The carcass cab be made larger and

butcher in autumn. yield the greatest
profit. A lamb, dropped early and
we'll kept, will turn gu, a fleece equal
and sometimes superior 10 a mature
sheep, and will DO sheep in size. We
saw it stated in the Indiana Farmer
where five lambs sLearcd ~ pounds

Of '.clear wool" The breed was a
cross of the Colswold and Leices-

AT o recent sale Of short-horns in
England it was shown that young bull
locks, from a year to a year and a half
old, can be fattened more cheaply and
with greater profit than if held TO q
greater age, the animal to be fed. for
the shamb!es from birth. But the
principle applies to other breeds and
other stock, notably swing; and as to
sheep, where is there greater profit, If
rightly managed, than in fitting lambs
for the butchers? Dropped in the
spring and sold in the fall, time not
over five months, lambs can be made
to yield more percentage OF profit on
their keep than ia obtained from the
wool and the increase ofcarcass of the
