Catarrh of tho stomach has long been

SHEEP IN NEW ENGLAND.
A Vermont Farmer Tells About tho Profits
Of This Industry.

A Vermont Farmer Tells About the Profits
Of This Industry.
A Massachusetts, correspondent writes
as follows to The New England Home.
stead "Kindly inform me whether a
man with fair knowledge of sheep
could make success Of the business here
in New England by leasing two or more
hill farms, stocking them with from 800
to 500 ewes and devoting all time and
labor to them and such crops as it was
practical to raise for the consumption of
the sheep, thus making the sheep the
only source of income from the farm. !"
10 this query Vermont farmer replied:
IA man with fair knowledge of the
sheep business could lease farm in my
locality that would carry 200 ewes for
$125 cash yearly rental-a mountain
farm, mean. He could do the work on
the farm with, say, $50 for help in hay
ing and in the oat harvest He would
not be SO likely to succeed with two
farms. The question Of personal super
vision would enter into the problem to
his disadvantage with two farms unless
they were situated so as to be the same
as one farm. If he should get one farm
that would carry 400 or 500 ewes the
question Of hired help would trouble
him, and we must assume that your
man is poor man, with a family to
bring up and not going into the bust
ness to demonstrate proposition, but
to get a living. So he should get farm
that will pasture 200 sheep and cut hay
enough to winter them, say 45 tons. If
the fences are good-and he must look
out for that-he can do the work himself,
with the exception Of the $50, and raise
two acres of rutabagas, five acres of oats
and five acres of rape. This would keep
pair of horses two COWS and the sheep.
"Ihe 200 ewes should clip 1,4OO
pounds of wool, which would bring to-
day $500. If he does his duty by his
sheep, he should have 200 lambs to sell
and leave 20 Of his best eve lambs in
the flock. If he raises his five acres of
rape and takes care of the lambs, he
will get So each for them the 1st of No
velnber, which would amount to 81, 200.
Allowing for losses, which should not
exceed 10 ewes, he would have 10 ewes
to sell fat at So each, for $50. Now
we have 81, $50 income from the sheep.
His outgo would be: Rent, $125; wages,
$50; tools and repairs OH tools, $75;
Seeds $25; repairs Oh buildings to make
them comfortable for lambing first year,
$75; total, $3.50.
Now, without looking ahead to see
where my figures would land l have
hit upon all even $1,000 with which to
pay taxes, interest and support the fam.
lily. To this should bo added the income
from the two cows and the poultry and
pigs.
81 speak with confidence in the above
statement from the fact that have
farm nine miles from home that carry
on as sheep farm pure and simple and
know what it costs. l get much better
prices for my sheep, however, than
those above. I make my wethers yield
mo about S13 each, dressed. For IA
years my average was about $l5, but
you asked what man with fair
