aferc is probably TO one interest at present
connected with agricultural economy in the
VEST that is attracting go much the atten-
tion Of intelligent, progressive farmcrs as
tie matter Of sheep husbandry; and mono in
Which prevails 60 much real Ignorance as to
the Practical details connected Herewith.
This latter f1ct arises from the long existence
OF the notion, and until within the last five
or ak years, that our prairics were uusuitcd
10 sleep raising. These notions, which long
possessed the minds of orr farmers, have hip
PLY yielded to a more Intelligent apprccis-
lion Of the whole matter: and now there
seems even more anxiety to engage in the
business than there was previously to con
d'mn and avoid it. Tie q Practical shep-
nerd" which has been written and published
" Ut. Randall, is one greatly needed by our
aeflculturists, and no book could havc been
produced which moro. thoroughly meets the
necessities and requirements Of the subject.
