to withstand the attack of the strongy-
lus and make his growth to the point
where the butcher could use him with

that sheep are animals that love good
care-the better the care the more they
love II and the better they do. OF
course new pasture on which sheep

tions must lie theirs at all times. Once
and for all let II be remembered that
the lamb which cashes in such a
golden guinea harvest for the British
farmer Is not a product of poverty.
Rather is he a dellcately modelled and
finished creature OF affiuence. II he
gets the right sort of chance, the
right sort OF sheep. handled In the
