Sheen Good Farm Stock.


In review of the past and future
outlook for farm live stock, A. A.
Ward, a noted sheep grower of New
York, says:
In considering the question of profit
in sheep breeding it must be conceded
there is no product of the farm that
has sold at such uniformly high prices
during recent years as mas meats of
all kinds. and the tendency is toward
still higher values in the future,
while, in addition to the cash profits
in connection with the production of
meat, there is always the additional
advantage of a maintenance, if not an
increase, of the fertility of the soil
and consequently greater crop pro-
duction, and the ability to manage
the farm successfully with less hired
help.
In choosing between different
kinds of meat-producing animals it
should always be borne in mind that
in some reliable feeding experiments
at our experiment stations, as we'll
as in the experience of farmers who
have been close observers, it has been
clearly demonstrated that a given
amount of value of feed will produce
more pounds of mutton than of beef,
and, notwithstanding this fact of
cheaper production, the market value
of mutton is ordinarily greater than
of beef of relative quality. In ad-
dition to this advantage of greater
value of product this class of live
stock requires a smaller investment
of capital tc start with and cash re.
turns are sooner realized, as the lamb
goes to market in prime condition at
some time during its first year, while
the steer will require at least two
years to mature. Then there Is the
additional income to be derived from
the sale of wood, which should make
substantial balance in favor of
sheep breeding as compared with
other kinds of live stock.
There can be no question as to
profit in keeping sheep, provided
those of the best mutton type are
bred and they are intelligently cared
for AS to permanency of the de.
mand or prospect for continuance
of the present high prices, every in
dication points that way. There has
been no increase in numbers OF sheep
kept on farms east of the Mississippi
River, and there are large areas of
country in the far West over which
sheep have pastured for many years
that are now taken up and fenced or
closed to the pasturage of sheep for
ever. and all this time, while the
ranges are being more and more lin.
tied, the demand for good mutton has
been an increasing one. I think we
are justified in the belief that there
is no branch of farming that promises
greater permanence or more liberal
profits than does sheep breeding and
feeding.

Good breeding and selection must be
followed if we succeed in producing
the finest quality of bacon. But my
point is this, | do not believe that i.
is necessary to go outside of the
four great breeds of swine to find ami
mails that are adapted TO the needs
OF the bacon producer.
By proper selection and feeding
bacon producing foods for two or
more generations the type of any of
the leading breeds can be changed to
