purpose. If success comes M-ithout it, it is an accident and accidents seldom occur. To the breeder who has a fair start in the sheep business, the main consideration now comes before you, "what is your ideal—what goal do you want to reach?" At the very beginning a person cannot give to himself a satisfactory answer to that question, but after having raised sheep for a while and experience has taught a few lessons then the collected facts enable one to make plans for definite procedure in the future. However, this concluding of what your ideal exactly is should not be put off too long because the habit of being idealless soon affects you until there is no desire to accomplish any definite success. How many failures or "drones" are seen in this world which are the result of their having permitted surrounding circumstances to guide them"? The number is certainly large but we simply mention them here for comparison and not to be copied after. On the other hand you hear people say of someone: '' Oh! luck always comes his way and he makes a success of anything he puts his hand to." The facts usually are that such men have an ideal and are putting forth every effort along well planned and guided lines; they have a purpose of action—an imaginary standard of excellence. To have this ideal is all-important because there is a great deal of diffenmce between the "bull-headed" man and the "thinker." They may possess an equal amount of energy and perserverance but the "thinker" has a purpose of action and his work is carefully guided by deep thought, while the other class hardly know what they do want. Of course, different conditions change results but in a majority of cases the failure to succeed in sheep breeding is due to the lack of an ideal. On the other hand the good results leading to great success have come because someone was working hard along a well laid plan to reach a certain end. As soon as conditions are right, be sure to have an ideal, then work incessantly along that line. You make the circumstances instead of letting them guide you. When things come up apparently to work against you, go straight through, or around if necessary, but never say "I can't." There are many stories about that "Can't" which are familiar to us all, but it must be an unknown word to the breeder who desires to be a real flock-master. No matter whether you are producing mutton lambs for the market or pure-breds for even the show-ring, success rarely comes except as the reward of a definite purpose which has been carried out by the breeder. "Hope" is the foundation for your having a flock—yon have hoped to do a certain thing. Perhaps yovi have engaged in pure-bred breeding and now you hope to sell the kind of rams that will improve the flocks of your customers or possibly have an
