A correspondent of the Twentieth ('.en• tray Flintier says: A well -fel flock of sheep b tho most profitable property a termer can Own. It is Seinetin.cs sac that the dairy cow is this. V that true, why is it that the number of sheet has increased over 3,000,00 in Great ilei faun in the last few years, until now there are over 300 sheep to every square mile? Sheep raising is looked upon by litany as a primitive industry suited only te poor lands and undeveloped agricul- tune. If sheep were suited only to rough and waste lands, why is it that in Great 1:ritain the tenant looks upon his sheep a., the surest rent -payer on land that is worth from $300 to $500 per acre. \Ve have oltivays advocated that any farmer can keep a small flock with sails. factory success. Failures in the keepii,g (,i sheep invariably happen in having loo large a flock to begin with, for if one is able to keep successfully a small flock, which any person with g:xxl judgment may do, it is no reason that ho can keep a thousand with the same success, for hi all arts appertaining to agriculture thero is no branch so difficult to become pro- ficient in as the shepherd's art.. This idoes not apply to sheep alone. Let any man overstock the capacity of his farm with hogs or cattle and disaster is suro to follow. In my thirty years ql experience in the sleep business I have always rnado more profit for the Bost consumed and the capital invested than any other stock. 1 have made 150 per cent. pro% on grade ewes raising early lambs for the Easter market. Sheep In fact turn into money in vari- ous ways:—First, is the meat, whether from hot -house lambs, rib %tett►ers or fel ewes that have raised several lots of -- lambs ; then (here is the; wren, whvh is C0nunanding a good price and which is harvested in the spring of the year, so to speak, when the farmer has the least to sell frorn any oilier source. And last, but not. least, in the constant improvement of the land, whi h sheep with the golden hoof ane! rich manure never fail 10 bring to rho tired and worn- out. cultivated field. Sheep is the 100 per cent. profit animal whether it be grazing on the rocks of the Ozarks or on the rich and rolling fields of the prairies. If you have never bad any experience in ttie business, let me warn you to go easy and buy a few ewes and figure on improving in the future. Ono of rho principles of success is to raise each year lambs that aro better individuals than their smothers. Ilave yot.r ideal. You know the one that answers to the accepted type and your ideal.

Ilokl on to the ones that conform the nearest to your ideal, and the most essential and important part is good care. As con►eono has said, "A wisp shepherd feeds him lambs a month More he sees theca, foolish one a month afterward." 1 want to impress upon the mind of al (hat in my experience the ono essential end most important thing to remember - ;c make the sheep profitable, is care.
