not only q number of breeds of widely

Frank Wood of Hartford shipped to

AT Chicago the current receipts of
sheep have increased. The receipts
last week were 900 sheep against
1927 for the corresponding week last

The time occupied in digestion in
sheep Is comparatively long. 1t has
been found by numerous observations
that, after sudden alteration of the
feeding, tie remnants of tho former
fodder are still recognizable In the ex-
crements for as many as five days.

corning a flock of sheep. In well

thirty of the sheep having three lambs
each and the others four each. The
youngsters are all nice strong lambs.
the flock is Of the pure bred black faced
kind.

much as the dog. The sheep were
shipped to Philadelphia for breeding
purposes.

The Italy sheep are raised on the
nights of the mountains, above tho line
where olives or grapes can be profitably
raised. They have shepherds, who
wear peculiar dress, consisting OF a
