There should be few sheep on ev-
cry farm. 1t Is always admitted that
a few horses, or few cattle, few
pigs and some poultry must be kept
on every farm because they are nee
essary and economical-why not
sheep? II the dogs bother the sheep,
shoot the dogs. Perhaps, says bull
letin Issued by the organization of
Illinois Farmers Institutes, the chief
reason for not raising more sheep Is
that most people do not understand
them. but they are easily understood
when one begins to deal with them
A farmer In southern Illinois told
the writer that his flock paid s5.7 per
cent. on the investment. He said that
the lambs each year sell for as much
as the mothers cost and that the wool
pays the cost of keep. Each year the
flock produces AZ many lambs as there
are ewes A 100.pound lamb sells for
seven dJllars. as much as the mother
cost. The mother will shear q nine
pound fleece that will sell for $3.50,
and this will pay for the keep of the
S"o oHu Sho iduu. lHo average eve
will weigh 1870 pounds, and at Ave
cents will bring six dollars, profit of
S5.7 per cent. on the investment.
Sheep delight to clean up neglected
places-in the potato patch, the pig
lots, the stubblefield, fence rows and
everywhere In Minnesota It was
found that out of $50 kinds of weeds
there were only Atty kinds that sheep
would not eat.
The best time to sell a sheep is
when 1t 10 . lamb. II 1t weighs 80
pounds. is fat and has the quality, 1t
will sell as a prime lamb at any sea-
son of the year. This IL the popular
weight for market lamb, but 1t must
be fat; II 1t Is not fat 1t will be dis
eliminated against. Alfalfa hay and a
little grain or corn silage Is a good ra-
ton for use In finishing lambs for
market. The quality OF a lamb is In
dicated by short legs. fine feet and
compact form
Male lambs should receive atten-
ton when from eight to sixteen days
old, and neglect means that the lambs

recorded showing that during the &C

feeding has become one Of the most
important In the country, 30 far as
many farmers are concerned, there
are many who, in my opinion. miss
some Of the main points altogether.
An intelligent provision for summer
feeding gives substantial advantages
to the farmer.
Less land IL used for pasturage and
consequently the percentage Of waste
10 reduced. II there is a saving In
the amount of land 1t simply means
the use OF less capital in this branch
Of agriculture.
In other words a farm of 100 acres
should yield as good results as one of
$50 acres under the old methods.
or still greater Importance perhaps
is the matter of keeping up the milk
supply to contract requirements and
that OF maintaining the growth and
strength OF live stock generally.
In the early part OF the season
when pasturage growth is rapid ami
mails waste fully as much fodder as
they consume. but by midsummer the
dry weather is pretty sure to curtail
the growth of grass to such an extent
that the milk supply is lessened and
flesh and growth are impaired.
The conclusion is that the farmer
should not depend on pasturage after
the first of July and therefore only
so much land should be devoted to
grazing as may be needed in the most
favorable part of the season.
The problem of supplying summer
fodder can easily be settled by the
cultivation of the part of the pasture
land which is saved. Young stock
will then obtain uniform growth while
by the same means a dairy win keep
up its milk supply.

A silo is a good auxiliary In provid.
ing for either summer or winter feed
ing and there are various methods
along the line of intensive farming
which will enable owners of cattle to
use less land and at the same time
attain the results desired.
