In this estimate it will be seen that
the first cost Of the sheep is $500. The
net profits, inter liberal allowance for
keeping, is sl7s,5O, or nearly thirty.two
per cont, on the investment This is
not all the profits from the business, for
in il is allowed liberal profit on the
labor in securing and feeding the hay
and corn; also, instead of selling tho
lambs in the fall, at $3.50, they may be
wintered, shOrn, and put together,
making a lot Of $50 for another horder
during the summer, thus increasing the
net proceeds, or compromising the
profits.
But suppose herdor cOsts more than
tho very low sum Of thirty dollars
month and the fleocos yield only four
pounds Of wool instead OF seven pounds,
and something has to be paid, rs is very
probable, for the uso Of pasture, how
much OF the above net profits will be
lett On the other hand, II each Of the
ten farmers were to care for his own
flock ut home he would have quantity
of manure upon his fields. which alone
would give a good profit upon his
investment.

byNltlu on tue EuftHs
We had two neighbors, in my boy.
hood, who pursued methods directly OPP.
posite in their manner Of doing work.
One was systematic. The labor for the
dry was written out in the morning and
strictly adhered TO. When job was
begun, II was male the order of the day.
All hands turnedto, and made light worh
of what wOuld otherwise have been
tedious and unpleasant. His work was
always done in season; well done, be
cause done under his supervision, md by
sprGyiouslyc onceivedp lan. Hispremisei
were very neat mud orderly. He added
largely to his inheritance.
Tho other had no system, but WORKED
at random. His forces were divided,
each man doing n different kind of work,
ON different parts Of tho farm. He sci.
dom finished u job in the time OF it, but
left them oftentimes for long time un
finished. His work was almost Away
behind hand; much of il was poorly
done. His premises were eyer in {
aloyenly and disorderly condition. Al
though Woodworking mnn, he added
but little To his property. Both have
long since passed away, but the effect O
their different management is US visible
to-day rs during their lives.
