Up Much Of Llv!nu.

Sheep, In proportion to the value Of
their products, are produced more.
economically on the farm than any
other live stock ; the feed and labor re-
Quirements are less. They At in with
general farming, get much Of their
subsistence from forage from grazing
weeds and grass that would lot sup
port other stock. They eat little feed
that has a value as human food, and
need less grain than other animals.
They add materially to the farm reve-
