three resources to fall back upon. And this is
the whole secret Of the success Of mixed sys-
tenn Of agriculture.
It is t. common assertion that sheep canuct
be proftably raised in Illinois. And one Of
the assigned reasons is, that they will thrive
only in 4 billy. timbered country. Admit that
this is true, are there no timbered. li11y tracts
in Illinoiss There is vary little difference he.
tween the soil and climate of Southern Wiscon.
eonsin and Northern Illinois. The farmers oI
somo of the lower counties of Wisconsin are
growing rich By raising sheep. The produc.
tivcness Of their lands is constantly increasing;
and their wool crop comes in at time when
they have little else to sell. In no other por.
ton Of that State are there such evidences o.
prosperity. In that section of Michigan lyine
