Kicking ovss . pile of sAssp drop pings that lay h clulAp of dark green blue grass, hs sAiA: 'ASrs is the secrst." Nothing equal to sheep for reclaiminS lana. In England, l have seen twenty sheep to the acro grazing over . sod that would put our best Kentucky sods to shame. We want sheep 10 clean up these weeds that are crowding everything else out. Sheep were not made to live on weeds. but with every meal they will take goodly supply n . ssrt of dessert I watched a lamb one afternoon for one hour and in that hour listed le different kinds of weeds that l saw her bite on. The heAde of o9-syA rag-weed and carrot that she ate h this hour would certainly have run up close to 100.
 In the wintsr-bound north expsH- sive sheep barns must bs constructed to protect the sheep from the rigors of the cold and wind The cold rains make 1t necessary to provide good shelter and the outlay is considerable During the winter months the sheep can find nothing to eat in the fields for two or three months. No grass food can endure the cold Blue grass is dry and worthless, and the filling of the sheeps' stomachs with this un- nutritious stun Is simply cheating the poor animals out of living. In the balmy south there is not much winter for sheep. In fact the sheep must feel that their overcoats are not need. ed Some form of green food can bs kept in the hslds nearly all winter- H. B.
