SHEEP FIT IN WITH FARMING
Produced More Economically Than
Any Other Live Stock--Graze
on Noxious Weeds.

Sheep. In proportion to the value OF
their products, are produced more eco
nomically on the farm than any other
live stock; the feed and labor require
ments are less. They fit in with prac-
tically every kii.j of farming; get
much of their subsistence from forage,
from grazing weeds and grass that
would not support other stock. They
eat almost no feed that has value

than other animals. They add mate

BEST FOR BUSINESS FARMER
Fact Remains That Purebred Amman
Is Best Suited for Utility
Purposes on Farm.

Farmers used to think that pure
bred animals excelled common stock
only In show qualities, and that FOR
utility purposes they had no addl.
tional value. But 1t has been proved
that every show point has vital con-
nection with utility qualities, and after
all is said about the uselessness or
fancy points, the folly of fine pedi,
grees, and the absurdlty of high priced
ancestors, the fact remains that the
npre. bred animal is the common-sense
animal for the business farmer.
