Sheep Raising on the Farm

Sheep ranching has a very
fascinating history in the south
west. The lonely sheep herder
and his dogs nave long been dis
placed by the farmer with thor
oughbred sheep, COWS, hogs and
chickens. In fact, general farm.
ing is now practiced where the
land was formerly considered
unfit for crops, suitable only for
sheep grazing at specially favor
ed seasons. The sheep industry
of the southwest will likely in
crease in Importance since NUT
ton is becoming more popular as
a food and as ways and means
are found to market a small
quantlCy or WOOL.
But the small farmer who has
a pasture and who raises feed
crops will be the sheep man.
He will breed up his animals,
eliminate the improbable and
establish a desirable herd. There
are great possibilities in sheep
raising where one is situated
favorably for raising the ami
mails and marketing the pro-
ducts.
A few sheep on the farm in
dictate thrift and prosperity of
the manager. Sheep do more
than keep down weed; they
bring in revenue if given the
proper attention.
