Winters Not Severe.

Very similar in many respects TO
the breeding of cattle Is the busi.
ness of dairy.ug. With intelligent
management, large crops OF corn al
fafa. timothy, alsike, red and crimson
clover, oowpeas, and soya beans can
be grown on the bottom lands OF the
farm; the hills furnish cheap and
abundant pasturage; fewer buildings
are needed than in the north where
the winters are severe, and the, best
of home markets are but indifferent1y
supplied with fresh milk, cream or
butter.
The raising of sheep, both for wool
and for mutton, should become a
more extensive business in the state
than 1t Is at present. for 1t yields
splendid profits. There are several
counties in the state, among which
are Monongara, Dodridge. Richie.
Wood, Peasants. Tyler, Wetzel, Mar
SHAH, Brooke. Ohio and Hancock, with
a Petmdan limestone soil. which pro-
duce the finest quality OF wool in the
country, commanding the highest
prices in the market.
