PROFITS OF SHEEP RAIsIN6-The
following from a Pennsylvania farmer
shows that sheep raising is proftabl BILE:
Il learn by the agricultural report of
1870 that there were nearly seven acres
of unimproved land in Pennsylvania to
each sheep, and that each produced a
little more than three and a half pounds
of wool This, at 40 cents per pound,
amounts to s2,500,000. My object in
giving these figures, is to show the
profit of this branch of agriculture /
am now keeping on an average farm
one sheep to every two acres improved
land. The wool of each sheep averages
four pounds, but these sheep do not
consume one half the hay and grain
raised and do not receive any roofs.
Last year | raised my first crop of
sugar beets and find that 80 or 40 tons
may be raised per acre / think these
will enable me to keep at least one
sheep TO every improved acre, and still
have one half the hay, grain, and roots
left to feed the team and necessary
cattle 1t these conclusions be correct,
and one4half of my sheep raise twin
fduipS, OOOtsl Va OiC OttC-
half lambs to each sheep, worth 81
each, we have total of Sc for lambs
and 81. so for wool per acre, or $lS,-
500, 600 for lambs and $4,000, ,000 for
wool i'll Pennsylvania. cannot give
the value of lambs for 1870, and cannot
compare the difference. The wool
produce was 6,500,000 pounds, but at
my estimate there would be 46, ,0O0, 900
pounds, making a difference of $l6,-
100000 at 40 cents per pound. This
result is, of course, not aetainable in
one or two years; it must be brought
about 10y degrees. | find sheep are
liable to disease if kept in large flocks,
unless the very best breeding ewes are
selected and the rams changed each

SELLING Hoes For the benefit of
young farmers like myself, saws a
writer in the Practical Farmer, will
give my experience in selling hogs
whether on foot or dressed would pay
best, when one has a chance of doing
either | know it is owing to the
price, age and size Of pigs. to great
extent. The price here last season
was cents on foot, 6 cents dressed.
The question with me was whether it
would pay best TO sell dressed or on
foot. tested the subject as far as my
opportunities would permit, not having
anything to weigh with but a beam.
| weighed the pigs, each one, after
killing and bleeding, then dressed and
cleaned, and after hanging an hour
weighed again, with the following re-
suit =: First pig before dressing, 224
lbs; after dressing l75 lbs; second pig
100 lbs. before cleaning. after cleaning
l54; third pig, 233 before cleaning.
after, 200. 1t will be seen that the
first pig lost 40 lbs, the second SO lbs.
the third SO lbs; in all, l23 lbo.-
Weight of all the pigs, before dressing,
Coz lbs; at cents per cwt. would be
S29.34; after dressing, 529 lbs. at 6
cts. per cwt. would oe S3l.74-a profit
of 50 40, which would hardly pay if

they knew quite as much about buck

settlement the cultivation spread over
New York, New Jersey and Pennsvl-
vania, following the colonists into the
new homes they cleared up in the for
