way has also limited the area of pasture formerly devoted to sheep in the dis- 

 trict. Not a few farmers who used to let a small flock pasture on the roads 

 have been forced to get rid of the sheep." 



A correspondent from Lanark County says : 



"I think at the present time, when help is so scarce and wool and lambs 

 a good price, that sheep head the list as regards profits." 



In connection with the consideration of the relative profits from cattle, 

 sheep and swine, the following- table will be of interest. This table shows 

 the highest prices quoted on the Toronto market early in July, September 

 and November for the last ten years for cattle, sheep (not lambs) and 

 swine. It is considered that the bulk of the sheep are marketed between 

 July ist and December ist.
