safe and profitable parts of the sheep in
dustry. Lambs may be found skipping in
the fields at Christmas without any spec
ial care of the owners. The lambs come
early because the winter climate is such
as to bring the ewes into breeding con-
dition in good time for these early
births. My small flock of ewes were all
safely in lamb some time in August,
and by New Years day there were sew
eral lambs. The whole cost of feeding
the flock has been since this time last
year less than 80 cents for each sheep,
and that in such a way as does not rep
resent l cent in money. An old pasture
which has heretofore given me five
good crops of hay and as many years
feeding for the COWS, and the last year
for the sheep, has fed the flock with
the help Cf less than $40 worth of corn
for nearly 80 ewes. One bag of salt has
been the only real money purchase in
the year. And this is on the mountains
where some little hand feeding is need
ed sometimes during the winter, while
in the lowlands below the mountains
there need be no hand feeding at all ex-
cept as it might be judicious while the
lambs are growing.
There is no necessity for any more
shelter for the flock i'll the low country,
from the mountains to the seashore,
than there is in England, where the
docks feed on roots grown specially for
them, and on the coarse fodder which
here costs a mere trifie and may be
grown without the expenditure of a
cent in money, a few days labor only
being needed to produce the corn re-
quired, and roots may be grown with
the greatest ease for open field feeding
in the winter.
This state-North Carolina-may be
said to be the center of the south. It is
the southern keystone state and is per-
haps especially favored i'll all things
that make it desirable for this industry.
But what i am writing applies every.
where below the old Mason and Dixon's
line or south Of the north line of Vir-
ginia. And as TO all this grand region
down to the southern limit 1 am mere
ly stating few of the many favorable
points of view which are suggested by
one of the letters before me. Good stock
ewes are scarcely to be bought here.
There are not enough to go around now,
and the brisk demands of the cattle buy
ers are clearing off the stock to be spared
as fast as they can get common sheep
at cents pound live weight. Better
sheep bring 8 cents pound, and few
hundreds of ordinary sheep were taken
hence to ship to faroff Dakota to stock
the ranges there. The Southdown and
the Shropshire have been brought here,
and the GROSS is an excellent sheep for
the markets, while the lambs are just
what are required for the best sale. We
have none of those deadly parasites here
which torment the sheep elsewhere, ex-
cept so far as they have been brought
in by sheep from other and infected To-
calities. In the IL years have been
