PROFIT IN SHEEP.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Taken as a who g, extending over
ten years of work, 1 found no part
of my farming more profitable than
that part devoted to wool growing.
There have been seasons when the
profits were made on a very narrow
margin, but as In most other indus
tries the good years would come and
help to even up matters a Ii tie.
There is profit in sheep tor either
wool or mutton, but it is obtained
only through the application of good
common sense and intelligence to the
subject. The whole secret may be
summed up in one sentence: 1t
costs no more to keep good sheep
than poor ones. The former pay
and the latter DO not consequently
to make money With sheepit sneces-
sary to keep only good ones, and
then try to raise the standard still
higher. Some will say that the mi
tial expense of buying good ones is
always so much greater than to get
poor ones that there must be an
item of considerable Importance on
the side of the latter. That is both
true and false. Most of our success
full breeders ami farmers have not
gone into the market and purchased
full blooded sheep at a great expense
they have started in mOdestly, pur-
chased one good animal for the same
price another would pay for two in
ferior ones. This policy when adj
hered to has produced in tire course
of time a gradedfOck of great value.
If the matter is studied more closely
it will be seen that everything, ever
in the initial expense, is in favor of
the graded stock. There was re
quired less food TO winter the one
good sheep than the two poor ones,
and consequently the former cost
less. Usually one good sheep can be
purchased for less than the cost OF
two common kinds, and 1t n un
derstands his Buses he a go about
the country aud pick up fine OLes
here and there at comparatively
nominal prices.
The great trouble with many farm
ers is that they swamp themselves
with too many sheep at nee. They
buy them at wholesale and take
good, bad and Indifferent animals
simply because they are a bargain.
That may be all right, if it is a bar
gain, but to make the bargain pay,
it is necessary to begiu at once to
weed out all the poor and common
ones. Sell them Immediately for
what you Can get, and then build up
from the choice n g Time and
again farmers have more sheep than
they can proper feed and handle
They winter them at great expense,
intending to sell them in the spring,
forgetting that the mutton and wool
growth of the winter will not payfor
their board through the cold weather
What chan g has one to make any
kind IF a profit under such circum-
stances? The only hope for any
wool raiser is to reduce the flock TO
the lowest number commensurate
with the feeding possibilities OF the
farm and ranch, and to weed out
every common and ordinary animal.
If this is done persir tently and in
diligently there will be Il fair profit
in either mutton or wool, much de-
pending upon the location from the
city markets as to which of the two
should be made a speciality of.

The most obvious hindrances to
the unexampled prosperity of South

crop.
C2J Neglect of the fertility of the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-The pos

of the editorial is contained in the
closing sentence, which reads as fol

time coming boys. wait little long
er"
The Watterson view has served to
put a rather good-natured aspect to
the incident. AS matter OF fact
there seems to be disposition here to
let the matter drop. The Northern
press is about united in the position
that Southern criticism Is all wrong.
Southern statesmen in public life are
regretful that the Southern press Is
inclined to roast the young President
on the ground that strong talk can not
help matters so far as the dinner itself
is concerned, and may do damage, II
bad feeling is engineered. Democrats
who figure on the politics of the In
cident say that If any political advan-
tage Is to result 1t will be through 81
lence on the party OF the Southern
people. But of course there is no
such thing as silence on matter like
this. Georgia and the Carolinas are
kicking and now England is comment
ing and there is an abundance of hot
air being dispensed.
