WHEREAS sheep are kept for the
double purpose OF direct income in
wool, mutton, etc, and the manure
they make, il is important that the
extra food, or that outside of what
the pasture furnishes, should be
chosen with care. II would be wise
for the American farmer to become
better acquainted with cotton seed
cake, linseed oil cake, and like con.
centratcd foods. .By feeding, and
feeding literally of such foods, the
sheep not OILY grow rapidly, but the
manure they make is rich in nitro
gcnous matters and valuable fertiliz-
ing salts. The growth of animals is
a means to an end, and when the
most money is made from the flock,
and the land enriched, the most rap
idly the end is gained. The profit Of
sheep as fertilizers depends largely
upon the kind of food that is used.
