Sheep on a Farm.

Wool has almost ceased to be factor
in the sheep industry, as farmers have
discovered that there is more money in
selling early lambs and fat wethers than
to depend solely upon wool as a source
OF profit from sheep. The fleece Is sim
ply a by-product, and no progressive
farmer now expects 10 make sheep pay
with the wool as the principal source OF
revenue from the flock. The majority or
farmers do not have large focks, Is
sheep being considered as above the
average, and they are kept largely be-
cause they are OF valuable assistance on
the farm in consuming weeds and other
waste materials that possess no value.
Ii Is well known that n flock OF sheep
will clear a field OF weeds rapidly, and
they will also keep the pests down. While
so doing they distribute manure evenly
on the ground and press IL into the soil
with their feet. For these advantages
from sheep there are farmers who would
not be without them. as they save labor
and demand but little attention. 1t has
been frequently demonstrated that from
fields upon which large fiocks OF sheep
have been hurdled tho yields OF grain
have been doubled. due TO the fertility
added 20 the soil by the sheep. Farmers
who give their attention TO early lambs
and the production OF choice mutton
have found Southdown rams excellent
for the Improvement OF the common
focks, as the southdown is hardy. and
such sheep can be kept In larger fiocks
than the Oxfords or Shropshires, though
the latter breeds are larger In size than
the southdown. The preference for the
southdown is also due TO the fact that
the grades are excellent foragers and
can subsist on scanty herbage compared
with somc other breeds or crosses. Wher-
ever cattle are kept sheep can ind also
a place. as the sneep will clean up lands
upon which the cattle may leave much
that could be turned into profit. No
farmer, however. can expect the best re-
suits from sheep without care but sheep
require less attention than other animals
