Such is reasonable opinion. The herds Of

VALUE oF sHEEP To FARMERs.

Sheep are valuable to the farmer, not ONLY
from the product Of wool and mutton, but,
from the tendency which their keeping has
to improve and enrich his lands for all
agricultural purposes. They do this:
|. BY the consumption of food refused by
other animals, in summer; turning waste
vegetation to use, and giving rough and
bushy pastures smoother appearance, and
in time eradicating wild plants, so that good
grasses and white clover may take their
place. In this respect sheep are invaluable
to pastures on soils too steep or too stony for
the pillow. In winter, the coarser part OF the
hay refused BY horses and cows, are readily
eaten by sheep. while other stock will gener-
ally eat most OF that left by these animals.
For these reasons, among Others, no grazing
farm should be without flock Of sheep for
il has been found that as many cattle and
horses can be keptas without them, and with
out any injury to the farm for other purposes.
A small flock, we said B; perhaps half dozen
to each horse and COW would be proper pro-
portion. A variety Of circumstances would
influence this point, such as the character Of
the pasturage, and proportion Of the same
fitted and desirable for tllage.
2. Sheep enrich land by the production Of
large quantities Of excellent manure. a
farmer Of long experience in sheep husband
~ thought there was no manure 80 fertilizing
as that of sheep, and-of which there is no
doubt-lhat none dropped by the animal up
on the land suffered 80 little By waste from
exposure. A German agricultural writer has
calculated that the droppings from one thous.
and sheep, during single nght, will man
ure an acre sufficiently for any crop.
By using portable fence, and moving
the same from time 70 time, farmer might
manure distant field with sheep al less ex-
pense than that Of carting and spreading barn
manure. Country Gent.
