SHEEP.

It is Of more Importance to the farmer
than is generally supposed, that certain
portion of his farm stock should consist Of
sbcep-Spcaking of this point, r. S. Fay,
Of Linn, recently remarked at an agricultu
raj meeting in boston, (as reported in the
N. L. Fa,naer.) "Sheep are cleaners after
other stock, and will keep the cattle pasture
in good condition by being turned into
them OCCASIONALLY to cat the coarser plants
which have been left. They will enrich
the land. There is no manure SO fertili-
zing as that of the sheep, and it does not
so readily waste by exposure as that of
other animals. Sheep may bo made ex-
ceedingly useful in helping to prepare land
for crop. A German agriculturist says
that the dropings from one thousand sheep
during single night would manure an
acre sufficiently. BY that rule a farmer
may determine how long to keep any CIV
en- number of sheep on particular piece
ofland. Mr.. Fay said he was accustomed
to fold his sheep upon land which he de-
signed for corn and other crops; and in
so doing he shut upon half an acre at a
time, keeping them there by wire fence
which was easily moved from place to place.
In this way his land was well manured
without the labor of shoveling and carting.''
These ideas are worth reading by the
farmer. We believe any farm will bear a
certain number of sheep, in proportion to
the other stock, not only without loss to
the amount of grazing which it will yield
to the cattle and horses, but to the increase
of the same. Mr.. Fay, by his management,
makes the lambs and manure pay for keep
ing the sheep, and the wool is clear profit.
