Make Waste Into Meat.

The keeping OF a reasonable number
OF sheep on the average farm does not
necessitate the keeping OF fewer dairy
COWS or other grazing stock. This fact
was determined by the United States
department OF agriculture In It's recent
investigation Of sheep raising posi-.
billties in New England. II was found
that farms where sheep nre kept sue
cessfully have practically the same
number and kinds OF other live stock
as other farms OF like area where no
sheep are kept. and that the acreage
In crops on the two classes Of farms
Is substantially the anne The infer
nee Is that the farmer who keeps no
sheep Is simply throwing away enough
paaturage that cows and other live
stock do not utilize 20 net him a neat
