Eve Improvement.

As a rule sheep owners place too
much stress upon the selection OF the
ram. and too little upon the selection
of good, uniform breeding ewes. There
is no question but that good pure
bred ram can do much to improve a
flock of grade ewes, but as the flock
more nearly reaches perfection. It is
very necessary that we devote more
attention to selecting the breeding
ewes. or further improvement will be
out OF the question.
