SHREP ON SMALL FARMS.
Sheep are now the most profitable
stock a farmer can keep. A good ewe
will produce herself and will yleld
more than enough wool to pay for her
keep. Besides this, sheep are valu
able in cleaning up the rough spots
on a farm and keeping® down the
weeds that horses and cows will not
touch, The statement is made that
of six hundred plants common to a
section of lowa the sheep eats five
hundred and fifty, against eighty-two
for the horse and fiftysix for cattle.
In many places the farms are sald
to he “sheep hungry'--that is, they
need just this kind of grazing to keep
the foul stuff down.
It is comparatively easy to care for
sheep. There is little to do in feed-
ing them, and no stable to clean. This
does not mean, however, that they
need no care at all, but with a sheep-
tight pasture fence they will do well
with Jess attention than any other
farm stock,
There is a present tendency to un-
dertake sheep culture more generally
upon small farms, A company with
large capital has been recently or
ganized, which will let out flocks to
the New England farmers to keep on
shares, and a similar movement is
taking place in other sections of the
country.
Sheep are high in price now, and
the likelihood is that they will re
main so, as the demand for mutton
and lamb has grown enormously with.
