SHEEP BRING GOOD PROFIT
Lucrative Field oper cd
20 Them

An official report OF the department OF
commerce and labor declares that for
years TO come there viii be more money
In sheep than in any other igrfcultursi
product aud that the American farmer.
above all others. Is in n position to
profit by this condition
The reason why sheep raising is TO be
so profitable Is TO be found In the fact
that the iocks Of the world are declining
~ an alarming rate. In little moro
than 30 years. or since 1873. this decline
shows loss of no fewer than 90. 900 600
head. an average OF more than 5000 900
a year. At the present time the Ameri-
can farmer has the bulk OF the sheep
trade with Great Britain. but he is not a
factor In the mutton market and last
year he furnished only three-tenths or
one per cent. Of the wool imports or
Great Britain.
The British trade In sheep imports last
year was 3s2.240. and of these the United
States supplied 2s4 500. But while the
British imported 353o.s59 hundred
weights OF mutton IN 1904. the American
farmer supplied only 1920 hundred
weights OF this vast amount. Great
Britain imported Sl446S01e pounds OF
wool last year. but bought only 1857
$50 pounds from the American farmer
IL may thus be seen what an immense
field OF trade. even with one nation
alone. Is open 20 American enterprise
In a single agricultural product. Argen-
tina. Australia and New Zealand largely
supplied the British trade Ia mutton and
wool last year.
