Building Up Flock of Sheep.
Colman's Rural World.

On farm one of the cheapest as well
as one of the best ways of building up a
flock of sheep is 10 select the best of the
ewes and breed to a full-blood ram of a

you are keeping sheep. Keep on selecting
the ewes, selecting a new ram every two
years in order TO infuSe new blood There
is five times as much profit In mutton as in

the food that an OK requires and will make
a growth OF nearly three-quarters of a

For 600 days it will make nearly half a
