CHANCE FOR WOMEN.

our education Is so faulty" says Mr..
Kendall. that we send to the western
States and even to Australia for wool.
when there should be a flock of sheen

mill IN Maine. / canot impress people
100 strongly with the fact that sheep
are to be looked upon as partners who
are working every hour of the day and
night.
women are naturally adapted to sheep
raising and sheep respond splendidly to
their care. AS business proposition
for women there is nothing that can
compare with sheep raising

pie have for not raising sheep is dogs.
but that Is matter that can be prop.

CHEvIOTs BEST IN NEW ENGLAND.
Although there are at present eight
different breeds of sheep at Long
Branch Farm, only six will be WIN
tered. and Of these Mr.. Kendall stat.
that the Cheviot is best suited for north
ern conditions. Centuries of exposure on

The Cheviots are also in high favor
with the Canadians, who have crossed
them with their native breeds ThsV are
very hardy and rarely sick.
Out Of 100000 sheep slaughtered in
the United States last year not one case
OF Tuberculosis was discovered. The
greatest menace IL the stomach worm.
but properly handled that is not to be
much feared In our northern climate.
Mr.. Kendall believes that good prices
and healthy demand for sheep will
exist for at least Is years and he doubts
II the price Of wool will fall much below
30 cents per pound In that time.
Mr.. Kendall believes that flock OF
about 1000 is about the right size for
New England conditions. as flock Of
that size can receive the necessary spe-
cial attention. Education rather than leg
islation Is necessary to prevent the kill
ing OF lambs. as handled properly. plenty
OF lambs can be produced each year for
food and still keel tho docks up TO $40.

ately after that time are the acme OF
perfection Of feed for sheep. New Eng.

leys which the sheep love. There is
plenty of spring water a great variety
Of grasses. shrubs and bushes a COM
bination perfect for sheep to thrive on.
Then the cold winters give vitality. po-
tency and strength to the sheep.
Thousands of acres Of grasses. herbs,
ETC.. go to waste every year In New Eng
land, and when winter comes they are
frozen and lost. whereas they might have
been producing mutton and wool.
No animal so we'll lives up to the Bible

to waste.
A flock of sheep turned out on a run

a lamb apiece. and when November !
comes the land on which they have been
pastured will have been tremendously
enriched.
Sheep are the best partners in the
world. They are willing to do three
fourths OF the work and never strike. A
COW requires three-fourths of her own

a day all the year round.
with sheep it is absolutely necessary
to take good care of them in winter
New England has lost more than 100, OOC
sheep through the barn cellar disease,
dampness having killed more than all
the dogs put together. In Maine alone
5000 sheep died from that cause last year.
The sheep must have sanitary condi
lions and be froo of dampness. During
the winter feed them clover hay and
turnips and furnish them with plenty
Of tobacco and salt. That Is all that
IL necessary.
After May 20. when the sheep are
turned out to pasture, their owner can

The sheep viii look after themselves un-
til November !.
One thousand sheep owned by one man
can be handled much more probably
than 1000 sheep handled by 10 men, each
having 100 in his flock. The average
farmer will double the size of his dock
in five years. but 1t can be doubled In
three.

MAKE RUNDOWN FARMS PAY
Successful Raiser Says Sheep VIII nc

Farms.

1.-THE salvation of thousands OF rum
down farms in New England Is possible
through an increase in the productioh OF
Sheep" declared William b. kendai OF
Bowdoinham, Me-. in an interview with
a Boston Globe correspondent.
Mr.. Kendall Is the owner OF the Famous
Long Branch Farm, which Is wlnterlhg
the largest flock of sheep in New Eng
land. there being 2100 ewes ana lamps
and 100 rams. which are distributed on
seven farms averaging about two miles
apart. Each farm is in charge OF one
man. who looks after 800 sheep
"The man in the sheep business Is on
top of the wave." declared Mr.. kendaii.
To-day the sheep population OF the
world is H,0O0O0O head less than 1t was
when the war started and the enure
sheep population of the United states Is
only 100000. or less than the decrease
In the last three years.
1.-THE people of the United States should
be aroused to conditions as they exist
There are less than 100000 sheep Tor
each State of the Union. and wheh you
consider that Maine with less than ioo'-
goo head has more sheep than any o.her
New England State you can see now
serious the situation is here at nome. IN
New Hampshire there are only @'"v
sheep.

THE West has reached its limit as
sheep producing States. the vast heios
In that section of the country peihs

In 1880 Maine had 10000 sheep put
IN the 20 years that followed. that num-
Der declined more than 100000. NOW inc
state Is coming back into its own
Mr. Kendall started In the sheep pus'-
mes as side proposition. He had pur-
chased some 20 farms In his native town
aor the hay that they produced Aoout
years ago he purchased few sheep
anu became so fascinated with 'hen
that for the past five years he has made
