SHEEP MAKE GOOD HELPERS
They Will Feed off Weeds and
Growths All Season That Other
Stock Will Not Touch.

Sheep are good farm help. They
will range a farm from early spring
until late fall feeding off weeds and
growths that other stock will not
touch. A small flock will NOV the
orchard and keep down the weeds
about windbreaks, fences and build
ings. All Of this is simply incidental
velvet as the wool clip pays for the
f1ock's keep. The mutton return is
the main source of profit. Besides,
the high value Of farm land, which
cOmpels farmers to fence their acres
for hogs and other stock, lightens the
added expense for keeping sheep.
This year with wool at 10 and 10
cents pound above normal prices
and mutton higher than it has ever
been, any farmer is assured hand
some returns if he gives his flock
reasonable care.
