EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT FOR SHEEP FLOCK

Is made In this shed.
The windows of the shed should be
hung on center pivots to permit en-
trance of air through their full size.
Sheep demand an abundance of light
and cannot possibly thrive where 1t Is
damp and dark. For this reason the
number of windows must be ample.
The doors used by the sheep are made
In two parts. the upper half fsAeing

be said, is one Of the prime requisites
for any type of sheep building.
Such a shed as this affords good pro-
lection for sheep under any conditions,

feet, may be used for winter lambing.
