In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs. and
recently it has been very much de
pressed. but il is an industry necessary
to a well-balanced agriculture and
usually it pays fairly coed returns
when fiocks are properly handled. Wool
is a staple commodity and mutton is
a regular part of our diet. though it is
much less used than beef or pork. Con
ditions in many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
in a relatively short time the sheep Will
be more profitable than during the past
year
Present conditions of depression are

usual prosperity was abnormal. There
is a surplus of wool on haLd in the

When there is danger that turkey
eggs may be chilled or destroyed they

the greatest destroyers of turkey eggs,
although occasionally minks. raccoOns,
coyotes. wolves. foxes. cats, and certain
large snakes also eat eggs. When a
