Except when snow was on the ground
they preferred being out in the hills
and brush foraging in the winter to
housing and feed in the barn.
This spring we had six lambs from
the eight ewes. All the sheep and
lambs are fat and in fine condition and
excellent health. We sheared and
shipped the wool last week. securing
IS cents a pound for It from a st.
Louis commission firm. The clip from
the nine sheep gave a net return, aft
er expressage and commission were
deducted. OF $21.S5. or a little over
$242 each sheep. for wool only.
This was about so per cent Of what
the sheep cost us last August when
they were purchased. Counting the
lambs worth IS each by August. the
total income from the flock will
amount to 351.S5. Deducting ,S5.s5
for feed. the flock will have netted
US $40 in one year, or even 100 per
cent net on the original investment.
which is from two to ten times az
much net profit as we make with any
other OF our farm animals.

sheep are the easiest Of all domestic
animals to handle. Our children like
them immensely. and can handle them
with ease and safety. They clean the
land Of weeds and sprouts. and they
fertilize richly as they roam and for.
age. They are so good in SO many
ways that we are preparing to in.
crease our flock to so ewes on the 100.
acre farm.
OF course, sheep and wool are extra
high in price right now, but indica.
lions point to continued high prices.
Those having hilly and rocky land can
turn 1t into rich income property by
fencing It and pasturing with sheep.
Money from the animals comes in at
least twice each year-when wool and
lambs are sold. Old sheep are high
priced. and lambs are the highest they
have been In many years, and prices
for both old and young sheep have
continued high without material
change for many months. Where the
farmer has any spare land not suited
to cultivation. sheep raising offers
golden opportunities at present. and
perhaps will be equally or more profit
able for years to come.

Families that serve wine at Eica.s
are doing the greatest injustice to
their children, for instead of allowing
them to drink anything but nonintoxi-

paid $50 and $40 for the ram. making

Since we had the pastures already
fenced with woven wire for hogs. cat.

year. They made practically all their
living on the waste OF the farm and
