Give sheep Plenty of Room.

After SOME years experience in rails
ing sheep, have concluded that it is
not best to keep them confined too
closely, writes Frank NJ Beverly in
Land and Living Their confinement
in one place breeds disease and it may
be said is a drawback generally. Sheep
will not thrive alone on what you may
feed them, but they require something
that is indigenous to the woodlands.
The farmers in Virginia % years ago
raised large hocks of sheep, and they
were allowed to run in the woods both
winter and summer, except during deep
and continued SHOWS, when they were
brought in to keep them from becoming
poisoned by eating ivy. They had to be
given salt. but required little in the
way of feeding. They were thrifty, and
always looked clean and healthful OF
course this plan is not now practicable,
except in IA few of the more isolated sec
tions of the country, but the plan should
be carried out so far as circumstances
will permit. Your fiocks may have to
be kept within fenced Enclosures, but
they should be shifted from one place to
another as often as possible. knew a
man few years ago who bought up
100 or more sheep during the fall and
winter intending TO go into the busi-
ness of sheep raising on rather large
scale. He kept them in field where
there was large barn. in which he
housed them every night. He fed them
all they would eat of corn, fodder. hay
and oats, but when summer came about
One-half Of them died, and the other
half looked az if they might as well die.
He then sold the flock at less than half
the price per head he had paid, and thus
ended his dream of sheep raising.
