farmer should not ignore the sheep.
A small flock will always prove
profitable, not only IN the way OF
wool and mutton, but what is OF
equal importance, in the destruc-
ton Of noxious plants aud weeds.
The greatest enemy which the FAR
mer has TO fight continually is the
weed. A small flock can be 50
managed as to make 1t a means OF
improving the farm, besides deriv.
ing a revenue from it," Mr.. Gross
method Is as soon a. the cornfeld
