The profit of sheep farming says Amer.
icus, Ca, Recorder, conducted in small
way are illustrated by Maj. ]. 7. Howell,
who has q flock OF nine sheep which this
wear had nine lambs off of which he
sheared 44Npounds of wool for which he
got 26l cents per pound. So that on an
investment OF $13 so he makes a profit
OF Sl1.66 for wool, and has doubled his
flock. AS for the cost of keeping, it is
simply nothing, they living off the pick
ings OF farm. There is no farm but can
carry without extra cost from 25 to 100
sheep and our farmers will find it profit
able, for the wool will bring them the
money at time when they will most
need money, while by having a few in
good condition they can always have the
most wholesome meat at comparatively
no cost.
