The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1874-04-25

packing wool 5000; salt, S35; shedding for
winter, $50: losses at two per cent, $7O-to-
tai, Sl,035. BY 4,j00 lbs of wool, at 40c. per
ID, 81 800; 400 lambs, at $3.50, $l,100; total,
$4,000
Mr.. Myers considers his allowance for ex-
penses very liberal. lie charges hay At too
high figure, and the percentage of loss is
not generally so large as stated, AS sheep are
subject to no disease whatever, on the Ne
braska prairie. One man also could take
charge of flock of thousand during the
summer months; and, in winter, one boy
could feed them, AS it is best to les the sheep
run to the day all the time, and the oats are
to be fed in the sheaf Mr.. Myers further
claims that If a farmer will do most Of his
work himself hiring help only when 1t is
necessary-for harvesting hay, shearing &c,
the sheep will pay him $500 per head, as
against $500 when help is hired literally
Mr.. Myers estimates his sheep to be worth
$3.50 each. On 1000 sheep the investment
would be $500; and, as the net profit shown
above amounts to $l,765, the return on the in
vestment is over 50 per cent.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1874-04-25
Profits Of sheep Farming in Nebraska.

A farmer who settles on the fertile prairie
Of Nebraska should make livestock" a
watchword. A correspondent in that State
sends us the following encouraging show
ing made by Mr.. Myers, of Gage county, n
sheep farmer, who has been about tour years
in Nebraska. Gage county is in the south
ern portion of the state; and u branch of the
Burlington & Missouri River Railroad runs
through IT, The land is good and the natural
grasses sweet and nutritive; but it IS no more
than fair average of Nebraska, south of the
Platte.
Mr.. Myers thus figures" the problem OF
sheep farming in Nebraska, with u flock OF
1000 head 100 tons of hay, costing $500
per ton for putting up, $500; 500 bushels OF
sheaf oats, 800; shepherding for months,
$3.50; wages of one man for ( months. 500;
do, one month, $50; washing, sheariug and
