will study and apply some of the fun
damental principles underlying the
business.
On the average farm there should
be radical Improvement in breeding
and the care of details during farroW-
ing, weaving. etc. There are many
complaints throughout the country
either of small filters or else Il great
mortality In pigs. BY keeping the pro-
duction records of sows and selecting
from those that produce and raise
large average filters breeder can
raise to lis most efficient point the size
Of his filters. This probably runs be-
tween seven and eight to the litter.
The hog raiser can prevent losses
other than those caused BY disease, by
providing proper shelter for the sow
ut narrowing time. The raiser should
always cultivate the confidence of his
animals by quiet and humane han
ding; this care and attention in times
of necessity will pay big returns.

There is opportunity in sheep grow
Ing to Specialize along several different
lines, mutton or lamb on the hoof or
dressed, dollhouse lambs, pure bred

poses. and always with this important
item in mind, the annual wool crop.
Sheep may also very frequently be
utilized In greatly aiding the clearing
up Of wild or waste land. The assist.
ance they can render In cleaning new
land preparatory to breaking up Is Of
great value, as they are good foragers
and will browse on young brush and
sprouts and help XIII them out.
Sheep are no more susceptible to
their peculiar ailments than other
stock are to their natural enemies and
diseases, and with the high prices pre-
vailing for sheep and their products it

particularly those living In our rough,
billy sections, would enter this field Of
opportunity, which Is certainly very
promising.
There is no best breed Of sheep, any
more than there is best breed Of
COWS, horses or poultry, Some breeds
excel others for certain purposes there
are the large framed mutton types,
then the heavy shearing Merino type
and some that have a tendency to
breed out of the natural season, which
Is necessary for dollhouse lamb produc.

Ing this business must determine for
the purpose for which he Is to
grow them and then select his stock
with that object and the size of his
pocketbool, before hin, always bearing
In mind that it costs no more to feed
and house pure bred stock than scrubs
and that the opportunities for profit
are vastly greater.
