Mutton End of Industry Is Best

tHy a. H. ALFcmn.)
The Introduction of sheep Into
North America was made the same
year the oldest town in the cotton-
growing state was founded. The Span-
iards brought from Spain a small
flock of Merinos and turned them
loose in Florida, and to this day, 'way
down in the piney-woods, along the
gulf coast, the man who knows sheep
can find now and then certain indi-
viduals resembling the early importa
tlon brought here, that they might af-
ford food to the gold hunting adven
turera.
By 1840 the little flock brought over
iu 1566 had grow 11 to 10.500,000; ten
years later the number was increased
by more than 3,000,000. In 1860 there
were 22,500,000. In 1870 u marked In-
crease was noted. Uncle Sam's flock

to an ancestry of undoubted worth. In
the south the aim should be to breed
for usefulness, not for fancy points.
I'rom a paper we cite the profits made
from a small flock. This account says:

able portion of this annual clip being
produced In South America, in which
. ountry there are 143,873,234 sheep,
leading all countries iu this industry

the United States and Canada have

Our exportation of mutton is but a
small lf< m. but the demand for the
same by our people taxes the producers
beyond thefr present to furnish mut-
not sufficient. It must be borne in
mind at all times that pedigreed stock
sometimes present woeful Imperfec
lions The form, conformation of the
animal, must be thoroughly well con
sidered and iruBt meet the require

In discussing sheep In the south,
| and from a farmers standpoint, It is
I best to pay strict attention to the-
mutton end of ihe Industry, of course
not overlooking -the wool clip, but thf
great primary object is to produc«
meat, for which a good demand nl
ways exists. Money is the great ob
ject and that type which will bring to
the owner the most ready cash is the
beat type, the best breed to produce.

America is still far behind Europe,
both in the giving of prizes and the

not likely to continue to be the case.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
"When my first baby was si*
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up aud leave a scale. Then it would
creak out again and it spread all over
his bead. All the hair came out and
•lis head was scaly all over. Then hla
tace broke out all over In red bumps
nnd it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him but,he got worse all the time. He
had it aHout six months when a friend
t 1 me about Cuticura. I sent and
pot a bottle of Cuticura R< solvent, a
c.ike of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three daya
after using them lie began to improve.
He began to take long naps and to
stop scratching his bead. After taking
two bottles of HesoltVnL two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. Ill*
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
"I have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
know u them to fail to cure what 1 put
t!iem on. I think Cuticura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap Is the best that
I have ever used for toilet pi. rposes."
