HINTS FOR BEGINNER

ness Of raising lambs, says the Ma
tional Stockman. II his farm and its
owner are not adapted to sheep. II the
locality is overrun with dogs, better
not start at all. Successful sheep hus-
bandry requires farm not too low or
wet and a man who il quiet and gen.
tie among his animals.
Perhaps the best way this young
man can start now 10 to buy a bunch
of good, straight, fine wool ewes bred
to mutton buck, IL he can locate such
a flock These are suggested because
they are hardy and require less atten-
ton or expert care than the mutton
breeds. They should be kept through
the winter In good, healthy condition.
They should be allowed to raise one
lamb apiece and no more. The fine
wool eve is good mutton lamb raiser
