There is no. other meat which
the farmer can more economi-
cally use, while at the same
time supplying his table with
nutritious and wholesome food,
as mutton will keep fresh lon
ger than any other meat, and
may be safely cured in hot
weather. A fat sheep will go a
long ways at the farmers table,
and make as many meals as its
cash value invested in beef. The
beef must be purchased at re-
tail, while the farmer could sup
ply himself with more whole
some mutton at just what it cost
him to raise it. A neighbor or
two would share the carcass
with him, and in turn he could
do the same with them; this
would be an exchange which
would benefit both. A small
flock Of sheep is the most prof
liable investment any farmer
can make. No stock will bring
in SO much money in compari-
son with their cost, and, if he
will try it, no stock will help him
SO well in providing a supply of
wholesome food.
