 History of Raising
 Professor Hinman ef Cornell gave a historical review of sheep raising He described the development of the Merino sheep in Spain and Its intro duetion into Southeastern United States by Spanish setflers He traced the development of the mutton type of sheep in Great Britain, and ana lyzed the reasons for their success. "The man who raises most ail of his feed will most surely make profit on livestock" he said At the present time dressed lamb is gaining in price The soil and climate is uneXcelled for sheen raising. We are close to some of the largest markets in the world. We are obtaining favorable legislation for sheep owners. Finally there IS a great revival of public interest that should bring the sheep back to New England in large numbers.
