bred to him. which fact gives rise to
the old saying, THE ram is half the
flock" The selection of the ram is
thus seen to be a matter Of prime i'm
portance. Improvement in breeding
can be brought about in a flock at less
expense by the use of good ram
than in any other way. A good ram
is valuable investment, and the few
extra dollars in cost over the price OF
mediocre one multiply themselves
in returns on the lamb crop. The
wise selection of single ram has in
many cases made flock famous.
Probably sheep are subject to more
ills than any other class of domestic
animals. At any rate, they seem to
be more helpless in repelling the at
tacks made upon them. This need
not discourage the prospective shep-
herd, since good care and manage
ment will obviate most of these trou-
bles. Upon this care and manage
ment depends the luck" of the shep-
herd. Flocks are known to exist upon
weeds and waste roughages with lit
tie or no attention, but the returns
are proportionately meager.
A well-trained sheep dog is one of
the greatest friends Of the industry,
while the cur dog is one of it's worst
enemies. The Scotch collie is the
sheep dog of America, and a we'll
trained one can not be appreciated
unless seen at work. Their tireless
watching, even at night, makes them
invaluable to the sheep herder. BY
their barking they warn him OF any
prowler that may be lurking about
the flock.
Much of the sleepy flavor of mutton
comes from the generation of gases
in the stomach after the sheep Is
killed. For this reason sheep should
be dressed as rapidly as possible. A
platform six or eight inches high is
convenient thing to work on and
aids in keeping the blood away from
the body, insuring cleaner carcass
After dressing, the carcass should
be cooled to 40 degrees, or as neal
that as possible. In the summer II
will be necessary to have ice for this
purpose. Where there is a farm re

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Sheep husbandry should receive
more attention from the farmer of
this country than it does at the pres
emit time. Unquestionably sheep rails
ing could profitably be fitted into the
general management of thousands Of
farms where there is none at the pres
emit time. On many other farms the
size of the flock could be increased
and more attention given to this
branch of farming with resulting profit
to the owner, according to the depart
ment of agriculture.
I 1t has been estimated that sheep
will eat 80 per cent. of all trouble
some weeds. They are, in fact, COM
monty used in cleaning up weeds from
fields, fence rows, roadsides, stubble
fields and corn fields. The common
belief among farmers is that weeds
eaten by sheep are SO broken up in
the digestive processes that the seeds
will not terminate after passing
through the body as in the case of
other live stock. However, weeds are
rarely permitted to go to seed If
enough sheep are turned in the field
while the weeds are young and tender.
In some investigations carried on
by the Canadian government among a
considerable number of sheep to de-
termine the kinds of weeds eaten by
them, it was generally agreed that
sheep would consume all but very
few extremely unpalatable ones, such
as MULLEN, Scotch thistle, etc. Upon
inquiry as to the specific kinds eaten,
one farmer replied that he could not
give any definite information on the
subject, as the sheep kept his farm
80 free from weeds that he could not
see what kinds they actually ate.
Where sheep have been kept, but
where for some reason they have
been disposed of, striking difference
has usually occurred in the appear
ance of the farm. Weeds have sprung
up and grown where they had former
ly been kept In check. There is no
better solution to the weed problem
than a flock Of sheep.
The farmers sheep should be q
wool and mutton sheep, with empha
sis upon mutton. This dual purpose

a proved success, and it is already
