a little grain daily for a couple of
weeks before the breeding is started.
I A little extra feed before and during
the breeding season will mean a high-
er percentage of lambs and a crop of
iambs that will be free from weak-
lings. 'fV -
I like to feed the ram about the
same kind of feed teat is fed
ewes, only in somewhat larger quan-
tities so as to keep him in good flesh
all during the breeding season. I
never like to breed my^es to a thin,
I weak ram, no matter how good the
breeding or tte individuality. I have
a few times done that thing and I
have every time been disappointed in
getting good lambs from his grade

Trouble With Sheep Industry K>
1 told this man that the sheep in-
dustry was in need of more good pure-
bred rams, and asked him why he did
not get him one and get started to
raising rams to sell himself, instead
of picking up such stuff to breed his
ewes to. He said that he had always
been doing that and had thought that
they were about as good as any. ;
I have a friend that had the grade
ram so flrmly fixed in* his head that
he followed tee “grade” methods of
| handling his sheep till he was forced
I to quit the business. Tb* spring he
| sold out, disgusted and almost “bust-
led,” he called me over to. talk about
his lamb troubles. He had a bunch in
an old out-building with boxes, bar-
rels, rocks, loose wire, and I have no
idea what else for these ewes and
lambs to scramble among. They, of
course, were dying, one and two every
day, about as fast as they were being
dropped. I just told him plain that
grade ewes, grade rams, and grade
methods would win out every time in
a real successful failure, and he
agreed with me. He sold out and
quit. Just as well.—R. B. Bushing,
in Farm and Ranch.
