PROFITS FROM
RAISING SHEEP
WHAT A MAURY COUNTY Wo.
MAN DID IN SIX YEARS WITH
A VERY SMALL START.

Mrs. George Dixon's experience
with sheep proves what can be done
in Maury county with that profitable
farm animal. Six years ago Mrs.
Dixon received as a present a lamb
which she made family pet. She
has never bought a single head of
sheep and yet from that one lamb
she has sold s5S worth of lambs and
wool and now has a flock of twenty
two head CT sheep and lambs. This
year the sheep sheared eight pounds
Of fleece each for which she received
twerty-three cents or an average OF
S1.S4 for wool from each member Of
the Cock. Mrs. Dixon lives In the
McCains section.
