Method of Making sheep Raising

country at Il reasonable price ana,
with a good, pure-bred sire, would
raise up IA flock in II few years which
would be just as good for practical
purposes as pure-breds. But you must
start in with a clear idea of the line
you intend to follow. In caring for
our sheep we must use judgment, coup

mer they must have plenty of pasture.

the flock should be changed often from

the fall is the critical time in the
sheep business, because it is the wcan-
ing time. when our lambs must receive
no setback. TO wean lambs. put them
in good pasture with II or two old
sheep as leaders. Put in some grain
trOughS: don't feed too much grain; Il
quarter of Il pound of cats is plenty to
commence with. When the cold rains
of the fall come. be careful to house
your sheep. Don't allow them to de

fall; if YOU do. the wool will stop its
growth, and the next season you viii
find Il weak place i'll that wool, II
your fieeceS will run from two to four

strong and well as if properly fed. In
the winter be sure that you have Il va

yer hay is excellent; well cured corn
fodder or Oat straw is good. EnSilage
in many places is taking the place OF
roots and giving good satisfaction
when properly fed. In feeding. don't
spread out your hay or fodder: too
much is wasted that way. Have IA
rack to feed in. and don't give them
any more than tLcy will eat up pretty
clean. Feed regularly the same guam
tity and at the same time every day.

be abandoned, and that it is possible
that n charge of aiding and abetting
