Brooklyn Farmer Succeeding With Sheep

on because one is not sufficient. Put ting a top pole on is not such job and not so expensive, it just looks so.'' Asked. What is a top pole?' he point ed them out and patiently explained: T take two sacks and put one each side of the wall and cross them on top, then l put a pole over and a pole under the cross. l do this all around the lot and the appearance is a wall with fence on top. l have never had a sheep go over such an arrangement Sheep like other peoples land better than their own and will try to getout if hungry. l give mine one hundred acres to travel over"
 MT. Downs keeps sheep to sell the wool and meat but the price of wool has dropped a whole lot in the past few years. In regard to keeping sheep his advice is: If people do not want to bother with them it is better not to keep them as sheep need care as well as anything else from which We wish to get results. In the winter they must be fed grain and good hay. People make a mistake in thinking sheep do not need to be fed good grain and good hay. In ambing time sheep need special care and one should be willing to give this care | night and day when needed
 To the question. "Is it hard to get competent heip 10 care for sheep?' his answer was. Yes, and a person before going into the business should make up l his mind to be willing to care for them 1 himself, if unable to secure help"
 i To the inquiry, Why is it that people | do not go in for raising sheep as in | former times?' his answer was. Wears 1 ago people were more neighborly, near i ly' every. farm had a flock of sheep and
 if mine had happened to have gone on
 neighbours land nothing would have
 been said. Nowthings have changed and
 if my sheep should get on a neigh
 bor's land there would be trouble"
 MT. Downs has owned sheep and
 handled them the greater part of the
 time since he can remember He knows
 their ways and habits, and the profits
 and losses of the business. He thinks
 sheep good investment and from tht
 way the flock clustered around him they think him mighty good master.
