nenhoe at American Sheep Husbandry.
'As sure as one and one are two
the sheep for the fanners Is one com-
bining in a high degree a good mature
carcass at two years old and a fleece
of clean, strong, lively wool that will
weigh ten pounds -or more. Men with
such sheep have not been -complaining
of hard times during the last five
years. Nor are such sheep hard to
find lay any means. Good sheep, good
pastures, good breeding, good man-
agement in good hands have lees coin-
petition than the opposite kind of
sheep and care given. The or-
dinary wool grower wants to
timed this. He has need of
Vetteng outside, above the class ho
complains of. It Is better beyond
where the best products are offered in
the markets. Mutton-sheep raisers
want all they can get for their wool
as well as mutton, but mutton-raisers
say least. There-has been a rainbow
la sight all the time for them.
Accuracy and DieseurIng.
Many farmers work too much by
guessing. They do not know the num-
ber of acres in teach field, or how large
a piece of laud- has been plowed In n
day. By knowing the breadth of a
lot, one may know the width of each
acre, the quantity of seed required
and the product per acre of each crop
The implements to be used, may be
two-rod surveyor's chain or a pocket
tape line, a pole eleven feet long, three
lengths of which make two rods, yard-
sticks graduated, and a small pocket
rule for measuring the size of fruit
and roots and for other purposes. A
frequent use of these measures en
Wales the owner to judge with much
accuracy of the distance measured by
pacing or hand measuring.
