sheep Raising.

Farmers generally pay too little
attention to the business of sheep
farming. This is owing partly to
the havoc committed among tiocks
by vicious dogs, and partly to u
want of knowledge or. appreciation
of the value of the industry even in
localities comparatively exempt from
canine raids. That there is profit in
the enterprise, intelligcntly conduct
ed, is we'll illustrated by the expert
encc of Il farmer in Stearns county,
which is given in the Todd County
Argus. 1t says: "'rhirteen years ago
a man by the name of William Neil
came to Sank Center from Scotland.
When he came here he was poor,
not having money enough to buy a
COW. He went to work by day work
for Alexander Moore, and after a
time got little money accumulated
and entered little piece of land at
Hartford, Todd county, where he
now lives, the possessor and owner
of $50 acres of land, 500 head of
good sheep, 20 head of cattle and s
head of horses, and raised upwards
of a thousand bushels of grain last
year, and he owes no man a cent.
Mr.. Neil commenced raising sheep
about eight years ago, and to them
