PROFIT OF SLEEPING SHEEP Twenty-five or thirty years ago, when I was a boy, therewere very few sheep kept in this part of Chester county, Pennsylva nia; compared with the last five or ten. Far mers generally thought they were poison ' ous tope land. Thirty years - agb farmers would buy eight or ten ewes in the fall, and _ keep them over a year or more, for the pur pose of getting wool for manufacturing use in their own families, but with no idea of positive pecuniary prefit. , My father westinto sheep keeping more extensively. He generally boughtlwenty five or. thirty ewes in the fall, and put a giod buck among them about the first of October, so as to have them lamb in March. I was part of my work to attend these sheep in winter and' pring, but slier they were turned out to pasture there was very little care taken of them. We had a large tract of woodland, that was low .and marshy, which I think is not the place for sheep; they were turned there in the spring, and hardly allowed to look into a field the whole summer: t Within ten or twelve years I have gener ally bought from fifty to seventy ewes of the common stock in the fall, and kept a good buck to put with them. I may as well mention here that I have tried most all the ha prVied breeds of stock, and think the South delft the best for my purpose, as the lambs aneready for market earlier than any others. As a general rile in buying sheep I - select pretty-good wooled ones, about one-fourth Merino, as I think they are the best sucklere • and make the fattest lapabe. After the lambs are taken off the ewes get ready for market earlier than coarse or open wooled sheep. " I sell all my sheep except the buck every year and buy in a new lot. Twelve or fourteen years ago I bought some adjoining land, of which about ten acres were new land, partly cleared. I fenced it off and cut the timber and cleared it up, by cutting away the briars and rub bish. Part of it was thin land. plastered it and pastured it with sheep for about ten years, and about the end of that time I think it was as fine a "green grass" sod as I have ever seen. In the spring of 1858 I ploughed it and planted it in corn. In the fall the Cheater County Agricultural Society offered a premiuut for the best five acres, and shofar the best one acre of corn. I had been called upon by one of my neighbors to helpmeasure some corn, of which he had a very goodorop, for the _purpose of com peting for the premium. I happened to speak of it before my men, when they said we have a larger crop than that. They took a barrel out the next day and measur ed some heaps, and told me the result. I called on two of my neighbors and, after carefully measuring it, they made out the following report; "The beat one acre yielded 104 bushels of shelled corn; the best five acres yielded 95 bushels per acre ;" for which I received the List premium. I think it was owing to its being pastured with sheep as it never had any manure on it except the plaster. While speaking of this land I may as well mention that it was en oat of sight of the buildings, and I bring in sheep at night on accsunt of .3. My neighbor's sheep, which 1 `..: in the adjoining field, were frequent ly attacked by dogs, but mine were never disturbed. I have had but two sheep killed by dogs for tea years. I think the reason of it is that I put a number of belle on them, fromtwo to three dozen in a flock. Some farmers pasture the land very closely with cattle before turning their sheep on it. The consequence is a bare field ; butif you let the grass get up, and do not permit it to be eaten off by cattle - or horses first, I think sheep are no harder on grass than other stock. The spring of the year is the most dflicult time to keep them from eating down the grass. It is a great advantage for ewes that have lambs to have grass early. I frequentlylet themrun in my wheat field in winter and early spring to save the grass fields. I keep them aslong as I can on the field I intend to plant with corn that season, not ploughing It until late in April. I have not missed having a good crop since I have adopted this plan, and have never had my corn injured to aqy extent with cut worms or insect& I don't think It would be profi table for farmers to stock their farms al together with sheep on account of the re sulting manure. Although sheep make the very best manure, it is difficult to work up straw and corustaiks without some cattle. I keep nip sheep all togetheer in a good . dry, airy place in winter, keeping them in at nights and when it is stormy, bat letting them run out in good weather. - AbOut the that of March, whefi they commence lamb ing, I take out the ewes that have lambs and put them in a separate enclosure, mak ing a pen In one corner for the lambs to go in and eat meal, which they will do whin they are three weeks old.—Citervtcmtown, Telegraph. .
