GLAND GRAFTING

SHEEP BIG AS OXEN

VORONOFFS IDEA

NEW ZEALAND INTERESTED

(By Teleyraph.—Press Association.)

(Received 17th March, 2 p.m.)

PARIS, 16th March.

Dr. Voronoff announces that his experiments in 1924 in grafting an extra gland on healthy sheep were a revelation, but the expenses were heavy. He has now discovered that the offspring of grafted sheep were eight pounds heavier at five mouths than lambs from sheep untreated. Dr. Voronoff proposes to graft glands upon the offspring of treated sheep now with a view to breeding sheep as big as oxen, but to obtain the maximum quantity of wool Dr. Voronoff has been requested to send an expert to New Zealand to give instruction in the method. He adds: "Sheep which usually die at fourteen years, wheu treated, live to twenty. Instead of enduring old age for four years they die suddenly in a week, the same thing as probably occurs with human beings." Dr. Vorouoff is going to Algeria for a fortnight to experiment at tho Government ranch with three thousand sheep.
