Why So Few Sheep Are Raised In Georgia.

QUESTION. is 1t that in Georgia,
many parts of which state are pecu.
Harry adapted to sheep raising, there are
SO rev sheep raised? One would suppose
that If properly managed it could be
made most profitable business.
ANswER.-In southern Georgia there
are good many sheep raised Several
years ago one of the largest sheep own
ers there reported that he clipped an
nually 80 cents worth of wool from
sheep, which cost him only IA cents
head in expenses. There is only one
reason why sheep husbandry is not one
OF the leading industries of the state,
and that is, there is no law for their
protection against the dogs which roam
at will through the country. 1t has
been said by men of experience that one
acre we'll sodded in Bermuda grass will
support five sheep nine months of each
year. This was on ordinary land, which
had not yielded profitable returns in
other crops For the remaining three
months we have other crops, such as
rye, turnips, barley, potatoes and the
hardy native grasses, all of which can be
grown in abundance. The sheep more
than pay for their keep in the increased
fertility of land on which they are folded.
One hundred sheep regularly folded
will fertilize eight acres of land to such
a degree as will enable it to double the
crops produced on it. Besides the added
value to the lands in the droppings we
have the crop Of wool and the increase of
the flock. which last may be reasona-
bly, calculated as 80 per cent of the
whole. Nor are these all. The charac-
ter Of the crops required to support the
sheep are just those needed to recuper-
ate our too often exhausted lands. Ber~
muda is particularly adapted to these
lands and the grass roots serve to hold
the soil together and prevent the wash
ing away of the accommodating vegeta-
BILE matter. Many worn fields could be
thus rehabilitated, that now offer 0o
encouragement to cultivation in 0tRer
crops. We trust the day WILL dawn
when the present difficulties in the way
OF successful sheep raising will be re.
moved, and instead of about 800, 009, the
present number of sheep in the state
Georgia will contain at least 5000, 0OC
or 100000. Cur mild winters anC
early springs give Us many advantages
of whioh growers north of US ere de-
prived. IL some sections of the state
the sheep receive no attention beyond
the annual clipping, and until the price
Of wool was Sc much reduced they were
even under 'tkis careless management
found profitable. If more attention
were given to raising crops for tkem, to
improving the breeds, and to the gen.
eral care of the focks, there is 40 rec.
son, except the one mentioned, why
sheep raising should not be made profit
able in our section. An experienced
sheep raiser in Southeastern Georgia
once said to me, that it was cheaper in
that section to raise sheep than q
chicken, because the chickens had to be
fed, while the only attention the sheep
received was an occasional salting.-

How to Tell the Age of sheep.

QUEsTIoN.-How can l tell the age of
Sheep
ANSWER. By examining the front
teeth. The first year, eight small teeth
make their appearance, The second
year the two middle ones are shed, and
two teeth Of anuch larger size take their
place. The third year two other small
teeth are shed. one on each side of the
two center teeth, and they are replaced
by two large teeth; thus giving them
four large teeth in front, on each side
of which are two small, pointed ones.
In the fourth year, this process is re.
peated. the animal then having six large
teeth in front, hanked on each side by
one small tooth. In the fifth year the
last of the small teeth are lost. and are
replaced by large ones, thus giving them
eight large front teeth. In the sixth
or seventh year, they generally begin
to drop out, and if not they will begin
to break or show signs of wearing

QUESTION. Il notice that there ia
much complaint from congresses as to
the wire ties with which some of the
cotton has been baled Are these the
same ties of which you speak in your
last months report, or are there other
patents on the market?
ANSWER -There have been several
ties used, all more or less unsatisfactory
on account of the inflexible quality of
the wire, light weight and inconvenient
methods of fastening. Most of these
are single, large wires, without buckles
or other means of fastening quickly and
securely. The Hit patent wire tie, to
which we called attention last month.
consists of two flexible wires, with pat
ent buckle, which can be quickly and
securely adjusted, and weighs 80 pounds
to the bundle. Wherever this has been
tried it has proven not only equal to,
but superior in many respects, to the
fat tie. Had it been patented earlier in
the season, there is no doubt that it

lustrate this, one of the most profitable
peach orchards in New Jersey received
annually 200 pounds nitrate of soda, 200
pounds ground bone, 200 pounds acid
phosphate and 200 pounds nitrate of pot
ash. This from the time the trees were
years old, until now they are ~ years
old, with no signs of decay. where the
average life of peach tree is only
years. The following figures taken

You will thus see that by the proper

In your case, supply the nitrogen by
sowing peas, and you will only have to
buy the potash and acid phosphate. -
