are high-priced because of small supplies
thousands Of new acres are planted with
them, and the next crop proves . record
breaker. But we cannot increase our
wool crop in that way. It takes two OF
three seasons to multiply the hOcks OF
sheep 50 that the wool crop is materially.
Consequently there Is less chance Of the
wool industry being overdone because OF
present high prices than that of almost
any other staple farm crop. Fewer will
go into the business Of raising lambs for
wool growing, but many Will purchase
stock already producing wool, and often
at such high prices that the wool will not
prove profitable. The wise man will go
into breeding new focks, and they will
profitable price that would ruin the
| man who as venture bought the focks
at almost prOhibitive prices.
In the young lambs we have the foun-
dation for the future wool supply, and it
is well to see that they are weeded out for
the purposes desired. Do not waste time
and money in bringing to maturity the
lambs that will never produce desirable
grade of wool. 1t is better to fatten them
up as quickly as possible for the early
spring market and secure the returns
which can be turned into something else
more profitrble. In the first place, the
lambs should not have been raised from
parents that did not have good wool pro-
ducing potency, but if the error has been
made or nature has not lived up to our
expectations it is time yet to correct the
mistake. Every good lamb bred from
wool producing sheep should be kept and
reared with care. Give chief attention to
the main purpose, that of yielding fine,
long, silky fleece, and then If nothing
happens it will pay better profit than the
lamb that is killed for the butchers mar
ket. Good breed, good feed and good at
tentiOn are all that are needed today to
make money with sheep and lambs, and
these are requirements that every shep-
herd can have.-E. p. Smith, in Ameri-

profits. And when he obtains this know
ledge he will begin to realize that all these
essential features in the care Of the dairy
COW are also essential in the MANAGEMENT
of all other kinds of stock. And as the
dairy business spreads over our country
and our people become educated as to the
conditions it requires, the practice of al
lowing the cattle to seek shelter behind a
barbwire fence during blizzard, and the
hogs to sleep in an open unprotected yard
without bed or shelter, will have passed
away. and the more businesslike and
profitable method of careful housing of
all stock in cold, stormy weather will
have taken its place.
And again I say, bid the dairy business
a glad welcome on account Of the valu-
able lesson it will teach in other lines Of
work upon the farm.-From address by
