WHEN DOES Wool Grow ?-T answer, when it is
wanted to cover the sheep and keep it warm. From
the time the sheep is SHARED until the frost comes
you can see the shape of every clip Of the shears
when the frost and cold weather comes it grows out
Immediately. Now, if you wish for q heavy clip
feed when the wool is growing Hyou have any
extra feed then is the time to use it. The wool
draws very hard upon the carcass. and growing out
fast deceives almost every farmer. They think
poor. I can make an additional pound OF wool
with one bushel of corn, and my sheep will after
wards winter bushel of corn easier Let your
sheep get poor while the wool is growing, and you
cannot recruit them until the next summer
