Study and observation will give It man a general icle'a of tate 'business, but there .are many 'points that mist be learned from actual experience before a man can have a fair assur- ance of success. The first essential of success is that the sheep have good; wal'in quarters, and that they be kept dry and clean. The Dorsets are the best "breed for earl,y lambs for the reason that they will breed any time that 'it is desired to have the lambs drop, but 'fur the common farmer who is going to start in the, business :on a small scale, I think that a, flock of first-class Meriut, ewes mated with a Dorset ram win soon grade up and make a very ef- ficient flock of ewes for the desired purpose. 'With all breeds there is a; certain percentage of ewesthat will not �t a breed at -the right time for the early lambs and these ewe lambs may be so improved by the use of Dorset rams that, they will make .esicellent ewes to retain for breeding pur poses. In this way, in a telt' years a fiuok of grade Dorsets will be ready to replace the Merinos that were used in the beginning. Of course, if ie were possible for a. man to, secure a Huck of grade Dorsets at a reason- able price it might prove more econ- omical but it is almost out of the question at the present time as very few men have this class of ewes for sale. The lambs should begin to drop about the last week in October ail<1 the ewes should then be put into winter quarters as there is less craft ger of losses and the lambs will thrive much 'better. A.s success dt pends upon the rapid: gains, ewes should !be fed on the right kind of food—that which is best adapted 1.1 producing a large amount of milk.
