Sheep Notes.

Sheep are close troopers and despise
long grass.
Regular feeding makes even and
well marbled mutton.
Good sheep, good land, and good
roots usually go together. Keep the
lambs growing. They will never re-
cover from setback.
Regular feeding and steady growth
make good wool as well as good lambs.
If early lambs are to be made a
speciality, the ewes must be bred in
good season.
Lots of bone, large, strong Joints
and a fiat rather than a round pipe
stem leg are the things to insist upon,
says Wool Markets and Sheep. The
belly and back line should both be
straight, the back broad and the skin
bright red, though dark and even
lighter skinned rams are sometimes
very vigorous. This is not the rule,
however.
