The world ever clamors for smue-

sphere our lot is cast, the call for
the `production of new materials Is
always upon us and the man who
does not progress loses the race. Per-

there is room for now breeds or

Perhaps new breeds could be pro-

but the writer believes that greater
Progress forthe goodof the live,

for uniformity in output, for compe-

profit to the fernier and greatest sat-
isfaetion to the consumer we already
have too many breeds in some classes
of stock. True, there is room for all

Fewer 'Breeds and Better Breeding.
Keeping this in mind the progress

so much toward the production of
more breeds but rather toward early
maturity and improved type in the.
breeds already in existence. If we

that certain breeds must gain the

number of Western 'Ontario's skilled
agriculturalists actively engaged in
productive work. The farmers of the
present generation are. of course,
growing older and in many instances
farms are growing larger, as the most
likely purchaser of farm property is
a.neighboring farmer and the figures
Which follow show that there is an
obvious tendency towards increase of
cleared but idle 'land.
The figures secured must be ac=
cepted at -face value,:: They are ob-
tained from over a hundred inde-
pendent sources and compiled merely
with a view to ascertaining actual
conditions. They show that of the
farms of the fourteen counties of
Western Ontario, 212,607 acres are
known to be for sale; farms actually
vacant, not including those abandoned
as useless for agricultural purposes,
have together 75,000 acres and there
is reported also 100,000 of.cleared land
in pasture over necessary require-
ments. According to statistics secur-
ed from the Provincial .crop reports
(1922) 100,000 acres in ,general field
crops yields $2;000,000 annually. Of
course it can quite justly be said that
an increase in. the demand, for beef
cattle would' reduce the unproductive
land in pasture; that 'farms offered
for sale may be cultivated by the
present owners for many years. and
that increased production, if the land.
were fully cultivated, might adversely
affect 'the already. inadequate remun-
eration of agriculture at present
prices for produce of all kinds, rThese
are, of course, circumstances which'
should not be Dost sight of, and there
are possibly other phases.of the mat-
ter requiring consideration,
However, the area reported to be
for sale, or itt vacant farms, or in
unproductive pasture—with' one-third
of Western Ontario yet to 'hear from
approximating 400,000 acres or about
one -sixteenth of the total cleared
land of the -fourteen counties of
Western Ontario—indicates awell
defined tendency toward reductio in
the number of Western Ontario's
skilled.agriculturists and this if ad-
mitted, is, it is'claimed, a basic con-
dition striking at the roots of pros-
perity which cannot he disregarded

for hie effort, New breeds may come,
as did the Corriedale sheep in New
Zealand„ to fill a special want, but
better individuals and stronger
strain's in the best breeds we have
is the goal of the present day breed-
er in Canada. New Zealand wanted
a sheep that flocked easily. Tbey
wanted a bigger cheep`than the Mer-
ino, with a better grade of wool than
the Lincoln, so they made a dual-pur-
pose breed by crossing Lincoln rams
on Martha ewes and practicing care-
ful selection. The production of Per
sian lamb in Canada Is another case
where certain methods are followed
to produce a special article. The
writer has heard that a certain well-
known professor in one of the leading
United States Colleges is at present
busy in the' making of atail-less
breed of sheep to get around the.
trouble of docking; and by selection,
it is said, progress Is being made.
The Down Breeds Becoming More
Popular.
So far as sheep are concerned
breeding work is pretty largely con-
fined to selection in our "recognized
breeds with the idea .of meeting the
market. Now, that market demands
the finer and medium grades of wool
and the eighty-four pound lamb, and
it would appear that so far as
markets for mutton sheep are con-
cerned the Down breeds may get the
inside track, Fifty-six per cent. of
a lamb carcass is leg and ' back.
Thirty-six per cent is fronts, and 7
per cent is flank: We are after the
biggest possible percentage of leg and
back, which sell for 'Just twice as
much per pound as front quarter and
eight times as much as -flank. Pro-
gress is only made by keeping weight
and type in mind.
So far as fleece is concerned the
finer the quality the better.
Experimental work in flushing
ewes has proved very profitable In
increasing prolificacy.

Relative Standing for Prolificacy.
From a study of 500 yearlings- in'
each breed mentioned, the following
conel cions are warranted; •'
1, The relative standing of the
breeds of mutton sheep in Canada
with regard to prolificacy is: -Dorset

164%; Hampshire, 149%; Suffolk,
148.2%; Lincoln, 144.8 %b ; Shrop-
shire, 148.6%' Southdown, 142.2%;
Cheviot, 139.8%; Cotswold, 138.0%;
Romney Marsh, 113.9%.

breeds of mutton sheep in Canada is
3. The average increase for all
long wool breeds of mutton sheep in
Canada 18.188,5%.
