Cattle or Sheep

1t has been asked which stock is better
for the land, cattle or sheep 1t does not
admit Of an unqualified answer When the
farmers Of this part Of New York, about for
ty years ago, entered largely on wool raising,
they observed an Improvement in their pas
lures, which led them to conclude that sheep
were better stock for land. But now most
of the farmers, or their successors, have dis
posed Of their sheep, and observe again an
improvement in their grass lands. This
would indicate that change Of stock may be
advantageous. think the benefit which APP
peared at first from keeping sheep was lost
by oyerstocking and by continued close crop
ping. Fine wool was profitable, and farmers
were tempted to keep too many sheep. Old
pastures were fed off year after year, without
ploughing the grass grew thicker, but was
very short, and the depth of roots seemed to
correspond A change from pasturiug to
moving worked great deal of improvement,
and change from sheep to cattle has a SINH
lar eiiect-partly perhaps, because the grass
is not cropped so close, and partly, ii may be
presumed, because of change.
Experience teaches us that all our dry land
lin this part of the State) should be ploughed
and rc.seeded, some soils frequently and 9TH
ers at long intervals.
Some manures seem better for certain crops,
as the sheep manure for wheat but for geu-
eral improvement Of the land, we have no
reason to believe that one kind of stock is
superior to any othor-N Reed, ia Country
