Sheep on the Farm.

In spite of all that has been written
upon the subject of the profit of keep
ing a few sheep on the farm, in spite
of all the favorable experiments that
have been made and reported, and not
withstanding the fact that every farm
er in the country could profitably keep
few sheep, says the Shepherds Cri-
teriOn, the average farmer pays no at
tention to this important branch of
the live stock industry of the country
and only here and there can a flock
of sheep be found On every farm can
be seen great quantities of rough feed
going to waste-feed that neither
horses nor cattle will touch, but which
could be turned into mutton and wool
at good profit.
1t is time the farmer shook himself
and awoke to his opportunities. He is
actually losing money every day in
not keeping flock of sheep, not only
to consume the rough feed that other
wise is worse than wasted, but to en-
rich the soil and make his farm more
productive and consequently more
profitable. There is many a rundown
farm in every state, worn out and UNI
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1905-08-01

profitable comparatively, that could be
redeemed and made an hundred fold
more productive were a flock of sheep
to be kept on the farm a few years.
Somehow the average farmer is ig-
norant of the value of sheep on the
farm, and not being interested he does
not take the time to post himself. He
and his hired man put in good share
of their time destroying weeds and
trying to keep them down, when a
flock of sheep would do this work, and
do it more effectively converting the
waste into mmOdity-muttOn-
that always brings a good price on
the market, thus adding a double prof
it to the farm.
After his grain is harvested the
weeds spring up and go to seed in the
field, multiplying year after year, when
a few sheep turned into the stubble
would destroy the weeds, pick up the
waste grain, and make more mutton
without any actual outlay.
After the corn is laid by" millions
of weeds spring up on every acre OF
land, and in the absence of flock of
sheep these weeds go to seed and
Ildh6 WSSuo duOthOi JOe'i, "iSh
a flock of sheep would clean them up
without disturbing the corn, and here
we have some more mutton without
cost. Then, again, sheep are valuable
in helping to clean brush land. While
they are not browsers like the goat,
there is much of the underground that
they will eat with a relish, and this in
turn is converted into mutton.
When the actual cost of the feed
consumed is considered, there is NO
other animal that brings so great a
profit, pound for pound, as the sheep.
1t is safe to say that at least so per
cent of the feed consumed would
otherwise go to waste. To be sure,
when finishing a bunch of sheep or
lambs for market, they will need
more succulent food for while, but
even when on a grain ration, with
clover hay, they will return profit
for every pound of food consumed.
Another thing, instead of impoverish-
ing the soil, flock of sheep will leave
the land in better condition than when
put upon it, distributing the manure
waste from the weeds, brush, etc.
evenly over the farm as no other ami
NAL does, and making the waste places
to blossom as the rose"
Many a farmer hesitates to go into
