Keen Sheep Thrifty.

There is one thing the farmer can
not afford to overlook in sheep rails

health, gain in quality, quantity and
productiveness, the elements out of
which the profits are derived. 1t must
be the first object Of the owner to
keep his sheep in thriving condition.
The quality of the wool, as well as the
quantity, and the general productive
