Sheen Are Good EertiIjzers

When a flock Of sheep is kept on a
field the land will be made fertile in a
short time. as the sheep not only dis
tribute the manure, but press it into
the ground by trampling, the loss being
but little. For that reason it has been
said that ''the foot of the sheep is gold
to the land \ flock Of sheep, how
ever, cannot add anything TO the land
other than TO prevent waste of materi-
ais, which they naturally consume and
are therefore, more valuable when
they are fed at q barn at night, the
additional food rendering the manure
valuable.
