Management of Sheep.

The inquiry is often made of me
how l manage my sheep to obtain a
yield Of wool from year to year.
Some say, "You must feed 4 large
amount of grain" and when | tell
them that feed no grain to my sheep
in the last three or four years, they
seem surprised; but such is the fact.
If grain is fed, corn is best, and
should be fed in the months of No.
vembor and December, assisting ma
ture (thc animaD in its efforts to
clothc itself with a heavy warm coat,
preparatory for Winter, 1t is in
these months that wool grows the
fastest for the reason above stated.
My sheep are the pure bred Span.
ish Merinos, and | raise no ticks. A
sheep that is infested with ticks can
not produce a heavy fleece of WOOL
4 sure and cheap preventive is to
feed once in two weeks, onc.twenti-
eth part of sulphur with their salt;
it not only prevents ticks, but also
the various skin diseases.
