big improvement results, not only
in the size Of the animal, but also in
the conformation and a notable in
crease in the weight Of the clip.
Better care and breeding go hand
in hand in the Improvement Of sheep.
Better breeding without good feed
and care will accomplish but little.
It any, Improvement, even in the ma
tive sheep.
At the present time one of our big
losses in sheep-raising seems to be
due to lack of attention. The eleventh
nishes the following data: During
1910, there were 1874 head of sheep,
or 1-2 per cent of the whole number
in the state killed by dogs. The value
OF these is given as $14.406. During
the same year the number Of sheep
that died from disease is given as l.,
7s3 head. For one sheep that died
from disease three were killed by
dogs. A 4l-2 per cent loss due TO
dogs goes a long ways to explain why
sheep raising in Florida has not been
found particularly profitable. This
can be easily overcome by doing away
with the dogs. and giving the sheep a
better chance.
Every country that has become
noted for live stock center has done
so through its united effort in pro-
ducing good animals, and in every
case, or almost every case, only one
breed of each class of animals has
been kept in that community. Take
for instance the Percheron horse
which comes from La Perche, France
This is the only breed of draft horses
kept or produced in that county
Again you might take the Shorthorn
cattle of England. In Durham county,
England, this was the only breed of
beef cattle known for many years
Another instance is that of the Island
of Jersey. For many years there has
been law prohibiting the importa-
ton of any other breed of cattle
alive, or for any other purposes than
immediate slaughtering. This was
for the purpose of keeping the breed
pure. and TO aid in building up a
breed of cattle that would be a credit
To the island
Would it not be a good time for
Florida farmers to follow these exam
pies, and in beginning to improve
their sheep. would it not be well to
adopt the method of community
breeding, in which all in a locality
raise the same breed Of sheep, the
one best suited? This would be 4
saving to the farmers in more WAYS
than one, and it would bring about
quicker results in the Improvement of
their sheep.
Community Breeding Cheaper.
If all the farmers in one section OF
county of the state kept the same
breed of sheep. the cost Of good sires
would be reduced For best results it
is necessary to change sires every two
years This means a considerable
outlay of money for the man who has
a herd Of several hundred head OF
ewes. If his neighbor kept the same
breed Of sheep, he could exchange
sires. If the sires are well cared for
they should continue in service until
six or eight years of age. This
means that each farmer keeping
sheep would only be required to buy
new Sires every six or eight years.
This in itself would mean a big saw

SHEEP IN FLORIDA
BY JNo. NJ. SCOTT.

According to the eleventh biennial
report of the commissioner of agri,
culture, there were in Florida 127,s64
head of sheep on July l. 1910. This
is only about ala head of sheep per
square mile In some sections of the
state the soil conditions are such that
sheep raising will not be found profit
able Still there is a large area of the
state that is capable of supplying
feed for q good many more sheep
than We now have.
In the past, the supply of mutton
has come mostly from the large
being broken up into small farms, and
large herds Of sheep are not so. COM
mon. The. future supply Of mutton
viii come from farms of from 40 to
500 acres. This is also largely true
jn regard to the future supply of beet.
Under farm conditions, a better grade
and quality OF sheep can be produced
than under range conditions. As
long as lands are cheap. a cheap
Iafoduct can be produced with more
prolit than a better article When
land becomes more valuable a good
product must be produced or there
viii be no profit. The farmer can
give his flock of sheep much more
ana better attention. than could the
man who runs his sheep on a largo
open range. This is about the case
in Florida. The land values and the
cost of farm labor are increasing.
and a better quality Of produce must
be forthcoming to obtain a better
price.
Hogs have been regarded merely as
scavengers on the farm. This is true
to some extent In a way We can
apply the same to sheep. Sheep can
be used on the farm to keep down
weeds to a large extent, and in this
way their keep. costs comparatively
nothing. However, it is impossible to
raise good sheep without some outlay
of both time and money. However.
nothing venture. nothing have"
The native Florida sheep at the
present time is of little market value
when compared with the sheep from
the central states where considerable
attention has been given to sheep
sheep is something like $500 per
head, while the average price in the
United States is double that amount.
This difference in value is largely due
to two causes. First, few farmers in
Florida produce sheep. They merely
keeN the sheep and let them produce
theTN selves. Ask those that are en-
gagged in the sheep business how fast
their herds increase. You are likely
to get the reply that they do Well if
they maintain the flock. If this is ali
that can be accomplished there must
be something wrong. Under fair con-
ditions and good management the
nock should increase at least 25 or 80
Der cent each year. Perhaps not all
Is due to lack of care and attention,
but q large part OF it is. Second. the
sheen of Florida are of no particular
breeding. About all that we can call
hem is sheep. The same was true OF
he western sheep in days gone by.
Fhe native Florida sheep make a good
bundation on which to begin inn
Movements. They win respond quick

From these figures you can form an
idea of the immense amount of dock

at Pensac cola. Besides this, there is a
constant demand for tow and steam

large demand for new tonnage of all

the opening Of the Panama canal and
the consequent development OF the
