Sheen In the South,

The Tribune Farmer not long ago
quoted Fl. B. Arbuckle, in "The Ameri-
can Sheep Grower: "There seems to
be new interest taken in the develop
ment of the sheep industry in the
SOUTH" 1t is true, and the wonder is
that greater interest was not taken in
sheep raising in the south long ago.
Unquestionably they can be raised there
more profitably than in any other part
of the union. Owing to the milder cli-
mate, shorter winters, less snow, and
consequently less requirement for sup
plying winter fodder, the south has q
natural advantage over the north and
west. In fact, sheep can be kept in the
south without any fodder at all.
South of the Ohio River they will live
on grass alone. Anthony Kilgore of
Kentucky, says: "For thirteen years
nv sheep have never been fed, either
winter or summer, but live bOuntifully
the year round on bluegrass alone" In
Texas, where 1,799,O sheep were re-
ported by the United States Department
of Agriculture as being on hand on JAN
uary l, 1908, no winter fodder is ever re-
quired. That the south has not taken
advantage of its opportunities is shown
by the small number of sheep kept there
in comparison to the number kept in the
states north of the Ohio River. On JAN
uary /, 1908, the twelve states of Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Flor
ida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Tennessee and Kentucky had within
their borders only 2,997, 900 sheep, as
compared with 3,11O,0O0 on farms the
same day in Ohio. In other words,
Ohio had $4,000 more sheep than the
twelve southern states mentioned.
The shrewd farmers of Ohio make
money raising sheep, else they would
not raise so many, and continue to do
so year after year.-Tribune Farmer.

Yes. there is whole lot of truth in

made to stand day after day on an un.

a cement floor is the easiest to keep
clean, and il is germ proof.
When cattle stand or lie on it, straw
or other bedding should always cover
the cement. Any board of health thai
