There was nearly an equal division be-

Sheep are the earliest live stock of
which we have any history and have
been kept and improved from that day
to this by the most civilized nations in
the world, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. This timid animal, the type Of
meekness and purity, has no doubt had
much to do with the moral elevation Of
men in all ages. Abel was keeper Of
sheep and brought to the altar Of the
Lord the flrstlings Of his flock, and the
fat thereof and lambs were the most
frequent sacrifices of the ancient Jews.
The felting of the wool and the wear
ing Of cloth from 1t was evidently one
Of the earliest arts Of man. This anil
NAL has always eIerted an ameliorat-
Ing influence on man, enriching the
soil, as well as feeding and clothing the
race, especially in all but the warmest
climates. There are many varieties,
both wild and domesticated, the differ
entiation in domestication being In the
direction Of mutton growing and wool
growing, many Of the best mutton
breeds being also producers Of heavy
ueeCGS Oh uSeI III IL nOl lHe WOOlS, lOL
there are many purposes for which the
finest grades of wool are not suited.
Sheep have always and in every civil
lized country been found fairly profita-
BILE. But it is as farm animal rather
than a ranch animal that they develop
their finest traits, for thus kept they
can be given the careful treatment that
their nature demands. On most farms
where there are no sheep small flock
would be a source Of profit from their
mutton and wool, but the effect Of their
droppings upon the soil would fully
pay for the care they require. The
writer once covered seven acres Of me-
dunn sandy soil with sheep pens, and
the land, cultivated for 13 successive
years in corn and cotton alternately,
yielded an average of 515 pounds Of
lint cotton and &c bushels Of corn with
out another pound Of fertilizer. One
year the seven acres yielded nine bales
Of 512 pounds each. Our people should
keep fewer dogs and more sheep.

LAMBS FOR MARKET.
PROFIT In Feeding Near the Large
Cities.

PROFIT In Feeding Near the Large
Cities.
Many stock farmers near the large
cities are now purchasing and feeding
lambs for the winter and spring mar
kets, says c. T. Bigelow in The Ameri-
can Cultivator. They do not raise these
lambs, but purchase them from the
great sheep ranges Of the west, south
west and northwest. Sheep raisers of
these large ranges do not find 1t profita-
BILE to feed the lambs direct for the
market, and even If they did not fatten
them up they might lose half their
weight In transit and thus cause loss
to the shippers. 1t has been found that
these lambs can be more profitably fed
nearer the markets. Besides, on the
great sheep ranges there are not the
necessary foods and facilities for feed
ing the lambs for market, and 1t would
be a waste of time and energy to at
tempt to prepare the animals for the
market.
he WIZ nave W
feed these young lambs for the market
have made a specially of the business,
and they have so far found it profita-
BILE industry. They are purchased all
the way from $2.10 to $3.50 per 100
pounds, with the freight paid to certain
points, generally half the way to the
large markets. The sheep provides
sufficient food to keep the lambs In
good condition until arrival. A carload
of these lambs Is received by feeder,
who Immediately proceeds to feed each
one with the idea of fattening 1t as
quickly as possible for the market. The
lambs are housed under sheds where
they can receive all necessary protec-
ton from inclement weather and are
fed on good corn, hay, alfalfa and
roots. Feeding Is reduced to a system,
and the feeder becomes an expert In
lamb troubles. He is able to single out
any creature that is sick and by doctor
ing it carefully for few days Is gener-
ally able to return II to the flock strong
and vigorous once more. Loss In the
lambs Is thus very small, and 1T Is only
by eliminating the danger of loss
through sickness and accident that the
business is made profitable. Scab and
other diseases are watched for careful
ly, and its appearance in the flock Is
the signal for instant dipping. Lambs
are bought In the fall and early winter,
sometimes up as late as January; then
the animals are fattened for the Febru-
ary, March and April markets, the
most profitable ones of the year. All
are bought when from 4 to 6 months
old and are kept in the feeding places
from four to eight weeks. In this time
their weights on an average are In
creased about one-third, and the feed
ers receive from $5 to So per hundred
weight, according to the market and
season, thus realizing profit in higher
prices and from heavier lambs.
