We had q long, hard winter with
much snow. Losses of sheep have
been heavy, but l have lost only five
out of 1.50G and my sheep are now
in fine condition. The entire flock
bred from half.blood Shropshire
rams. They have been out on the
range every day Except in the storms)
all winter. Fed them every evening
on their return from the range, and
still feed little millet hay. Fed
them oats from the bundle during
the last half of the winter, and find
it capital feed for sheep.--A. B. Ber-
ry in the May Am. Sheep Breeder.
