The first thing necessary in cleaning dairy utensils Is to wash thetnas soon as possible after use, The best supplement to pas- tures is a supply of good ensi- lage put up the previous aft• Winn. No cow can do good work as a milker that has to put in most of her time gathering something to eat. The value of a good buil which has succeeded in bring- ing the herd up to a high Stand- ard cannot be measured In dol. lars and cents, High class butter is net entire- ly duo to the excellence of the cow, but to the intelligence and, management of the dairyman who attends and looks after ev- erything necessary to produce a good product. 0 d 9 a 4 c HAPPY NEW YEAR FITTING SHEEP FOR SHOW. Preparing the Flock For Exhibition at Fall Fairs. Before starting to fit his breeding flock or portion thereof for show pus. poses the amateur breeder and fitter should become thoroughly familiar with the breed type and conformation of the sheep he is handling, says J. M. .Tones in the Orange Judd Farmer. The breeder should snake certain that all the sheep that be intends to exhibit in the pure bred classes are properly registered and that the certificates can be produced, because most fair asso- ciations make the provision that the judge can call for registry certificates. Once in awhile grades are shown in pure bred classes, but this is a prac- tice not to be encouraged, as such methods will be surely discovered soon- er or later. In showing a mutton sheep mutton conformation is desired. The- animal must possess the type cbaracteristic of that particular breed. For example in the Shropshire we want a sheep possessing the typical Shropshire head. There must be no horns or scurs on the Shropshire, as the best specimens. are without them. Good judges will place Shropshires possesslug scurs at the bottom. of the class. Every mutton sheep, uo matter• what breed, the de- sired points are the clean cut hetitd, de- noting quality;" short. thick neck, length of body, wide, thick loin, strong back, carried well out to tail head; The Shropshire is one of the most popular and widely distributed breeds of sheep. tVitnout doubt there are more Shropshires in this country than any other English breed. They have also gone into every sheep growing country in the wood. Specimens of this breed have been made to weigh 225 pounds for the male and 175 for the female, and the meat is'of delicious flavor. As a bearer of lambs few sheep sur- pass the Shropshire. The fine weth- er shown was a prize winner 'last fall. We desire to extend to all tills enFt»•Itir I's ,slur Irt'Ft 'K'F[t• R for the coming year, and to thank them for the generous patronage they have given us during 1913. There is no better town of its size in Ontario than oar o' n good town of Wingham.

The ewes will not Blake satisfactory gains while suck- ling their iambs. •'i•'lushing the ewe" is a common word among sheep men, and it menus nothing more than put- tiva the ewe on to good feed and bringing into good condition before be- ing bred again.
