the corn Is full grown. As a scaven-
ger, even goat Is not more useful
than sheep.
As meat-food animals sheep have
never been sufficiently appreciated in
the United States. They are, however,
of very great value. They must be
classed with hogs and poultry as the
most available animals to supply meat
for home use on the average farm.
They are readily slaughtered. the
meat can be kept without difficulty,
it cuts up without waste in sizes which
are convenient for the average family,
and the meat is nutritious, wholesome
and palatable when properly cooked.
The healthfulness of the sheep alone
gives it front rank as a meat-food
animal. Sheep rarely have tubercu-
losis or other diseases communicable
to man.
The foregoing statements are axio-
matte II the sheep industry is SO in
viting, why do the farmers seem to be
showing q tendency to eurtail sheep
raising? There are probably three
principal causes.
First = Intestinal parasites, princl-
pally stomach worms, cause serious
losses In farm fiocks over the whole
country, and almost entire lamb crops
are sometimes exterminated. IN no
farming sections are sheep free from
this danger. and no breed OF sheep is
immune, although some breeds-the
Merinos, for example--are less sus.
ceptible than others. No infallible
cure for stomach worms is known
but IL is possible to control them eco
nomically by keeping the lambs away
from the ewes except when nursing
and by system of pasture rotation
Unless farmer il willing to take pre-
cautions in the management of the
flock he should not raise sheep.
Second-Cur dogs are almost as
great hindrance to the sheep indus
try as parasites. The only protection
against them is to keep the flock dur
ing the day where it can be watched
and to put 1t into a dog-proof inclos
ure at night. An authentic case has
recently been reported from Michigan
where a flock of more than 200 heat
were all run to death in one night By
two cur dogs. Dog-tight night fold
can be built Of woven wire at small
expense.
Third-Farmers have not general!
recognized the proper place of tn,
sheep in agriculture in the settles
regions Too much Importance il
placed on wool. Except on the rang
where land, is cheap, the wool shoul,
be regarded as an incidental sid
line to help defray the cost of han
ding. Raising sheep for wool alon
does not pay on farms, and the al
tempts of farmers to make 1t pay
undoubtedly largely responsible 70
the prevailing opinion that sheep ar
not profitable on expensive land. Shee
are raised in England On some of tn
most expensive land in the kingdom
but they are raised as meat animal
and not as wool producers; the woo
is by-product. as it should be i
farm flocks.
If only rs per cent OF the farms o
which there are now no sheep shout
have a flock OF not over % or so ewes
managed with reasonable care an
protected against dogs. not only worI
