sh..p h..d,d on .b. Farm.

A professor in a western college Of
agriculture recently made the sweep
ing assertion, sheep should be kept
ON every farm" 1t is certain that
there Is not a farm that would fail to
be benefited by sheep either in large or
small numbers. Sheep could be prof
itably handled on practically every
farm In connection with the grain
crops. They occupy a place in the
economy of the farm that no other ani-
NAL can fill SO well in consuming the
straw, hay, cornstalks and other refuse
fodder. They are beneficial in many
other ways too numerous to mention,
but their chief value perhaps lies in
their service as fertilizers. Next in
importance Is their service in clearing
land of plants, and in some cases
weeds, which no other grazing animal
would feed upon.-Farm Progress.
