Watch the Sheep. When you see a
sheep biting itself lose no time In look
ing for the cause and removing II. II
may be tlcka or neas. or some trouble
with the skin; but, whatever II ls, II Is
taking your profit away. The sheep
should be dipped In any good standard
dip without loss OF time. The profit
from lamb or a sheep Is so small that
one may think It does not pay to do
this for one sheep. But remember that
our great corn crop OF two hundred
thousand million ears goes through the
farmers hands, one ear at time. and
II one ear Is not worth saving, on this
principle. tho whole crop might be
thrown away. one ear At a time. The
great ocean is made up OF single drops
OF rain, that have fallen one by one.
And a shepherd that desplses one single
lamb viii never have a profitable dock.
