Management Of Sheep, :.

"A correspondent. gives some excel,
lent advice in the Goaatry Gentleman
concerning the management Of sheep,
from which we quote the following !
The number Of sheep in a summer
flock. il the pasture is not rough, there
BY causing too much travel BY the sheep
to get their living, may be as many as
the owner can oversee and care for in
the winter not more than 100 should be
kept together, and smaller flock is
preferable in every respect. Sheep. il
kept in large docks, do not winter as
we'll, besides wasting more feed in pro
portion. 4.5,. s.
As to which breed will stand the
greatest amount Of cold, probably the
Vermont merinoes suffer the least from
cold, but any sheep, if strong and
healthy. with plenty to eat. win endure
any amountof cold weather II they are
only kept in a dry yard and have dry
place to eat and sleep in. Here is the
great cause Of failure in many cases
muddy yards and leaky sheds, or worse,
no sheds at all. & M vess aaii
The best food for sheep ever used,
all things considered, is good. bright,
early-cut hay, and one peck Of corn and
oats. mixed equal parts to 100 sheep
daily. Roots may be well enough, but
one season cured me Of any desire to
raise and feed them. = : 3g 4 eAf
The sheds for 200 ewes should con-
tain 1900 square feet Of flooring, and
more is better 5; esch sheep needs at
least ten square feet Of space.
Opinions differ as to the number of
sheep to be apportioned TO one ram |
many think 100 enough. Unless every
thing is arranged for the purpose of
raising very early or winter lambs, it is
best to have them come about the time
grass grows I; but to do this. pasture
must be had convenient to the barn, as
they should be guarded nights during
